Chini kum

Was staring abstractedly out of the car window when my attention snapped. The DJ played the title song chini kum. Five seconds into the evocative composition, I exclaimed - 'Ilayaraja'. It is the same composition as the hit 'Mandram vandha thendralukku'. I thought is has been copied and I even thought that the background music was not up to the original. Apparently the song is credited to Ilayaraja in the new film as well.

I revisited http://www.s-anand.net/Classical_Ilayaraja_4.html

Went to the library. 'Feluda' books are fun to read. Ray never ceases to amaze me.
