Here comes the King, and this is the first of his 6 songs in this month’s best. Vibhavari Apte has been a regular at all of Ilaiyaraajas shows and here too she sings this wonderful tune to perfection. Straightway as the opening lines end, it’s the magical violin interlude of this genius that have a stamp of his musical authority. He is adamant as an individual and many people abhor him for this but as musician this vice becomes virtue as he flourishes even today with his Modus Operandi of having two different interludes between the stanzas and he does this when the whole world of tamil ceinma music has stopped even giving one decent interlude in songs. A keen listener will know and appreciate the accompanying violins all along during the paragraphs.
