Innisai Padi Varum - Thullaadha Manamum Thullum
Today I am presenting a song composed by Sri S A Rajkumar and sung by the great singer Sri.Unnikrishnan. I am a great fan of this legendary singer from 1990's. Infact I read an article about Unnikrishnan in 'India Today' in 1994 and bought an album called 'Melodious Moods' which had some wonderful Bhajans and Keerthanas.Since then I never stopped hearing him and I have a fairly big collection of his songs. He has a strong classical background he is a disciple of Dr.S Ramanathan and Savithri Sathya Moorthi. Infact A R Rehman brought him into the film music. He has a unique style in rendition and his renditions are rich in emotional aspect.He won National award for best male singer twice for his brilliant renditions in 'Kadhalan' and 'Pavithra'. I had the fortune to listen to him live thrice inlcuding once at Sri.Vaikom Mahadevar Temple . I should say I was spell bound by his concert. One should hear his renditions in the album 'Gopi Chandanam' on 'Lord Krishna' composed by another genius music director and singer Sarath. And he is a cricket enthusiast who played for the Tamilnadu senior division league as a Top order Batsman and Wicket Keeper. The song is 'Innisai Padi Varum' from the film 'Thullaadha Manamum Thullum' casted by Vijay and Simran. This song is composed by Sri S.A Rajkumar who has around 42 Tamil movies to his credit. Other films to his credit are Aanandham,Vaseegara, Priyamaana Thozhi,Pudhu Vasantham to name a few. I like this song very much and thought I would give a try. Unnikrishnan has done a wonderful job in the rendition. Infact Reji was telling me during recording, that there are problems in the track at one or two places. Anyway I thought of sharing with all of you. If I get a better track, I will remix it and upload again.
The upcoming releases are 'Golden Oldies - Part 2' , duets with Srividya and Divya, and some more bhajans and Carnatic music . Thanks for all your support and encouragement. Please keep listening and share your thoughts to improve my singing. I once again kindly request all of you to leave a comment in the comments section after hearing the songs.

Murali,
Fantastic song, wonderful writeup about Unni who is one of my
favorites too!
Didn't know about his Cricketing skills though.
He was here last year on a Light music concert. His singing was breathtaking. I bought some CD's and got his autograph.

SA Rajkumar, is a good composer. He has given quite a few hits. I like this song too.

You've done a wonderful job as usual. I did notice that you said 'paatoLi' instead of 'pattoli'..in the sentence 'kaatralai illai endraal oru paattoli ketpadhillai'. Otherwise I didn't see anything wrong.! One observation ( though can be fixed via equalizer..was your voice could have been a little in the front. That's all.!
Great work Murali.!! Way to go.!!!
Question - What is your Mother tongue ?

A few minor tamizh pronounciation errors like NV pointed out but nothing that mars your rendition of the song
