Megham Poothu Thudangi from Thoovanathumbikal
Again I am presenting another song composed by Sri. Perumbavoor G Ravindranath. Earlier I presented 'Kannil Nin Meyyil' composed by this great music director. Based on a strong classical foundation, he composes songs in an amazing time frame. I used to ask about the story behind the creation of super hit songs from Innale, Thoovanathumbikal etc. The film Innale had a song composed in Atana raga. I was told that Perumbavoor G Sir felt like composing it in Atana while he was teaching students a Deekshithar Krithi in the same Raaga. And the moment Sri.Padmarajan heard this tune, immediately was excited with it. Each of these wonderful songs will have beautiful and inspiring stories behind the creation.
The song whis is being presented today is from another Padmarajan Classic 'Thoovanathumbikal'. I would say this is a must see film for anyone. This is another classic from the great director. One should see the performance of Sri.Mohanlal, the great actor too in this movie. The song is 'Megham Poothu thudangi' written by Sri. Sreekumaran Thambi. This is a brilliant composition especially considering the context in the film. The song is simply awesome in the golden voice of K J Yesudas. I felt that this song is not an easy one to sing although it sound a bit simple when we hear it. Neverthless I have tried to do justice to the song.

Murali, superb song and I love this very much. Which are the movies composed by Ravindranath sir other than Innale & Thoovaanathumbikal? He is a great talent indeed.
BTW, the aalaap in the beginning sounded somewhat different than your voice. Almost similar to Pradipettan's voice. :-) Was that done by him??
