Projekt Ilaiyaraaja Season III — 12/365 — Ore Idam

Whenever a movie has a super-duper hit song, the rest of the songs in the movie fade in the background. This song is one such melody that lost to the evergreen Sorgam Madhuvile.

Wonderfully rendered by P Susheela, her voice is followed by bass guitar and a soft flute in the background. But, the interesting bit is the early onslaught of Ilaiyaraaja’s interlude brilliance. The first and the third interludes are based on trumpet and the second interlude is a male humming (possibly SPB, not credited) — all three will transport you to another world.
