Current craze in TN
At various times, a single song takes over the entire state and all radio and TV channels play it over and over again. Then a positive externality gets created through passive hearing, live requests and so on and the song continues to resonate all around the state. In the recent past, “Vaala meenukkum” and “June ponal” readily come to mind.
The current favourite seems to be Subramaniapuram’s “Kangal irandal“. I watched the song once and instantly fell in love with it. I remember when Minnale’s audio was first released, “Vaseegara” captivated people like me so much that we couldn’t wait to see how the song was picturised. When the movie was released, we actually regretted seeing it as Gautam Menon entirely killed that song. Thankfully “Kangal irandal” has been picturized very well. The 80’s feel (similar to Nizhalgal), wonderful lyrics (after a long time), a lovely leading lady suiting the lyrics, some funny portions - very pleasing overall.
Update: Isn’t the beat of the song very similar to “Ithu oru pon maalai pozhuthu“? Also, the nadaswaram interlude reminds one of “Poongathave thazhthidavaa”

Nice song indeed..BTW, its not “thazhthidavaa”.. it is “Thaazh thiravaai” means “open the lock”
