After a hiatus I'm back with a cover version of a personal favourite from Salilda's Malayalam repertoire. This song was composed for the movie 'Raagam', the Malayalam remake of 'Anuraag' with some obvious classy and trademark techniques of Salilda. Deriving the tune from his own Bengali composition (Jodi Barono), he pleasantly re-orchestrated it to give an evergreen touch. While the Bengali version was rendered by Lataji, the Malayalam version was handed over to 'Lataji of the South'- the undisputed melody queen, P.Susheela. This remains one of her concert favourites till date. Hats off to the magical duo-Salilda and Susheelamma.
Original singer: P.Susheela
Composer: Salil Chowdhury
Album: Raagam
Cover version by Karthik R
Ambadi Poonkuyile | Online recorder
