"Expect nothing and you're apt to be surprised"- With somewhat that thought attached to my mind I listened to the album "Thaalam" (Taal in hindi). Ofcourse I have to point out that, I always have high expectations to each and every composition by A.R.Rahman. Still when I heard this album for the very first time, a few years back, I wasn't quite impressed. Neither did I take the time to listen to the numbers carefully. Don't know whether it was because of the fact that it was a hindi movie dubbed into tamil or simply because the songs had been difficult to perceive, while listening to them for the first time. The last mentioned seems to be an explanation we all can relate to. As it is a very well-known fact that A.R.Rahman's songs tend to grow on you slowly after a few listens. Anyways, before I knew it I became fond of the songs and I was very much hooked on 'Kadhal yogi' and 'Enge en punnagai' in particular. I was pleasantly surprised, when the songs from the album actually exceeded my expectations.
However I couldn't just leave the song "Enge en punnagai" with just listening to it, so I did a cover version of it :) I do have to add that there were very few lines to sing in this one, so I took the chorus part as well. Now, presenting my version of this breathtaking piece by the Maestro of Madras.
Movie: Thaalam (1999)
Music: A.R.Rahman
Lyrics: Vairamuthu
Originally sung by: S.P.Balasubramaniam, Shoba, Sukhwinder Singh
