Nil Nil Nil Badhil Sol Sol Sol .. Just Stop and listen mates...

The influence of Raja in bringing folk music to TFM is insurmountable. At the same time the way he has patronized classical music in his songs is enviable. Vasantha- an extremely pleasing raga has been used by Music directors all the while in TFM and its imperative that Raja has a few numbers in it too. Albeit in an ordinary movie Paattu paadava, this melody melts many a hearts.

Nil Nil Nil Badhil Sol Sol Sol Enai Vaattaadhae
Vil Vil Vil Un Vizhi Ambil Enai Thaakkaadhae

Nillaamal Badhil Sollaamal Engae
Sendraalum Vida Maattenae Anbae
Dhinam Ennarugil
(Nil Nil Nil Badhil)

Naanam Ellaam Konjam Oyveduthaal
Naan Valaippen Unnai Poongarathaal
Yaegaantha Vaelayil Yaen Indha Oodalgal
Aarambamaanadho Aanandha Thaedalgal
Thaen Koottil Ulla Thaen Yaavum Manam Vendidaadho
Nool Kooda Idai Nuzhayaamal Enai Cherndhidaadho Sol
(Nil Nil Nil Badhil)

Oviyamaai Unnai Theetti Vaithen
Ul Manadhil Adhai Maatti Vaithen
Meen Vizhundha Kannil Naan Vizhundhaen Anbae
Oor Marandhu Endhan Per Marandhaen Anbae
Koo Koo Koo Ena Kai Korthu Kuyil Koovidaadho
Poo Poothu Pani Poo Poothu Madi Thaavidaatho Sol
(Nil Nil Nil Badhil)

This song is sung by Raja himself and Uma Ramanan. Very intelligent use of Vasantha Raga in a rich tune makes this song a listening pleasure. Raja finds it a bit difficult to render the number at some places still a commendable effort from him. Uma ramanan lives up to the reputation of singing the best numbers of Raja. She does apt justice to the tune and elevates it a level higher.

My bestest pick in this song would be

Meen Vizhundha Kannil Naan Vizhundhaen Anbae
Oor Marandhu Endhan Per Marandhaen Anbae

Utter Bliss!! Can Vasantha sound better? J
