“There is a woman behind every successful man” – I used to interpret this with a different explanation in a lighter vein. If a man has to taste success, he has pull out the obstruction (woman) in front of him and put her behind him. When I heard this song, I was surprised that similar explanation was given by Raaja in mid-eighties itself! All the songs in the film were penned by Raaja. To get to know the real power of this writer, you should hear the other songs in the film – Thoondamani, Moonu velai & Chittukuruvi. You just wonder how this man could write so many songs (with substance) when he was very busy composing for around 50 films in a year..!
Paattukku Paattu is an ancient musical format where two contrary opinions are put forward by two different singers. This song is composed in this format. One of the singers (Raaja) has a high opinion about women where as the other one is very critical about the females (He considers them only as a bhodhai porul…).
If there were two singers in the 80s who could pronounce Tamizh words without any problem, it has to be MV and Raaja. These two singers come together in this song – and you are sure that Tamizh lyrics will be safe in their hands.
The prelude starts with a simple guitar-flute piece, followed by humorous “Logula..
Logula…” humming by MV. For a change, both the singers have equal chance to exhibit their singing talent. And the winner is…. Mudiyala…. I could not come to a conclusion… But ultimately the real winner is the listener..!
All the instruments in both the interludes blend perfectly with the humorous situation. In the second interlude, MV mimicking M.R.Radha will not fail to bring a smile in you (Radha Ravi was the hero for this film – another disastrous film..)
The rustic rhythm pattern keeps on changing frequently thru out the song and you will find it difficult to control your feet from erupting into a dance..! The connecting base from saranam to pallavi… a brief tabala beat… is a stunner. The chorus adds to the overall “kutthu” effect.
