C.Ramachandra, MSV-TKR, S.D.Burman to Ilayaraja , they got so many chances to do FEMALE DUETS,
yesterday I was making a list,
only one pattu from Rahman!

yaaro yaarodi....alaippayudhey.

If I had to choose the most un-Rahman Ji-ish song post 2010, then hands down my vote goes for, Beera. OK, I’m kidding, Rahman Ji’s vocal presence in the prelude can be attributed to many of his gems but besides this vintage humming there isn’t much I can seriously relate to with reference to the rest of his songs.

Simply put, this is the amost non-Rahman Ji song which thankfully has clicked with people from different walks of life.

You know that you’re hearing a great song when you remove the core melody from the additional instrumentation and arrangements, if the core melody is lingering in your head after this then there’s no looking back. I don’t think there is another carefree melody bringing so many smiles as much as Beera and as a fan you can improvise the lyrics without deviating to much from the melody (talking from experience, I’m mainly singing/humming gibberish) when I’m in a comical mood.

As a title song(?), I would have never expected Rahman Ji to churn out such a number i.e. Tribal, fun-loving, simple. I was definitely expecting something more sombre yet exuberant, lavish and high on orchestration.

The pattern is highly free flowing yet it has little or no deviation. Keerthi Sagathia sounds ditto of Kailash Kher, but from hearing his other songs, I’ve come to a conclusion that he can reach the extremes of Kailash Kher as well as the mellowness of Naresh Iyer (prime example being the Gujarat Swarnim song).

The reason why I brought this up, is because when I went for my vacation this song was constantly ringing in my head for no clue what so ever.
