Song: kaaviri nagarinil
Movie: vaazhndhu kaatugiren
Singer : PSuseela
Lyrics: kaNNadasan?
MD: MSViswanathan
Year : 1975

This is the song of a woman who doesnt take rejection very well. She takes an extreme step when her own husband gives more importance to his mistress than her. The last 2 lines

varuvadhu varattum naanum peN thaan
vaaznthE kaattugiREn ... en vaazkkaiyai iRaivan kaakkavillaiyenRaal
kOvilaip pUttugiREn ... kOvilaip pUttugiREn

Pretty much sums up the extremity of the character.

But the song and the lines were wasted in an absurd film. (discussion on the film here

Thanks to JN for the song and lyrics.

The VJ version of the song is an equally good one. Very rarely we have 2 versions of the song sung by 2 different singers of the same gender.(SARakjumar songs are exceptions ) PS does a commanding job and as always she gets all the expressions right.
