It's quite an interesting song with two female singers for two women shown on screen & SPB for K Backiaraj. Sasireka sings for the girl on phone while SPS croons for the mentally ill wife (and that's why all those 'yEi, ooi, bayanthuttiyA' kind of sounds). A not-so-succesful thriller movie made by Backiaraj (probably to prove that he was the mastermind behind Sigappu RojAkkaL). In any case, the first IR-SPB song for Backiaraj which had decent air time and was among the "collector's items" for those who went to recording shops with he burma bazar TDK cassettes. Occasionally also heard on buses. Not a big hit neither a totally neglected / forgotten one. Has youtube & otherwise presence today on the web.

I remember watching this movie in one of those parithAba theaters on Trichy-Tanjore road between Senthanneerpuram tolgate and Thuvakkudi. so-so movie with KB as the hero / villain and Black belt as police. The most talked about scene of jumping out of the train to kill wife was quite interesting & decent but otherwise nothing much to write about the movie.

Then & now I prefer 'neengAtha eNNam onRu nenjOdu uNdu' (MV-SJ) to this song
