"Porandhadhu panaiyur mannu, Marudhanayagam enbathu pergalil onnu" (born in the land of Panaiyur, Marudhanayagam being one of his names) thus starts the title song, released a few months ago, from the ever-expected film of tamil cinema, Marudhanayagam. It is an epic movie about a warrior-revolutionary-general in the British era, who fought them.
The lyrics, along with Ilaiyaraaja's life-filled voice and his hauntingly mesmerizing score makes this song on par with Raaja's best works. The song starts with a folk style tune and blends into western classical during the end notes. The lines "madham kondu vandhadhu saadhi, indru manishana thorathudhu manu sonna needhi" is a testimony to the emphasis placed on the lyric-writing of the song. Hats off to the team that brought out this single, also posted in IlaiyaraajaOfficial channel in YouTube.

This, Kamal's ambitious and magnum-opus project, has resurfaced several times during the 19 years since its inception, but the expectation about the film hasn't been so high, with Kamal and Raaja singing the title song together at Ilaiyaraaja1000; while we also hear news that a leading production house is interested in taking up this mammoth project.
