Seldom has a new song captured me by my gut and put me on a spin like this! If a film song does so much within me, itвЂ™s always by an MSV, Ilaiyaraaja or AR Rahman.ДЄnother recent song that held me to ransom is a Telugu number, sung by my current favourite singer, Sid Sriram, for the film, Geetha Govindam. Something about the way the lines fall into the lower notes and settle down like sand on a river bed while the still waters of the melody run deeply, silently, makes my heart swell up with an emotion I didnвЂ™t realise had existed inside of me. The charanam of Kadhale KadhaleВ has the flourish of a symphony as the instruments blend with the female voice and sends us into an eclectic high: Kadhaley kadhaley, Thaniperumthunaiye, Koodavaa koodavaa Podhum podhum.Д®ach time the Koodavaa line plays, my eyes well up. The teaser stayed on for other reasons too: The shots of the hero as a photographer, the heroineвЂ™s yellow salwar and smile, the shot of their hands on the metro rail pole, as if they were holding on to the pole to balance their aura.

The chorus had lingered from when I saw the teaser of the film to which this song belongs: 96, starring Vijay Sethupathi and Trisha Krishnan. Tuned and penned by names I hadnвЂ™t heard before (music composer Govinda Vasantha, who I later came to know is the founder of my favourite band, Thaikkudam Bridge, and lyricist Krishna Netha), the only recognisable contribution in the song, when I heard it for the first time, was ChinmayiвЂ™s mellifluous voice. There was no looking back thereafter! The whole song became a beautiful waltz in my head. The line reminded me of my favourite Tamil poet Bharathi - the way this phrase acts as the last line of the stanza (the whole song is like a sonnet) and lingers on the word kadhaladi had the dhwaniВ (sound) of my MahakaviвЂ™s affinity to love. Add to that a haunting hum that buzzes through the melody and I went, вЂњWhat is this new noise in the pretext of a love song?вЂќ But when the song settles on ' Kaanbadhellaam kaadhaladi', I got hooked. The film took a low profile opening, but eventually out ran bigger profile films Ennodu Vilayadu and Pagadi Aattam at the Chennai box office.I always get skeptical when words like pooranam and panjavarna bhootham peep out of a film song. The reviewer added that 'despite the usual triangular love story and sulk between the lead pair, the newcomers provide a fresh feel but after a point of time, we get tired due to their raw performances while the plodding romance and long drawn out climax in the second half test our patience'.

stated 'it is watchable for the honest attempt but the execution could've been much better' adding 'the biggest strength and minus of Kadhal Kan KattutheвЂ™s is its casting'. Likewise, a reviewer from the Deccan Chronicle wrote 'though Kadhal Kan Kattuthe is the usual romance, breakup, reunion story, what makes it tick is its lively presentation combined with well-written dialogues and appreciable performances from a new set of actors', concluding that overall it was 'a cool and breezy film that is worth a watch'. The Times of India wrote 'itвЂ™s always a pleasant surprise when a small film manages to punch above its weight', adding that 'this refreshing little romance does this in an impressive manner, even while ticking all the genre indispensables'. The film opened on 17 February 2017 to coincide with the Valentines Day weekend. The album released on 24 November 2016 and featured five songs. The film's music was composed by Pavan, while the audio rights of the film was acquired by Trend Music.
