Is there one song that you hear 1734 (you’ve actually lost count) times and still can’t help falling in love with it all over again every time you hear it!? I know.. This is one such song. I almost have a compulsive desire to start with this song every time I open my play-list.
“Oru kili oru kili” from the tamil movie ‘Leelai’…
The heavenly voice in this number belongs to Shreya Ghoshal. As I listen again to that song, even as I’m typing, I can’t help but think when I would get bored with this song. Haven’t reached that point as yet. I have even gone hours hearing this one song on loop for days (I am sure many could relate to this obsession! :))
And it is a pleasure to watch it too. Beautiful leads(!!) with beautiful locations. Again everything is simple! I wonder why the movie got little reception upon its release. The story or the screenplay wasn’t so great, but it was good watch with much less drama. Nevertheless, it does have its own share of fan followers, like myself 🙂
When a film like Aadugalam (can get merited with National Awards (pun intended! I have an inexplicable aversion towards this movie!!) and a song like ‘Jai ho’ can get Academy award, this movie definitely deserves at least a one-time watch. I have no hatred nor affinity towards this song ‘Jai Ho’. But I am sure most ARR fans would acknowledge that he has other songs that are much more intense and amazing, to his credit. In fact his other patriotic song ‘Vande Mataram’ is more energetic and can get anybody to like it instantly. But such is the nature of success!
While the current day music is just getting louder and more repetitive, this song is an irresistible hear!
Do hear it, to feel it. Here is the YouTube link..
Happy listening! 🙂
