Story was the usual masala - Vijayan the inspector and rajini a thief are brothers who get separated in childhood. When they meet in a strange situation vijayan is thrown out of the train and Rajini lands in the village as inspector and events following that is the story. Rathi who performs dance in the street helps rajini and steals his heart.
Illayaraja had lot to do with the Background score and had some good chance to prove in the dance sequences for Rathi. Former being the romantic love duet between Rajinikanth and Rathi.While latter is typical dance number for Rathi.Both the extreme situations well handled by IR and aptly written lyrics by Vaali.
Rathi – illiterate village girl has to sing casually which is brought out by P.Suseela . See the way she ends each “urasa” in each line and sums up when she sings “ poova kaatha urasa “ the exact manner in which a village girl sings.
Rajini – he comes to village though not born in village gets adapted to that atmosphere gives a mix of village and a normal behaviour is brought out easily by S.P.B
This is yet another gem by SPB-PS duo!!
Flow of music throughout the song takes us to the village atmosphere – that’s IR’s creativity.
Vaali - asusual takes up simple words with village nativity and carves a neat poem out of that which takes the shape of kaathodu poo urasa.
Super Star Rajinikanth
