Andhi Mazhai Pozhikiradhu Song Analysis

One of the finest songs where you can relish the art of "Complimenting" each other:

I don't have words to describe the "photographic" touches to compliment this song (or) the "poetic" touches of this song to compliment Kamal and Madhavi's performance (or) SPB Anna & Janaki Amma's "deadly voices" to compliment Mastero's Music (or) the amazing background score of "violinists" to compliment TVG Anna's one "mridhangham".... I can go on & on.....

If you listen carefully you can admire Mastero's awesome thinking and his professional touches in the following places:

1. In the entire song there will be a subtle usage of the sound "Dham" from Mridhangham - respecting the value of TVG Anna (though I'm not sure of "Dham" exist in Mridhangham)..

2. SPB Anna and Janaki Amma would have paced their voice to suit that "Dham" and they compliment each other exclusively with the Aaalaap "Aaaaaaaaaaa".... This is even more awesome as 1 person is performing the Aalaap, 1 person is singing the song, 1 person is concentrating on maintaining the "Dham" rhythm... This is Mastero's exclusive touch of creating uniqueness of all stalwarts...

3. During TVG Anna's initial Aalaap - Mastero would have opted to use only Tabla, while for Aalaap's inbetween the "Dham" from Mridhangham flows effortlessly..

4. One more ultimate Mastero touch in this song is the "Octaves" in which SPB Anna and Janaki Amma would have sung this song - You can draw a perfect "Bell Curve"... Very Rare to find this in today's songs...

5. Finally my favorite topic of "expressions" :-

The line "Thanimayile, Verumayile, "Ethanai" naaladi Ilamayile" - The _expression from SPB Anna for "Ethanai" would be showing the long wait with a gentle gasp !!!!

SPB anna would have maintained the same tempo in providing the gentle gasp again for the word "Verkindradhu" in the line "Thanneeril Nirkum podhe Verkindradhu"...

Finally, Janaki Amma would have shown her class in just 1 _expression - The line "Ragasiya Rathiri Puthagame" - The _expression for "Ragasiya" from Janaki Amma would be equating to ultimate "Secrecy"....
