Echoes of the Maestro – Song 100 – Laali Laali
Yaay! We are on the 100th song and I’m more than elated that I managed to come until this day. Thanks to everyone who constantly opens the emails to discover the songs along with me. Since it’s the 100th day, I want to make it a little more special by re-introducing this song. It has been one of my Childhood favorites (Of course the Tamil version) and P. Susheela Amma managed to keep that melody in both languages is laudable.
Swathi Muthyam is one of those films that was selected as the Indian Official entry for the “Best Foreign Film” Category at the 1987 Academy Awards. This movie also has the record of being remade into multiple Indian languages. All the songs from this film are top-class but this one is really close to my heart.
