Echoes of the Maestro

Echoes of the Maestro – Song 32 – Pootukkal Potaalum

I’ve been rewatching some of the old Captain Vijayakanth movies for my Podcast and man what a ride. It’s like a Tamil saying “Oru Kallula Rendu Maanga” which allows me to revisit some of my childhood favorites and use them for the Newsletter and my Podcast.

Chatriyan is that landmark Tamil film that changed the Police Genre entirely and allowed us to peek into Vijayakanth in a Mani Ratnam film. Eventhough Maniratnam didn’t direct the film, we can easily identify it has Mani Sir’s touch with the staging, Lighting, and Camera work. Even though Maalayil Yaaro Manadhodu is a delightful and popular song even now, I’m not sure about Pootukkal Potaalum. However, I remember enjoying this song because of the fun visuals and energetic S. Janaki amma’s vocals. If you haven’t revisited this song it is time now you do 😀
