Echoes of the Maestro – Song 37 – Katta Pulla Kutta pulla
This song is featured in Bairavi, directed by M. Baskar. If you’ve heard Themmangu Songs, then I think we can also add this song to the list. If you Google “Themmangu Songs”, most of them are from the late 80s or completely in the 90s, but this one came out in the late 70s.
This song is about a man expressing his love for a woman, and the woman expressing her love for the man, almost like a conversation in song format. They both share how much they miss each other, what their presence does to them, and more. The lyricist plays the most important role in this song, and Ilaiyaraaja, as usual, brilliantly supports the lyrics, rather than overtaking them.
