Echoes of the Maestro – Song 53 – Maapilaikku Maaman Manasu
Netrikkan had 3 Legends of this day joining forces and making a movie. K. Balachandar, produced and wrote the Screenplay of this movie, while Visu wrote the Story and was directed by S.P. Muthuraman. Unlike other films back then where the son was often portrayed rouge, this film had the tables turned and the father is the bad guy. People often quote Rajnikanth’s Aarilirundhu Arubadhu Varai, Mullum Malarum, and a few other movies for his acting prowess but this film had Rajnikanth in his peak acting chops.
Maapilaikku Maaman manasu is a fun song that has the Carnatic and Western fusion very evident and the lyrics are a banger, for the viewers the song is about the heroine teasing and telling the world about her Father-in-law and for the characters in the film many don’t know and Kannadasan as always brilliant with his lyrics.
