Some movie background on the songs...
Jai and VA Nirmala are lovers. Jai (TMS version) first sings the
song thinking about
VA Nirmala. VA Nirmala knows the song. Lakshmi is in love with Jai though he doesn't
love her. Lakshmi actually follows Jai when he sings the song and
so she also knows the song. VA Nirmala is Lakshmi's music teacher.
This version of the song:
One day Lakshmi dreams about Jai and sings (AP Komala) the first
lines of the song. VA Nirmala who comes in is surprised that
Lakshmi knows the song. But Lakshmi says she heard
the song somewhere. VA Nirmala continues to finish the song.
(In the middle of this, Lakshmi goes on a dream and so
part of PS' singing in this version is also for Lakshmi.) This version
is actually in a different tune from the TMS version. (Raga: Sahana;
If you carefully listen to this PS version, you can feel connections of the tune to some familiar Sahana-based film tunes.)
Another version: (comes
as Rare Song 349)
This third version of the song comes towards the end of the movie
when the ghost VA Nirmala sings the song. |
