A refreshing song today, pleasing to the ears as well as eyes. From "Chennai Express" (2013), the number is a splendid mix of modern and traditional in terms of its lyrics and visuals. It has been shot in the modern style, consisting of a collage of lovely frames. But the frames in turn are made of very traditional scenes showing a temple, a village, and women performing exquisite Bharatnatyam steps in the lush green hills.
Similarly the lyrics in Hindi are contemporary, while the lyrics in Tamil are in praise of Lord Vishnu written by Thiruppan Azhwar, an ancient saint poet born in 2760 BCE. Sisters Charulatha Mani and Madhumitha Mani have lent their voices for these verses. Even if you are not familiar with the language, so powerful are the words and their rendition that you can feel the divinity in them!
Singers: Chinmayi, Gopi Sunder
Lyrics: Amitabh Bhattacharya
Music: Vishal Shekhar
