Ennavale Adi Ennavale Lyrics Translated

Back to more recent times. I remember this and another song's effects and graphics very well from when I watched the movie Kadhalan. Patta Rap, Mukkala Mukkabala and other songs from this movie also became very popular but this must be the most melodious of the collection. AR Rahman must've had a lot of fun trying out different styles.
