Kannana Kanney is one song that can be called as ‘Chartbuster’. We see so many melody songs in a calendar year but this song was a monstrous hit amongst public which was unanimously liked by people from all walks of life. Be it a Cultural show, Music competition, College reunion, Temple festivals everywhere this song was played or sung by singers live in front of the public. There was a ‘Jeevan’ in the song and there were many factors why this song was a huge hit amongst public.
Lyricist Thamarai: I am not sure how many female lyricist we have in the industry, big thanks to Gowtham Vasudev menon for extracting her potential in all his movies. Being a female she is able to express the emotions through wordings from a female point of view ….When she wrote “Anbae…iravai ketkalaam…Vidiyal thaandiyum…Iravae neelumaa” in Kaaka Kaaka it just expressed love from girl’s point of view with so much dignity. In ‘Oru maalai’ song from Gajini her simple lines “Thoongum Azhaginai Paarthu Rasithida..Iravellam Kanvizhiththu Kidapene...” expresses a man’s love in a poetical way. One other song from Kanda Naal mudhal called ‘Pani Thuli’ her lines “Aduthathu Aduthathu Epavunnu Maamiyaru Kaekkum Munnae Ara Dozen Pethu Kodunga “ is a wonderful sarcastic take expressed in a musical way. There are so many songs where I like her lyrics a lot since I always believe she brings a different angle to the emotions portrayed in the song. In this song she has used poetry to express the bonding between a father and a child – “Alai kadalil naduve Alainthidava thaniye Padaganave unaiye parthen kanne”, [in centre of a wavy ocean father feels he saw child as the boat to save him]“Puthai manalil veezhunthu Puthainthadave irunthen Koorunagayai yerinthe Meettaai ennai” [when about to be buried after falling on a quick stand a small smile from the child saved me]. So Thamarai is one of the main reason for the song to be such a sensation.
Imman Composer: Music director Imman is doing a good job in Music industry, he not just delivers hit albums but also finds new talents and encouraging lot of youngsters. I think he is also very good at heart which is translating into success. I always believe some things can happen only through blessings – just imagine Actor Vadivelu who was not acting in films, not active in politics, not giving any interviews but still every single Tamizhan across the globe cannot pass a single day without his memes. How in the world “Pray for Nesamani” became viral and talk of the town when Actor Vadivelu was nowhere in the scene? Some things happen just like that …Music drector Imman focuses on melodies and if you see his films there would be more melody songs and he has given number of melodies in the recent past and his music complemented the beautiful lyrics Thamarai wrote for this song.
Sid Sriram: He can be termed as new kid in the block …infact new NRI kid in the block …There was his concert in Trichy which I couldn’t go and was taken by surprise seeing the reception he got from youth. Sometimes all we need to make things work is to inject some freshness into our efforts and I believe that is what Music director Imman has done – he has roped Sid Sriram and felt he would be perfect match for Ajith who is the one singing the song in the film. That conviction of choosing a singer envisioning something in your mind must be applauded. Now that song is a sensation everyone may feel Sid Sriram was ideal for the song but only Music director would sense something beforehand. Especially the piece when he sings “Aaraariraaroo Raaroo raaroo aaraariraaroo” is too good and Sid play a big role for the song to be hit.
Other factors: I loved the way song was picturized – father allowing child to play in rain, father enjoying kid performing in school, father buying ice cream are all so naturally taken. Song was able to reach masses due to Thala factor, sentimental values in the movie, Box office success of the movie all played a minor role in how the song turned out to be. In many parties where old albums are reminisced they have this song in the background since the song just compliments so well and the song is a testimony for Human bonding towards one another.
