Recommended

Naane Raja Naane Manthiri was one of those films from the 1980s which are remembered now for the simple reason that Ilayaraaja, who was perhaps at his peak and could do nothing wrong, decided to compose for the film. Vijayakanth plays a sort of anti-hero, perhaps, who wants to use his employee Radhikaa, to get at the girl he really wants, Jeevitha. However, Radhikaa herself is in love with this village idiot Vijaykanth. The music, and the lyrics for this particular song, written by Vaali, are perhaps the only redeeming bits of the film.
