RedditWhatsapp

It’s been 25 years since this classic film first hit our screens. Here, a special song to mark the occasion.

Song: ‘Potri Paadadi Penne’

Film: Thevar Magan

Lyrics: Vaali

Composer: Ilaiyaraaja

Singers: T.K.S Kalaivaanan, Mano, Others,

Cast: Sivaji Ganeshan, Kamal Haasan, Gautami Tadimalla, Vadivelu, and others.

If there’s one song that can capture Thevar Magan and what it stands for, it is this. A song that highlights the pride that the Thevars have, giving the listeners, a short (slightly mythical) history of the people. Composed by Ilaiyaraaja the soundtrack from Thevar Magan narrowly missed winning the National Award for best music direction.
