Movie: Hombisilu (1978)
Music: Rajan-Nagendra
Lyrics: Geethapriya
Singers: SPB, S.Janaki
Starring: Vishnuvardhan & Aarathi
I first heard about the movie Hombisalu from friend D who is a huge Vishnuvardhan fan. Having seen that movie she elaborated the whole story, which was quite interesting. And it is based on Usha Navaratnaram's novel. They were all additional factors, which would not have made me to watch the movie but for this soulful song.
A newlywed couple had to stay away from each other due to familial obligation. The love intensified by absence and the desire to be together is beautifully expressed here. Lyrics of the songs yet again proves how a language can be used tastefully even when the subject was about physical intimacy. The cherry on top is SPB and S. Janaki's melodious, yearning voice. Last but not the least Vishnu and Aarathi's coy, timid, longing glances and expressions. It is one of those songs which touches one's heart. I could hear this song again and again constantly.
