This melody by M L Vasanthakumari was quite popular in our
household. Used to hearing this song quite often, my mother surprised me one
day by saying that Gemini Ganesh was the villain in the movie. That was quite
unheard of as the Gemini Ganesan I knew then was THE romantic hero! Another
surprise was that R.S. Manohar was the hero! Later, thanks to the telecast of
all the old movies sometime or the other in Doordarshan I had the chance to
watch this movie also. The film wasn't so impressive, but of course
the lovely rendering of the song Konjum puraave by MLV was the best in the
movie. This song was written by Udumalai Narayana Kavi and music by Nagaiah and
Ramarao.
I could not get a video of this song, here is the audio on youtube with details about the movie

Really enjoyed your posts. Please continue the posts about old Tamil songs.
