Innale mayangumbol

This song from the Movie "Anwashichu kandethiyilla" is considered one of the finest melodious songs in malayalm. M.S baburaj composed the music and Bhaskaran master wrote the Lyris, and sung by K J Yesudas. Baburaj was a Hindustani Musician from calicut. In his early years Baburaj sung many songs and he was one of the finest Harmonium player in Kerala. His parents died when he was so young. Living was not an easy task for him. No composer, either before or after, has given Malayalam cinema such refined ghazals. His melodies were cool, soft as a breeze. Most often they were accompanied by the lyrics of P. Bhaskaran and sung by his favourite singers Yesudas and S. Janaki. It is sad to say that his musical genius never got a state award for his work. He died a poor man at a hospital in Chennai in 1978.

Here is the remaining lines of the song...

Thoovanathumbikal released in the year1987 which has written and directed by the late Padmarajan. It is based on his own Novel Udakappola. It was a triangular love story. Mohan Lal played the lead role of Jayakrishnan, Sumalatha as Clara and parvathi as Radha. Apart from these three, Ashokan, Babu Namboodhiri, Sreenath, Jagathy, Sukumari etc were the co-actors. Mohanlal acted a duel personality character that of a sophisticated & an unmannered one. Padmarajan wrote a bold script that is not dealt with usually in Malayalam films.

Once Clara a girl from a poor family accidently came to Jaykrishnan’s life and they continued their relationship. After that he met with Radha, his distant relative and loved her and decided to marry her. This time Clara became a sex worker. Jayakrishnan told his love with Radha, Clara disappears from Jayakrishnan’s life for his good future. That time Jayakrishnan and Radha got closer and decided to marry.

And the end the movie Clara leaves Jayakrishnan's life forever and Radha marries Jayakrishnan.
Sreekumaran Thampi wrote the Lyrics and Perumbavoor G. Raveendranath composed two excellent songs for this movie. Venugopal and chitra sang “onnam raagam padi” song and yesudas sang “Megham poothu thudangi” song. Both were big hits. The specialty of the songs are Padmarajan had done the picturisation of the songs before it composed.

Here is the remaining part of the song…
