I had been to chennai and I came across this nice song..my cousin had it on the mobile. I never knew that there was sucha film and such a song existed.

Kanda naal mudhal was the movie in which this song was composed.
The song was kanda naal mudhalai….a nice song on how one falls in love with the lord.

Shri Guruguha – Shuddha Saveri

One very small and nice song is Shri guruguha.
you can listen to Aruna Sairam sing this song at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dv2thJg3Loo

But there seems to be a lot of debate on if this is composed in raagam Devakriya or Shuddha Saveri. What I know is Devakriya is the same raagam as Shuddha Saveri…it is the name given for the same raagam in the Dikishitar mela system.
