Album: Azhagiya Tamil Magan

Song: Ella Pugazhum

Music director: A R Rahman

Singer(s): A R Rahman

The King is back; actually he never left. Sivaji was on the charts the last time. Now that Sivaji has moved down the King is back at the top. Tough to pick out one song from the album but then we decided to start with the one which we presume will introduce the `Azhagiya Thamizh Magan' to the fans. All elements of the song are just outstanding. The rhythm can get you going, the rendition has the touch of inspiration and everything you can ask for from a boy wonder turned genius. After enjoying all these listen to the song once more and this time pay attention to the lyrics. Boy… if there was ever a time to be a Vijay fan, this is it. It's his best chance to lure in more of the urban youth thanks to Rahman.
