Vaali wrote songs for movies in the 1960s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s and even adapted to the listening style and trend of 2010s listeners.

It amazed me when I learnt that Vaali was the brain behind the lyrics of several of my fav songs from the 90s to the 2010s.

Be it Chikku Bukku rayile from gentleman in 1993, followed by another banger mukkabla from Kaadhalan in 1994, to writing the whole album of Indian in 1996.

Manmadhan, which was a hit among the youth, also had Vaali writing thathai thathai. Also the lyricist for the OG mother anthem Neeye Neeye from M Kumaran.

The 2nd half of the decade saw more smash hits like rangola from ghajini, ellapugazhum from ATM, new york nagaram, munbe vaa from SOK, adhiradi from Sivaji etc.

Perhaps what amazed me most was how he adapted to the 2010s trend. In 2010, Valee was 79, and how the man at that age adapted his writing style to suit the trend still amazes me.

Theeratha Vilayattu Pillai title track, from a movie based on a playboy. Nangai from Engeyum Kadhal, Kalasala from Osthe, and my biggest surprise, ethirneechal adi from ethirneechal.

Working with MDs in the 60s to latest young talent Anirudh in 2013, his lyrics spanned generations and still kept himself relevant throughout the years.

Vaali is certainly my pick for greatest tamil lyricist ever.

Also starring Chetan, A Venkatesh, Bucks, abdool lee, Shelly, Sangeetha, Varshini and others

A rural Comedy Drama Film

Good fast paced Masala film with strong emotions and action blocks. Not slow at all. Emotion, sentiment and action overloaded
