About the song

edit

"Nenjukkul Peidhidum" kicks off in a mellow fashion with the strings of a guitar,[2] some humming and an almost casual rendering by Hariharan, Devan and V Prasanna. The guitar work seems to be patterned on country music, the kind you hear from John Denver and others. After a long time, there is a variation in the tune and Thamarai's lyrics add to the effect.[1] A short guitar interlude reminds you a bit of Eric Clapton but it merges into another melody.[citation needed]

Music video

edit

The song takes place after Suriya's (Suriya) first meet with Meghna (Sameera Reddy) in a train,[3] where Suriya recognizes his love at first sight and he recognizes this as a heart-warming moment in his life, and Suriya also understands now that how his father Krishnan has proposed his love to his mother Malini. The music video combines different visual diagrams: the realist guitar, the snow filled railway track, a rainy evening in a train, an unplugged show of Suriya, a small dream of Suriya where he meets Meghna in a park, and he takes her to his house, the India Gate, Mumbai Taj Hotel, a Sun Flower Railway Station, Taj Mahal, a wooden house, Egmore Junction and Anna Nagar Tower Park.
