💬 About the Film
Cobra is a psychological action thriller where Vikram plays a mathematical genius battling crime through secretive missions. A.R. Rahman’s music elevates the mystery and intensity of the storyline, making this album one of his exciting modern works.
Tamil film music in the 1970s was more than entertainment — it was emotion, philosophy, and poetry woven together. At the heart of it all stood Kannadasan, the Kavignar whose words could make listeners weep, smile, and dream — often all in one song.
The album “70’s Hits of Kannadasan (2020)” is a tribute to this legacy, compiling unforgettable Tamil songs that shaped an era of musical brilliance.
🎤 Who Is Kannadasan?
Kannadasan (1927–1981) was one of Tamil Nadu’s most celebrated lyricists and poets. His ability to blend simplicity with profound meaning made him the soul of Tamil cinema’s golden decades.
His lyrics spoke to everyone — lovers, philosophers, dreamers — and remain evergreen even in the age of digital streaming.
🎵 Why the 1970s Were Special for Tamil Music
The 1970s marked a vibrant chapter for Tamil film music, with legends like M. S. Viswanathan, K. V. Mahadevan, and a young Ilaiyaraaja revolutionizing sound and orchestration. Kannadasan’s poetry found perfect expression through these musical geniuses, resulting in songs that combined heartfelt lyrics with rich, melodic compositions.
