Film: Keechurallu
Music: Maestro Ilaiyaraja
Singer: Usha Uthup
Lyrics:?
She had everything that a Pop singer should not have! She wears traditional Kanjeevaram saris & she has flowers tucked in her tresses. When this Diva of Pop joined hands with Maestro, it's a win-win game for the listeners. And who said, you cannot have an 'item song' with sprinklings of Sanskrit verses?
I was searching for the video for ages, as it is still not available I tried to make my own version. The other two ladies in the saris are her sisters. Thanks to google & ushauthup.com for all the pics I used.
