Paruvamazhai (1978) shares the same musical core as Madanolsavam, later adapted again into Hindi as Dil ka Saathi Dil. Although all six songs exist in the film, only four were released on record. The remaining tracks surfaced years later through a rare VHS recording obtained from Malaysia.

Notes & Background

The musical lineage of Paruvamazhai traces back to Madanolsavam, one of Salil Chowdhury’s most loved Malayalam scores. The Tamil soundtrack preserves the lush orchestration and emotional depth of the originals.

While complete Malayalam and Hindi releases are available, only four of the six Tamil tracks were released in record format. The remaining two were discovered through a rare VHS tape sourced from Malaysia, revealing the full richness of the score.

With Kannadasan’s poetic lyrics and the captivating voices of K. J. Yesudas and S. Janaki, the soundtrack remains a beloved, though somewhat rare, gem among Salil admirers.
