This is one of the excellent Carnatic-Classical based song of the early 1990s from Ilaiyaraaja. As many IR fans are fans of Veena too, I wanted it to set the stage on an auspicious note. More than the usual spiritual gift the Veena interludes bring with them, watch out for the extreme romance imbued in it as well. But, the best part is, Raaja would have given equal importance to (1) Veena, (2) Flute, and (3) Group Violins in this amazing sequence.

Answer: Movie: உன்னை வாழ்த்தி பாடுகிறேன் (Unnai Vaazhthi Paadugiren) and the song is ஒரு ராகம் தராத வீணை (Oru Raagam Tharaadha Veenai). It was such a mesmerizing melody in 1992. This movie also had 3 other fantastic hits. Witness K.J. Yesudoss and S. Janaki joining Ilaiyaraaja’s magic here: ஒரு ராகம் தராத வீணை
Kudos to @NChokkan, @Parivel, and @Rmdeva for getting this right.

Oru raagam from unnai vaazhthi paadugiren
Kudos! You are right. @NChokkan also got the answer right.
It is only my guess that this fantastic song wasn’t noticed at the time it was released, due to various reasons. That was the time, when the sudden sensation was all about “Roja”. That was also the time, when LP discs were going out of fashion that many record companies did not want to produce them anymore. CDs were becoming more prominent, but, alas, affordability was very limited. I remember asking the price for an Ilaiyaraaja movie CD, released by Eknaath Company at that time and it was a whopping Rs. 450 to Rs. 500 (~ $15 at the prevailing exchange rate then). It was clearly out of reach for many. So, even CDs were not released in greater numbers for movies (including Ilaiyaraaja’s) at that time. Due to the sudden departure from LPs, even All India Radio (AIR) stations were paralyzed with their databases not updated during this critical period of 1988-1995. Many rare songs of that time did not make it immediately into AIR and for all practical purposes, went out of prominence until much later.
This is probably, just my personal take, but, you can easily relate to it, given the fact, not many songs during that critical early 1990 period got much prominence like the other songs of the 1980s did, because, of the shift from LP medium to CD medium.
Today, we all have CDs in our car, homes, and not to mention about the numerous FM stations, none of which existed then.
ஒரு ராகம் தராத வீணை, நல்ல காதல் கொண்டாடும் பெண்மை. இந்த மண்ணில் ஏதடி, பதில் கூறு கண்மணி. 🙂
@Parivel and @NChokkan had left their comments in Soundcloud. @NChokkan was the first to give the correct answer. Great going, all of you, including RmDeva, who posted the answer here
Thanks and have a great weekend.
