Can you believe it... This song was composed nearly 30 years back and even now it looks ahead of time... how visionary & timeless is Rahman's Music....
What 30 years 😳🤔😅
@@venkatesh6340 27 years
Agreed.....
Celiondion
FAV NUMBER 222 SO NOT LIKING HA HA.. ITS AWESOME
The World wasn't ready for this masterpiece in 1993!!!
Rightly said
Absolutely... much ahead of its time!! Thats the genius of Rahman Sir 🙏
I was tasted this master piece during my 6 th class. Still love it
@@Superzx.321 same here We are 90s kids 😊😊
You absoultely nailed it, mate.
If i am right, this song went down in history as the first Thamizh song ever to be featured on MTV back in the day.
AR Rahaman true time traveler.. 30 yrs back he made this still seems new
but now his songs are all dummies all thanks to the oscars, it ruined the musician in him
True
How many people think this song was decades ahead of its time?
greenoceansky 💯 %
I agree
1993 thiruda thiruda
True..
200%
Close to 30 yrs. My god. It's still matches the current music culture..... That's AR Rehman.
Rahman was only one in the world to handle those electric instruments but still it’s fresh
That's Rahman magic music
She is 40 yrs old, I know I was shocked too 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The konjam nilavu magic just doesn't go away... So fresh even today.... After decades of its release... He was decades ahead of his time as always and still is... The magic of ARR is unbeatable... Neeti has done a good job in spite of not knowing tamil looks like...
It's still ahead of time
This entire "Thiruda Thiruda" movie Songs, background score & original score deserves 7 oscars in total, not crappy "jai ho", legends are underatted by Oscar!
Absolutely! I wonder why AR Rahman doesn't project this album as much as his crappier ones
Pls include 'Newyork Nagaram' song also..
@@prakaashj5485 we can keep on adding to the list bro, each and every song thalaivar treatment ae thani, "genius", we can call him as " Musical Cyclone" too😇
@@lantherpagdi yes u r right bro,rahman sir need to include these songs in his feeds on social media,also now social media places a wider space than yester years bro, so his old gems don't have that much reach to people as we have today, this might be a reason too!
Haha....I'm not sure if this deserves Oscar but Jai ho was crap, i'm with you on that.
90s kids like me grew up listening to the legendary A R Rahman songs of that time.. Nostalgic. Anybody agree?
Neeti mohan rocks,, seriously i got d goosebumps. She sang like a hollywood song.Thnx to AR Rahman sir for giving her a chance.
No Hollywood no bollywood only kollywood
@@TechnoSan09 why are u so rude?
@@MayankSharma-sk2cp no offense dude
@@TechnoSan09 this style already existed those times. Check English bands.

Crap! Neethi add fake pronounciation rather than doing justice to song.
Same here also
1. The original track was released in 1993. 2. Anupama Krishnaswami, the original track singer, was magnificent. 3. This rendition is incredible, and this track actually tops the original with the musical arrangement and orchestration. 4. Suresh peters did the chorus in the original, and his voice was mesmerizing. 5. Neeti Mohan sang it to perfection, perhaps also added her style and charisma.
Thank you for the information, actually was searching for the original singer
Thanks for the information
Nobody noticing the lyrics goofup in this rendition?
Yes ur right. Awesome Moni🙂🙂🙂
To each their own, but no way this was better than the original. Neeti Mohan did a fab job but Anupama's effortless singing was several notches superior than Neeti Mohan's forced Shakira-esque singing. Orchestration and sound of this version pales in comparison to the grandeur of the original composition. I grew up listening to 90s ARR songs, so hard to convince me that anything can beat his 90s studio recorded versions.
We have to accept the fact that the most beutiful musics in India is composed in Tamil Industry
It's totally wrong our telugu so many music directors are very popular in india..Gantasala world famous music director .not only Tamil..every language every music director great legends
.....not even in Tamil ...but also in Indian music ...
True.. After hindi..
Tamilan vere level.... Kamala Harris APJ Abdul Kalam AR rahman All legend from tamil.... Wishes from kerala
@@Santhapurambeats904 sunder pichai CEO of Google
Picking Neeti Mohan for this song was a masterstroke. She has that X factor needed for this song
Yes...she sounds amazing live.
mm..m..hahaa
Stupid of ideology
Originally sung by Anupamma, she is a fire brand given a mike
Exactly..that attitude is additional to that fabulous voice
1, Curly hair style brown color 2, Heels 3, Fitness, 4, Standing style, 5, Voice... Wow Superb...
You missed the neat set of teeth only accentuated by the cherry red lipstick... She rocks.
@@guppy277 sorry missed
She deserves to be the diva she is Probably she deserves more
iam fan also yess she was 🤘rock
But she kills original voice Anupama
Meanwhile we Northies can only understand Chandralekha out of the whole song! Still playing it on loop! Such is the power of music, esp ARR! Beautiful rendition.
The lyrics are beautiful as well ! Look them up
😃
This movie has been dubbed into Hindi as “Chor Chor” Including the soundtrack, so you can listen to them.
@@Naturesarchives Original South version is next level....
@@rickyravani8834 I had the original audio cassette of thiruda thiruda I was 3 years old that time, my uncle used to listen in home, hindi version i heard in 2015.
It's like Neeti saying to other singers "hold my drink" back in 5 minutes of singing. I never thought somebody could sing that like anupama. Both awesome
Her voice - Fire Her Eyes- Flame That Music- Volcano!
down bad
யோவ் என்ன சிந்தனை சிறப்பு
Crap! Neethi add fake pronounciation rather than doing justice to song.
Just watch shwetha pandith
Rasiga ds...
ARR composed this song with half of the instruments (probably just his synth), technology and orchestra almost 30 years ago! That's why it's called masterpiece
Vivek Krishnan dude listen to Ilayaraja. He’s a master not ARR
vignesh bala Ilayaraja is nowhere near ARR
His music is far ahead of times...in early 90s creating such music which still feel fresh in 2020...that’s ARR for u
Sanoop K p hahah moron listen to Ilayaraja. His songs from 70s still fresh to ears.
Guys let's not compare arr with ilayaraja both are legends in their ways .. both of their composition are treat to ears even after years .. let's respect them instead comparing
Truly Oscar worthy song... Masterpiece... Timeless NEETI MOHAN take a bow u nailed it.
I was a freshman at the Univ staying at the hostel when this movie/album was released. I remember there was absolute silence in the mess hall as we all tried to digest this amazing music that was so different from the usual Illyaraja tunes that were beamed in the hall. Absolutely mesmerizing then as it does to me today!
Only A.R. Rahman can push singers to their max and show the world their true colours in all vibrancy
Have to respect all the North Indian singers singing live...without knowing the language you guys can still rock the stage.. Vera level.. Vera level..
There was a lyrics prompt screen in the far end. Yet she had a really good stage presence sing well and replicate the original! 👍🏼
@@MyUserNameWillBe sure? Noticed many singers like vijay prakash tend to forget lyrics of arrs old numbers
@@mahen6525 yes. You're correct. In fact it has happened with few others including him. I remember seeing a screen when I went there.
Live? Lol! No doubt she is a good singer. But the audio we hear in the video is not live capture
@nidhi Vv why is this need for saying that. Learn how to enjoy without derogatory please... And certainly try to appreciate others who are making the effort to learn our mother tongue in one way or another...
Love you neeti mohan ❤. What a voice variations . Neeti you are apt for 007 bond film theme songs
I can’t believe it, her voice is so strong, yet so versatile! Never heard such vocals before, and the song itself is like mind blowing ❤
I would recommend Oscar for this instead of jai oh 😉 just imagine that it was composed in 1993. Simply ARR😘 Anupama!!!
True
1993 bro
Sokka sonna thala
💯
@@Misc_useful klk
neeti mohan having great National and international voice quality
Unlimited likes for Neeti Mohan's singing. She is the most versatile singer. ❤️👍👍👍👍👍👍
This song should be the opening song of JAMES BOND movie 😉 such a force in this song.. if you agree hit like
I think the same
May be an inspiration to Golden Eye 😉
Boss. This song released 1993 golden eye released 1995.. and the cong based western simply saying James bond. Movie 🍿 u people
Hi Max
@@sahayaalexander6343 yes boss.. I say this song is an inspiration to Golden eye..😀
Neeti Mohan! What a performance! You stole the limelight. You literally teleported the Chandralekha on stage. Hats off! A.R. Rehman at its best.
Neeti Mohan just set the stage on fire 🔥🔥🔥
Best stage performance i ve ever seen. What a composition. Lives for ages.
I was believing nobody can recreate this song on stage. Here it is.. #Neetimohan proved me wrong. Such a grace. Watch out for Neeti Mohan. She is gonna go way ahead.
The best Indian stage performance ever!
wow.. she gave the right attitude to the song... the walk and the body language.. adding to that voice
We Indians especially from Tamilnadu Chennai should be proud and blessed by music guru like ARR, illayaraja, MSV , 3 legends took the music from carnatic to western. ARR is a greatest soul who is so humble. He is child of music God. This music sounds still fresh and upto date , that's why he is genius. Thx to ARR to make us proud . Love you sir . Wish you happy healthy peaceful life forever..
choosing Neeti mohan for this song a masters idea only.
She is on fire, no one can reach her temper......
Happy to
No one can do better than Neeti Mohan I love this song💓
It's best performance of a era by any lady Singer...Neeti mohan
Am from Karnataka, whenever I hear this song, I get goosebumps. Ultimate song.
This song was composed 27 years ago by our Pride Mr Ar Rehman
Sad that we sandalwood don't have music director like ARR
@@prasadraghu2008 all woods only one A R Rahman
27 Years. Still I get goosebumps every time I hear this song. Master piece from our pride ARR.
Phenomenal performance by Neethi Mohan. Her experience of singing hundreds of Tamil songs in-person in live concerts across the world has shaped up her ability into delivering top notch performances.
Why only 3 million views.. this show is 100 times better than even Hollywood pop shows..
This people doesn't know they want only romance and waste music bro because of they don't know which is music is good which bad . They won't understand
You can actually support music by not putting down others, you know that right?
I was 6 year old when I first heard this song on my mom's Sony Walkman in 1995....I was dancing and singing in and out of my mind. Now after 25 years I'm still the same mad fan of this amazingly beautiful music and lyrics... Just #ARR music for life #NeverOutdated #AlwaysUpdated
Unbelievable...Almost 30 years passed...Even present music can't compete ARR's 90s music. His music always remain fresh...
I totally agree with u ARR's 90s songs were a league of their own.
💯
Agreed
Even present ARR's music can't compete with ARR's 90s music 😂
I am Gujarati.. don't know Tamil... Still I am hypnotized with this song..... WHAT A COMPOSE... WHAT A PLAYBACK....
I cannot stop watching this song minimum 10 times continuously once start ....Neeti Mohan won my heart 💖💖💖 ..Long live Neeti Mohan with beauty and talent ....love you 👍👍
I hope Bollywood doesn’t pick up this song as the next ruin
Its already in hindi
NOPE THEY WONT. ITS TOO DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO WRAP THEIR STALE, PUNY LIL HEADS AROUND TO DO ANYTHING WITH IT :-I
@@rexxbailey2764 U r too ignorant of capabilities of others. ARR is not the only one. Listen to SPB, Yesudas or Illiya sir about their views and then decide what Hindi music is capable of.
@Suman Devi ha ha..
Yes..it is...the tune sounds like Doston se pyar kiya...Shaan...RD?
Neeti mohan is a world class performer, The way she is performing without reading the lyrics just amazing, respect Neeti. You are the heart of every Rahman's concert. Love you.
A r rahman's concerts have a screen in front of the stage at some distance which displays the lyrics to the singer on the stage.
@@minetoooo where is it? I cant see anything on stage and also Neetis eyes are towards the audience not at all over any screen.
Wow mohini,, really rocks and neeti mohan just like a James Bond track, and kudos to all the musician and esp Rehman Sir..
Vairamuthu lyrics as usual sizzles... What a man? Great Lines.... Fabulous Composing... Neeti Mohan voice just awesome...
I somtimes feel how Hollywood people can be so deaf.. songs of Roja , thiruda thiruda specifically were so out of this world n powerful.. Rahman sir should have got Oscars for it.. if they can give Oscar for jai ho,, which is pretty average wen we consider Rahman sir's music.. wat say guys???
Oscars aren't given for songs
Total consideration is for getting oscar in song,Rahman's old songs are far better than Jai Hoooo
She is performing on another level in this song. Simply mind blowing 👌
Crap! Neethi add fake pronounciation rather than doing justice to song.
@@shyam819stop hating😬
The cameramen's work in 3:40 and 5:18 is fantastic.. Hats off to the team. 👏👏
We can’t imagine this music composed in 90’s , now in 2020 also feeling freshness of music ... oh my god it’s unbelievable 👍👌👌
I wasnt expecting her to sing so well. She nailed it. Exact copy of original.
Lip sync
sorry mate !!! This is the exact one.. It is a good attempt though... kzhead.info/sun/lZFqkZmleV-DpHA/bejne.html
She sung better than the filmed one 🥰 stupendous 💐😘😇
@@arvindsamuel1744 Oh my God thank you for this! I was dozing off on this cover, so glad to see Anupama deliver fireworks live
No, its not an exact copy...the singing was different at certain places and its missing the emotional intensity and vocal power of the original artist. But Neeti did an excellent job regardless and she's a very watchable performer.
One of the greatest ever composition known to mankind.
One of the most powerful performance of Neeti Mohan Ever 🔥🔥🔥
Neeti Mohan has nailed it with her looks,style,Attitude,emotions.
Switch to 2050.. People will still be listening to this epic masterpiece of Rahman.
Yes.. a master mish-mash (read as- copy) of several western classical and pop (Michael Jackson) songs at that time. Don’t get me wrong, I like ARR’s originals, not the copies
@@vallabhaneniamith4716 just out of curiosity... From which song was this one picked?
AJ:XVI not one or two but several.. Beethoven’s and you will hear the reminisces of Michael Jackson’s- Who is it and some others too that I can’t recall at the moment
@@vallabhaneniamith4716 I'm afraid that you might have misconception. Using of same instruments doesn't mean it was copied.
Praveen Saravanan check this out- kzhead.info/sun/ZK6PZteBpol-kpE/bejne.html
Omg this song seems released today ... powerful voice neeti mohan
If a live concert is sounding so good in youtube video how good it can be for live audience my god .. They got their money back with just one song
Composed this music 26 years back. Still fresh and stands a top in the latest music #'s. Definately a music far beyond than its age. AR Rehman the God of Music for a reason. I feel so blessed to have born in the generation when AR Rehman started composing the music.
It's no doubt that Neeti Mohan is a great performer and a gifted artist. Very well sung. God bless her. However, this particular song was one of a kind, and through all these 27 years, I have never ever felt it better sung than ANUPAMA herself. Those who do not agree, please get a 320 Kbps version of the original song and listen. The vocals and instrumentation is epic. Just EPIC !
I just discovered Neeti Mohan and I am very thankful for that! She's great BUT I feel like her voice doesn't suit this song at all. Her vocals are too tender, softening the higher belts of the song and she dodged that G5 at the end with that "falsetto"😓....however she's got a great voice. Hats off to that!
Dear Oscar Committee...You will run out of Oscars if you listen to Arr's earlier compositions...
True like taaal
That's an international level performance by Neeti. ARR - you made absolutely correct choice by selecting her for this performance. Lots of love and respect for both of you.
Only a genius can arrange music like this. So many layers, all synchronised as one
Neethi Mohan. Watched her at Mixtape for many times. Wonderful singer but I never knew she could pullout this one with this much perfection. AMazed. She is just dazzling here. How she could pull the lyrics ? What is her mother tougue I wonder.
Malayalam
it's hindi !
Her singing, her voice is much above Neha Kakkar...Amazing talent..She reserved better..
Who is Neha Kakkar? Drama queen? Why comparing a true talent like neeti to fake star
@@gopinathbalakrishnan7390 I don't like her..But she has more fans..people feel she is the Best..but I feel she is overrated..
@@megha6865 She is just lucky. Even her sister is better than her.
rendition - 💯 out of 💯 presentation - 💯 out of 💯 & way beyond that !!
What a composition..!! No one in Tamilnadu imagine this song in 1993!! "I don't always play synthesizers. I play acoustic instruments with the same pleasure. I'm happy when I have unlimited choice; in order to do that, you need everything from simple acoustic sounds to electronic sounds. Sound is sound and vibration is vibration, whether from an electronic source or an acoustic instrument". - Vangelis - Greek Music Composer (Academy Award Winner)
Tamil language has some magnetic power itz attract lots awesome composed by A. R. Rahman
Wow Neeti.....❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Mind blowing singer😍😘 she can sing in various pitches which is a unique quality❤️
This song is always a magic fire!!! Listen it after 100 years and you still feel it is fresh and electrifying. #Rahman sir - God of Music!
Singing without the notes.. Appreciable 👌👌👌
They will have lyrics prompting in television before them
Sounds better than the original movie song to me❤️..
Cuz it's computerized
What a right choice by ARR sir. Neeti’s attitude is on fire. Taylor swift of India. More power to you girl.
Neeti Mohan is on Fire🔥 singing this Masterpiece live on stage...hats off girl...you did a Gr8 justice to this song...one of the bestest songs of millennium

The beauty of this song is the job of sound engineer who has done an excellent work. In a live show it's difficult to balance such huge number of musicians with quality output. Thanks to ARR for composing such an electrifying song and special thanks to sound engineer of this show again.
A humble keralite....
True that
@@sujaysowmy8837 So what
mostly probably post processed and touch ups done again in studio. That is a compliment, this is too good.
Heard this song on cassette for the first time when I was in college. I don't understand the language at all in which the song is sung... Still it remains my fav song till date... Magic of AR I guess
ohhhh,...what a mesmerizing voice......luvly Neeti Mohan..
Neeti hs killed this monster number... wowww.
