In what now seems like a very rare occurrence, ARR had two releases in the same month- Kadhalar Dhinam and Sangamam. Enna Vilai Azhage was the best piece of the lot. Oh Maria was a internet generation piece (pretty amusing to look back at it now). The movie was pretty bad by any standard but a couple of songs stuck around in the cassette recorders in the hostel for a while. The big release for July was ARR’s compositions for Kadhir’s Kadhalar Dhinam.

While the movie went nowhere, there was one standout song that was very hummable – Manase Manase. June did not have very many releases – Vijay had a movie with Isha Koppikar called Nenjinile. But there was always time for music – be it while celebrating someone getting a job or waiting hopefully for the interview call after the written test or getting over that day’s dejection and preparing for the next day’s written test in the morning. Campus interviews kicked in instantly and the focus was all on that. A job was the first thing in mind from the first day of college.

Without further ado, here are the songs that made it big in the 1999-2000 time frame.Īfter a Spring loaded with big hits, we entered our final year of college, hopeful of a job, an admit to a good university abroad and a ton of fun with friends- one last time. The PSG Tech alumni event, M4M is fully sold out and features the singing talents from over the years at Tech. With less than 24 hours to go for the largest alumni gathering of PSG Tech outside India, we are down to the final post in this series- the songs that made an impact during my final year in college.
