It's been three decades since the song 'Per Vachaalum Vaikaama' was made and it has now become the latest sensation among Tamil fans, thanks to Yuvan Shankar Raja for reprising the masterpiece. The song has been trending on social media for the past few days through the movie 'Dikkiloona' starred by Santhanam and Anagha. The song has been going viral and has garnered more attention from the younger generation on a larger scale than its original version. 

The song was originally composed by Yuvan's father, musical maestro Illayaraja and was featured in the movie 'Michael Madana Kama Rajan', starred by Kamal Haasan, which was released in 1991. While the lyrics of the song was penned by Kavingar Vaali, it was sung by Malaysia Vasudevan and S Janaki. The same song has now been going rampant as it has reprised in the Dikiloona movie, in which Yuvan Shankar Raja was the music composer.

Besides the fashion of art and choreography, the song remains the same and has been winning hearts across and beyond the borders. Dikkiloona is a science-fiction romantic comedy movie written and directed by Karthik Yogi. The movie is bankrolled by Kotapadi J Rajesh under the banner of KJR Studios. It was released on 10th September on Zee5 OTT and has garnered a mixed review. While Santhanam plays the lead role with three characters, the movie stars Anagha, Shirin Kanchwala, Yogi Babu, and Arun Alexander in the important roles. Reputed cricketer Harbhajan Singh has also played a crucial role. 

While the movie didn't make up as expected, the song 'Per Vachaalum Vaikaama' has given a significant reception, giving that the song is a masterpiece and that it is reprised without any flaws. The song has garnered 12 million views and counting on YouTube in two weeks and it also has given the viewers to revisit and relish Ilaiyaraaja's musical journey and when the song has become a trendsetter, Ilaiyaraaja has revealed the secret of how the song was made in 1991 and what's the source of the lyrics. 

In a video that he released on Tuesday, Ilaiyaraaja has revealed that he has taken the tone for the song 'Per Vachaalum Vaikaama' from a classic Tamil language text 'Thirukkural', written by Thiruvalluvar. When Kavingar Vaali asked him how to write the lyrics for his tone, Ilaiyaraaja said that Thiruvallur had already written this tone in a couplet in Thirukkural and then the song was made and now, after three decades, it has again proved why it has been a masterpiece and celebrated by the masses.
