Padikkatha Methai would be another milestone for many artist, including Sivaji Ganesan, S.V.Ranga Rao & KVMahadevan. This is a film unique in some ways. There were far too many stars-all great stars, and again there were many singers in this film. The song was another plus point for Kannadasan himself. TMS sings this song: Ullatha Cholven sonnatha Seiven Veronnum Theriyathu Ullathil Irukkum Vaarthayai maraikkum Kabadam Puriyaathu MS Rajeswary sings this solo that became the talk of both the literate and the illiterate for the analogy used. Padikkatha Methai was the affectionate name of former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, Kamaraj at that time. It was later that KarmaVeerar came to be used. In this song there is an anology that has been metaphorically composed, to justify Kamarajar’s illiteracy, of course, suiting Sivaji Ganesan too in the film. Kannadasan beautifully writes these songs.
“Padithathinaal Arivu Petror Aayiram Undu- Paadam Padikkatha Methaikalum Paarinil UNdu.”
“vaazhai Maram Padithathillai-Kani Kodukka Maranthathaa? Vaan Mugilum katrathillai-Mazhai kodukka maranthathaa? Solai Ellam katrathillai-Kani Kodukka Maranthathaa-Enrum Suthanthiramaai Padivarum Kuyilum Padam Padithathaa?
