tamizhan enru sollada thalai nimirndhu nillada.wow not only in music, its one of the sweetest language which attracts lot of people around the world.proud to be tamizhan👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@DP-zd8fr]

believe me, it was the melody and the music that attracted them to sing this. Nobody gives a shit about the language. They would have sung it in Chinese or Mongolian if the melody was good enough.

[@jefrin]

Very proud 👏 From Tamil Nadu.
