Without AR music, 90s kids like us couldn't enjoyed the life...what a music and soul...long live AR

[@VaitheeswaranR]

i am just thinking about How ARR has unknowingly played a key role in shaping my life

[@Bibinstalks]

ARR ഇനി പാട്ടുകൾ ചെയ്തില്ലെങ്കിലും സങ്കടമില്ല . ഒരായുസ്സിലേക്ക് കേൾക്കാനും ആസ്വദിക്കാനും വേണ്ട പാട്ടുകൾ അങ്ങ് ചെയ്തു വച്ചിട്ടുണ്ട്. നമ്മുടെയൊക്കെ കുട്ടിക്കാലത്തെ സമ്പന്നാക്കിയ അനശ്വര മനോഹര ഗാനങ്ങൾ❤

[@SingerSithara]

Happy birthday sir ❤

Beautiful rendering and improvisation. Last 2 songs, minute flaws in pronounciation. But all together, it is surreal. Thank you Project Malabaricus! 😊

[@sumanthnagabushan1063]

Brilliant tribute, band and lead voice! Illustrates how ARRs raw tunes are complex and scale/range-challenging even when most of his rich orchestral elements are stripped down. An unparalleled genius and generational musician who is simply visiting earth for us lucky muggles.

Soul stirring music! Wonderful singer! Great band! Amazing smiles from all :) Thank you. Thillana thilana gave me goosebumps!

[@sumathidevarajan9070]

Amazing tribute ❤! Thank you 🎉 Happy birthday to an amazing soul!

[@gabrielkennethpillay3532]

KENNY PILLAY SOUTH AFRICA OMG OMG OMW 0MW This is mind-blowing music What an incredible medley to pay tribute to Sir. Every musician is in a class of his own. The bridge over to the next song was seamlessly done. Sister Singer, OMG, you have to be reclassified in a voice type of your own. And this is my point, the greatest voices are not on those manipulated reality shows. My child, I could listen to you all day and night, the most unpretentious voice ever. You sounded like yourself and never once tried to emulate or mimic the original artist. You took ownership of the song, made it your own. Guys, all in all , yourll are SOUTH INDIAN NUGGETS Wish I could speak to you guys Vanakkam

[@dpkpraba]

Simply Wow. Especially that Manamadura Than thane, Thillana mid lines, then Ishq bina and Varadha nadhikarai humming , I was totally Mesmerized. Awesome singing and the guitarist guys superb. Great project and Still one of the Best Tribute for ARR.

You always have that ‘Eeram’ in your voice which directly hits the heart ❤️.

[@reubenstephen]

Love the expressions given by Sithara to Oo La La and Thillana especially. For Ishq Bina, it is difficult to better the original texture by Sujatha :D

[@nikhilspeaking]

The great KS Chitra was perhaps not the best fit for oo la la.
