This put Rahman on the throne of Tamil cinema music, the cassette sales of Kadhalan created an all time record. It was as if the trend of buying original audio was being revived by a single album. Kadhalan had everything in it, the fast ‘Urvasi’ and ‘Muqabla’, the fun ‘Kadhalin Sangeethame’, the folksy ‘Gopala Gopala’, the mellifluous ‘Ennavale’ (which introduced Unnikrishnan and also got him the National Award) and the first indigenous rap ‘Petta rap’. Amazing variety!
