‘Jaamu Raathiri’: Rekindled version becomes a big hit

Remember the timeless ‘Jaamu Raathiri’ from Ram Gopal Varma’s classic ‘Kshana Kshanam’?  The song still feels fresh to this day.  Sridevi’s child-like expressions in the song, and Venkatesh’s presence did magic back those days.  Musically, it’s one of MM Keeravani’s best songs ever.  Originally rendered by the legendary SP Balu and Chitra, its lyrics are by Sirivennela Seetharamasastry.  

A rekindled version of the song was released recently.  Rendered by Hemachandra, Kaala Bhairava, Manisha, Deepu, Damini, Mounima, Shruthi, Noel Sean, and Prudhvi Chandhra, it has been a big hit on YouTube.  

Programmed and mixed by Jeevan Babu, it’s a Vel Records release.
