L. R. Eswari and J. Jayalalitha star in ‘Madras Mailu’ from the album ‘Unnai Sutrum Ulagam.’ Lyricist Vaali and composer Shankar Ganesh frame a kabaddi match as a high-speed train race. Athletic taunts dominate the competitive exchange.

Madras Mailu Lyrics Translation (from “Unnai Sutrum Ulagam”)
Jayalalitha’s character declares her mother birthed a lioness in one lyric turn. Another line vows to defeat ten opponents alone during the match. Vaali’s writing matches Shankar Ganesh’s percussive energy.
