Trivia
'Adutha Veedu' features the musical composition of the veteran duo Shankar-Ganesh. Lyricist Vaali cleverly weaves regional Tamil folk terminology such as 'Kandangi Saela' (Chettinad handloom saree) and 'Kummi' (traditional Tamil folk dance performed by clapping hands) into a vibrant duet rhythm.
