Naanthaandi Un Purushan from the 1983 film Kal Vadiyum Pookkal is a joyful folk-style romantic track written by Vaali and composed by Shyam. Sung with signature warmth and energy by Malaysia Vasudevan, the song depicts a husband playfully coaxing his newlywed bride out of her shyness on their romantic evening. He reminds her of their meeting by the riverbank, their wedding procession, and paints a sweet picture of their future together as a family, complete with children and lullabies.
