When Ouseppachan created the first tune of his life, and played it on his violin, he was 17. He never imagined at the time that director Bharathan would make him play it as background music for a film and then ask him to turn it into a song for another.
Neither could he have imagined that the same song would return, some 37 years later, in a new form and become a rage. Devadoothar paadi... is giving the kind of recognition to Ouseppachan that he did not get when the song, from the 1985 film Kathodu Kathoram, first caught the music lover’s attention.
