The combination of Ilaiyaraaja's orchestration, which blends classical Carnatic music (the ragas Kalyani and Kosalam) with Western symphonic elements, gives it a timeless, ethereal quality. This deep emotional resonance is precisely why the instrumental pieces of this song, especially the flute interludes, make for such powerful ringtones.

Some versions focus on the faster, rhythmic flute portions of the song, which make for a lively, upbeat ringtone.
