Background

The track was recorded during late-April and early-May 2019 in overseas. [2] Singer Dhee recorded the track, in his first collaboration with Prakash Kumar, though it was revealed to be a "funky" number. [2] During the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown in India in late-April 2020, Prakash interacted with fans through social media, further revealing the track's title and the lyricist Snehan working on it. [3] It was revealed to be a "slow-paced energetic dance track" which was "fun and interesting". [4] On 19 July 2020, it was revealed that the track will be released on the occasion of Suriya's birthday (23 July 2020) with a promo song being released on that date. [5] The audio single and lyrical video were released through streaming and video platforms respectively. [6] [7]

Reception

Manoj Kumar R. of The Indian Express called "Kaattu Payale" as a "folkish romantic song which is instantly likeable" and praised Suriya and Aparna's chemistry as "unmissable". [8] Khushboo Ratda of Pinkvilla further called it as a "perfect musical and visual delight" and the "euphonic tune is sure to give you the chills". [9] Vipin Nair of Music Aloud stated "Composer (GV Prakash) gets Dhee to deliver the more upbeat Kaattu Payale, and once again the choice of singer is perfect for the kind of song it is (quite suits Aparna Balamurali's onscreen persona as well, truth be told). Very imaginative melody from GVP here, playing smartly with the pacing of the words, the occasional switchover to a darker flavour et al. [at all]." [10] Karthik Srinivasan of Milliblog wrote in his weekly review, saying "In what seems like a song meant for Vaikom Vijayalakshmi, GVP hands over to Santhosh Narayanan-camp's Dhee! She does really well, though, and GVP's choice of tune-twist for ‘Mundhiyila Sorugi Vecha Sillaraya Pola’ makes the song really interesting!" [11]
