I guess my childhood friends introduced me to "BGM" very early (say 5th / 6th grade period or early 70's) when they narrate stories of movies that they saw recently

Personally, the powerful impact of BGM while seeing a movie was first felt while watching 'dharam-veer'. This was the only movie I saw during my 7th to 12th grade days, thanks to a self-imposed "NO" to movies. This movie happened as an exception when we went on a scout camporee to Madurai and all the mates went to minipriya theater and I had to accompany. I loved the movie those days (recently it took me many sittings to complete this cassette). The "Oh-Oh-Oh" theme music for the horse ride / death of the father character was so much liked by me that it was played in mind whenever I ran around in school afterwards

Slowly, whenever me and my cousin discussed about any movie - BGM was always part of the discussion. So, when I resumed watching movies after going to college, attention to BGM was almost automatic. moondRam piRai was among the initial ones and right from the title, it grabbed my close attention

(Also by this time the love for IR's interludes was so strongly developed and appreciation of BGM was just an extension)!
