Some songs & their locations just get stuck to your mind & heart the moment you see them and no matter how many years pass by, they just sit in that corner of your brain. And when you see that location again at some point, the song comes back to your mind just instantaneously. This location & song is one such. The song April MayilEy from the movie Idhayam was such a big hit back in the mid 90s that this location where the song was shot also stuck to us. So, when we saw this location being used in another Telugu song, we recalled the Idhayam song and decided to do a post on the same.

About the location (from here):
Christ the King Church (better known as the Loyola College Church) was designed by an Indian architect named S.A. Gnanaprakasam Pillai and construction was completed in 1933.The church is located at the centre of the Loyola College campus in Chennai. Because of its Gothic style architecture – the pointed arches, the ribbed vaults, rose windows, three-aisle naves and the flying buttresses it stands out from the other churches in Chennai. The spire of the building reaches to an incredible height of 157 feet from the ground. The church building occupies an area of 9,000 sq ft, with the length and breadth 150 ft & 60 ft respectively.
