It is from the film Kandukondein kandukondein , tamil remake of sense and sensibility. It was directed by Manirathnam and it also stars Ash. Lyrically this song while having the poetic words of Vairamuthu with nice descriptions about sandalwood scented breeze it is basically the guy asking the girl 'what answer are you going to give me regarding my love for you'. What makes it stand out for me is the music of ARR.
I do not know the specific songs SPB, Yesudas and Chitra won or who the music director was or if it was even Illayararaja sir. But the fact that they won and they so frequently collaborate with him makes me think music plays a big part in selecting a NA winner too.
ARR won the national award for Roja, his first movie. While not related, I do think music also plays a part, not just lyrics in selecting the NA winner.
