Sheshadri + wife's taped conversation, what was revealed?


After Vikram shoots Sheshadri, Sheshadri listens to the tape of his (now deceased) wife talking with him. Near the end of this conversation the film treats a portion of this taped dialogue as really noteworthy because the camera zooms in and there's some tense music. What is it in that conversation that was so important?

The director doesn't imply anything mysterious in that scene.Vikram was shocked or terrified for a moment when he hears sheshadri's voice.He killed sheshadri a minute ago and when he was about to get the hell outta there hears his voice ("Hei,Thairo!,come here"!...)It was really spooky as if sheshadri has come back to life or his ghost is talking.Then the camera in a POV(Point of view) shot searching near the dead body to find the source of this spooky voice and it stops and focus on the tape recorder and zooms in.The main protagonist is not a cold calculating murderer,he killed sheshadri at the spur of the moment.He witnessed a minute ago sheshadri switching on the tape recorder,but he was too busy cleaning up the crime scene and was completely tensed that he forgot for an instant the voice was just a taped one.A good scene.I thoroughly enjoyed the movie.Brilliantly filmed by Shriram Raghavan.Most of the bollywood movies suck!,but this one's a real gem among them.
