A crucial part of the "exclusive" conversation is copyright. The composition (lyrics and melody) of Tamil film songs is owned by the music label (e.g., Think Music, Sony, Divo). Distributing or selling MIDI files of copyrighted songs without a license is illegal in India (under the Copyright Act, 1957).
Safe Usage:
Load the MIDI into a DAW and mute the right-hand melody. Play along with the left-hand chords and bass. Exclusive MIDIs allow you to slow down complex runs (like Ilaiyaraaja’s counterpoints) without changing pitch.
