Indi paattu - 1

The last song to hit it with me from this movie - I'm not a big soga paatu listener - but Sonu Nigam and the unusual orchestration made this the default song I remember if I hear DCH.

P.S: Close second is Kaisi Hai Yeh Ruth and Jaane Kyon.

Best Romantic Numbers in Tamizh Cinema

Mush day here once more. Archies makes a killing as do florists who can even sell arugumpull to some ilichavaayan. Last year, I listed out some romantic movies, ranted and riled and also a tale with a twist.This time around, came up with this list of my favorite romantic songs - in some songs, the picturization is good. In some the lyrics are good. In some both are awesome. Feel free to suggest more and I shall add them.

For those who are yet to "propose",




For those young starstruck lovey-doveys



Ditto



For those of you who are married, I can hear you groan when you see the guy getting married so many times :P



Awesome Lyrics



Perhaps an idea for a date?



One of my Favs



Good picturization plus lyrics.









This list is pretty contemporary - I have missed out lots of classics - but then, this mush day is for teens and twenty somethings, not 30 plus and 40 plus kizhavaals.

Tam Video

I think this video was circulated about an year ago... Just saw it today in youtube when I was looking for old lollu sabha episodes.

For those of you who like L-S, you click here, here and here.

One for you, me and everybody

A superb effort from ARR



I'm wedded to google - that's why google video instead of youtube!



Rahman's take on the effort:


Google videos didn't have this video on it - so courtesy youtube!


I really loved this song and the video and ARR's reason for making it different - instead of showing India or some other third world country, the production team has shown America, where with great wealth lies great hatred and intolerance. The lyrics (by Blaaze) does strike a chord and for me, one line sums it all up:

"Are you looking for a reason,
to be kind......."

Recently, in the place I'm interning for this summer, there was a "help the community" kind of event for which there was a 50-50 raffles draw, meaning all people pool in a certain amount, X out of which half goes to one lucky winner and the other half goes to charity. I was taken aback with such an arrangement, which was basically trying to turn charity into some form of lucky draw.

This song is definitely needed in these dark times!

A Nice Video
