Greetings. I’m not going to praise about the known songs which everyone of us might have praised at least 100 times at various instances in life.

Tailors road (5)

Recently, I read that the Chennai streets, which were named after historic British officials, will be changed to Tamil scholars’ names and one such street name is Taylor road. Though I know it’s not tailors road, I have my own thoughts, calling the street name as Tailors road. ஏன்னா.. இருபத்தஞ்சு வருஷத்துக்கு முன்னாடி.. [ ஆரம்பிச்சிட்டாண்டா :) […]

Though we have multiple genres of cinema, we also sometimes need “no nonsense” cinema without violence, vulgarity, big star cast, unnecessary hype [ mainly Sun pictures :) ] etc., The last “no nonsense” movie was Pasanga in Tamil cinema. The simple purpose of a movie should be engaging the audience and of course, entertaining. This movie does. […]

2 Songs - 2 Thoughts Song 1 – Thought 1 [ Scene 1 Take 1 maadiri ille ?! ] I have heard about film songs expressing a particular situation, a flashback or even summarizing the entire story. Have you heard of a song summarizing a common man’s life ? When celebrities write their autobiography, they can write […]

A true traveller never knows his destination and a true cinema fan doesn’t return from theatre without tickets. [ Pixmonk Philosophy :) ]. I watched this movie on the first day ! If you can differentiate between Aayirathil oruvan and Magadheera, Pictures of C.Kondaiah Raju [ Calendar artist ! ] and MFHussain, that’s the key. A creator […]

Manivannan asks in one of the films, about what happens to the lovers after they cross the river / bridge or the state. [ The irony is that he wrote “Alaigall oyvathillai” ]. Alaipyuthey has exposed the other side of the coin — post marriage session. Let me begin from the title. Maniratnam [ Sir […]

This is not the effort of listing the best of IR — it needs a bigger community to collect and share about the entire good numbers from IR. Rather, I would like to share the songs which I liked and didn’t hear much in the Thiraiganam or in FM channels. I have categorised these […]

Dheera.. Magadheera There are only 2 categories of cinema — Good and Bad. Every small story is told or written for somebody else to listen or read. One interesting genre of films, is a grand fantasy based movies and the visuals they offer are memorable for lifetime. I can bet that those who have seen these […]

1. Para para Kili Film : Rettasuzhi Singers : Rahul Nambiar, Deepa mariam MD : Karthikraja Lyrics : Pazhanibharathi It’s long time since I heard KR’s music — a talented and wasted [ due to his ego, I understand ] music director of Tamil ndustry. Good songs catch your attention when you hear it at […]

Receive with simplicity everything that happens to you — Rashi.[ French Rabbi ]. There are 2 types of personalities [ ஆரம்பிச்சிட்டாண்டா ! ]. Knowledge based and Emotions based. Sujatha explains love as the hormonal disturbance and Balakumaran as some icy matter running through the spine. Problems are always with the later typed personalities. It appears […]
