Film Songs and sequences that would make good Music Videos

Topic started by Srinath (@ socks14d.raleigh.ibm.com) on Fri Jul 17 16:13:54 EDT 1998.

I was just wondering about the usefulness of songs in movies and felt that in most cases the picturisation did not complement the songs. However, there appear to be some song sequences which stand apart by their depiction of the song in progress. Most of these would have songs in the background, I guess. But their might also be some where the hero and heroine singing makes sense to the movie and the lyrics. Care to help me build a comprehensive list ?

  Udhaya:
  
  You missed out Mahendran's Pootadha Pootukkal, the song Aanandham Aanandham nee thanthadhu had a brilliant instrumental piece starting the song ( probably on a synthesiser) and the visual was waves crashing against rocks.
  
  Another all time great song is Maraindhirundhu Paarkum marmam enna from Thillana Mohanambal, excellent song, beautiful dance and great direction.

  Udhaya: Johnny had an asiriri song?
  
  
• From: Chandramouli (@ alpxy3.att.com) on: Fri Jul 24 15:53:52 EDT 1998
  
  Ravi: The song Udhaya mentioned from Johny is "Senorita I love u". These songs that are classified as "asiriri" songs are those in which the protoganists do not sing but are shown doing something else and the mood is brought by the songs in the background.

  Not all the songs here would make it into my collection. But I listed them anyway, because there might be others who might like them. With this list in hand you can go ahead and pick out your preferences and create your own collection. I plan to do that on my next trip to India.
  
  Meanwhile, can somebody tell me if we
  can record on DVDs ust as we do on CD-Rs ? That is, are there recordable DVDs ?
  
  Udhaya: I am not aware of all the songs from Metti, Nandu, Nenjathai Killathae, Uthirippookkal, Azhagiya Kannae, etc. Could you please list them when you find time ? TIA !

  Shankar:
  I've seen Paruvame. Do the others have equaly good (or better) videos ?
  
  
• From: Udhaya (@ 205.218.142.217) on: Mon Jul 27 20:13:44 EDT 1998
  
  Srinath, "Paruvamae" is probably the happiest of the bunch. The rest are somber to an extent. It all depends on what you consider a good video. I like them because they are free of TFM song sequence cliches like: rattling bushes when the lovers are making out, or where the woman makes out like she's a shy 12 year old and the man chases her around trying to manhandle her.

  This thread has 80+ songs which I would love to see as well as listen to. Since my next trip to India is due in the next few months, I was thinking of arranging these songs in order and getting as many recorded as possible when I am in India. Can you guys come up with the different orders that I could record these in ?
  
  Since, I feel 'period' will be a major criteria, I would greatly appreciate it if you could give me the year (+/- 2) in which each song came out. My idea of an ordering would be Theme -> Mood -> Period. That is a theme like love or marraige or parenthood or personal emotion, sub-sorted by the mood (happy, sad, contemplating) in which the theme has been displayed, sub-sorted by the period ('66-'70, '71-'75, '76-'80, etc). Of course, it goes without saying that if anyone has anymore songs to add too, I would only be delighted !

  Thanks for this revival, Srinath. I just went back and reread the old responses. Where are most of these people? I miss the quality of their contributions.
  
  I will definitely spend some time here soon as I find some.

  Udhaya:
  I too find it tough to believe that these people could just stop coming to the DF :-( I mean, all of us have our bad times in the DF, and every so often there is a topic going on that we shun. But leaving the DF all together was a bit tragic ! For one, I do know that Kanchana and NOV are still somewhere around, probably in the Hub. But I would love to see them pick up from where they left off and raise the standards of the DF. Bharat is another DFer that I miss, especially because he was the first DFer that I crossed swords with (and no that wasn't a fight but a very mature and level-headed argument from Bharat that gave me some very important pointers on DFfing !).
  
  If even three or four of these DF stalwarts make a reappearance in the DF, I would be so happy !

  Here are some thoughts:
  
  1. Raja Kaiya Vacha - Aboorva SagodharargaL (Choreographed dance)
  2. Puththam Pudhu Boomi Vendum - Thiruda (2)
  3. avaL oru navarasa naadagam - USV
  4. oru naaL pOdhuma - thiruviLaiyaadal (note baalaiyaa's lip synch & expression)
  5. kamban Emaandhaan - (black & white)
  6. minnal oru kOdi endhan - VIP (Simran, do you want any more reason?)
  7. aayiraththil naan oruvan - iruvar and compare to No. 8(both singing and acting)
  8. pudhiya vaanam pudhiya boomi - AnbEy vaa
