What is your favorite Tamil film song?
Which is your favorite tamil song? Or rather, songs? Not just music. But music, lyrics, video, casting, choregraphy everything put together.
My list would be
1. Pachai Nirame - Alaipayuthey
2. Ennuyire - Uyire
3. Inji Idupazhagi - Devar Magan
4. Podhuvaga en manasu thangam - Murattu kaaLai
5. Saadhuryam pesadhadi - vanji koattai vaaliban (That padmini, vyjayanthimala dance in which PS Veerappa goes ‘Sabaaash Sariyaana poatti’
6. Sippi irukkudhu Muthum irukkudhu - Varumayin niRam sivappu
7. Azhaghaana Ratchasiye - Mudhalvan
8. Muna paniya mudhal mazhaiya - Nandhaa
9. Ragasiyamaai - Dum Dum Dum
10. Hey good bye nanba - Ayutha Ezhuthu
My favorite is ‘Pachai Nirame’ and there is no specific numbering for other songs. It was tough to choose just ten. There are many more favorites like ‘maalayil vedhanai’ from sethu, ‘unnai vida’ from Virumaandi, ‘Sempoove’ from siRaichaalai etc
So what are your favorite songs, that you would like to repeatedly listen, watch, hum?
P.S. In case you are planning to blog your list of favorite songs, drop in your link in the comments section

Just thought of mentioning about the song recently I saw in the movie Veyil - “Uruguthey Maruguthey..” A.R.Rahman’s nephew G.V.Prakash has done music for it. Superb!

Hey guys,
Looks like no one read the complete post! Hmm. I said “Which is your favorite tamil song? Or rather, songs? Not just music. But music, lyrics, video, casting, choregraphy everything put together.” How can some songs featured in this list, be there in well picturised songs?
Anon,
Ramya songs? As in?
Arunachalam,
Nice list. But ninnukori varanam la PC Sriram lighting poattu vilayadi irupaar. Kan literal aa koosume andha paatu paakacha
Neha,
….,
Good list and for first time I agree to something you say
:-smiley,
Kindal aa? Where was vellai pookal picturised man?
Mathangi,
Yes most of raja songs were captured well. But mike mohan totally damaged some masterpieces with his expressions!

Aggies,
You liked the iLamai enum poongatru picturisation?
1dollarsaint,
Good song!
Shiv,
Bindu,
I too like that anbulla maan vizhiye song a lot
Billa,
Thanks. I am planning to watch that movie soon!

I think kaaka kaaka had pretty good decent line-up of songs..the songs fit well with the story.. it dint look like an add-on…esp the uyirn uyire song with good music and decent choreography and the lyrics really matched with the hero’s mood & his thoughts..

My list here: http://dg-insecure-me.blogspot.com/2006/12/favourite-tamil-song-with-twist.html
on 30 Dec 2006 at 8:27 pm # Kunal
1) pachai nirame (agree..its wonderfully sung,great locales,colours,direction…brings out the mood)
2)ooh=lalala (minasara kanavu)
3) konjum mainukulle (kandukondain) - aishwarya looks so traditional and pretty in those red and green sarees..(probably the best on celluloid)
(I think kannamoocchi had great potential and started of well but the dream sequence with ash in solo ruined it)
4) aalangati (thenali)- funny!
5)Pachai Kiligal - love kamal’s dance.Shankar is so much better when he avoids those animations
Ferrari,Here is a list of those songs that had great potential but failed because of bad choreography/direction/cinematography…
1) suttum vizhi (ghajini) - great music and beat,but bad choreography..too conventional
2) athisayam (jeans) - good idea to compare ash to all the seven wonders,but when paired up with prashanth, all that magic evaporates no?
besides,she looked bad in a couple of those wigs (remember?)
3)Kannamoocchi - not bad, but no justice done to the song (reason mentioned above)
4) panivizhum - beautiful song undone by some really bad choreography.It looked like they were doing drills there!!
5) uyire (bombay) - great locale,great music..but somehow the picturization was too one dimensional..after all ,how many pained expressions can arvindswamy give?

Sundari from Dhalapathi….
Totally awesome.. lyrics, music, picturisation, concept…
