No, I am not smitten. Nor am I a Devdas! Some cool dude has this most important question, and rediff is helping him.
Someone says
Love is two hearts with one song
Love is four eyes with one vision
Someone else says
Its a feeling of making other person comfortable…without thinking the consequences
Go post some funny responses there!
விளக்கேத்து விளக்கேத்து வெள்ளிக்கிழமை :)) இதை படிங்க
தமிழ்நாட்டு ஆண்களுக்கு மட்டும் தான் இந்த பிரச்சனையா? பெங்களூர்ல இருக்கற மண்ணின் மைந்தர்கள் கண்ண உமாச்சி குத்தாதா?
எனக்கு தெரிஞ்சு அந்த செல்வி தொடர் முடிஞ்சு போச்சு. புதுசா அந்த சித்தி ஏதாவது தொடர் ஆரம்பிச்சா தான் பிரச்சனை.
You make a post on Kaniga. Next time she appears on TV, you get atleast 2 to 3 smses from friends informing you about her programme on TV. You switch the channel to find Kanika singing a song! Life and Kanika is wonderful I say!
Does anyone know if ‘Veerasamy’ is released in Bangalore? If yes, then where? I checked with Bannerghatta zoo authorities, and they said they weren’t aware of it!
And in case you watched it, let me know how it is. I don’t want to miss this comedy movie!
Is it just me, or everyone feels Safin has put on so much weight? Match was good, but I felt Benjamin threw away the match than Safin winning it. I wish Safin starts playing better and meets Roddick in the 3rd round. That should be an exciting match.
And Sania’s match is at 05.30 AM IST tomorrow. You watching?
கடலை பருப்பே,
பெங்களூர், மடிவாளா நான்காவது குறுக்கு சந்து மொட்டை மாடியில் காத்தாடி விடும் சங்கத்தில், நாளை என்னை பேச அழைத்து உள்ளனர். அந்த பேச்சின் எழுத்து வடிவை தங்களிடம் இணையதளத்தில் பகிர்ந்து கொள்வதில் பெருமகிழ்ச்சி அடைகின்றேன்.
Maniratnam, AR Rahman, Abhishek, Aishwarya, Madhavan, Mithun da, Vidya Balan, Rajeev Menon, Shreekar Prasad. All big names. Do they deliver the goods?
Ofcourse they do! As always, this review would not contain any spoilers.This is one movie, where you can see Mani clearly in two different roles. Director and Producer. Ofcourse he has produced many movies before this, but in this movie you can clearly make out Maniratnam the producer when he doesn’t allow the director to take complete control. In a way that is also fascinating.
Kadhal Sadugudu - Song from Alaipayuthey
Did you know that this song was shot in reverse? I didn’t! I was amazed to read this in Mani’s interview where he says
Of all the famous songs of yours, which one is your favourite?
I really do not know. I am happy about a lot of songs actually (laughs). Sometimes very intimate songs are very nice. Some are nice for the bigness like Chandralekha in Thiruda Thiruda or Chayya Chayya in Dil Se.
There is one song in Kannathil Muthamittal where there are a mother and daughter in an open landscape. It has nothing other than these two characters in an absolute arid landscape, and we really enjoyed doing it.
When you break new grounds and try to do something different, it’s always a high. I remember the first time we did a whole song in slow motion with lipsync for Geetanjali. It was not prevalent at that time. We just had a method and we tried to do that. We weren’t sure whether it was going to work, but that is the kind of risk you take.
In Alai Paayuthe, we had a song shot entirely in reverse. The whole song takes place inside a flat, and as it was shot in reverse, actors had to sing the entire song backwards. They had to learn and sing it correctly.
Why did you think of shooting in reverse? Just for fun?
These are two young people inside a house. They had wanted to get married, and just tied the knot. It’s the first phase of their life and it was magical, with a floating quality. When it’s in high speed and reverse, it has this surreal quality to it. If you see the song again, you will know.
Those are the kind of things that you try. You have seen two people in love hundreds of times; unless you give a new angle to it, it’s not going to excite.
The cinematographer is one person I pull into when I think of new ideas.
Super!
