About my Blog

But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain

Pesugiren

Vasanth is one of the mature directors in tamil cinema. Although his story telling has been very simple and sweet since his first movie "Keladi Kanmani" then 'Aasai', 'Rhythm', it is also amazing that his music sense is amazing.

Every movie of his whether rocked the box office or not, atleast the songs did. Ever Nerukku Ner (which i personally believe was the worse film he made) had awesome songs.




This song in Saththam Podaade is different. Usually heroine oriented songs have hundreds of girls dancing around her and the hero, irritating with thumkas and jhatkas. In real life we dont dance around the trees and certainly the rest of the lot certainly dont join us.

The song is melodious with the saxophone filling it so beautifully with minimum orchestration. And yeah, Padmapriya looks very elegant :-)

Vasanth has once remarked that he changes Cinematographers & MDs for each film to give the freshness in his films. And "Pesukiren" is sung by new singer - I think one from Viba girls (The song has a longing for her crush & I could "feel" that when I hear the song!) And yes! I also felt she is beautiful but Srini & Pradhap says she is so manly!!
And BTW, if you are still not aware, I am in Japan for a liaison of 3 months - So I am ஜப்பானில் வெங்கட்ரமணன்! (Usage Courtesy: Pradhap)

Regards
Maaps!
