Aararai Kodi epidemic
Listened to the latest sensation “Aarrarai Kodi” by ARR in “Ah Aah” and it deserves every keystroke that has gone into praising it in blogosphere.
Its been a long time since we listened to something like this.
New sound, trademark ARR interludes, his inimitable voice. Irresistible…
But it remains to be seen how this number gets picturised.
I was so addicted to that “Hey Hey Enna achu unakku” in “Kadhal Virus” and could not wait to see the song. Man what a hep number it was and then i saw the song picturisation. That idiot Kadhir should have been hanged.
I dont know how many felt suicidal on seeing the song but i sure felt like killing that moron.
Girls were walking left and right all through the song and thats about it.
A free sound loop from Flashkit.com would have been enough to run in the background.
I dont know why that Saavugraaki needed an ARR tune for that.
For some reason, a song’s success has a strong association to the way its being picturised. I guess each person has a different idea about how his favorite tune is getting filmed. Once that disappoints, we just ignore that whole thing as one bad dream.
I think we love the early 80’s songs of IR precisely bcos we dont remember the picturisation of the song. so we just happily go by the tune. See the picturisation and i bet most of the songs will suck big time.
Some like Moondram Pirai(BM’s amazing cinematography) are timeless though.
Talking about picturisation, there is one person who has been simply brilliant and has consistently exceeded audience expectations.
A bespectacled 40-ish recluse from Alwarpet who did his MBA from Jamnalal, he has been inspired by ARR’s splendid tunes and ARR in turn has given his best for him.
What a combo!
Now dont dare ask me who that is.

i don’t care about the picturisation as I don’t intend to watch a S J Suryah movie. the songs are bound to be a hit. there is too much techno and voice distortion that one can’t hear the actual lyrics clearly.

cool…I donno what I shud do….watch it first or hear it first…I guess songs prefer hearing alone as most of the modern days song portrayal sucks. I hated “Boys” especially.

they picture it badly sometimes, thats a very liberal word!!
have you seen the song Poove Sembpoove
