Films of Mani Ratnam

[crajkumar_be]

"Raja Rajadhi" (In spite of P.C Sir)
"Sundari Kannaal Oru Sedhi"
"Rakkamma Kayya Thattu"
All songs from Iruvar
"Kaadhal Sadugudu" (Inspired by Enigma's Return To Innocence video but superbly done nevertheless)
"Pachai Nirame"
"Chayya Chayya"
"Satrangi Re"

I heard "Kaadhal Sadugudu" was shot in reverse. What exactly does that mean

[crajkumar_be]

"Sundari kannal oru seidhi"

unseletted....maNdaiyin koNdaiyin

I like Anthimazhai Meegam (Nayagan). The pure sense of joy from the moment the nervous kid throws the colour thingy at Velu.

Yeah, mostly the "Holi" thingy (in context of Velu and Dharavi) aesthetically presented for mainstream audience.

Similarly, the "Bogi" song in case of Thalapathy.

But that's such a turn off because IMO its one of the worst songs composed by Raaja

Shot forward (duh !) and played in reverse

Notice the scene where Shalini is wearing a horrible flower on her head and swinging her hair and skirt...you will notice the movement is off.

We just see a rewound video... (are the lip movements in synch?)

Thee Thee Thithikum Theee.... Whoa!

Pirasanth muzhangaila flute vaasippaarE andha pAttu dhaanE..

j/k I like that song too. But the energy level that Rahman managed in that song was just impossibly to picturize. Enna adi !

Camera-va appadiye aerial view-la thooki andha drum beat mudiyum bodhu [2 times]...both clockwise and anticlockwise pogum...chanceless!!

You mean mArgazhi dhaan Odi pOchu or Andhi mazhai mEgam

I have to tune my level of kaNdanam accordingly

Which one, the Nayagan one? I'd agree on the Kaatukuyilu or even the Marghazhithan Oodipoochu in Talabathi.

Pattai innuoru thadavai pakkanum. Thanks PR

Not the whole song, only some small parts.
IIRC they don't bother lip-synching in some of the places

Imagine the full lup-sync in sundari neeyum
