You mean the song picturization would rank among MR's all time bests ??
For starters I watched it on mute (office)
Waves on waves footage, waves into crevices, sunsets, long shots of half cuddles: both standing and sitting varieties. The handclasp has been done to death..perhaps this one was 'ahead of its times back then' etc. Mohanlal's expression was impressive. But - sacrilege ahead - the hand trembling was better in 7G.

7G? Sacrilege-pA. See the clasping of hands with Raja's flute capturing the hesitation. Yuvan Shankar 10 jenmam eduthAlum match paNNa mudiyadhu, ahkkaaang
:-) Will do. But twain meetAdhu meetaadhu dhaan.Quote:

i cant vote for best picturised songs of mani - i strongly believe that most of Mani's song picturisation are the best in the industry and i'm equally amazed at all his picturisations.....let me try a hand in picking his worst:
1. September madham (one of very few least preferred thalaivar songs)
2. Fanah - Mani just couldnt match rahman
3. Tere bina (guru) - very ordinary
4. chandralekha - again rahman's work is far superior
dont have much qualms on picturisation of raaja songs under mani because i cant "feel" that much for them :lol:
Except Idhayakovil, I think there is not much to complain about Mani's picturisations for Raja. Maybe Rakkamma Kaiya thattu...and one or two songs of Pagal Nilavu.
:lol:Quote:

Shot in the terrace with individual domes lit.
Shots from all over the place, from below the floor (must be a first).
That lone white incandescent light - shot from a distance.
PC Sriram :bow:

The gunitha puruvumum lamp-girls became a trendsetter.
Shobana group dancing and the tunes mingling, Rajini and Shobana exchanging glances. Well done.
i mean andha oor kaarainga(IR fans) dhaan sollanum :) ......best picturised raaja song from Mani - hmmm, i can point out sundari from thalabadhi......i dont think mani has done more grand picturisation for rahman songs too (dont need also)......Quote:

I find Sundari kinda funny. The sappAn hairdo, ooty pasture-hills-la horse fight, fire basking,wounded Rajini slicing his thumb on a spear...all seemed very silly.
OTOH the lit temple and Shobana waiting were impressive.
