ஈரவிழிக்காவியங்கள் = I have not seen this movie (never heard about it, but I got a huge collection of Raja sir songs. Will look in my collection tonight). Could you give me more info on this movie please. If you talk about IR quoting "one of THE best", then its a must watch :)

Once I got blasted for expressing the same : Enna padam title idhu, pokiri Poriki inu ... got a warning with Vijay Punch dialogues. Beleive me they repeated his dialogues to convey a message... :) Was scared to death that I have not watched this movie yet ... LoL but saw it in Telugu. I like Telugu masala - Total Crap that you fall in love with it (just like exploitation movies of the 70's and 80's) ... :).

Mani/Shankar, I accept the remarks on their titles, but they did have a style - Shankar titles are mostly "one" word (another style is it does not correspond with the movie ... LoL :))

But one director, who is considered sucessful - Gautham Vasudevan Menon - has no interest in titling his films. My view is that, all his titles are not artistic as much as he is projected to be ! latest title being "Nadusini Naigal". Remarks/views are welcome :)

A story about an "encounter" specialist is titled "Kaaka Kaaka" ?
Vinnaithandi Varuvaya : Did not see the movie !

Moon is typically associated with evening / night, even though we can at times gaze at that little faded moon on the sky during daytime. In other words, the 'day time moon' is neither paid much attention to nor celebrated by kavi's. So, some amount of curiosity is generated (much like mouna geetham, the oxymoron thingy)

OTOH, 'agni natchaththiram' is a routine summertime phenomena in TN where people spend a few weeks cursing the scorching sun, sweating etc with 100+ deg F temp.

Had he named "kaththiri veyyil", it would have at least recalled an old Thamizh term to "padiththa pAmararkaL", arousing some curiosity :-)

One of the dumbest movies (not worth discussing, Pratap Pothen lives in hut, wearing jeans, playing guitar, hoping to become a rock star someday in Chennai...need I say more about this 80's flop?).

It had this shiny title and excellent Raja score, celebrated by many of his HC fans.
To listen to the songs, please go HERE

I am "so so" convinced with your "Pagal Nilavu" explanation, but your take on Agni Natchathiram is funny !

mouna rAgam - suttufied from Bagyaraj's 'mouna geethangaL'.

nAyakan, agni * - ordinary everyday stuff, what's classic about these :confused2:

Agree on ithayakkOvil & Ayudha ezhuththu. Excellent titles :thumbsup: though I've not seen either of the movies and cannot comment on how appropriate these were...

(alai pAyudhE, borrowed from a classical song, was kind of inappropriate for the movie IMO)

If "காதலுக்கு மரியாதை" can be an aesthetic title, then the above mentioned Mani titles also.. I still consider "நாயகன்" is a poetic, classic, aesthetic title for such a story been narrated in that film. Its plain and simple.. but still feels good.

ok, IMO, nAyakan is as commonplace / ordinary a title as singam / siRuththai / thalaivan / rAjA / manthiri / vivasAyi / thozhilALi :-)

While appropriate to the movie, nothing to arouse my curiosity or alert the grey cells which some title like "K Mariyathai" definitely did to me. Obviously, opinions and choices differ and there's no rule here.

Another interesting title - T Rajendar's - "ஒருதலை ராகம்"
