Bala movies have always talked about the extremes of birth, life & death. Its his way of showing reality through motion picture.

Sethu/Nanda ends with death.
Avan Ivan closes with a death rally.
Pitha Magan opens with a brith in a graveyard.
Naan kadavul starts with a search in Kasi amoung cremating & floating bodies.
Paradesi is almost a walk on rope between birth & death, a life left hanging somewhere inbetween.

So Thaarai Thappatai is not going to be any different. The amazement is that IR supporting Bala with different shades to a common idea. Even YSR in 'Oru Aiyram Yennai' from Nandha purely merged with his father.

Indha Pongal Kari Kuruma thaan (LoL). IR bgm-ku waiting. GVP in Paradesi was good, but the visuals were eating out his score. Bala needs IR, even IR's Silience is Music.
