adhu enna 1976? nalLAvE Odichunu dhAn kELvi. That aside, i protest against "1970sla indha padamlAm OdichA" type sendiments(although irir might not have intended it that way). 1970s makkaL were far more discerning than today's audience.
Revisited some segments of MMKR yesterday..
The scene where Crazy venkatesh and ponnambalam follow madhan and then get diverted to follow Kaameshwaran - Kamal and crazy in full form is a given.
But a close scrutiny of music opens up a revelation!!
While the "madhan follow" scene is in progress - the music is all jazz and brass - cool..
Then Kaameshwaran crosses path - small shift in the BGM as the followers contemplate- then they begin following kaameshwaran - now the music is all funky carnatic - flute violin and mridhangam full flow - ending in the signal - the "closing theermaanam" - is a carnatic delight with morsing joining in...
It appears as if Kamal and Raaja had a script level discussion on how this scene is going to be edited - but it is not the case - Raaja simply scored for the completed and edited scene and it came out extempore - Just like that and that is pure genius all abound - from Kamal writing it, crazy dialoguing it up and Raaja completing it.. Immense delight.
Apparently, a democracy is a place where numerous elections are held at great cost without issues and with interchangeable candidates.

A few months back I watched MMKR.
For all my protestations about BGM I found myself 'remembering' and expecting and humming pieces in MMKR, before they appeared!
A irukkE!
