Are they playing 80's/early 90's school students?

Could be. But you do know that Surya played a late 80's student in VA?

[kid-glove]

In saying that, I mean I wouldn't be surprised to see Jeeva and Samantha standing in for real life Gautham and his early love interest. Isn't he a 80's boy?

Also, one could be forgiven for saying it has that 'feel'. It's quite possible that GM asked Raaja to get that feel, but Raaja does have a lot of fun here, which makes it seem quite ageless on subsequent listening.

But few new ids seem to show up mysteriously to plainly undermine/dismiss it as dated.

The "Tharunam Tharunam" sudden in-flush (overfilling the sandham, as someone pointed out, and someone wondered if it was poor lyric writing in action) in Vaanam mella:

Non-Family_Friendly Message follows - pls read at discretion. White fontla pOduREn. yArum thittAdhIngOv


"Tharunam Tharunam" creates a feeling as if someone is plucking a guitar, if you see what I mean.

Thanks a lot Aravind. Brings back lot of school memories. KaNNu light'A kalangidichu. Vaanam mella sounds terrific on screen. Superb visuals, can't wait to see the movie. Sam looks gorgeous.

The Choir portion in the prelude definitely revives many school memories and vividly paints my primary school's playground in my mind. I expressed this straight away when I heard this number. http://www.mayyam.com/talk/showthrea...l=1#post943870

So maybe GVM had some intention behind keeping it as BGM in this setting. However, this song equally demands a lavish picturisation otherwise I feel it may hinder the approach of this song compared to the rest of the numbers after the movie's release. Any clips or idea of how other songs have been shot? We have come to know EVV is shot on the bus (?)

GVM has overlaid the song with dialogues (looking at the Vaanam Mella song), thereby taking away the amazing interludes.. Why can't they pause.. and then play I hope the rest of the songs are not given the same treatment!

Atlast soaking up in the Lost Paradise of Raja's divine rhythms and tunes!.

I need to point out one thing (I would still say that Raja is the greatest of tamil kalaingnars)..Raja has neglected the importance of lyrics, poetic words and such, for the songs in this album. That is one standing out jarring note in this..

"irubathu nilavukaL nagam engum oLi vidum...hey hey..iLamaiyin kanavukaL vizhiyOram sudar vidum......" - the lyrics enhanced and beautified Raja's music earlier...he needs to add that Magic again.

You dont need a vairamuthu to do that...there are enough great lyricists around..the problem seems to be - Raja's conviction to avoid poetic lyrics.

Ramya NSK's short interview in which she speaks about her experience working with IR on NEPV. Apparently, including the two songs from this album, she has recorded 9 songs with him. Interesting!

+1 for Geno point.
