Raja's Gems - the latest one you heard...Part 3

[kiru]

Like I posted in the SPB-IR thread, the pAdal varikaL are funny. For the lip-sync biz (dubbed from Malayalam), the pAdalAsiriyar would have retained a lot of words and it sounds almost like a Malayalam song.

That apart, there was one line which stunned me this morning and I was laughing without control :

மன்னவன் விரல்கள் பல்லவன் உளியோ?

Why are you laughing ? I thought it was pretty creative. I dont mind the malayalam flavor and I think the malayalam source is what elevates the lyrics. Our lyricists would not have done a better job ( Na. Muthukumar has done great in NEPV though)

As for me, I was listening to TIS on the train commute. NEPV is a very light dose of this for the younger generation.
We need a 'silappadhikaram' based movie for another grand music by IR. Sri Rama Jeyam could also have been more symphonic. Period authenticity can be thrown out the window.
