![]() ![]() The movie focuses more on the actors than the story, feeling extremely disconnected at several moments. Its a waste of acting skills of amazing actors lthat Vijay Sethupathi and Faasil are. Set in Folky environment, with only guitar strumming as the backbone for the whole song, bass guitar providing the necessary drone, sung by a solo lead singer (Raaja in this case) and Solo wind instruments providing the side act (Flute in this case and typically Harmonica) and above all downright SIMPLE and elegant.So I'm probably in the minority. But the specialty here is - the kind of original genre to which this song fits. I mean we have songs like "Naan porandhu Vandhu" (Maaya Bazaar) with no rhythm instruments and only voices. Why don't you listen to it once more and take a note of the peculiarity. (I think you lost yourself and didn't pay attention. Not even symbols or a metronome on the full count. With no percussion instruments whatsoever. THIS IS THE FIRST AND ONLY INSTANCE IN A RAAJA SONG WHERE A FULL LENGTH SONG WITH A REGULAR METER IS COMPLETELY BACKED BY GUITAR STRUMMING ALONE FOR RHYTHM + BASS GUITAR. My cluttered memory never remembered the Stanzas and I had long resigned to the fact that I will never listen that song again in my life, Until I came across the video here.Īs I hear this song after all these years, something astonishing strikes me in face. I don't know Konkani, which is my best guess of the language in which the song is based.)īut heart ultimately depends on the head and it could only remember so much. and those intermittent chatter of fishermen (Signaling the dusk and returning home perhaps. To this date, I remember the tune of that pallavi. Its one of those that didn't go to my head but to a place a feet lower to the left. Unlike Saleem Gous, it was an experience I carried with me for ever for reasons I know. A Rustic folky tune that transformed me that day from a remote corner of Southern Tamil Nadu to the Konkan Coast. !!?) Its another trash memory if not for what follows. Kamal is chased down, Shot and gets drowned in the sea (Falls from a cliff I think. Other memory that I carried forward from this movie was its opening sequence. Mind is a strange thing that somehow remembers a lot of trash. When Jinda asks Stephen Raj to join his gang, Stephen mocks him that he is fit enough to play, only with the Toy guns meant for kids that can be purchased from 'Funskool'. Name of Kamal as an under cover agent penetrating his network was "Stephen Raj". I still remember his real name as 'Saleem Gous'. ![]() The villian played by the character called 'Jinda' was a new face. ![]() There are many things I remember of that movie. I saw the movie Vetrivizha in my secondary school days. ![]()
