Enrenrum Punnagai!

8 Replies

Click here to watch the trailer of Alaipayuthey featuring this song! This was the last trailer which was released for Alaipayuthey. And it was also the only trailer which was telecast on TV for quite a long time after the movie got released. I still remember how it used to be telecast at a specific time everyday and I used to watch it too. Just look at how an entire bunch of happy & colourful scenes from the movie has been chosen for this song, matching the mood of the song having apt lines like ‘enRenRum punnagai, muDivillaa punnagai’! Brings a punnagai to your face too, doesn’t it? 🙂 Brick red, cement gray and the red and pink of Madhavan’s and Shalini’s costumes in the closing scene make such a beautiful colour combination on screen! I remember the trailer ending with Bru coffee being pouring into a green coffee mug with a voiceover in the background saying, ‘enRenRum punnagai. BruvuDan punnagai’.

P.S.: I could find only that low resolution video of this trailer.

I can’t believe that it has been almost 10 years since the movie got released! The movie, as most of you might know, got released on April 14th, 2000. 10 long years and I still can’t have enough of it! 🙂 And I still can’t have enough of writing about it either. It would be highly unfair if I don’t celebrate my decade long passion for the movie that is so very special to me. Today, I leave you with one of my favourite stills from the movie. But, starting from tomorrow, more posts will follow. Dedicating the whole of April to Alaipayuthey! 🙂

Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa

If you are looking forward to reading yet another review that is going to rave about this movie, then go ahead and skip reading this post.

Stunning locations & the vibrant colours of Trisha’s lovely costumes captured beautifully on camera and, of course, the songs and the background music are all I liked in Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa. I just loved the BGM parts that had Aaromale and Hosanna.

VTV Unplugged

12 Replies

Did you watch the Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa audio launch that was telecast on TV yesterday? Weren’t the unplugged version of all the songs as awesome (at times even more?) as the original songs? 🙂 It was a pleasure seeing everyone on stage performing with so much passion. How I wish the unplugged versions too get released! Talking about VTV songs, I am hooked big-time to Hosanna, Omana Penne & Aaoromale. I have listened to other songs only a few times since I don’t seem to have enough time for these 3 songs itself! Rahman is amazing as always!

Blue, Passage, Sanjay’s concert

7 Replies

What more can I ask for? I am finally listening to the ‘Blue’ songs now. The songs are all excellent!! 🙂 I will try to write an elaborate post on it later. For now, I am happy getting lost in the magic of Rahman’s music. I listened to the tracks from ‘Passage’ yesterday and liked those too. I went for a Sanjay’s concert in the evening. Nattakurunji alapana & Begada were the highlights of this concert. I managed to read a book too today – Sudha Murty’s ‘How I Taught My Grandmother to Read & Other Stories’. Today has been a very satisfying day! 🙂

P.S.: There seems to be some problem with my blog. 🙁 Your comments will have to wait till it gets resolved. 🙁

ARR Unplugged

4 Replies

Inspite of knowing that ARR’s unplugged concert was going to be telecast on DD last Sunday, I totally forgot about it and realized that I had forgotten to watch it only when I saw the messages in the group the next day! 🙁 I finally found the time to watch the videos today and I just loved it! 🙂 There should be more performances like this!

I switched on the computer planning to just check my mail and maybe read a few blogposts and then go to sleep early. But the result of watching the videos was that all I wanted to do was to just listen to his songs.

Dheemi Dheemi, Rang De Basanti, July Madham, If You Wanna Come Along, Puttham Pudhu Bhoomi, Spirit of Unity concert theme, Hey Goodbye Nanba, Andha Arabic, Aayo Re Sakhi, Veerapandi Kottayile, Like an Eagle, Chayya Chayya, Latika’s Theme, Muppadhu Nimidam, Mayya Mayya, Barso Re and the list goes on! I want to listen to all this and more right now, even while I am busy copying song after song of ARR to my mp3 player!

P.S: Writing this post has made me reminisce about how this blog was a couple of years back – when almost every alternate post of mine was on ARR’s music and the frequency of posts in this blog itself was much better than what it is now!
