A R Rahman's best picturised songs

According to me, the following are the best picturised songs of A R Rahman in Hindi and Tamil Movies:

1. Alaipayuthey - Pachai Nirame

Great locales, costume, lovely bonding between Madhavan & Shalini. First rank goes to this song.

2. Minsara kanavu - Vennilave Vinnilave

Kajol ignites the romance in the second part of the song. Lovely picturisation in lines of Singing in the Rain.

3. Dil Se - Chayya Chayya

Moving train, crane shots, tunnel lighting.... imaginative picturisation of this song is just refusing to go away from the mind.

4. Kadhalan - Kadhalikkum pennin kaigal

Cool and casual theme executed perfectly by Prabhu Deva.

5. Thiruda Thiruda - Chandralekha

Aah.... Egmore Museum never look so beautiful. Great Lighting indeed.

6. Kadhal Desam - Mustafa Mustafa

Another casual picturisation by director, friendship demonstrated in a normal way without any exaggeration.

7. Sivaji - Vaaji Vaaji

What a lovely, towering set. Dwarfs add color to Shreya's glamour. I especially liked the thavidu podi imagination.

8. Taal - Aag Lage

Supposed to be a Filmfare picturisation. Nice dancing. Wrapping of Aish in the long cloth was wonderful !

9. Rangeela - Tanha Tanha

Nice inviting dance by Urmila but just short of sexy mode.

10. Lagaan - Orey Chori

I prefer this song to radha song of this movie. Love is in the air was nicely brought out.

11. Roja - Chinna chinna aasai

Nature's back drop with mischievous happenings on the ground. Lovely.

12. Bombay - Uyire Uyire

Rain, Kasarkod fort backdrop was too good for this song. Anchor & Manisha scene was beautifully symbolic.

13. Jodhaa Akbar - Kwaja Kwaja

Heavenly atmosphere, simple imagination, lighting makes this song wonderful to watch.

14. Rang De Basanti - Khalbali

Bonding of friends was energitically brought up in an unusual way.

15. Ratchagan - Kayyil Midhakkum

Computer graphics aided emoticons was bit imaginative.

16. Jeans - Kannodu kanbathellam

Imaginative picturisation of this carnatic tune was damn good. The positioning of this song in the story made people to burst out laughing.

17. Padayappa - Suthi Suthi vantheega

Tastefully decorated art work in the background made this song memorable.

18. Kannathil Muthamittal - Nenjil

Simran version of this song in the beaches makes one wonder about depth of relationship.

19. Boys - Girl Friend

Usage of cartoonic girl was little friendly than human as it is about "looking out". Imaginative lyrics, peppy tune all makes song interesting.

20. Kadhalar Dhinam - Dandiya aatamum aada

Such a huge group of dancers assembled in a floor, neatly co-ordinated dance arrangement.

21. Mudhalvan - Aazhagana Ratchasiye

Too garish i admit but attractive scare crows, colorful dolls make it for it.

What u say?

Life is Escapism

Human Being is so wonderful
Wants Entertainment in everything

Freaks out with Cinemas, music, dance
Intoxicates in Alcohol, Drugs
Chase Money and Sex
Redeem with Books, Lectures
Indulge in costly clothes, perfumes
Show it off in Luxury Cars
Immerse in Bose sound system

Look good in Character Building Courses
Look good in Social appointments
Look good in parties
Look good in kids school

Cant spare Rs.50 to known beggar
But can lose lakhs in stocks
Where is the end to this escapism?

Obama - 44th US President

Congrats Barack Obama !

Your promise for change is rewarded. Trust you will fulfill to bring the change.

Asia needs a stronger USA as we are still not no where prepared to lead the world for another 3-5 years.

Time for work buddy.... Get on with work !

Also thank the Hilary Clinton for the committed campaign to vote for Obama like a true soldier of Democratic Party.

Rajinikanth meets fans, answers questions

Aah.... What a clarity I got after this meeting !!!

I am relieved and I am quite sure that Rajini will not join politics; He got good vaidhaa with his next movie for next two years.

God came in Moopanaar avatar long time back and Rajini screwed it big time.

My only confusion at this point is, how god is going to come and tell him about his next move - What avatar god would take next?

Hamilton - F1 Champion

I couldnt see the final race Live. But looks like it was worth every penny.

Lewis Hamilton demonstrated his good spirit, hunger for victory, desire to hang on for title.... But his aggression on the track needs to be controlled a bit.

Hard luck Massa.... better luck next time ! Your attitude is too good and you will make it shortly.

Kumble's retirement

Mind of an Actor

Mind of an Actor - This little poen was inspired by Live Telecast thru Sun TV on Tamil Actor's Fasting about Sri Lankan Tamil Cause held on 1st Nov 2008 at T.Nagar - Chennai

I can act, I can dance
I can cry, I can romance
I can put on weight, I can lost weight at my will
I can fake a smile, fake relationship for a hit movie
Oh Yeah... I can fast too

I can speak, I can cry in public
I can create serious comedy in public
I can woo a politican
I can do a catwalk
oh yeah.... I am ready to go prison too

Presentability is my life
Publicity is my breathe
Visibility is my motto
Acceptability is the benefit i reap
Oh dear.... but make sure that your pan cake doesnt melt in open air !!!
