Lyrics of Vizhi Moodi from Ayan

Lyrics of Vizhi Moodi from Ayan
English meaning of Vizhi Moodi from Ayan herewith:

Pallavi

Vizhi moodi yosithaal angeyum vandhaai munne munne
Thaniyaaga pesidum santhosam thanthaai penne penne
Adi idhu pol mazhai kaalam en vaazhvil varuma?
Mazhai kiliye mazhai kiliyae un kannai kandene
Vizhi vazhiye Vizhi vazhiye naan ennai kandene
Senthene

you are there when i close my eyes and think
i derived happiness by talking to myself
will rainy season like this wud come again in my life?
oh rainy parrot, rainy parrot, i saw your eyes
i could see myself through your eyes
sweet honey

Vizhi moodi (full repeat)

Charanam 1

Kadalai pesidum vaarthaigal yaavum thuliyai thuliyai kuraiyum
Mounam pesidum baashaigal mattum purinthudume
Thaanai endhan kaalgal irandum unthan thisaiyil nadakkum
dhooram neram kaalam ellam suringidume
Indha kaadhal vandhu vittal, nam dhegam mithanthidume
Vinnodum mugiloodum villaiyaadi thirinthudume

i reduced my talking to few words from ocean of words
i started to understand the sound of silence
i walk automatically to your side
distance, duration, time all shrinking
our body floats in air when love enters
and plays with sky and clouds

Vizhi moodi...

Charanam 2

Aasai ennum thoondil mul thaan meenai nenjai izhukkum
Matti konda pin marupadi maddida manam thudikkum
Suttrum bhoomi ennai vittu thaniyai sutri parakkum
Nindral nadanthaal nenjil yedho pudhu mayakkam
Idhu maaya valai allava, pudhu mona nilai allava
Udai maarum Nadai maarum oru baaram ennai pidikkum

desire plays like fishing rod to catch the heart
you heart beat to get caught again
rotating earth moves away from me
you feel intoxicated in heart when you stand, walk
this is a magical net, and a new position of heart
attire changes, walk changes but you grow bit more weight in mind

Vizhi moodi...

Movie Review of Slum Dog Millionaire

Movie Review of Slum Dog Millionaire

Story of rags to riches; Engaging Movie with bit of slow start; Wonderful direction by Danny Boyle... He gets it amazingly right - lovely casting; his preference for modern music instead of western classical for background score; effective use of the slum background; action scenes vs dialogue scenes mix;

Plus points:

a. 20 minutes of Jamal winning the KBC show;
b. Rahman's brilliant score
c. city of god type screen play - oscillates between past & present;
d. Well shot movie considering the crowded locales

Minus points:

a. Masala movie
b. Does not give you positive feeling when you walk out of cinemas
c. Joins countless movies which end with railway station climax

Final conclusion:

Surprising to notice 10 Oscar nominations for this movie. May be, the hollywood folks are tired of their adventures (batman types, saviour of the world stories) and looking out.

Some debates are going on whether this movie is a poverty porn, portrays India in poor light etc... My take: You folks should have made all the noise when most of yash raj movies were made in US, UK but speaks Hindi, wears skimpy, transparant clothes etc but preaches Indian tradition ! If that cant be bad, this cant be also bad ! If that is not fake, neither Slum Dog is fake !

Just go out and enjoy western interpretation of Indian life.

Movie Review of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Movie Review of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Some basic facts - this is not a mystery or action movie; around 155m in duration;

Benjamin is the principal character of the movie - born old and ages backward toward childhood; so an epic story spans over some 70 years of life of a human (so an epic) which any of experience on daily basis. It has got love, action and loads of emotions! One can say, it is similar to Forest Gump type of movie.

Brad Pitt's real face comes alive around 106th minute !

Over all a brilliant movie - you end up liking the movie due to effective action of Pitt and Cate Blanchett. The narrative style of the movie is innovative - example the accident scene; Some small episodes of the movie is portrayed brilliantly - like return of Benjamin Sr; lady in red; natural words in greeting cards;

Dont miss this movie if you love emotions !!!

By the way, this movie is nominated for 13 Oscars... All the very best.
