post ARR hits
dil se
chaiya chaiya
urvasi urvasi
chikku bukku raile
enna solla pogirai
uppu karuvadu - a real country ass song
azhagana ratchasiye
pachai nirame
This has been part of my Daler Mehndi playlist for years.
One time a coworker from India made fun of me for how I pronounced Daler Mehndiās name, and he was right to do so.
chaiyya chaiyya is such a banger it became a regular part of my road trip mixtapes
loved this song in raavanan!!
also reposting poovukkul bc i found it in hd
kadhalikum pennin - i forget the context of this movie but what a great music video
jiya jale - bilingual classic, preity zinta is so beautiful
ae ajnabi
anbe anbe kollathe
aaromale - a western country song
kannalane - banger rhythms in the intro
oh maria - most early internet 90s vibes ever
and of course have to have some songs from Ponniyin Selvan. Both Chola Chola and Ponni Nadhi are absolute bangers, he really went off with these, instant classics
oh and lagaan songs. Chale Chalo = banger of bangers, Ghanan Ghanan might be my actual favorite song tho
was on Instagram and got reminded about Taal Se Taal Milaā¦ thought āthat must be Rahmanā and ofc it is. this manās output is staggering
raavanan
this movie looks beautiful I gotta watch this. nice violin interlude
oh hereās a live performanceā¦ maybe lipsynced idk
hello mr ethirkatchi ā woke up with this one stuck in my head, itās funky
remembered one of these as i was about to go to bed and the other one naturally followed - two examples of the fascination 90ās india had with western aesthetics, and the music reflects it as well, also itās a bop obviously
mukkala mukkabala
romeo attam pottal (this one looks desynced which is annoying but whatever)
just watched ponniyin selvan 2
I looked up the lyrics of this and itās astounding how many words the lyricists fit into this basic rhyme scheme. and all that in what is essentially period 10th century Middle Tamil (which to give context, even schoolchildren in Tamil Nadu today are familiar with Middle Tamil, hell I grew up memorizing 9th century Pandya hymns). But nevertheless a massive achievement, to have wordplay and nuances of pronunciation of this level.
Rhyming for example āveeraā (brave one, warrior) with āveezhaā (veezh being the root for āfallā, -a being the suffix of negation, hence āveezhaā = he who does not fall = invincible )
Or ānadukal serkkum veeraā meaning āwarrior who amasses hero stonesā
Itās a shame, I could cover this whole movie but especially the song lyrics in translators notes about why the Tamil used is so good, but it would take all month
reading about the filmās production, this song sequence was choreographed by a famous contemporary dancer i think (the article is in reference to the hindi version of the film raavan but they were filmed concurrently)
Urvasi Urvasi is my fukken jam. Iāve always been a little disappointed in that it appears to be a one-off in that Iāve never found another Tamil/Indian song that has as much of what feels to me like an electro element.
yeah this record is absurdly good
saw today that they have uyire (tamil dub of dil seā¦) on usa netflix
this comes on my youtube autoplay a lot i havent seen this movie great song tho
rlly like this album
