Sakunthalai (MS & GNB) is playing in "Jaya Movies" Now

[sankark]

Thats all.

[ganeshkant]

Yes.I also saw the movie and enjoyed every bit of it.What a natural way of narration and acting!

Today if you have to make this film who may fit into the lead roles to the likes of GNB and MS ?

It is very difficult but I have a pair in mind.

[mahavishnu]

Pray tell, Ganeshkant.

[vasanthakokilam]

This thread is making me think!!

TMK and AS?

[ganeshkant]

TMK and AS?

You made me laugh heartily for a few mins.O.K,I give it to you.Your guess is partly correct.

[sankark]

ganeshkant, Believe the TMK half is the correct one. Perhaps "mArgazhi rAgam" duo (TMK & BJ)?

[CommonMan]

Here is an innovation: TMK and TMK (dual role) .....why not?

[thathwamasi]

haha... My guess is AS and TMK too. AS playing Dushyanthan and TMK playing Shakunthalai

[vasanthakokilam]

sankark, I am thinking the same thing..

[mahavishnu]

haha, thathwamasi.
If I were Dushyanthan, I would lose all memory of Sakuntalai and vice versa

[rshankar]

Right, and no ring will remind me either.....

[mahavishnu]

Ravi, I have always wondered about this material-specific retrograde amnesia. Probably due to large hippocampal/mid-temporal lobe lesion.

Jest aside, the duet by GNB/MSS "manamOhanAnga" is simply wonderful. Just the thing you want to hear if you suffer from memory loss. Here's a sample: http://soundcloud.com/ramesh-balasubram ... mohanaanga

I just love the line, namadhAvalE niraivEra Andavan thiruvarul seivenO.

[rshankar]

Ramesh, that is a favorite part of the song for me.
There are a few songs that serve to describe the evolution of the perception of love as portrayed in tamizh movies...
The examples of songs that recommend restraint -
This one has a few:
nenjam iraNDum nirai anbAlE onru kalandAl taDai yEn mAdE
dharmam anrE
kAdalum poyyO
(nAn) tandai AdhInam
mAsillA namadAvalE niraivEra ANDavan tiruvaruL SeivanO

One from kalyANa parisu that goes:
karuttai arindum nANam yEnO
porumai izhandiDalAmO perum puraTSiyil iraNgiDalAmO
nAn karungal silaiyO kAdal enakkilaiyO varambu mIrudal muraiyO

And here is one that favors abandon -
Not sure of the movie:
paTTu pUccigaL vaTTamaDittAl kaTTi aNaikkum pUccaNDu
kaTTu kAvalai mIri naDakkum kAdal vAzhiya pallANDu

[mahavishnu]

Ravi, brilliant
That is almost the entire history of romantic tamizh cinema in one post

Just curious. Were the lyrics in the GNB/MSS duet penned by Papanasam Sivan?

[rshankar]

You must have noticed that I have left the 'soup and breadsticks' generation alone!
I assume Sri PS composed the lyrics...Cienu may know.
