Maayakannadi - Good intention and worth watching

Cheran is known for this realistic screen play and he had done it again in maayakannadi. This time he had choosen a city based story and portrayed himself as a romantic youth, It doesn't suit him well though. Illayaraja has done decent job in songs and background score. BGM used when cheran ponders on hopping job and imagiations running over his mind deserves credit. Although songs sound repetitious, its pleasing to listen. Song Konjam Konjam is elegantly picturised depicting how mobile utilized by today's lovers coupled with apposite lyrics by Pa.Vijay

Watch out commendable message conveyed through radha ravi in the movie.



Let me conclude with meaty lyrics of the song kaasu kaiyil written by kavingar Muthulingam.
yegapatta aasaiyudan pattanathai thedi
siragai virithu vinnil parakka
palar vanthu pogiraar...
aasai patta aththunayum maari veedum poothu
allal adainthu ullam udainthu
silar nonthu pogiraar...
vazhkkai enpathu payanam poonrathu
valaivum thiruppamum vazhiyai martruthu
bhuththi ullavan thappi pilaikiraan
chikki kondavan thigaithu nirkiraan,
pattu pattu padichavanthan
martravaruku paadam aagiraan....
yeppadiyum vazhkaiyile vetri pera yenni
yentha thozhilum seyya ninainthu
sila ullam alaiyuthu...
aayirathil ondru mattum yenniyathu poola
vetri padiyai yetti pidiththu
kodi naatti selludhu...
kanavu kaanave palarum solgiraar
kanavu mattume illaighar kaangiraar,
thiramai eendriyee kaanavu kaanpavan
kaanal neerile neerukku alaibavan,
aasai koru yellai vachchu
arivukku vellai kodu da....

Mozhi - Bouquet of Joy, Love , Humour and Emotion

After seeing rave reviews for mozhi, I was waiting for this movie to be released in tampa. It was fantastic. I can't pick if is it dialogue, screen play, acting, lyrics or music is best in the movie. All are superb. Dialogue writer viji has got good sense of humour. I liked his dialogues in Azhaghiya Theeye, Pooniyin Selvan, Ethiri. He proved again in Mozhi. Its long time since I had such a laughter while watching movie. Vairamuthu's lyrics embellishes the movie. All songs mould perfectly with situation. Here goes lyrics of the songs with my favourite lines in bold.

Prithivi sees Jo bashing a man who whaps his wife in the middle of the road and he falls in love for her. Dreamings of a musician and audacity of Jo are well portrayed in first song

sevvanam selai katti chendrathu veethiyile
manam ninrathu paathiyile,
ennai kondrathu parvaiyile,
minsara minnal vetti ponathu saalaiyile,
kanal moondathu kankalile,
uyir veguthu nenjinile,
yaaro aval yaaro solvaarillai,
neril kandu pesa neramillai..
kannil vandhu poonal kaiyil illai..oohoohoo, oohooho.
sevvanam...

yaaro aval mangamallin vaalai kaiyil vaangi vanthavalo..

yaaro aval kannakiyin peththi yendru mannil vanthavalo..
subramanya bharathiyin sortrai thindru vanthavalo..
chandhiranum sooriyanum koodi petra pennivalo..
kallula malligaiyo... mullula thamaraiyo...
soodaana sundhariyoooooo..computer kartravalo...
karathe kartravalo...kavipaadum devathaiya..
yaarenum kettu sollungale...oohoohoo, oohooho...
sevvanam...

paarthal aval perai kettu, perin pinnal yen perinaipen...
keettal aval pechchukellam mettu katti padal isaipen...

avvai shonna tamilaiyum ange enge thottu vaipen...
aishvaryavin kadhalaiyun
akku akkukai bittu vaipen
sollale sokka vaipen...jokale sikka vaipen...
sollaamal thottu vaipen...vekkangal killi vaipen...anandam alli vaipen...

i love you solla vaipen...kannodu kankalapene...oohoohoo, oohooho...
sevvanam...

Fortuitously, Prithivi finds Jo is same appartment as he lives and his exicitement evinced in this song


en jannalil therivadhu nilavu dhaana
naan saalayil tholaithadhu ivaLai dhaana
naan kaNdadhum kaaNbadhumkanavu dhaana
en kadavuLin mugavari edhiril dhaana
vaanil pOna peN pura maegam sendru theindhadhu
veetil vandhu paarththadhum
thOtta pullai meyindhadhu
veedhi pakkam pOnadhu vidhiyae kondu saerthadhu
kadaisi thagaval solludhu kaadhal ondru pookudhu
en jannalil therivadhu nilavu dhaana
naan saalayil tholaithadhu ivaLai dhaana

Privithi soon learns that Jo is deaf and dump, but his love only strengthens and is conveyed in cute lines

Aazha kannal tamil sonnaale...jaadai kondu bashai sonnaale...
Naavil mattum oonam yendrale...haiyyoohoo...

Mounmam ondrum oonam alla alla...vazhkai yellam mulumai alla alla...
aval mugame poothum mozhi solla solla...aa..aaa..aaa...

Wonderful lyrics of Kaartrin mozhi conveys motif of the movie. Its very well picturised in movie, depicting prithivi,jo,prakash,swarnamalya enjoying the life, Jo slowly starts realizing music and prithivi gets more familiar with sign language.

Jo becomes furious when Prithivi tells that he imagines a voice for her.
Privithi conjures to forgive him. SPB rocks in this song..

Kannal pesum penne ennai mannippaya…

Kannal pesum penne...


Jo explains she doesn't have knowledge of any language,
but no one can understand her language..it is silence, then comes beautiful song

Mounamae unnidam…andha mounamdhanae azhagu…

Paarvaigal pothumae.. adhil varthai pesi pazhagu…
Mounamae unnidam…andha mounamdhanae azhagu…
Paarvaigal pothumae.. adhil varthai pesi pazhagu…
Sollimudikkum oor sollin vattathil..
Palar solli pona oru …porul irukkum
Sollaik kadantha pennin mouna koottukkul
Pala kodi kodi…porul koodi irukkum…

Last sympathetic song when Jo rejects Prithivi's love

Paesa… madandhaye..vizhi pesum chithiramae…

Kudos to Prakash Raj, Radha Mohan, Viji and team for delightful treat.
