This song stood out for its wonderful slowness and thought-provoking lyrics,coupled with Unni Menon's soothing voice!It kind of revealed the central crux of the movie,which I guess... must be about how the hero takes us through the grief that his parents encounter due to his falling in love and the implications it has on their lives!You could download the mp3 of the song here!
The lyrics of the song is as follows...
I always used to wonder why all the directors came up with stories eulogising the so-called 'love'!May be this movie is the trendsetter which brings out reality,similar to the simple yet memorable movie - autograph by Cheran!I sometimes feel it is the Indian movies which give out too much of outlandish ideas to the college goers,who otherwise would have spent their time towards other useful stuff for the betterment of their lives and people dependant on them!
The process of falling in love and triumphing at any cost has been the crux of almost 80% of the tamil,telugu and hindi movies till date,starting from the 1950s to the latest movie that I saw.Even the movies which fall under the 'thriller' or 'comedy' category ,somehow are forced to include a couple struggling to cope up with their youth and being forced to fall in love!But its not a coincidence when we realise that almost everyone of those movies support the process,even when the whole concept of 'love marraige' is considered taboo across all families.May be its the fact that it is taboo among the masses that lends the thrust to the theme to have been used repeatedly and quite successfully for almost 6 decades now!
Some of the movies portray a very unrealistic rosy picture completely masking the reality that the couples have to encounter after eloping!Life in the movies is reduced to just falling in love;encountering the struggles and finally getting married successfully!The aftermath where the whole life starts is conveniently forgotten.It is this part of life that one really needs the support of parents and relatives,with whom the movies show the hero and heroin even go to the extent of killing them just to get married!
With the way things are going in Indian movies,I don't think its ever going to change!It wouldn't be surprising in the year 2020 to see Vikram's son or Vijay's daughter running around trees,Rajnikanth(yeah..even then he'd be a hero) bunking college and romancing aishwarya's daughter(his grand-daughter) and kamal indulging in unnecessary lip locks just for the sake of it!
