Beautifully scripted music video from Mother Dairy, by Ogilvy India. The specific snapshots gain tremendously from exquisite writing and casting. While the inflight ice cream exchange and the next one, the husband helping his office-going wife are lovely, my favorite is the more

Just when I thought I was disappointed with Yuvan's GOAT Whistle Podu, he delivers a whopper! A Hindi ghazal in Star that moves to Tamil in the anupallavi! Outstanding song! tinyurl.com/starghazal

Quality Cinema is a kind of an education in itself.. I owe a lot to cinema in terms of learning, even for my personal growth or professional life which has nothing to do with Cinema.. and It is also a binding factor, for lifelong bonding and friendships..

It is just the trash,

A movie that was truly a vibe (it still is!)! And what stellar music!!

Milliblog Weeklies, Week 245 tinyurl.com/APR21-2024 A bumper playlist, thanks to last week's no-show. Fully loaded with a superb (entire) funky new pop album, Coke Studio from 2 neighbors, a brilliant Thyagaraja krithi fusion, and quite a few excellent Malayalam songs.

I saw the two trailers of Hari's upcoming film Rathnam, starring Vishal, in Tamil (tinyurl.com/rathnam-tamil) and Telugu (tinyurl.com/rathnam-telugu). Typically loud, frenetic, and adequately bloody.

But what is interesting is that Vishal plays a Tamil guy fighting goons from AP/T

Terribly underwhelming first single! Whistle Podu - The Greatest Of All Time tinyurl.com/goatwhistle I was more interested in watching the return of Prasanth, who is now 51 (Vijay is 49, incidentally, and the opening 'Bar 68, Since 1974' is perhaps an ode to Vijay's birth year :)

Probably owing to 2 holidays this week, no decent new music barring just 3 songs (even those, I'm not entirely sure are Weeklies-worthy) :) So, pushing Weeklies to next weekend.

Milliblog Weeklies, Week 244 tinyurl.com/APR07-2024 Rahman's entertaining Ranga Ranga, Paal Dabba's fun OCB, Vidyasagar's time machine, another Yuvan song he shouldn't have sung, my picks from Sunny M.R.'s Om Bheem Bush, a Punjabi song that has Nadaswaram-like phrases & more!

Karthik S Karthik S - Here’s the Apple Music playlist for this past week’s (rather couple week’s) songs.

Milliblog Weeklies, Week 243 tinyurl.com/MAR31-2024 This is A R Rahman's week! My picks from Rahman's outstanding Chamkila, and 2 songs from Maidaan. Plus, MM Kreem's vintage Hindi form, and more good music from Imman, Gopi Sundar, Hesham, Kailas Menon, Neha-Tony Kakkar & more.

Such romanticization of stalking, kidnapping. So much on the man's mental illness n oppression; not abt the woman getting kidnapped n killed - except 'stockholm syndrome victim' (fake syndrome made up by a man)

'Kanmani anbodu' n 'paartha vizhi' r real-life stalker male anthems

'Ask the cinephiles and they will vouch for how Gunaa, which was criminally under-appreciated during its release, has always been a cult classic set in stone'.

Good question. I'd love to know too. But then, would it work for film songs which mix ragaas or use them with considerable variations?

New ad for the British toilet roll brand Andrex, by the agency FCB London. Many Indians may be familiar with the music that plays in the background (which the agency would have bought the rights to): the prelude to Pag Ghunghroo (Namak Halal, 1982. Music: Bappi Lahiri)!

Got just 3 songs out of the many I heard from the new releases. Will club them with next week's Weeklies :)
