i have unearthed a stunning discovery. behold my genius.be astounded by me.
before i start,this is a biased post as i bear sort of a grudge with the topic i am about to write on.so if u want to read something unbiased,go here.

Tamil songs nowadays are getting absolutely nonsensical.

Although their increasing 'nonsensicality' is well documented,i feel the need to chip in with my two 'paisa'(indian cents) worth. This is the translation of a song from the 60s.Simple yet meaningful.

Your eyes are the door to your soul.Women are the cause of our relationships. Give your soul to a woman. And respect her as your life.

now juxtapose it with one of 2008's most popular songs. This song is so popular they came up with a one hour show for it.Behind the scenes look and all..

The cow died and Man ate it.He used its hide as a skin for a drum.

He made women and put a womb in them.he put a fire in their wombs and made it burn.Madurai is burning. Extinguish it!Extinguish it! LARISOMA,LARISOMA!

You heard me right. that really is the translated version of the song. Surprise!It's nonsensical in both Tamil AND English!hahah..Now Non-indians will be wondering what exactly 'larisoma' is. Well to put it simply,it doesn't mean anything. its just in there to sound happening.
but i give credit where it's due,it's catchy. thus it has served it purpose.

Whereas in the past,songs and movies were meant to make one think, nowadays they are just meant to sell. This probably is reflected in other industries not just the tamil one.But i find that the difference in the movies 4 decades ago and now are much more stark here than in other industries.

1960s, the movies were mostly family oriented with loosely translated titles like 'Divine Birth','Don't disobey the Mother' and 'All for you'. Nowadays,many titles are absolutely hilarious. 'Spider','Bad Guy','God is in room 307'. haha..I'm not trying to say all the movies are bad,but majority of movies nowadays are trash as far as i am concerned. And it's disgusting how much sex is in the movies. Dance scenes seem to always have a scantily clad woman dancing around. But the sad truth of the matter is that SEX SELLS. Gosh,i've been having problems with indian movies for the past 5-6 years i tell you. I can't comfortably watch an entire movie with my family anymore! well that's all. gotta go catch one of those rare things.

a good indian movie.about an adopted girl,her realisation she's adopted and how her adoptive parents bring her on a perilous journey to find her biological mother. needless to say,it won awards but didn't run at the cinemas very well. morons
