I agree with Indmovboff in this- Maniratnam is the best when it comes to the picturisations of songs.
Shankar is no doubt, great with graphics and grandeur presentation- I still smile whenever I see Chikku Bukku (with the arrows shooting out from Prabhu Deva's eyes, or the smoke fuming out from his ears!) but somehow I've always been partial to Maniratnam's simple and elegant picturisation- the passion in Uyire Uyire, the demure Kannalane, the vivacious Chinna Chinna Aasai, the high spirited Chaiya Chaiya, the mysterious Satrangi Re and most importantly, the amazingly shot Iruvar songs! Mani is simply the master when it comes to choreography of songs. --- On Mon, 8/9/10, indmovbuff <[email protected]> wrote: From: indmovbuff <[email protected]> Subject: [arr] Re: best choreographed song ? To: [email protected] Date: Monday, August 9, 2010, 3:18 AM Vimal, whilst I like Shankar's stuff I till think Mani tops him for reasons you mentioned : his songs are a piece of art. No need for grandeur sets or exotic locations. Alaipayuthey is also another example. So is Roja. And Thiruda Thiruda like many others mentioned on this thread. Loved Thee thee and Chandralekha. Also loved Behene De (Usure Pohuthey) in Raavan. Hey goodbye nanba from AE. And the mother of all choreography- Dil Se. Classy stuff -these are the type of songs that you listen to immediately remember the way it was shot. I love Mani's style. :) Shankar does well too but I am not much of big sets grand locations person. I like it simple and sweet. --- In [email protected], "vimaljk" <vima...@...> wrote: > > @Indmov Buff, > > While I think Shankar choreographs the best...i agree with you about > "Kannathil Muthamittal"..each and every song (and video) was a piece of art, > and most importantly, blended with the music and the story of the > film...Mani's best choreography to date (in the sense that it blends in w/ > the movie...I also think its his best film.... additionally, the movie has > one of ARR's best scores (what Indians call BGM)) > > --- In [email protected], Indmov Buff <indmovbuff@> wrote: > > > > Kannathil muthamittal!
