A single-handed voyage from Rahman
sanu k
I always like to share exceptional works, but we cant always
ask for that, becoz you wont always see a straight road. So today i want to share a
video which has got the best technicians living in India, but unfortunately the
output was not what i expected.The most devilish work a creator can have in his
lifetime is to give a video interpretation to Rahmans song and grab more
attention to the video than music. Many had tried , but only Manirathram was
able to pose some competition though he wasn't able to blanket it completely.
But i am sure someday someone could beat Rahman's music with his video becoz
"Nothing is written, its re-written" , and I even envisaged the battle will be
between man who can absolutely define love and the mystic master. But my
instincts where wrong or i need to wait more to see that from him. Though he was
able to define love but still got to be fortunate to smash this piller . I
think you got a blurred image of this person, if not, watch Aromale to see his
brilliance. Arey yaar I am talking about Gowtham Vasudev Menon.
This song was composed as a Tamil Anthem , and Rahman had done freakingly awesome
way, included the best from music showcase and given a superior touch to
carnatic music (he he not sure about this one , becoz i even donno how a
carnatic music looks :p kidakkettenu vichaarichu ). The beats used in the final
phase are simply WOW!!! i dont want to blab about this song as i already shared
this in my previous mail.
So coming to the video i should say , G Menon cant ask for more than this ,
becoz he got the best backends and made a total mess out of it :( Except
for the first 50 secns and final shot, evrything else were a series of
abysmally poor making. The video reminds me of some outdated serials shown in
Doordarshan with dull colors and amateur cuts. Even the long shots by Manoj
Paramahamsa remain unnoticed due to sleazy editing. Rahman looks blind in smashing goggles, dont know who design this costume but sure he himself is blind.
So guyz just hava a glance at this one : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZg4c5QvrhI
Share what you feel about this music video and pls enlighten me on Carnatic music .
Bye
