The Colors of Love: An Alaipayuthey picspam

[dharmavati.livejournal.com]

Yeah, this is yet another picspam for picspammy. :P This time, I'm picspamming what is perhaps one of my all-time favorite Indian movie songs: "Pachai Nirame" from the Tamil movie Alaipayuthey. The reason it is particularly apt for the "Color Focus" challenge is that it is actually a song about colors. :D The lyrics of the song has the male lead character comparing his love interest to the many colors of nature and the cool thing is that you don't have to know anything Tamil at all to understand what color the song is talking about at any particular moment since the visuals help you out. :D



Some of you might recognize the song since Alaipayuthey was remade into Hindi as Saathiya and A.R. Rahman used the same music score. The Hindi equivalent of this song is the eponymous Saathiya but, with apologies to Rani Mukherjee and Sonu Nigam's voice, it is just not as awesome or pretty as the original "Pachai Nirame". I'm sorry, it's just true.








And because this picspam doesn't do enough justice to the prettiness:

Please don't use these screencaps for graphic-making!

Wah! So pretty :) Great job on the colouring :) It's one of my favourite songs ever.
What's more it was a really good movie :) Madhavan and Shalini were both wonderful. The music and cinematography also top notch.
