Human Personalities And Music Lovers

Year back i got an opportunity to attend interpersonal training where i came to know about different types of human characters. After understanding different characters my relationship with everyone become happier than before. As per my personal observation the likes and dislikes depends on character of a person and Musical interest is not an exception. Suddenly thought of sharing my own observation with you all so started writing this post.

Though the personality of a person is unique, character of a person can be put in a generalized form. Thinkers, Relaters, socializer and Directors are generalized category of characters.

Thinkers : Thinkers are self contained and organized. They love planning things and doing them sequentially, they prefer accuracy in anything they do. Thinkers love logics, they always put things in logical form. Thinkers usually spend lot time for preparation, they feel confident with preparation. Thinkers are least risk takers, when things are not favor at their end they usually withdraws or avoid as they are irritated by unpredictability. As per my observation thinkers loves music that have certain patterns and well organized form, they are interested to know the technical aspects of music. They equally prefer melodies and beat songs. They always like sound orchestration and multiple layers of music.

Relaters : Relaters are open and direct. Love, affection, care are the words they like to hear from others. Relaters are feeling oriented and always willing to have good relationship with everyone they meet. They want themselves to be loved by all, they spent lot of time in talking. They will show more interest to hear others problem and often they will share their personal things too. If anyone is in deep trouble relaters are the first to go and help them out, they will be loyal to their friends and family. Since relaters are too sensitive if someone hurts or neglects them they will be frustrated. Relaters loves music that makes them feel, they prefer music which stay long in their heart. They give much importance to lyrics of the song, and usually they will remember them for long time. They always prefer melodies.

Socializer: Socializer are open and takes the life as it comes. They hardly plan things, they do everything spontaneously. since they will always have bunch of ideas with them even major decision in their life would be taken in minutes. They love to say ‘Life is to enjoy’, they often expect changes and will be irritated by routine work. they are so flexible and always ready to accompany anyone at anytime. They love risk, and thus socializers are often risk takers. They will be always fresh and enthusiastic, socializer needs fun in everything. Coming to musical interest socializers prefer fast beat songs, they want song that give more energy to them. They will give least importance to lyrics, and hence will not remember them even for while. They will not prefer to hear same song again and again, they need changes often. 

Directors: Directors are self contained and bold. Result, achievement, leadership are their favorite words. They are least bothered about process and more concerned about results. Directors will not prefer to listen long stories from others and they wants things to be in points. They love statistics and happy to results, track records etc. Directors will be frustrated if someone don’t obey them or didn’t listen them. Directors are keen are hear popular albums in the market.

Bottom Line: Any person would not always fit in to one of the above category, as per my observation most of the people will be in mix of two characters.

This is my personal experience and observation, if your music interest doesn’t satisfies above mentioned cadre then deliberately sorry.

KaviArasu:Ilaiyaraja KaviperArasu:A.R. Rahman

Kaviarasu Kannadasan, Isaignani Illaiyaraja, Kaviperarasu Vairamuthu and Isai Puyal A.R.Rahman are invaluable people for tamil cinema. All these four people are unique in their own way thats why they are called as Legends.

When we hear Kannadasan song we would ask ourself how this man come up with these lines, all his songs would exactly fits the situation of the movie. To my surpirse i heard that Kannadasan never sits and write a song, usually the director will tell the tune in no minutes he will start saying lyrics (Panchu Arunachalam will keep writing the lyrics). All his songs are simple and crisp but also he never misses creativity in his song. Recently i read a news about Kannadasan, Kavignar wrote a song 'Anbu Nadamadum Kalaikudamey' for the film Avan thaan manithan and it went for Recording. While giving this song Kavignar mentioned that he gave good hint in this song. The entire unit was bit confused and finally Mellisai Mannar MSV broked the secret Word 'May' followed in the entire song. During start of the movie, director mentioned to kavingnar that the movie is going to hit the screen in the month of may so that he wants the lyrics quickly. Kavignar replied superbly with his lyrics.

Isaignani Illaiyaraja is also of same cadre, he never things and write songs. Once the situation is given Raja will start giving tune. For his caliber recording all the songs for the movie karakatakaran (Tune, orchestration, recording) in less than half a day is not a big deal. Once in an interview ace director maniratnam said Raja would complete BGM for a movie in One stretch, he will see the movie once then he will start writing notes. If we play his notes, the BGM will exactly fits the situation and it will exactly synchronize with video with accuracy level of seconds. How this man do this? Still breaking my head to find out.

Coming to Vairamuthu and A.R.Rahman, they are creative thinkers. Both of them sits for long time to mold the song to perfection. Vairamuthu took even days to write a song, but when you hear the song you can feel the his creativity to greater extent. A.R.Rahman employs so many layer of music in his songs, during my school days while hearing songs of Mudhalvan, Jodi i was taken to different world and surprised of hearing so many sounds in seconds gap.

So what is the final verdict, do i am relating Kannadasan and Illaiyaraja with my previous post Karma theory? Keep reading my post :)

PASANGA - Movie Review

Pasanga is a neat movie by debut director pandiyaraj. As title imply the movie revolves around two small boys ‘Anbu’ and ‘Jeeva’. The two boys really acted well especially Jeeva (the same boy who acted in Katrathu Tamil) scores well. Director moulds every character beautifully (anbu’s little brother is good example) all the characterization are so natural, especially Anbu’s father and mother character, typical middle class. One good thing I liked about the movie is use of positive messages throughout the movie, use of Abdul kalam’s dream to encourage children is really great, hats off to the director.

Love sequence is also good in the movie, Vega (saroja fame) did her part well, usage of Ilaiyaraaja’s track for their love is good but then I don’t know why all the directors is doing this. Since already sasikumar used some tracks of Raja in Subramaniapuram i am not sure whether he is fan of Raja or James vasanthan is fan of Raja. Coming to music of the movie, James vasanthan scores well in the songs but fail to impress in BGM. First half an hour film is spoiled by BGM, I was thinking what would happen if Raja scored music for the movie while watching first half an hour. Two songs are really good, one song sung by Shreya Goshal ,Naresh Iyer and other song sung by Dr. Balamurali Krishna are surely of repeated hearing genre. Picturization of these two songs are really appraisable.

Coming to downside of the movie, Climax is too cinematic and also it reminds Anjali movie. Director should have made first half an hour little more interesting. But overall the movie is worth watching.

Verdict: Movie with Message

NAAN KADAVUL- MOVIE REVIEW

A director who tied up audience emotions with movies like Sethu, Pithamagan comes with another movie ‘Naan Kadavul’ of same genre but with heavy dose. Salute to the director for giving this kind of movie. The story line is simple as expressed in title of the movie, hero thinks himself as God who do Agoram of villain. Ayra performance stuns everyone; he lived as ‘Ruthran’. His Eyes and body language speaks lot. In Pithamagan ‘Sithan’ Character is beautifully handled by bala and hence viewer are very clear about the character but this was missing in ‘Naan Kadavul’. I think this would have avoided if Arya would given more scenes in the movie (I am not sure whether censor edited so many scenes). This is the rare movie in tamil cinema where you can see so many physically challenged people in the screen; everyone did justice to their role, kudos to all of them and special kudos to director for spending so much time to get good performance from them. Pooja steals the entire movie by her overwhelming performance; she is certainly eligible for National award.

Songs and BGM are top class as it was handled by Maestro Illaiyaraaja. Rightly said by bala once ‘Who could able to do music other than Illaiyaraaja?’ . But it is sad that only two song comes in the movie. Bala would have included ‘Kannil Parvai’ song in the movie, thanks to Maestro at least we can able to hear interlude of this song in BGM. The way ‘Pichai Pathiram’ song picturized is excellent. I am sure ‘Ohm Siva’ song will ring in the ears when you come out of the theatre. Final chasing is high light of the movie. Cameras, Stunt, Arya’s performance are extra ordinary in this scene. Illaiyaraaja’s BGM elevates this scene to higher level.

Bala would have excluded the scene in police station where MGR, Sivaji and Rajini were imitated, and would have included songs. We should appreciate bala for his bravery attempt.

Verdict: Heavy dosage of Emotion for normal filmgoers.
