Songs As Part Of The Movies

There is no dreath of talent in the Indian movie industry. I want to confine my blog to Tamil Movies here. 

I've always wondered why they are making movies of same old 'shtyle'. Time have changed and people appreciate good movies. The commercial inclination of making movies is very much understandable. But most of them are not successful today, even with top heroes. To address the subject, with an audience who are used to 1 intro song, 1 item number, 3 duet songs in movies, it is difficult for good directors to make movies 'out of the box'. 

I think Bala is one of the director who is using the songs mostly as a background music. Starting from Sethu, Nandha and Pithamagan only very few songs are used for lipsynching and they fit well with the movie. Classic songs like 'Munpaniya' from Nandha, 'Ilangartru' from Pithamagan are used as background music. I think these are healthy development not to mention Bala's movies itself. With the upcoming movie 'Naan Kadavul', I wish he continues the trend. Though songs have been the lifeline of most movies' success, I would like to see them become irrelevent to the movies (not removed necessarily).
