A Hero with Thousand Steps -The Finale
Welcome to the Blog, Before reading this finale part, would suggest to read the previous parts to connect this.
When I started this blog series, I had one question in my mind. Why should I write this?
Initially I wanted to pour down my admiration as an audience but eventually when I retrospect on how am carrying this series, am thinking do I have any takeaway from Vijay's dance career?
Should it be just an admiration or would be understood as a hero worship blog that might satisfy a particular fan base or is it a take away of a life lesson?
Kutty Story - Master
Vijay is as cute when he dances and also when he doesn't dance much as well. He moves along the song with liveable moments that captures our heart. I feel he doesn't prove or force any frame in the song even though he's a great dancer.
This Kutty Story song lives in my phone, heart and in my conscious always. Whenever you have a bad day or someone hurt you, Just close your eyes and listen to Vijay's voice. For me Vijay's dance is as comforting as his voice for decades that I have an entire playlist of his voice.
His grace will be felt through the entire song and is so positive. Its a must to hear song.
ஸ்மார்ட் ஒர்க்கும் வேணும்
ஸெல்ப் மோட்டிவேஷன் அது நீதானே
எஜிகேஷன் வேணும்
டெடிகேஷன் வேணும்
ஸெல்ப் வேல்யூவேஷன் அத பண்ணி பாரேன்
Kutti Pulli Kootam- Thuppaki
En Jeevan - Theri
I have covered almost entire Vijay sir career and expressed how much I love him as the dancer but this song isn't about his dance. This entire song is about him protraying how to respect a woman in his life. Often Women in Tamil cinema songs are being portrayed in hyper sentimental or emotional frames that often turns out cringe moments.
But in this entire song, I love the respect portrayed by Vijay and Atlee. How to carry a girl, her entire family along with his new born. I think till now I haven't came out of the lines.
Take away /Conclusion:
Love the talent you wish to acquire so that It becomes your identity and keep improvising it until it becomes a part of you.
We might be at closure But the "Blog is over only when I say its over"
Thank you for travelling in this journey.
A Hero with Thousand Steps -Part 4
Hi Welcome,
Before reading this part, would suggest to read the previous parts to connect this.
Coming to the Blog now.
If you split up Vijay's Dance career, you can categories the songs in this themes- Causal Love songs / Mood Enhancer/ Mass songs / Melodies. But I would like to explore an another dimension that's never been highlighted i.e. the Vijay Genre
Yarathu Yarathu - Kavalan
This song is set in mood where Vijay will be searching for his lover whom he hasn't seen yet. He'll be expressing through cute emotions over the entire song sequence. At no point in song, he does over do or sound artificial. This is what I mentioned being stand alone.
Bambara kannu from Madurey -
Nee kovapattal naanum -Villu
In Antartica song, entire sequence is shot in an stadium throughout as the heroine is shown as an athlete. Vijay will be dancing round the gameplay. Here ,the focus will be expressing to be around the heroine with Vijay in Background. Not sure if any hero could carried this with breezy moments or agreed to dance in backdrop. I loved the expressions on the lines especially the expression around the lines.
My favorite lines are around these lines
காண்பேனா என்றே வாழ்ந்தேன்
நீ கிடைத்தால்,
என் தேசம் போலே உன்னை நேசிப்பேன்!"
In the next blog, the series finale I'll discuss few more songs and also the take away from his career.

A Hero With Thousand Steps - Part 3
Maatu Maatu Nee - Youth
I personally enjoyed the karagam sequence and the sequence where Vijay's Ghilli transforms into Rose on Priyanka. Though film didn't fare well ,this song stands out in his filmography.
- Another notable song in this movie -Ullathai killathe.
- One which is mostly forgotten now - Mississppi Nadhi Kulunga from Priyamanavale. As a song its average but I love the pairing of Vijay- Radhika choudhary. Often heard during childhood, I feel this rarely gets mentioned.
- Another is Thimsu Katta from Thirumalai
The entire movie is set in an unconventional space and as the movie didn't fare much that time, even the songs were faded without recognition. This is my favorite composition here in the album.
- Another notable song in this movie -Oru Naal Oru Kanavu
- Another notable song in this movie - Thiruvallikeni Rani.
- The song is paired with Vijay and Vivek . This is featured as the Intro song. I think Vijay is the only actor in the recent times. who has shared screen presence with a comedian entirely in a dance sequence even allowing Vivek to perform in the song.".

A Hero With Thousand Steps - Part 2
- Kangala Minnala(Endredrum Kadhal) - This is also a dream sequence and kind of reminiscient of above song but nevertheless its also packed with enjoyable moments.
- Olli Olli Idupe - A bubbly song carried by Vijay -Trisha Pairing. Though Trisha isn't a trained dancer like Vijay, together they make a lot of cute expressions spread across the entire song. It doesn't stick out in any mood of the song be it melody like "Kannum Kannum than" or fun song like "Olli Olli" or "Kattu Kattu" or high intense number like "Appadi Podu" or "Matta" song.
- Thodu Thodu enave - I equally love this song along with earlier song, especially when the Rickshaw transforms into the chariot or the moment when the below lines come over,
- Megamai Vandhu Pogiren and Innisai Paadivarum are other mandatory mentions here.
Combined with SPB's soulful singing that matches with the minimal sequence that would only be appropriate for that period Vijay is what makes this song so special especially when he sings "Kadhali ennai kadhali".
தூங்கும் தேவை ஏதும் இன்றி
கனவுகளும் கைகளில் விழுமா"
சுடச் சுடவென காய்ச்சலே ஊட்டு
வானரங்கள் ஆடிடா போலாம் வர்றியா"

A Hero With Thousand Steps - Part 1
"Follow your Bliss and the Universe will open doors, where there were only Walls" -Joseph Campbell
In 1992, Tamil Cinema opened a door for 18 year old Vijay (also known as Thalapathy now).
- Aaja Re (this song is specifically for Vijay's expressions where he's matching Mano's voice).
- Singara Kannuku- Another notable Peppy number from this movie.
- OK OK - Not sure if I compliment Singer Suresh Peters or Vijay here , a Vintage Vijay song.
Another notable song in this movie :
- Sollamale Yaar parthathu - Vijay proved that even slow paced dance can be entertaining with this song (especially the sequence that starts with Malligai Poo vasam vandhu). Even when Vijay doesnt dance, his expressions carries the entire song.
- Chicklet Chicklet song - Vijay's comic timing infused in choreography would make this song special
- Sakkarai Nilave - Man, this song is bundle of emotional Vijay. The way he dances being rejected along with iconic lines -"Unakum Enakum ellam pidika ennai en pidikathu endrai"
- Santhosam Santhosam - Not particularly for the dance , but for the love and Vijay being in it. I felt this has heavily been overshadowed by Althotta Bhoopathi during that time.
- Kadhal Sollavthu & Angel Vandhale -No heavy dance sequence , the smiling breezy Kadhaluku mariyadhai steps. The way he smooches Bhoomika while singing "Nee mattum than Sakhiye" adds up the cute moments. Vijay feels Live while performing the sequence

104.Happy Independence Day
~Land of Dreams
Dreams big enough to be
The "Wings Of Fire"
A Dream that's Bright
Dared To Take Flight
Would crash back to Ground
Because
Gravity of Reality is too Strong.
Happy Independence Day
For the Freedom To Dream.

103.படித்துறை
அவள் கண்களில்
எத்தனை கேட்கினும்
இனியும் பயனில்லை
போதும்!
இதோ இதே இடத்தில்
என் பின்னால்
நாங்கள் விளையாடி உடைத்த
பீங்கான் பொம்மைகள்
பல இரவுகளில்
அவள் ஊட்டிய நிலா சோறு
என் முதல் சம்பளத்தில்
அவள் கையணைத்த வளையல்
இன்று
அவள் மண ஒப்பந்த செய்தி
பொறுமையிழந்து உடைந்தேன்
என்ன வேண்டும்
என் புன்னகை தானே?
உன்னுடனே கொண்டு செல்
ஒன்றும் சொல்லாது
தலை கவிழ்ந்து சென்றாள்.

102.இரயில் பயணம் (Memoirs of a Journey)
தண்டவாளத்தில் ஓர் அதிர்வு ஒலி
ஏதேனும் ஒரு இரயில் கடந்திருக்கலாம்
அல்லது ஓர் இரயிலின்
வருகையினை எதிர்பார்த்திருக்கலாம்.
இரயில்கள் ஒய்வெடுக்கலாம்
எங்கேனும் ஓர்
ஆலமர நிழலில்
யாருமில்லா நிலையத்தில்
இளைப்பாறலாம்
ஆனால் பயணங்கள் ஓய்வதில்லை.
சுமந்து செல்லும் இரும்பு குதிரை
நாளை,
எவரேனும் என் பயணத்தை தொடரலாம்.
இரயில் இருக்கையின் வழியே
வெளிகாட்சிகள் யாவும்
வேகமாய் பறந்தோட
யாருக்காக காத்திருக்கிறது
இச்சாலையோர மரங்கள்.
கரையோடும் வெள்ளமென
எனை சூழும்
நினைவக பேழை
இரயிலின் தாலாட்டு
சிறு வயது சேலைத் தொட்டில்
கண் மூடி
உறங்கி போகிறேன்.
காவிரி தீவின் மேல்
வழிப்போக்கனை வருடும் குளிர்க்காற்று
உலகின் கண்களில்
மனிதனின் இரயில் ஓர் செயற்கைக் கோற்புழு.
விலகா திரை- மூடுபனியில்
கம்பீரமாய் ஸ்ரீரங்கத்து கோபுரம்
காலை துயில் எழுகிறேன்.
வழித்தடம் நின்றவுடன்
கண்களால் நன்றி கூறி
காலச்சக்கரத்தின் வேக சுழற்சியில்
கையசைத்து தொடர்கிறது புது பிரயாணம்.
புலம் பெயரும் பறவை
உடைமைகள் தூக்கி செல்கிறதா என்ன?
தீயில் கரித்துகளென
பிடித்தம் இல்லா மறுநொடி வாழ்க்கை
காலமும் வயதும் யாருக்கேனும் நிற்பதில்லை
பயணத்தின் அந்நொடி நினைவுகளோடு
விடைபெறுகிறேன் !
நன்றி மீண்டும் வருக.
