Welcome to the Blog, Before reading this finale part, would suggest to read the previous parts to connect this.
Part -1
Part -2
Part -3
Part -4
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?
Though I cant speak for others, I have a life lesson to be learnt of his career and trying to incorporate within myself and have explained in final portion.
Before that in the Previous post, we saw some songs from The Vijay Genre and would like to continue in this blog with a kutty story.
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.
ஹார்டு ஒர்க்கும் வேணும்
ஸ்மார்ட் ஒர்க்கும் வேணும்
ஸெல்ப் மோட்டிவேஷன் அது நீதானே
எஜிகேஷன் வேணும்
டெடிகேஷன் வேணும்
ஸெல்ப் வேல்யூவேஷன் அத பண்ணி பாரேன்
Another Honorable mentions is Kadangi Kandangi from Jilla.
Though Vijay has sung for Surya in Periyanna , I feel he can also voice to other actors even when he's in Politics.
Kutti Pulli Kootam- Thuppaki
This is also my favorite, This isn't a normal hero worshipping intro song.
The song is set in an open ground as the hero ,an army officer relaxing light moments with his colleagues around the lake on vacation. It never feels as a sequence of some memorized /disconnected steps.
Vijay knows that he's neither Prabhu deva or Raju sundaram but seen as an wholesome hero who has to carry the emotions +story forward in his songs and he understands this assignment from his first few movies. Thats why i feel his songs stand out from other actors.
Comparing this with recent songs -Chellama(from Doctor) or Jalabula jung (fron Don) where the steps would be kind of forced to prove that hero can dance or it'll be on face that some difficult sequence are being performed on screen or emotionless hard steps and no chemistry between the leads would inhibit me enjoying the song. (No offence to SK sir, He's also a good actor but depends on how a particular song being choregraphed/conceived)
The moment where he sings below lines -
"சுத்தி மேக மூட்டம் leave'u விட்டா ஓட்டம்,
சாலை எங்கும் சேலைத் தோட்டம்
ஹேய் நானும் இப்போ Mumbai वाला
நாளை முதல் thousand वाला"
or
"அழகிகள் உலவும் தெருவெல்லாம் திரிந்து
அதில் மிக அழகியை விரும்பலாம்
யுவதிகள் தேடி அவதிகள் கோடி
இருந்தும் அதில் தான் சுகமெல்லாம்"
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.
"இன்பம் எதுவரை நாம் போவோம் அதுவரை
நீ பாா்க்க பாா்க்க காதல் கூடுதே"
The way he holds her feet or expresses joy when the kid says "Appa".
He carried himself as both the husband and the father into the song.
For me, at any moment, it wouldn't be complete without vijay songs
My travel song list will have "அர்ஜுனரு வில்லு" ,
My poems are inspired from Vijay's emotion "ஆண் கண்ணீர் பருகும் பெண்ணின் இதயம் ,சதை அல்ல கல்லின் சுவரா"?
My loneliness is comforted by his lines -
" கையில தான் நீ புடிச்சாலே, பிரச்சனை தீராத்தே
தூக்கி அத நீ எரிந்தாலே ,டென்ஷன் ஏறாதே"
My instant mood enhancer -"சூர தேங்கா அட்ரா"
He has a song covered for every situation
I can cover hundreds of his songs like "தமிழ் song" from pokkiri or "கோடம்பாக்க ஏரியா" or "ஜிமிக்கி பொண்ணு" but I would like to conclude the series with above song on a high emotional note.
Take away /Conclusion:
Cinema is a visual magic ,Need to create an identity or a factor to improvise yourself or for being relevant as hundreds of eyes are watching.
I feel Dance has been part of Vijay's Onscreen presence and that has been the differentiating factor.
Love the talent you wish to acquire so that It becomes your identity and keep improvising it until it becomes a part of you.
I too have incorporated this attitude in the work I love to do.
I hope this blog would've provided the same satisfaction, I felt while writing this.
We might be at closure But the "Blog is over only when I say its over"
Thank you for travelling in this journey.
