Ellorukum Vanakkam!!
It s nearly 8 longs years since i started to admire cinemas,
It was in 2003 September , when i first went to a theatre on my own with my friends Manoj & Manikandan(Qualcom) to Boys movie in Ganga Theatre in Karpagam Complex.
Three movies that year, each after a major examination,
Boys noon show after my Quarterly Exams.
Enaku 20 Unaku 18 after Half-Yearly and
Autograph as a gang after Annual Exams.
But the real attraction towards movies was marked by the movie Kaadhal in 2004.
I was totally into the movie even as a 11th student .
The peak of it was in 2010 when i watched nearly 30 movies in my 8th semester of college within a span of 6 months.
I am not going to further talk of my favourite movies or director or mass hero or collection.
The tiny thing i have choosen is the LOCATION
I am thinkin why i am picked this topic, may be my favourite subject in school is geography .
What is there in a location to talk about.
Does that have any significance on talking.
Will it make a difference!!!
Ok, leaving all such questions aside,
"Open pannuna oru azhagana gramatha kaamikrom" This is a most commonly used dialogues in movies while talking about location.
-------In mid 70s and early 80 movies are based on----------
1. chennai or
2. a poor family in a city or
3. how a man overcomes his problem.
But when BharathiRaja came he took the entire tamil cinema to village with his nativity touch and naatupura musics.
Then from 90s to 2002 it was city life althrough the way and forign song sequences and love.
The came a band of directors who showed nativity beyond villages,
It was BalajiShakthivel and Bala who sat on the driver's seat , they took Kodambakkam tO Theni and Madurai.
When Kathal released it showed how the life of people in madurai can be shown with such reality,
Then went a bunch of directors making all the good looking actors to wear veshti or lungies, clean shaved to beard filled faces.
The from kaathal to manam kothi paravai, the most important numbers are aadukalam, paruthiveeran, mynaa, Kazhugu, then merku paruva katru, poo, Boss.
----------If this is happening in one side, we have people who can go round the globe to bring the best places to Kollywood.---------------
**Shankar. He has already shown us the seven wonders in a single song, Beutiful Pune in Sivaji, Tulips in Boys and Aniyan.
**Manirathnam, has his own identity, even as he not even shot outside India has brought many beautiful places like thanushkodi in kannathil muthamittal, kashmir n ooty in roja, entire madras in alaipayuthae.
**Gowtham vasudev Menon, He is a great lover of Chennai, where he choose chennai as his theme when he shot each movie based on his protagonist living in anna nagar, adyar, tambaram, ECR, aminjikarai. Not to miss he has brought to our all the graet places in INDIA in Nenjukkul Peithidum song.
**Bala - A theni specialist in Pithamagan and Avan ivan. Who knows the land better than he does.
**Suseendran- A man with such variation all his four movies in four direction - VKK in interior villege, NMA in chennai city about love n friends moving places , ASK in Hilly terrain and RP in chennai Gym boys.
**Hari - he should be one of the inspiration for this blog where he aims at shooting movies in different districts of the state starting from Chennai, thoothukudi, Tirunelveli, Dindugal, Kovai, Sivagangai, Nagercoil , tiruchy.
**K.V.Anand- who can love one's camera more than he does, the places that are least visited by any international movie makers like Congo, Norway . Not only in foreign places, in Gala Gala song he also has taken us to major highlights of the districts of the state.
---------------Not only big directors like them , the growing up or debutants also choose different locations avoiding the same old places,-----------------
#Seeing a movie shot in trichy is a brand new experience in Engeyum eppothum
#Kayam a movie on Astrology has made a huge impact on the Tamil village people awareness towads false beliefs.
#Aravan , vasanthabalan has brought a brand new picturesque by setting up something that none of us would have seen in this so called modern era.
#Subramaniyapuram, Another board to tell tamil cine technicians to go further deep into Villages.
#Katrathu tamil where hero rushes into Villages of Mathya pradesh.
#mynaa , an unnoticed love story among valleys
#Korripalayam, mayandi kudumbathinar, Thenir viduthi, Thoonganagaram, Naadodigal,
Not only south Tamil nadu has scenic places , North and east also gives a tough competition.
--Kovai---:
SathyaRaj , Koundamani, Manivannan, Sundarajan . If u switch your tv to see any comedy scenes late night you can see thes people performing in any of the channels, not only they came from this region they also acted most of the movies shot in these locations like murai maanam, maaman magal, chinna thambi periyathambi, Thirumathi Palanichamy.
Sooriya vamsam and kalavani also were shot in and around pollachi for scenic views.
Oh If one talks of Kovai, how can we leave Ooty.
Where Kadhal Kottai, Sachin , Vishnu .
Valparai also has played major roles where Rajathi Raja , Kaathalikka Neramillai where shot.
------If you are near coimbatore i cannot stop me from talking of Kerala------------:
Autograpgh- the movie starts in Madurai, goes to azhapula , again lands in coimbatore and end in chennai.
Rhythm - Sangamam of Photgraphy and Nature in kerala.
Vinnai Thandi VAruvaya - Almost a honeymoon advise for lovers to go to boat resorts in Azhapuzha.
Paiya - travelling from Banglore to Bombay , A good LIFT to tamil audiences.
Pokkisham takes us to kolkatta ,
Anbe shivam to Orissa,
Goa to the Indian Miami.
---------------Sending Messages to the community:--------------------------------
Bharathiraja has already made huge impacts on female infanticide or relationship crisis in his movies.
Vaagai sooda va, a dictionary of the people who work in Brick fields and their settlements inlate 1960s period.
Angadi theru, torches a locality where entire tamil nadu goes and forgets to think of the people whom they see there
Passanga, into the kids world for 3 hours
There are many more that i have missed and, i feel travelling to many places will definitely widen our living space in this big world.
And these variation in places , atmospheres can do lot of good vibes to the masses who see it in silver screen and few who dream to go to these places.
Indian movies makes more number of movies than Hollywood does and Kollywood runs second in Indian race behind our friend Tollywood.
Proud to be a fan of Tamil Cinema.
