Pyarge Aagbittaithe

Pyarge Aagbittaithe... A different way of saying, I’m in love.. Yes in indeed I’m in love, After a very long time I have truly liked a song from a mainstream Kannada movie. That too for so many elementary reasons like the lyrics, the rendition, voice of the female singer and music.

The song from the Movie Govindaya Namaha, starring Komal as Hero and newcomer as Heroine, has forced me to take a refreshingly new view towards the Kannada movie. The song carries an unique richness and touch of class which all the while missing in our movies. The director takes us on a journey through Indian Cinemas, right from the setup of the classic B&Ws, the Eastman Color to the present Digital Colors, and makes a striking expression on How the essence of Love and grandeur is expressed in our songs.

The music starts from the old Indian cinema music, with only the harmonium and a few other instruments like the tabla and shahanai, and gradually moves on to the digital beats, again not losing the tune and essence of the song but just enhanced beats and upped tempo. For a long time the music of kannada industry movies have been stuck in their own genre/style of music which I broadly classify as the Mungaru Male, Kariya and Duniya, and Nigam and GanjaWala styles, after so many stereotypes and mimicry this one is really refreshing. I have make a special mention of the female voice in this song, I don’t know if it’s the effects or the knack of the singer or both, but it reminds us of Shamshad Begum when the song starts of in the B&W era.
Lyrics of the song to are catchy, and the unique blend of Urdu and Kannada has made every it funny and has added to the songs aura, in fact overshadowing all other aspects of the song.

Komal, is at his usual funny best, one real good comedian in the Kannada industry. The heroine is absolutely stunning; she pulls off every look in the song from being a laila in the salwar kameez to a shiela in a Arabic belly dancer’s costume. Also her expressions are very apt and I’m not sure whether or not she understands the songs’ lyrics but full marks for the director and the heroine for the exotic look and sensual expressions and timing,… especially when she does that Nakko nakko ,… part.



Never before have I seen, or at least liked such richness and a successful amalgamation of talent in various aspects of movie song making, in Kannada Movies lately, and I’m glad that such freshness and talent is being equally encouraged, the video has spread across Facebook and has gathered suitably good number of views from people who understand kannada at least. This song stands out as a great example to all those detractors of Kannada Movies, and also to those hardcore kannada Movie patrons, that rightful talent is always recognized in its suitable size and reach.

  1. You forgot to mention about the hotness about the heroine. Brings in a lot of oomph to the song.

An Anniversary with the Adversary

Feb 14 th evoked a lot of mixed and vexed emotions in me, not for the reason that I share my first name with the culture honcho Muthalik, but it was exactly a year before this Date, I met ‘HER’…. Yes HER refers to that special someone…. Many of you might know her, she’s pretty famous these days, but what u wouldn’t know is that I’m dating her… No, she’s not BulBul… This post is a Memoir of the bygone year with her, a repertoire of experiences she’s enriched me with… I intended to post on Valentine's Day itself, but because of the demanding nature of hers I was forced to stay away from the internet, and celebrate our anniversary elsewhere. I met her, for the first time on Feb 13 2008, She was at the HR room in the 5 th floor of my office, waiting for me there; after a couple of mins of talk, I sensed we were getting closer, I didn’t expect that it would be such, that she would be mine henceforth. I felt a Déjà vu when I saw her, I felt I had met her befor

Bharatha as I see it..

I’m writing this post, inspired by a whatsapp argument I had with my bunch of friends. I wanted to pen my thoughts independent of an argument cause its easier to be carried away by the heat of the argument and one might misquote or misinterpret one’s understanding of a subject as grey as the Mahabharata. The main issue of contention was that the idea of Kauravas vs the Pandavas, and how the whole of Mahabharatha was biased towards glorifying the Pandavas. My friends also opined that Pandavas had no legal right over the throne of Kuru vamsha.  I would like to clarify that Pandavas never staked claim to the throne of Hastinapur, being valid and rightful Princes of the Kuru vamsha they sought rightful co-existence with the Kauravas. The only rightful character in the whole of Mahabharata after Shantanu who had all the qualities of a King but choose to forego the same over a promise he had made to his father and step-mother Bhishma was supposed to take care of both Dritharastra’s and

Life in a Belly!!

We are gifted unlike other animals to perform different tasks that are beyond our natural abilities and habitat and also live a life out the physical, mental, geographical and intellectual boundaries of birth. We basically have an option to live a life and adopt a lifestyle that we wish to, unlike our lesser privileged subordinates of the evolution tree. We can be a fish that swims; an ape that jumps; a bird that flies or a bull that tows and tugs, and drive by this need or feel we are or we wish to be something and somebody our body and mind is comfortable with, and it should remain so. Animals on the other hand do not enjoy this freedom, they are anatomical and physically of the same build, and irrespective of their emotional need they are bound be restricted by certain limitations of their physiology. There are no skinny elephants, or fat lions or furry lizards, unless of course their geographical and evolutionary needs drive them to mutate into another species altogether.
