Pick #1043
Song: mEyuthE Adu mEyuthE
Film: Kadal Pookkal
Music: Deva
Singers: Krishnaraj, Sathya
Lyrics: ?
Year: 2001
Murali had a long career in his short life. He had two basic qualities required to be successful in Tamil cinema. Talent and Likeability. He had the skills to be the leading man and a baby face that you just cannot not like. Apart from that he always maintained his humility and modesty and lived a scandal-free life as far as I know. In so many ways he was a model actor. Murali was never the top-tier actor commercially, but most of the Tamil film audience is grieving his passing. That says something.
With a feeling of disbelief from the sudden loss of a young life I travelled back to the 1980s and listened to some of the beautiful melodies from Murali's films. While the melodies were caressing me softly the knowledge that this eternally youthful actor is no longer with us gave me a feeling of disillusionment. Like a chunk of my past was simply plucked out of my life and thrown away out of my sight forever. That is the best I can put in words. We often jokingly refer to Murali's film roles which were much younger than his age but suited him perfectly. It turns out that Murali was truly blessed with eternal youth. We will never get to see him age.
Today's pick was filmed on Murali and Pratyuksha who also left the world too soon. Kadal Pookkal, in my opinion, was the best film by Bharathiraja in the last ten years.
