    TFM & Thamizh culture

    பண்பாடும் கலையும் எப்போதும் இணைந்திருப்பவை...தமிழர் பண்பாடு 2000 வருடங்களாக இலக்கியங்களில் வாழ்கிறது. இலக்கியம் (வடமொழியில் சொன்னால் லக்ஷ்யம்) கலை தானே?

    கடந்த 60-70 ஆண்டுகளாக திரை உலகும், திரைப்பாடல்களும் தமிழரது பண்பாட்டால் ஆளுமைப்பட்டோ அல்லது பண்பாட்டை பாதித்தோ இருக்கின்றன என்பதில் இரு கருத்து இருக்க முடியாது...எந்த விதத்தில் என இந்த இடத்தில் பகிர்ந்து கொள்வோம்...

    Thread title sounds dated...

    OK, let me pick up a 'current topic'

    There was some hue and cry about the "Angavai-Sangavai" in Sivaji recently...(plus Rajini's Fair & Lovely effort, leading to a song describing karuppu, veLuppu, pachchai etc.)

    Whether the Thamizh culture place a great deal on skin color?...What about TFM...

    The most romantic hero of film songs of yesteryears, Kannan, is typically depicted with dark complexion...kaNNA, karumai niRakkaNNa...neela vaNNakkaNNA vAda...

    OTOH, 16 vayadhinilE has a sharp contrast in a couple of lines in manjakkuLichchu:
    (interestingly, the reference is again to Rajinikanth)

    ஆளப்பாரு கரியாட்டம், ஆசையிலே இது நரியாட்டம்

    Obviously the dark complexion is ridiculed here...is it the MGR-Kamal kind of "fair" heroes who influenced these lines...or do the culture in general favor "fair complexioned" people? (even though technically all Thamizh's are brown people)
    ....A typical matrimonial will ask for "fair" bride and not a dark bride...My Assamese coworker once joked - "the Thamizh movies will have a dark hero (much like average Thamizh people) but the heroine will be too bright & fair...do you people have a complex"
