Let me start with Mayakkam Enna – Kadhal En Kadhal – In this movie the heroine is not ditching the hero even though the hero is psychologically depressed. The hero has a song stating “Adida avala, vetra avala” for the heroine, whereas the hero gets a sympathetic song “Pirai thedum Iravilae” when he is in the depressed state.
In the movie 3 – why this Kolaveri? The hero (Dhanush) could not handle his bipolar disorder and attempts suicide leaving the heroine alone. Just because of one sentence the heroine said that she is going to US which was already discussed between them, the hero has this song. In spite the heroine (Shruthi Hasan) married him against her parents wish.
In the movie Neethane En Pon Vasantham - Pengal Endral Poiyae Poi thana- this is the height of everything I described. First of all I feel the movie is a crap where the hero does everything and finally blames the heroine. The worst part is, the director made the story in such a way that the heroine is dumb enough to accept whatever hero says without even giving a second thought to it due to her mad love with him (kadhal kannai maraikum enbargal buthiyayum maraithathu ingae :P )
In the movie Raja Rani – Hey Baby - Not only the hero (Arya) but also the heroine (Nayantara) is not happy with the marriage, but only Arya has a song asking the girl to move out of his life and especially the line "nimadhiyae illa machan pona ava veetuku" as if the heroine feels happy when he comes :P . My concern is this, why does the media portray women in the negative shade though they have the same feeling (why didn't people have a song for the heroine asking the hero to move out of her life)
Though heroines don’t ditch the heroes, why do the media have a SOUP SONG for guys portraying women in the negative shade?? Don’t you think you have the responsibility to convey the right message to the people?? Why is this happening?? Is it because majority of the people working and writing the song are men where you unknowingly from your subconscious mind blaming women for all the faults?? Why do you convey this kind of message unnecessarily when this is not needed in the first place? Actually speaking we can count the number of songs on motherhood which actually tells the sacrifice the women do than this type of songs. I actually don’t want you people to praise women but please don’t put their self-esteem at stake when it is not necessary at all. Media - when you interview these people please put forth these questions instead asking what was the funny incident that happened in the shooting spot or rather digging out their personal life.
My humble request to lyricists or directors - just because you get a mass hit out of these songs please don't portray women in negative shades unnecessarily!!

arthi superb...:). people may change by seeing this post
ReplyDeletethanks :)
Deletenice point of view and well put..
ReplyDeletethank you... btw do you follow kollywood movies?
DeleteReally very nice arthi.... Hope this reaches
ReplyDeleteMany might think i'm a misogynist, but i think i have something to comment, the songs are for entertaining the REAL people in the world, and your so called HEROINE marries and sacrifices only in those movies..!
ReplyDeleteof course i'm not saying that all women are exactly the same as they describe in the songs, the problem is, may be it's just women's nature to hide their feelings, in real life women mostly never open up, its not fair blaming the male society for putting you in the box, those times are gone, but still today's women are still afraid to open and they're afraid to be judged and they just end up judging everyone.. that's why girls hate each other, women have all the rights, but they still are afraid to cross the lines that were drawn ages ago,{ think about that Sita, she still got kidnapped, though she never crossed the line }.. Only if they are ready to take that freedom and come out of their cocoons some sort of change will be seen. but that's probably not about to happen because it's hard for women to get united...
the hero and the heroine are not real people, and the song writers are real people, once again, men are not perfect beings but at least they are living the freedom that they have, sometimes they tend to take advantage of women, not because he is over ruling her, it's just because she is not ready to accept that she is equal to him, women just want be superior but they're just insecure within themselves to even be equal..
if women just try to be equal and not over judging and bold enough , i'm sure these kinds of negatives criticisms will be stopped..
And one more fact about indian cinema we all have to agree is that, they lack creativity, all they can show is about love. nothing else.!
they just run out of ideas and just mix up the old rum and give you in a new glass.. we can't just blame the industry too..
they're making films for these morons who wants the same crap.. they make money..
women really must change.
i will say that if the girls are ready to boldly describes the man of her dreams or someone she loves, or at least her expectations , ( something like a Vaseegara song written by a women )
i mean this could really change the society, and even help men to change, i believe that women are the central importance of any society and they affect the society in a very significant way.. if they start coming out, even some men would want to change according to their expectations, may be we could have a better society instead of seeing those stupid guys fighting for girls in the bus stops..
if you wanna come out you need to get out.! Buck Up Ladies.! stop whining and hiding behind the veils..! It's high times you have to stop blaming and get into action..!
( I mean no offence, i would really like to see a world where a women is not criticized for everything she does , you've had a lot, for all these ages, now its time for all of you to react, Not OVER REACT )
thanks :) but I did not relate it to the women in real life.. I just said in that movie it doesn't fit and the people are conveying the wrong message though it doesn't fit
