I have always maintained that the Alaipayuthey BGM is a piece of genius, one that deserves a soundtrack of its own. Here, the Evano Oruvan theme: #ARRahman

(Please Bollywood, this does not mean that you need to make a cheap rip-off starring Prateik Babbar or Aditya Roy Kapur or whoever the fuck the new starkid is with this genius bit of music, leave it alone)

Anyway. I think one of my favorite things about the Alaipayuthey BGM (at least the sound captured from the movie) is the drone of the venerable old MG EMUs from Chennai in the background. ❤️

Nice short piece on the cinematography of Evano Oruvan -- surely one of Mani Ratnam/PC Sreeram's best shot sequences:

Precursor to a lot of Kannathil Muthamittal shots also (of which entire books can be written).

I mean, just look at how beautifully shot!
