app's reference to 'Dharam Veer' reminded me of the English movie BGMs which were famous during those times. so famous that everyone would be humming the BGM eventhough they had not watched the movie. The BGMs by themselves were released as 78rpms. The famous amongst them were 'Laura's Theme' from Doc Zivagho, 'Come September' and the music of the Clint Eastwood's Spagetthi Westerns. Who can forget the theme of 'Good Bad Ugly' / 'For a Few Dollars More' of Ennio Morricone?

Shank: 'Nenjathai Killadey' is definitely one movie in which the BGM was noticed by many. Again I don't remember the specifics but the BGM did contribute to the overall mood of the movie. There were some movies where cinematography and music are so intricately woven into the movie that without these two aspects the movie would not be as good as it was. 'Nenjathai Killadhey', 'Geetanjali' (Telugu), 'Nayagan', 'Bombay' etc. Maniratnam probably knew this better than anyone else and I personally feel that Mani's mediocre films are lifted a lot by these technicians.
