Best Picturisation/Choreography

Technological advances have been best made to use in Tamil films. Generally, it is accepted that Tamil films are miles ahead at least in terms of technology, when compared with films of other languages. The trend of having group dancers accompanying the lead pair in overseas locations continued into 2006 and is expected to also remain so in 2007!

Hubbers picks this time were:

Chithiram Pesuthadi's immensely popular vaala meenukkum
Dishyum's soulful nenjangootil neeyE nirkkiraai
Parijatham - unnai kandEnE
Sillunu oru Kaathal's new york nagaram
Vallavan's hip hop loosu penne
Varalaaru - innisai alabadaiye and kaatril
Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu - title song karkka karkka and manjal veyyil
Veyyil - GV Prakash's awesome entry of veyilOdu vilaiyaadi

So what captured our Hubbers imagination?

vaali sir deserves it

Best Female Singer

As far as 2006 is concerned, established singers such as Chitra and Anuradha Sriram hardly sang enough songs to merit interest. Hindi singers Shreya Ghosal and Sadhana Sargam gained stronger foothold in Tamil film. Many new voices like Sangeetha (dailamO), Sonu Karkar (dhinam dhinam deepavali) and Sunidhi Chauhan (vallava ennai vellavaa) continued to grace Tamil cinema.

The big question, of course is who will win this coveted award.

Results

'Vaala meenukkum' turned out to be a disaster (3%), and 'Loosu penne' could muster only 8%.

Only 5 songs got vote percentage in double digits. Notable among them was the upset 'New york nagaram' (11% votes) - audience were obviously not too impressed with the picturisation! 'Veyyilodu' (veyil) also had 11%. The surprise third comer was 'unnai kandene' from Paarijaatham.. Looks like all the lakhs that went into the CG and all were well worth it!

The contest finally came to between the two tamil ilakkiya songs: "Karka Karka" (VV) and "Innisai alabedaiye" (GF)...

And the winner is:

Innisai Alabedaiye (Varalaaru)

"Innisai" got 21% votes narrowly beating "Karka Karka" (19%). Was that a contest between choreographers or the heroes?

Best Lyricist

Millions throughout the world are linked together in this forum through their love for Tamil songs. What are songs if not sheer poetry. Tamil Filmdom has produced just not lyricists (paadalaasariyar) but amazing poets (kavignar) too.

And what a feast they provided us throughoout 2006.
Kudos to Vaali, Vairamuthu, Muthulingam, Mu Metha, Arivumathi, Pazhani Bharathi, Pa Vijay, Na Muthukumar, Thamarai, and many others.

In the running for THE Lyricist of the year, we have veterans like Vaali and Vairamuthu and also Naa. Muthukumar. Thaamarai, a favourite of Gowtham Menon is also in the race, while the surprise newcomer is none other than Silambarasan for his creation of loosu pennE.

With so many lyricists and thousands of songs, who will be the Lyricist of the year?

"வாலி"

கவிஞர் வாலியே....
வாளி வாளியாய் கவிதைகளை அள்ளித்தரும்
கவிதை வள்ளலே

நீ என்றைக்குத் தோற்றாய்... இன்றைக்கு வெல்வதற்கு
என்றைக்கு வந்தாயோ அன்று முதல் இன்று வரை
வென்றுகொண்டே இருக்கிறாய்...!!.

உன் பகழ்க்கொடி உயர உயர
பறந்துகொண்டே இருக்கிறது
எவரெஸ்டில் நின்று கொண்டு
அதை விட உயரம் எங்கே என்று தேடுகிறாய்.

'தரைமேல் பிறக்க வைத்தான்' என்று எழுத
தலை குனிந்த உன் எழுதுகோல்
இன்னும் தலை நிமிரவில்லை
அன்றைக்கு நிமிர்ந்த உன் தலை
இன்னும் குனியவில்லை... என்றும் குனியாது

அன்று கண்ணதாசனோடும் போட்டிக்களத்தில் நின்றாய்
இன்றைக்கும் நிற்கின்றாய்... சும்மா நிற்கவில்லை
வென்றுகொண்டே நிற்கின்றாய்
இன்றைய இளம் கவிஞர்களின் பேரன்களோடு
நாளைய போட்டிக்களத்திலும் நிற்பாய்.. வெல்வாய்

கவியுலக மார்க்கண்டேயா
உன் புகழை அண்ணாந்து பார்க்கிறேன்
தங்கையின் கழுத்து வலிக்கிறது.
