The list of
65th National Award winners have been unfurled...
Village Rockstars grabbed the attention of many and late actress
Sridevi got the
Best Actress award!
Take Off, Baahubali 2, Bhayanakam, Irada, Walking with the Wind and Nagar Kirtan were the other notable names on the list.
Every field has multiple winners for various movies, but Music, an exception!
Both '
Best Music Direction' and '
Best Background Score' goes to
'Mozart of Madras' AR Rahman!!!
Best Music Direction for Mani Ratnam's
Kaatru Veliyidai and Best Background Score for
MOM!
When you take Kaatru Veliyidai and MOM, they failed to collect a huge out of Box office, yet they are musically rich!
Addictive Azhagiye,
Magical Vaan,
Trippy Jugni,
Festive Saarattu,
SpanishTango,
And, Pleasing Nallai,
Made Kaatru Veliyidai, a breezy album!
The Background score was handled by AR Rahman's talented Qutb-e-Kripa crew!
Here are some scenes, where the Background Score reached its zenith.,
- Kargil War (Opening scene)
- Snow Storm
- At jail (remembering the past)
- Van Chase after escape from jail
- Traveling to nowhere (in search of love) and much more...
There was an Islamic touch throughout the sequences at Pakistan.
Certainly, the album topped the iTunes chart of Indian subcontinent!
AR Rahman got
Shashaa Tirupati her first National Award for
Best Female Playback Singer, for her beautiful rendition in '
Vaan Varuvaan'!
Only AR Rahman can pick up the best and bring out their best! (The best examples are
Unnikrishnan, Shankar Mahadevan, Udit Narayan, Naresh Iyer, Shreya Ghoshal, etc.)
Coming to
MOM,
- 'Raakh Baaki' kickstarted (initial tune with "hey" chorus) in the opening scene at school, a perfect start to the film!
- 'Freaking Life' was really freaky like it's name with a Party scene on the go.
- The very next scene, where some strangers physically abuse Sridevi's daughter had a slow and horrific tune played at the background, that was quiet scary!
- The scene, when Sridevi chases one of the rapists, started with a racy BGM and suddenly drops down, when Sridevi crashes with another vehicle. What a changeover!
- When Sridevi goes to the homes of rapists secretly to plot their deaths, the music played at the backdrop of these scenes makes us feel nervous and sometimes jerks us off!
- It gives us a feel that, as if we are there at that place!
- An another scene, where Sridevi's daughter feels a sigh of relief (but unable to express her joy) after seeing the news of the death of one of the rapists (who spoiled her), the background score in this particular scene melted our hearts!
- 'O Sona Tere Liye', sung by ARR was soulful, and a best fitting track to that particular situation, when Sridevi's family goes on a trip to overcome the disasters, the hard times of their lives! The song stirs the heart and brings a peace of mind!
- The Climax scene, where the antagonist comes in search of Sridevi and her family to kill them had a different kind of horror tune, especially when Sridevi struggle to breathe (after her face was covered by the villain).
AR Rahman's experimental background score for MOM is well-deserved for the National Award!
The wait begins for the next Oscars for
Beyond the Clouds...
Already, the album has become the #1 bestseller in
Amazon!
