Remembering earlier eras?

Topic started by Shakthiprabha. on Tue Oct 17 7:07:10 2006.

Do u ppl feel, the current generation ARE AWARE OF earlier gen movies or actors or their credits?

Do u think there are enough sites, websites, songs, talks bout old movies here in internet?

I feel, when we talk bout hindi, may it be old movies, old songs, old actors pictures, actresses pictures, U TYPE THEM U FIND THEM.

Is it the same way with tamil?

I find many young men and women boys n girls, singing old songs in hindi antaksharis and general other hindi games. Does the younger gen (tamil boys n girls) know any song before 1980z? (leave 1960z! atleast 80z)

Why is there a disinterest shared among the curr generation (esp when we have enough datas, medias to browse and know) regarding knowing and appreciating older works?

I like loads of songs even in the 60s..KV Mahadevan's classical/carnatic songs are a must of mine..his veenai mesmerises me and of course IR songs as well..especially his village folk songs.

The reason for the disinterest is that as time moves on, new things also attract the generation that come with the time. For the current generation..new sounds and music are likely to attract them because of the way it suits their lifestyle...which is why ARR,YSR,HJ are in the pulse of youngsters. But if one hears music of olden times which can surpass the music created by them like IR's ilaya nila which sounds like a song composed today...then they might give it a listen as well.

One thing we must know is that we cant ask them why you dunt like songs of olden era. Just like those who born in that era grew up with such songs...the people who are born in this era will grow up with songs of ARR and co...and then this will be continued in another era where new sounds will mesmerise that generation. It is a sort of sequential likes.

Very Happy

Iam just 25 & i luv to know the works of 80's & late 70's....

yesterday i heared some songs from ulagam sutrum valiban & rickshawkaaran... still it is fresh...

after this i got interested to listen some MGR songs also.

Huulk,

we grew up listening to IR.
Yet we never left out KV, MSV, SUDHARSHAN ETC. (even when tv just emerged and internet was not there.... JUST VIVIDH BHARATHI WAS ENOUGH for us to stick to old songs too)

raja rasigan, thats nice to know.

It's actually a very good topic SP !!

If yo're thinkin the current generation has forgot legends like MGR, Sivaji, MSV, etc ... I'm thinkin they've actually forgotten the more recent ones like Rajini, Kamal, IR, and ARR himself (who's relatively not the previous generation at all) !!!

Oh wait, not to forget another lengend from a recent thread !! Manirathnam !!

Nice topic Sp Akka

I am already in the process of doing my best for our generation of guys around.

Some gems of Mellisai Mannar MSV , I am picking and posting them in his thread.

Besides, i also contribute a bit in Puratchi thalaivar thread.

Oflate, I am worried that some may even forget Isainyani and his old compos.

So , I am doing my bit in his thread also.

thx nakeeran.

bayarea,

very true

even 80z seem too far for most of them

nakeeran,

I CANT EVEN FIND NICE PICTURES OF OLD ACTRESSES TO SPORT IN AVTAR (may it be 60z or 80z)

Excellent topic sakthi akka : thumbsup:

I too thought of discussing the same. I can say people who are not aware or who couldn't enjoy the old songs or movies are really unlucky.

I love to watch old movies to know much about the culture, costumes, language used in those days.

Dear SP,
Nice topic. Indha nalla kaariyathai TV Channels nanragavae seigiradhu.

Adhanal, avan automatic aga nam period vishayathil interest agi invove agi therindhu kolgiran.

TV channels ---- olden days cinema and songs ai nanragavae telecost seigirargal.Thanks to TV.

CHinna example -- i happened to watch the film "Bhommai"

Indha padathai naan ennudaiya chinna vayadhil oli chithiramaga kettu irukiren.Ippodhu dhan tv il parka sandharmpam kidaithadhu.

Padam parka arambitha udan, en son bore enru sonnan.

"Ippodhu cell moolamaga easy aga contact panna mudiyum.Adhanal unaku bore aga theriyum.Phone illadha culture il , indha kadhai enru par.Unaku interest aga irukum "

En ammaku sandhosham naan parkirenae enru ( en amma indha padam parka kupita podhu naan varavillai enru koori viten. he he he he.)

padam mudindha pin. adhil nadithavargalai Director miga azhaga introduce seidhar.Ammavukae surprise.Idhai naan parthadhau illaiyae " enru.

Adhil naditha sila per youngster aga parthaen.

Gopala krishnan,maali innum sila per.

KJY, PS. LR - Ivargalai ellam youngster aga parthen.Really nice to watch.

So, elders kathu kodukanam. Youngsters therindhu kollanam.Idhu en personal opinion.

With Love,
Usha Sankar.

From: hot_sdeva on Tue Oct 24 8:47:11 2006.

Always "Old is gold"
There are many young people like old movies and ol artists like mgr Sivaji Sarojadevi, Savithiri, and still their many films and songs frequently broadcast in TV channel
i heard the song in padakotti "Padukku padethu" with MGR Sarojadevi brocadst more than 1000 times in one tv channel
Even untill now the best pair in tamil cinema MGR Sarojadevi,even younger generation also like them, so they are ever green
