On the day of the Bhogi festival, a very young Kalyani gives birth to a boy, fearing societal backlash and incapacity, abandons him inside a moving goods train. The child grows up in tough conditions, intolerant of injustice, especially to the poor, and wonders why his biological mother abandoned him. No prize for guessing the movie – before you read further, how much do you like BLACK and did you know that it need not be Black !!
This song duet (by legends SP Balasubramaniam & K Jesudoss) – lyrics of Vaali – musical score of Isaignani Illayaraja :
காட்டுக்குயிலு மனசுக்குள்ளே, பாட்டுக்கென்றும் பஞ்சம் இல்லே பாடத்தான்
தவிலை தட்டு துள்ளிக்கிட்டு கவலை, விட்டு கச்சை கட்டு ஆடத்தான் ..
போடா எல்லாம் விட்டுத்தள்ளு; பழச எல்லாம் சுட்டு தள்ளு
புதுசா இப்போ பொறந்தோமுன்னு எண்ணிக்கொள்ளடா.. டோய்...
இந்தியக் குயில் (Cuculus micropterus) தென்னாசிய நாடுகளில் காணப்படும் குயில் இனம். குயில்கள் கூடு கட்டாமல் பிற பறவைகளின் கூடுகளில் முட்டையிடுபவை. இந்தியக் குயில் 33 சென்டி மீட்டர் வரை வளர்கிறது.
Kuyil, Koel, Cuckoo – is a songbird – when heard you may not exactly love that !! .. common perception is the common cuckoo (Cuculus canorus) is jet black in color resembling a Crow with red eyes ! .. .. some Cuckoos have a gray head with a thin, bright yellow ring around their eye, yellow feet and a black beak. They have dark grey plumage on their upper parts and barred plumage below which resembles the markings of the sparrowhawk. Some females are a rusty-brown color.
Thalapathi was released on a Deepavali day - 5 November 1991, and was a big commercial hit. Rajnikanth was so popular that the director Mani Ratnam would not allow his character to die in the movie, though the dialogues would say he would his life for friendship of Mammutty. Somewhere read that was the initial choice for the role of Arjun, the younger brother of Suriya but it was Arvindswami who played the role of collector to the hilt
Here is an Asial Koel (probably female kuyil) that visited by feeding yard this morning.
