Re: [arr] Re: best choreographed song ?
Oh yes, Gayathri! Not sure how I missed Iruvar. Great choreography except may be for Kannai Katti which lacked uniqueness but I guess the script needed it to replicate an MGR movie in that song.

[arr] Re: best choreographed song ?
Vimal, whilst I like Shankar's stuff I till think Mani tops him for reasons you mentioned : his songs are a piece of art. No need for grandeur sets or exotic locations. Alaipayuthey is also another example. So is Roja. And Thiruda Thiruda like many others mentioned on this thread. Loved Thee thee and Chandralekha. Also loved Behene De (Usure Pohuthey) in Raavan. Hey goodbye nanba from AE. And the mother of all choreography- Dil Se. Classy stuff -these are the type of songs that you listen to immediately remember the way it was shot. I love Mani's style. :) Shankar does well too but I am not much of big sets grand locations person.

@Indmov Buff, While I think Shankar choreographs the best...i agree with you about "Kannathil Muthamittal"..each and every song (and video) was a piece of art, and most importantly, blended with the music and the story of the film...Mani's best choreography to date (in the sense that it blends in w/ the movie...I also think its his best film additionally, the movie has one of ARR's best scores (what Indians call BGM)) --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Indmov Buff wrote: > > Kannathil muthamittal!
