THAT MOMENT OF PRIDE FOR INDIANS!
Mangalyaan is a top trending topic in India and worldwide after creating history by entering the orbit of Mars on its first attempt. So, here we have some moments of Tamil Cinema in Outer Space.
ENTHIRAN'S FUTURISTIC SETS...
Irumbile song has Chitti dancing with the robots in a set-up far away from the Earth. This typical magnum opus song from Shankar takes us to a futuristic, technologically advanced times of the world
VELAYUDHAM'S TRON WORLD !
Velayudham takes us to a world like Tron through the song Mayam Seidhano. The art direction and costumes need a special mention for convincingly carrying out a space in a different galaxy.
MUGAVARI'S SPACE SHUTTLE !
'Aandre Nootraande' is a very ambitious effort in terms of demanding visuals. Ajith Kumar boards a space shuttle and flees around the space. Mugavari did start the trend of fictionalized outer space song sequences.
MUNDASUPATTI'S METEOR COMING INTO THE STRATOSPHERE...
There is this meteor coming into the stratosphere from outer space. Thanks to Fox Star, the meteor looks real in Mundasupatti.
SUJATHA'S VIKRAM IS ABOUT A NUCLEAR CAPABLE BEING STOLEN!
The film Vikram by Sujatha has the closest resemblance to the topic of this week's slideshow. The movie is about a nuclear capable being stolen. Kamal Haasan playing Vikram, stops the extremely dangerous rocket from being launched.
IRANDAM ULAGAM'S ALTER WORLD...
Irandam Ulagam was definitely the very first authentic sci-fi flick in Tamil cinema talking about something other than Earth, to lead a life. This picture shows you the alter world in a different time-space we have no access to.
ANJALI'S OUTER SPACE TRAVEL !
Anjali was one such movie that went notches up on song visualizations and graphical influence, during the 90s itself. This 'Rathiri Nerathil' song is almost the Star Wars types high on outer space travel, teleportation and even aliens abduction.
THE ET CONCEPT OF ANJALI...
'Vegam Vegam' song from Anjali is another imaginative take on transcending the sky and travelling to the space. This shot, though resembling the ET concept of Spielberg, was much ahead of times highlighting the sky and space concept in Tamil Cinema.
