lucky pair rules Tamil cinema - Harris and Vikram



Actor Vikram and music director Harris Jayaraj are known as Tamil cinema's lucky pair. This summer, their fifth film together will be on the silver screen.

Music director Harris Jayaraj is composing an item number for the forthcoming big-budget Tamil movie Bheemaa.

The song to be picturised on Vikram and to be shot in Tuticorin has been sung by Kailash Kher.

This, Harris says, will be the only hat ke number in the album, that otherwise has all melody tracks.

"It is a mix of all genres. Bheemaa has space for lot of melody with peppy numbers," says Harris.

This will be the fifth Vikram starrer that Harris Jayaraj is composing for. The actor and composer seem to be lucky for each other Saamy and Anniyan for example have been huge hits.

"Harris is usually very modern like Rahman, very yuppy. But here in this movie, director Lingusamy is from Kumbakonam and not too much into class so here there is a nice mix of folk tunes with melody," said Vikram.

Harris who has worked with A R Rahman, now has many offers from Mumbai.

Though it comes as a surprise that Harris has not been approached for scoring the music for the Hindi remake of Ghazini starring Aamir Khan. Ghazini's music was the biggest hit of 2005.

Realism triumphs in Tamil cinema with 'Paruthi Veeran'


Director Amir's 'Paruthi Veeran' has been declared a blockbuster, more successful than Vijay's 'Pokkiri'. This is a great achievement for debutant hero Karthi Shivakumar and the director

The top five Tamil films are:

1. 'Paruthi Veeran' - Director: Amir. This is one of the most realistic films to hit the Tamil screens in recent times.


2. 'Mozhi' - Director: Radhamohan. Mozhi continues to have full shows in all the city theatres.

3. 'Pachaikili Muthucharam' - Director: Gautham Menon. The film is not going to be another 'Vettaiyadu Vilaiyadu'. But Sarath Kumar's natural performance is worth watching.

4. 'Thirumagan' - Director: A.M. Ratnakumar. This is yet another lousy film from actor S.J. Suryah. Only Meera Jasmine is watchable.

5. 'Pokkiri' - Director: Prabhu Deva. Nothing can stop Vijay starrer 'Pokkiri', which is on its way to breaking records.
