Madhan Karky’s lyrical reflections!

For a project that he was involved with almost one and a half year back, lyricist Madhan Karky still remembers intimately his engaged on Naan Ee.“Director Rajamouli approached me immediately after the discharge of Endhiran. He had strong concepts for every song, explained to me the significance of the song within the film’s narrative, gave me detailed profiles of the characters, or even enacted a couple of scenes, which later came in handy when writing lyrics,” Karky recalls.

Like for instance, the placement for Veesum Velichathiley…, by Karthik, goes like this. The woman is more into her art — micro-sculpting. One night, as she’s working, the ability goes off. The hero, who lives opposite to her house, uses dish antennas as reflectors and creates a mild source that he beams it into her house and she or he stars smiling and continues her work.

“Because Rajamouli had told me that the heroine is into micro-sculpting, which involves working with a magnifying glass (a detail which later brilliantly comes into play within the latter a part of the script) and pencils, I MAY weave these elements into the song and use lines like Nun silai seidhidum pon silaiyae/ pencilai seevidum pen silaiye and Un boothakannadi thevai illai/ en kaadhal nee parka kan podhume. Rajamouli felt they truly brought out the lovelorn nature of the character,” says the lyricist.

He adds that Konjam Konjam… is a “personal song featuring the hero”, which proves to be an inspiration for heroine for her sculpture, and Lava Lava…, that's from the villain’s perspective. Karky reveals, “Eeda Eeda… is a promotional song that’s child-friendly with simplistic lyrics. It explains the angle of a housefly who wants revenge.”
