Original lyrics seem to be turning to a trickle with the upsurge of remix of old melodies in recent Tamil films. Yuvan Shankar Raja used Rajini’s popular Aasai nooru vagai in his Kurumbu, En aasai Maithiliye in Manmadhan and an MKT hit in Arindum Ariyamalum. Similarly, Deva has used Mama…Mama from Kumudham in his Manikanda. The haunting Thenpandi seemaiyile in the Mani Ratnam movie, Nayakan has been remixed by R.G. Allen for Anbuthozhi.
