A ground breaking attempt from a
young team; an attempt that came
up trumps. Don’t raise your
eyebrow after reading ‘young
team’ in a sentence about
a movie that featured Kamal Haasan
and Mohanlal. The team that created
the ‘Vaanam Ellai’ video
consisted of Shruthi Haasan, Blaaze
and Akshara Haasan. Now you know
why it was called a young team.
The concept of an album song which
has no connection to the actual
movie but promotional purposes has
been around for quite some time
now. In fact, Sasikumar had introduced
it in Subramaniapuram with a degree
of success. But, Vaanam Ellai has
taken this to a while new level.
The setting itself was unique; no
bright lighting, normally mundane
things like phone booths and autorickshaws
used as settings and (the best touch)
having stills and posters from the
movie in the background. Very innovative
and effective. |
