Anbae peranbae - the poetic portray of affair

Are you go to the movies just by loving the movie song?

Yes! Usually, we witness the songs before the movie. The songs themselves made us push to watch. Some movies disappoint us by having good songs but poor stories. Some of our favorite songs don't have an appropriate situation makes us more unsatisfied with the Movie.

Here is "Anbe peranbae" from the movie NGK which completely takes us to another level of storytelling with the usual duet song method. In selvaraghvan’s Movie, we didn't encounter the duet songs that take us out of the story. But in this movie, he chooses the duet songs to portray their forbidden relationship poetically. Let’s see more about the beauty of this song in the blog.

What's Peculiar about Anbae peranbae??

Firstly, let me tell you about the uniqueness of Anbae Peranbae, where most of the duet songs failed to play their role in the movie.

Speaking - the Placement of this song in the movie explains more about the characters' relationship where Kumaran spent time with vanathi alone in her private room. This song replaces the romance portion of these two characters, which we might find odd and morally inappropriate. But Director Selvaraghavan wants us to experience their romance poetically. This song makes us feel their closeness with the song's lyrics, dance, and even the places subtly showing their relationship secrecy.

Magical lyrics and their visuals

The lyrics clearly explain the characters' mood and their love where vanathi's love towards Kumaran and Kumaran's replies to it. While dialogues in these movies never show her love directly towards him. If we fail to observe the lyrics, then her love towards him remains relatively unnoticed by us.

In the movie, the scene between them doesn't reveal much about their relationship straightaway. The Lyrics and visuals of this song alone explain their relationship that is hidden from the movie. Lyrics explain vanathi’s love more than him. The lyrical of his reply adore her and spend with her. The visual of his loneliness shows his guilt about this relationship, Where she calls him from far away shows her interest in him. He is with her for its political benefits.

Their lonely places

When it comes to duet songs, the places are usually unreasonable. The place of the duet song is not relevant to the story. Unlike other songs, the places of this song portray their privacy which is hidden from others. The places are also show their intimacy which usually preferred by couples.

Dance

The dance movements of those characters also reveal their relationship artistically. It explains the characters' moods and interests in each other.

Vanathi's dance would be happier than Kumaran's dance and related lyrics of the song. whereas Vanathi's dance reflects her joy with him. On the contrary, Kumaran's dance wouldn't be romantic. Although earlier with his wife, he possess a happy face and enjoyed his time with her. In this song, his mood throughout the songs will be so numb, like always having thought of something. While their dancing more looks like their lovemaking, Where Kumaran would leave their dance halfway, showing his involvement is partial, More like one with benefits, not a truly happy one, unlike Vanathi; that's why he is rather half-minded.

The bottom line; If we didn't understand this song, we would miss the important storyline of these two characters.

If we fail to know their relationship, his wife's doubts and their fights would leave us clueless. The relationship with her shows us that Kumaran's character changes from the beginning. If we miss noticing his secret relationship, the evilness of his character is kept unnoticed. The songs also play along with the story. Selvaraghavan just portrayed the secret affair with a beautiful song.
