Dear Tamil Cinema, Please Stop With The Tasmac Songs And Women Bashing

Stalking glorified as a normal thing in Tamil movies

 

Lets talk about the other important factor, song lyrics; Kollywood lyrics has gone from bad to worse in the past years. We wonder why these movie makers feature songs with lyrics like:

‘Adida avala, odha da avala, vidra avala, thevaiye illa’ from Mayakkam Enna. We wonder how this song passed through the Censors. This song is about a man who is encouraging his friend to hit the girl who rejected him!

Why this Kolaveri di from Three. The song popularly known as the ‘soup song’ is considered the King of all love failure songs and the boys who have their hearts rejected by girls, came to be called ‘soup boys.’

– ‘Ayyo paavam ambala, nanum solla poren endha song la. Azhagai rasipadhu than aangalin virupamada, aathai kedupadhuthan pengalin pazhakamada.’ from Vellanu Vandha Vellakaran.

– ‘Endha ponnugale epdi than purinjipochu da’ from Varuthapadatha Vallibar Sangam.

– ‘Adiye ivaley, yen vazhaka pazhakka poranthavale’ from Romeo Juliet.

– ‘Sathiyama nee ennaku thevaye illa’ from Ethirneechal.

We are not kidding, in the film Trisha Illana Nayanthra, a song called Bittu Padam Di has these lyrics.

Trisha illana nayanthara JFW

 

 ‘Thaluka vandhu siluka, nee nightie ya than maatikunu, en pinju nejula mood ethure’ 

Bittu padam is common word for porn films and in the song, the hero is telling the heroine that she is like porn film to him.

The loud uproar over Simbu’s Beep song was because people were just fed up hearing these Tasmac songs. These so called ‘love failure’ songs where the hero is heartbroken after a fight with the heroine, goes to drink with his friends and bashes his girlfriend saying she cheated him, has become a must for every movie!

 

So Tamil Cinema, in these times where women empowerment and women equality is of paramount importance in India and globally, isn’t it time to stop with these senseless women bashing and degrading in movies? It is not just movie makers, even actors should take a moral responsibly and say no to such kind of movies and songs which disrespect women.
