Dear Friends,
All Sridhar movies share a common feature of presentation, the delectable angles which come in ,pause a few moments before vanishing out. Throughout, Nenjil ore aalayam the squeezing high drama has been rendered in aptly lit "lateral angles" to capture the pathos. It was truly a novelty as frontal close-ups were deemed ideal by most TF directors. Later it proved a big value in enhancing the presentability of sharp nasal contours and emotionally vibrant cheeks.
Let us recall how Rajasree's exuberant mood was elegantly scripted by the "fronto-lateral" oblique choice that picked messages said and unsaid in that gorgeous "Anubavam pudumai" in K Neramillai.
In Vennira aadai, "Enna enna vaarthaigalo", another facial angle of Jayalalitha [ tapping her index finger on her elbow] proved a powerful shot for captivating publicity not only for this movie but for various other marketing of products for over 3 years or so.
Another famous presentation of Kanchana zoomed her into stardom by that half tilted face in the lawn of Marina in "Enna parvai" of K Neramillai.
In most sequences in Avaluukenru oru manam, different styles of picturisations of Bharathi and Kanchana were done to portray their attitudes as 2 comparable friends in incomparable shells of mind.
All Sumai thaangi songs have been picturised by exceptionally artistic view points to establish the mood. Same has been the treatment in Kalai kovil. The smoke laden bar room in "Varavendum" song in this movie had been presented in jazzy mood true to CVS's touch.
One can go on listing items from Sridhar movies just to suggest the value of skillful presentation.
Warm regards Prof. K.Raman Navi Mumbai.
