The films/cinemas in India have provided a wonderful platform for
music. Film music had a far greater reach than any other medium.
Initially the film songs had a strong classical touch. Gradually a
lighter tone was introduced, leading finally to the current fast hard
music. There is a belief that film music is substandard. Through the
ages, however, the film industry greats (composers, lyricists, singers)
have produced several masterpieces, gems that would continue to give
pleasure to generations to come. Every regional language has its share
of greats.
In this section, I am providing a list of old Tamil film songs - listing
and lyrics. I am working gradually on this section. Please check for
updates. The information has been collected from lyrics' books, my audio
collection and audio related sites on the net. (Whenever in doubt, I have marked the text in red and would appreciate
any assistance from knowledgeable people in providing correct
details.) Films - Alphabetical listing
