Difficult to imagine a movie without a song. Films like Kuruthi poonal are exceptions. Songs add the much needed relief and color to a movie and good songs are hummed by most of us long aftet the movie is consigned to the archives . Movies are made to provide entertainment, I fully agree. The format of indian movies is what is questioned.
Movies are too powerful a medium in shaping how people think.
This is the bad part of songs in films. Pesum Padam, did not have any songs, neither did Kurudhi punal. These movies did make quite an impact. If we look at the past, we even had over 20 songs during MKT days. IMHO, it will be monotonous, unless the story and dialogue are so good and the acting is extremely good to keep the audience allured.
