It has been something that has thoroughly explored in Kollywood cinema.

The objective would be to do it differently within the realm of the story and the premise. How would you approach something with a fantasy element, a dream song sequence? Your philosophy towards songs is that it shouldn’t stand out from the narrative the background score creates - some of your famous hits have been montage songs. It is not that I don’t like songs - I prefer when they are placed when there is need for it. “Yaanji” happened when we decided to add lyrics to a musical montage - songs should be placed when there is space for it.

With films like Vikram Vedha or Iravuku Ayiram Kangal, there were no songs at the start. I don’t differentiate between songs and background scores - I see it as musical content for a film. The emotions are transilient - there is love, suspense or something else that you have to hint at musically. Say it is a love song, the entire song will be about love. Our minds get into a preset when we consume songs - that we will get only one emotion from it. Didn’t we enjoy Hans Zimmer’s music in Interstellar? There are no songs in the film. But good music doesn’t necessarily have to be in the form of songs. Some songs sound amazing as an instrumental or a remake (almost better than the original) or the song has been modernised to fit a modern Indian/SriLankan/Tamil wedding, I have provided some links for this too.When you think commercially or in terms of hit value, it is true songs matter.
