నిజం గా చాలా అద్భుతం గా ఉంది పాట.. నిజంగా చాలా ఆస్వాదించాం ఈ పాట విని. ఇలాంటి మరెన్నో పాటలు రావాలని మనస్ఫూర్తిగా కోరుకుంటున్నాను. పాట రాసిన రచయిత కు ధన్యవాదములు. సంగీతం సమకూర్చిన AR రెహమాన్ గారికి ధన్యవాదములు. ఇది తమిళ ధనానికి మరో నాంది. ఇది అందరి మనస్సులు గెలుచుకున్న గీతం 🤩🤩🤩

பால் போல் உள்ள வெண்ணிலவில் பார்த்தல் சிறு கரை இருக்கும் மலர் போல் உள்ள தாய் மண்ணில் மாறாத சில வலி இருக்கும் கண்ணிற் துடைக்கவேண்டும் உந்தன் கைகள் அதில் செழிக்க வேண்டும் உண்மைகள் இந்த தேசம் உயரட்டும் உன்னாலே மக்கள் கூட்டம் வரட்டும் உன் பின்னாலே அன்பு தாயின் மடி உன்னை அழைக்குதே தமிழா... உந்தன் தேசத்தின் குரல் தொலை தூரத்தில் அதோ செவியில் விழாதா... சொந்த வீடுன்னை வாவென்று அழைக்குதடா தமிழா...

Awesome video. I am a hardcore Chennaite. I have been pursuing my MBA in Delhi for the last 1 year. Every time I feel homesick I switch on KZbin and watch this video. And it makes me feel really good every single time. Hats off to Madras Photofactory :)

Chennai is THE CHENNAI... our modernization slowly taking our culture, beauty, lovely moments with family and friends.. another soul, missing Chennai.

[@miraroad13]

Lady Madras is indeed beautiful and what makes her Beautiful, is its people the true Madarasi. They decorate her with love, joy and labour. Her beauty is understood by her own and the adopted ones or someone like me a Passer by... Thank You Madras!!! God Bless Chennai and Chennaiite!!!

[@pInK-mz5dc]

Fabian Pinto thank you :) truly touched!

A lot of people (unfortunately) do not know the History of Madras. It started off as a Telugu village named ChennaPattanam, ruled by a Telugu Chieftan named Damarla Chennappa Nayudu -- His son later leased it to the British. Even today, there are a lot of people living in Chennai who have Telugu as the mother tongue. These people are native to Chennai, living here for about 300+ years and have Telugu as mother tongue(they are not recent immigrants !!). Madras served as the capital of both TN and Coastal AP (Madras State/Presidency) for at least 250+ years. The whole modern TN-AP story is only about 50 years old. We forget history too soon. And yes, Chennai is the first modern city of India, and IT IS COSMOPOLITAN BEYOND COMPREHENSION!!! Proud to be a Madras Telugu, Proud to be a fluent Tamil speaker and writer, and Proud to be a MADRAASI !!!

[@msel04]

Binoy Vudi Binoy, If you see the history of south india, lands have moved hands so many times from one kingdom to other. At one point of time, entire south india and parts of maharashtra was ruled by tamil cholas. So can tamils claim all these areas as theirs. It is not right and not acceptable in the present context. Isnt it. . you are right in one way that the british got this land from telugu nayak chieftain chennappa nayak and named it as chennapatnam.(telugu nayaks ruled entire tamil nadu during the period of vijayanagara empire and that is the reason we find large telugu population in TN) and developed it but the land from time immemorial had tamil population in majority. Thats why tamil nadu boundary with andhra starts almost 70 KM north of chennai. Ancient towns of thiruvalllikeni, thiruvottiyur and mylapore (core chennai areas) has tamil imprints from time immemorial. More over chenna is also a old tamil word. It is now widely used kannada word for good things. We had lot of tamil kings with names ending with chenni like chera king ilanchet chenni.

[@TheBinoyVudi]

msel04 You are absolutely right, my brother. Me missing points about the region changing hands (But almost 85 % of the time being under Tamil Kingdoms) does change the context of the comment. I am a Telugu, native to Tamil Nadu (My NATIVE PLACE IS NOT ANDHRA, but it is TAMIL NADU for atleast 5 generations). I should have mentioned that the no-mans' land at the time of creation of Fort S. George was under the rule of a Telugu ruler (at that particular point in time). kingdoms took turns ruling this region, and Tamil is definitely the mother of South Indian Civilization - We need to accept this. Whether we are native Tamil speakers or not. This comes from a Telugu-Tamil. I cannot call myself a Telugu, nor can I call myself a Tamil - I am a native of MADRAS for 300 years of my ancestry, and I speak both Tamil and Telugu fluently - the purpose of my comment was to reiterate the importance of Telugu in the history of Chennai, because that important part of history is forgotten by many.

[@Offbeat_Nomad]

We all r one race only brother... As a Tamilian I never consider Telugu, kannada, malayalam & tulu people are different... But just one regret when Hindi imposition comes to our south indian language... Only we tamil stood against that nobody has dare to oppose hindi apart from our people.

Balaji Maheshwar's work is great as usual. But the editing on this is mind-blowing. The subtle visual cues that go along with the soundtrack has been really well done.

[@sportzblaze]

I usually don't write any comment but this whole video was just heart touching you have justified 100% to ARR's tune and voice. Great work, so many talented people in this world.

For those who leave India, hear this song once. Just for some fancy Profile picture and foreign currency those who leave our country hear this once. Those who leave India say they will come back for sure, never return back.

[@sumanthkumar4094]

I loved it

[@Sp1noza]

First off let me just say I DO NOT take time to comment on videos on youtube but this is just beautiful. Great camera work , color correction and editing. I did feel the music was a bit off in the start but in the end it really worked for me. If I were the government I would hire you to do a India calling. Also what cameras/lenses did you shoot on and at what frame rate ?

[@spokesofmusic9299]

Nice video, but why the person touching the dog is holding a telugu paper?

[@SuperAdobeFlash]

good observation . I saw that too .........

[@presymarauder]

Maybe to tell that Madras is not just for Tamils as the song goes and being a Metropolitan, it is home to people of many other languages too?
