Aaromale - Song of the Year



I have a strong feeling that the song 'Aaromale' from the movie 'Vinnai Thandi Varuvaya' (VTV) is going to win a few awards this year.

Every time I listen to this song, I get goosebumps. Alphonse's rendition, his emotions and the wonderful BGM by Rahman makes this song a classic.

This is the first song of Alphonse that I am listening to. He is a great talent. I read that he has done a few films in Malayalam. I am not sure though if he has sung in Malayalam or any other language.

Here are the award possibilities:

1) National Award
  • National Award - Song of the year
  • National Award - Best Singer
  • National Award - Best Music Director

2) Tamil Nadu State award
  • Best Song
  • Best Music Director
  • Best Singer

3) Kerala State award ( This is funny )
  • Best Malayalam song - From a Tamil movie?
  • Best Singer
  • Best Music Director - Tamil movie but...a Malayalam song !
I have a feeling that option-3 is most likely. Why?
  • AR. Rahman was born in Kerala but he doesn't do music for Malayalam films. It will be a pride to honor the Oscar and Grammy winner.
Option-2 is unlikely - Why?
  • Sheer Tamil pride. How can an award be given to a Malayalam song ...though it is from a Tamil movie.
