Sangamam

This film is the best Tamil film that showcases Tamil arts, music, dance, etc. The music is unmatched, by A. R. Rahman, and the sets are stunning. I wish a film like this would be made more often. This, along with Anniyan, showcases traditional South Indian arts in a way that no other film has achieved to such a level. Of course, there are some Masala elements, but every film has that. It was ahead of its time, and not appreciated enough in its time. It needs much more recognition, and we hope that Kollywood will start to make more of these again. Let's hope for these, as well as more of AR Rahman's beautiful modern-classical fusion soundtracks.
