There has been an increase in the rate of English used in Tamil Cinema, particularly in the titles of movies and in Song lyrics. Please post your views on this. Also, does anyone have any idea of any links to news regarding this matter? Thank You so much

  ROTFL@Paran! :-))
  
  btw...English words had found a place in tamil songs long ago(details about the FIRST song will be given by Saravanan!). Just that it is too explicitly visible these days due the extent to which it is used. Not healthy, but it seems inevitable.

  the old tamil film 'Anand' had songs with stanzas almost fully in english, if you dint realise.

  LLD,
  I guess you are watching Vijay TV on Saturday nights and coming to a wrong conclusion. Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee don't normally speak in Tamil! Avunga vaaya appadi kuvikkayil, aaro dubbing seyyaraango! :-)

  But there'll never be Tamil in English songs though, Hindi is in English Songs(Bombay Dreams..) In all its not an English album at all, About 3-4 songs have hindi and even 1 complete Hindi song

  I read an article from cinesouth.com about two weeks back that Tamil film saviour Dr.Ramdoss is going to be on a rampage about this issue, since the website is clutter i am not able to find the link easily.
  
  
  My views, yes i do have a view, hmm that is --- it goes like ---- ;)

  thaatha yaenga vekkathey,

  aruvadhil jollu vidaathey,
  paethikku red rose neetaathey!
  
  aiyyo thaatha poathum da (modern paeththis!), aiyyayyo thaatha poathum da!
