Here’s the first of many from the list of Mani Ratnam’s films. Here’s a song from Panakkaran in which the man himself gives an idea of how a wedding can be successful irrespective of how the couple can be poles apart in nature. In this song, he plays a band master who’s performing for a wedding in the hopes of one day getting his sister married off the same way.Īnd of course, no list of Tamil wedding Songs to dance can be complete without a Rajinikanth reference in it. Yet another one from the classics’ vault and this time it’s from the other legend of Tamil cinema, MGR. Poomazhai Thoovi Vasantham – Ninaithadhai Mudippavan (1975)

The Sivaji Pasamalar is an ode to brother-sister sentiment and the song personifies the joy of the bridesmaids who welcome the bride by preparing her to be a wife starrer. Vaarayo Thozhi Vaarayo – Pasamalar (1961)

Here we go with the list of best Tamil wedding songs to dance for, or should I say getti melam getti melam. So here’s my list of the 20 best wedding songs that captures and displays the emotions of everyone involved in a Tamil wedding. Weddings, especially the ones in our sub-continent, are nothing without songs and dance.

Right from a person’s birth (in the form of thalaatu) to his death (in the form of oppari), we have songs for every occasion which are part of our tradition and whenever good or bad happens, there’s always a song that could elevate our mood to a whole new level. But something else that’s inbred in us is the custom of singing and dancing. Indian weddings are known for its colours, culture, drama, emotions and of course…. It isn’t a walk in the park (or aisle) and exchanging rings in a silent place of worship but a collage of different customs and traditions that comes together in the form of ‘controlled chaos’ where the fun and frolic starts even before the sun gets to work and goes on till the moon hides beyond the horizon. The big differentiator between Indian weddings and the western counterparts is the complexity that’s involved in wrapping up one.
