The rise of OTT viewing may possibly accelerate this trend given that viewers could do better than to head out of the theater for a quick smoke/samosa during a song - they could simply fast-forward. Even the busy Santhanam who had three releases in 2021, seemed to have lost interest in songs by his 3rd film in 2021, Sabhaapathy, which had just two songs, compared to Parris Jeyaraj, with five songs, and Dikkiloona with four songs. We should have realized it when Mani Ratnam, a director known for his hugely imaginative song picturizations, chose to use the many songs of the soundtrack largely as background sounds in his last film, Chekka Chivantha Vaanam. That doesn’t sound promising for an annual music round-up, of course, but Tamil cinema may simply be seeking inspiration from its Malayalam counterpart that is ahead of the curve in terms of treating songs as a distraction in story-telling. There used to be a template for Tamil films earlier - ‘4 fights and 6 songs’, but songs may join other potentially defunct features like fights, foreign locations, duets where the leads lip-sync, and so on. We may be witnessing a very early trend in Tamil cinema where songs aren’t entirely necessary in the larger scheme of things. That both these films had popular heroes who are known for their songs did not stop the directors from not having the standard quota of 4-6 songs.

Another successful film, Doctor, had just three songs - the least number of songs among all movies that starred Sivakarthikeyan in the lead and he produced this movie too, incidentally. One of this year’s successful films, Maanaadu, had one song (for context: no other film starring Silambarasan in the lead had only one song). Lokesh’s 2021 release, Master, had the mandatory six songs, though. Kaithi was one of the most successful films of 2019, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, featuring one of the leading stars of Tamil cinema, Karthi.
