PICKPOCKET - THE HONEST POLICEMAN(POLICE THEME)

video

After becoming a policeman, he becomes quite famous, because of his honesty and hardwork. Silksmitha also has a nice role as a honest policewoman. This is one of the scenes that shows how honest he is, irrespective of his dark past.

This theme is used to represent the honest police officer. This theme is used at specific scenes involving the police Sathyaraj , like the scene, where he eventually has finished his training and also when a heartbroken Sathyaraj encouraged by Silksmitha's words, decides to come back to work, after he indulges himself in drink, because of a broken heart.

PICKPOCKET - LOVE THEME

video


This is the love theme in the pickpocket movie. It was directed by Manivannan and the typical lollu kind of comedy that one would expect from a Sathyaraj movie. [ not so much as the Nadigan kinds.. ] . Sathyaraj and Radha are both pickpockets and fall in love and decide to get married. But fate doesn't allow them to do that.

A fatal incident for which Radha feels responsible, makes them do one last crime, before they give up all their past and start on a new life. The result - Sathyaraj has to attend this interview and become an inspector. [ The police ask him the most important question - "Who should a policeman be afraid of?" . He replies - "To their wives". The panel is impressed by his justifications and he clears the interview.]

At this point , up until he meets Radha, the normal trumpet music of the police department is played in the background. He then meets Radha and they do some happy romancing. A few seconds later, it is time to depart. A sad scene - here again Raja plays the same BGM theme. This is Raja's speciality. There is one point in the scene, when Sathyaraj opens the parcel and sees some stars , Raja embeds the police BGM again here. The scene immediately changes to romance again.

A BGM theme that he composes for any film, takes care of all emotions , involved in the film. This is true for all the BGM themes that he has composed. See, in this clip itself, there are various emotions involved ( happiness of getting the job , sorrow of departure , Radha's love when she talks of their future and her pride when she hears Sathyaraj telling her how successful he would become) , and see how cleverly he varies the instruments and the tempo in accordance with the various human emotions involved. It is the same BGM theme, literally through out the whole clip.

On coming to know, that his grandfather has announced that Radhika will replace him, he feels angry and disappointed, mainly because, he was supposed to the apple of his grandfather's eye.
