  9. arunvis says:

    Most of these bits have the movie name in the file info when played in Windows Media player!

  10. S Anand says:

    You’re right. I’ve fixed that now.

  11. capriciously_me says:

    awesome fun :) 1, 13 and 26 please?

  12. S Anand says:

    1 is a film starring Prabhu, 2: Kamal and 3: Suresh

  13. Anonymous says:

    the clue u ve gvn s wrong.2nd s a movie starring karthik and 3rd s the one wth ramarajan

  14. S Anand says:

    Sorry, I meant 1, 13 and 26 respectively.

  15. Sathya says:

    thalaiva … thats just great collection. BTW, if you have the BGMs alone, could you put them as well ?

  16. Sathish says:

    The Quiz was great..I saw ur site today..I have completed 28..if you could give another 5 more seconds of music for the songs 10 & 11, i would appreciate

  17. S Anand says:

    Sathish, 10 and 11 are both Kamal movies. Does that help?

  18. Sathya says:

    Have you written the common.js yourself ? thats great. I would like to re-use/flick the “maptamil” function. You are quite wicked that you use one way SHA1 hash … there is no way to hack the answer (is there a way ?). So pls do post the answers ;-(

  19. S Anand says:

    Yeah, wrote mapTamil myself. Took me 2 weeks of testing on raaga.com — feel free to reuse!

  20. S Anand says:

    The reason I picked SHA1 instead of MD5 was that it’s tougher to crack. It can be done, but in about 2 power 69 calculations

  21. Sathish says:

    I figured out all the 30 movies..was a good quiz..Great work!!

  22. vijay says:

    This is awesome work … nice pics …I got 20 … @5 …know the song ..dunno the movie … Can’t wait for your 90s and 2000 list … when can we expect that .. I can give you a list of these kind of marquee songs that people are expected to find in

  23. Muthuraman says:

    great work. keep going.

  24. Archana says:

    Anand, i want answers to this puzzle. Can you please help?

  25. sundar says:
