1)
Elamaikku: (Sonu Nigam)
Sonu Nigam, the popular singer in Bollywood has sung
this slightly westernized song. The composition of Ilayaraja
in this song remembers you the early songs of him like
‘Raja…Rajathi Raja’ in Agni Nackshtram.
But still the song is good and it will attract the people
who like fast numbers.
2) Kaatril
Varum Geetham: (Hariharan, Shreya Ghoshal, Bhavatharini,
Ilayaraja, Sadhana Sargam)
From the long list itself you can understand how the
song would be! But don’t imagine this to be a
peppy song. It is full of delicate rhythm with the power
of the singers. The music has added beauty to the song.
The lyrics are written well for the song. A conventional
and a soft song from the heart of Ilayaraja.
3) Enna Pattu
Vendum: (Sonu Nigam)
Sonu’s second song out of the three songs he sung
in this film. This shows the faith that the Maestro
has got on him. The song is slightly different and it
also bears some resemblance to some old song. The song
is little bit peppy and it is fast throughout. Sonu’s
voice has been used differently but it sounds good.
4) Khajiraho:
(Hariharan, Shreya Ghosal)
A beautiful melody song! The duo had put all their efforts
to get the song in a right manner. Hariharan, no need
to say anything about him. He has sung many such songs
in this manner and it is just a cakewalk for him. Shreya
is doing a good job in the recent past and she has proved
her caliber. A typical Ilayaraja’s orchestration!
5) Konjam
Thira: (Sonu Nigam, Shreya Ghosal)
Another melody! Sonu has taken up a melody song this
time and he is the cent percent match for this song.
The music is also not so heavy, a soft melody. The song
will have a soothing effect on you.
6) Ponkita
Mapilae: (Tippu, Manjusri)
A gana type! Today’s fashion is to have atleast
one gana in the album. A little displease that Ilayaraja
is also adopting that style. But, the song has been
sung well by Tippu in accordance with the music. Manjusri
has done her job fairly and not to the maximum extent
possible.
7) Kaatril
Varum Geetham: (Bhavatharani, Shreya Ghosal)
The same song already mentioned above! But this has
got only the female leads. Bhavatharani exactly fits
to the song and Shreya’s voice is also good.
