Reports
about music wizard A R Rahman’s
career being at the crossroad seems
highly exaggerated. He has made
a fantastic comeback in Tamil through
Sillunu Oru Kathal.
After a none too impressive show
in his last Tamil venture ‘Ah
Aah’, the young but veteran
music composer, who has become highly
sought after in the international
arena too, has come out with renewed
energy in ‘Sillunu Oru Kadhal’.
The spelling of its title was changed
to make it more like a Tamil film
to get tax exemption!

The
audio released last weekend is selling
like hot cakes. As per information
from the two of leading music outlets
in Chennai, i.e Landmark and Music
World, the cassettes are fast vanishing
from their shelves compared to other
audio releases, and they are expecting
a record sale. Rahman has come out
with seven sizzling songs targeting
youths. The pick of the lot are
“New York Nagaram” and
“Munbe Va”, and Vaali’s
lyrics as usual add strength to
Rahman’s work.

| With
several young music composers including
Yuvanshankar, Harris Jayaraj, Joshua Sridhar,
and many more waiting to jump into the fray,
it needed a special effort from Rahman to
reassert his supremacy. Rahman has responded
to the pressure and has come up with a mix
of melody and fast numbers.
Rahman’s other project Manirathnam’s
‘Guru’ is expected to hit the
stands by Deepavali and with Sillunu Oru
Kadhal rocking the city, the magician is
back.
