Produced
by Ramakrishna, directed by M.Prabhu, starring Jai,
Vijayalakshmi, Nizhalgal Ravi, Lollu Sabha Jeeva and
Nithya. The music composer for the movie is Premgi Amaran,
who has offered us five songs.
Toshiba...
Vocals: Premgi
Amaran.
Lyrics: Lalithanandh
Smile-worthy lyrics extolling friendship on one hand
and suggesting how to woo girls on the other! A jolly
ditty is what we have here, with stylish inputs from
the trumpet, guitar( quite good) and rhythms.Could catch
the fancy of youth.

Mudhal Murai...
Vocals: Haricharan,
Harini Tippu.
Lyrics: Lalithanandh
A soft, sentimental love duet, leisurely paced and interwoven
with cute notes from the guitars( you hear them right through),
flute, and veena( plaintive notes).Mellifluous singing from
both. Just before the second charanam, Harini’s voice
combines so well with the flute in essaying Reethigowla
notes. Makes you want to hum along.
Vennilavu...
Vocals: Vijay Yesudas, Saindavi, Dhanvi.
Lyrics: Lalithanandh
A strong Arabian touch is seen in the song, especially in
the music interludes. The high pitched curving notes from
the shehnai, guitars and the violin are proof enough. A
passionate number, with not-so-subtle lyrics set to a stylish
Sindubairavi scale. In both the charanams, the rhythms are
subdued when the male sings, offering a nice variation.

Adhu
Oru Kaalam...
Vocals: Haricharan, Premgi Amaran.
Lyrics: Lalithanandh
Attractive notes from the Natabairavi raga have been
strung together for this song, giving a smooth listening
experience. Haricharan sings the sorrow of a jilted
lover and Premgi consoles him. The initial notes from
the guitar that start at the ‘pa’ swara
and go ‘pa dha ni sa ri; ga ri--- on to ‘dha’
and then on to ‘pa’ and then to ‘ri’
and down to the base’pa’ are elegantly
played. In ‘neeyum naanum’ the notes ‘ni
dha ni dha ni pa’ are often repeated. The use
of dholak and tabla on and off add variety to the
rhythms.

Nammoru Chennaiyila...
Vocals: Venkat Prabhu.
Lyrics: Lalithanandh
Some cheeky lyrics, here! A song sung by a disillusioned
lover, blasting womenfolk in general. And the shehnai
alone stops us from taking it all seriously! And of
course the speedy native rhythms. Fun use of the Revati
raga too, from what we hear.
Verdict:
There is a conscious effort on the part of Premgi
Amaran to give us melody and variety, and he has to
be appreciated for this. Nothing strident or dramatic
about the album. Quite a lighthearted one! He does
have it in him to offer more original melodies, and
we are sure he will. Overall, its an album worth a
try!
