Produced
by J.Jayakrishnan and directed by K.R.Mathivanan,
this ‘love cum action’ movie
stars Harish, Uttara and others. Lyrics
are by Mathivanan and S.Thaman scores
the music for this film, which seems to
have been shot on foreign locales too.
Oo! Lalali..
Vocals: Suchitra &
Chorus
Well, the words are pretty indistinct,
the guitars are heavy and so is the rhythm.
This is the song of a lady who wants to
pin down an elusive male object. Funnily
you do get to like this number in the
end, maybe because it is well put together.
Kanavugal Edhuvarai...
Vocals: Benny Dayal,
S.Thaman
You almost develop a headache trying to
decipher the lyrics. But the addictive
rhythms and Benny Dayal’s enthusiastic
singing can take it up the charts, we
think.

Missing Something...
Vocals: Reeta & Chorus
Such pathetic lyrics! And even these get drowned out
by the heady rhythms. Reeta’s soft articulation
alone is cause for cheer. The song of a woman pining
for her missing one.
Azhagai
Sirithayada...
Vocals: K.R.Mathivanan, S.Thaman
& Chorus
A slow mournful number based lightly on the Vakulabaranam
raga, but in spite of the rather weak rendering, what
appeals to you is the lovely use of native drums and
sonorous strings. This song, which ponders on the
inscrutable thing that Life itself is, could also
briefly hit the charts.
Saturday
Girlodu...
Vocals: Ujjayini & Chorus
A dance number with a slight ‘hip-hop’
touch to it. Energetic rhythms, solid guitar work
and spunky singing add color to this song.
Un
Uyirai...
Vocals: Karthik
This song (based on Sankarabaranam raga) is all about
mood invocation, with an interesting assembly of background
music. It pleads for lasting peace and humane values
in life. Karthik does a neat job.
Verdict:
Maybe the script itself needed this heavy western
slant in the album. Thaman’s aesthetic sense
keeps it afloat. Meant for the urban youth, this album
may or may not appeal to others. If the movie itself
is slick, then the songs could add color to it. |
