Produced
by T.G.Thyagarajan of Satyajothi Films
and directed by Badri Venkatesh, this
film is about a young boy who is obsessed
with kite flying. In fact the film seems
to have some scenes from the Ahmedabad
Kite-Flying Festival too. Shot in Ahmedabad,
Chennai and Thailand this movie has yesteryear
actor Murali’s son Atharva making
his debut along with Samantha, a lively
young Chennai girl. Karunas and Prasanna
also feature along with them. Yuvan Shankar
Raja scores the music for this film.
Thaakkudhe…Kann..
Vocals: Yuvan Shankar
Raja
Lyrics: Vaali
This song rolls along with sweet rhythms
which seem to carry the slightest touch
of Calypso. Yuvan threatens to go offkey
all the time. But nice to listen to. Could
make it to the charts. |

Paitthiyam Pidikkudhu...
Vocals: Karthik
Lyrics: Na.Muthukumar
A soft number from Karthik where the rhythms go still
adding to the dreamy nature of the love song. Seems
set on the Kiravani raga scale.
Kuppatthu Rajaakkal...
Vocals: Haricharan, Rahul Nambiar,
Satyan
Lyrics: Snehan
Though the song has a strong ‘heard-before’
mettu, Yuvan still manages to sustain our interest
through clever rhythm arrangement and lively guitars.
A smooth use of Natabairavi raga with the oft-repeated
‘ri ri ga ga’ swaras adding a cool touch.
En
Nenjil...
Vocals: Sadhana Sargam
Lyrics: Na.Muthukumar
Another number on the Kiravani scale, but the use
of strings and flute are quite melodious with just
a little touch of drama. The swara build-up from the
upper ‘sa to ‘ma’ in the second
interlude two and a half minutes into the song is
very neat. There is a definite dramatic aspect to
the deep drums too.
Ullara
Poondhu Paaru...
Vocals: Roshni
Lyrics: Gangai Amaren
You are so tempted to shrug off this song which makes
you recall quite a few numbers gone before, but what
saves it is some endearingly funky instrumentation
and Roshni’s valiant singing. The raga appears
to be Mayamalavagowla.
Verdict:
After experimenting with trendy and volatile stuff
in his earlier movies, Yuvan seems to have settled
for some soft, homely fare here-even to the point
of sounding slightly complacent. The rhythms are interesting
as ever. There’s also an intangible mellowness
that seeps through occasionally in the songs. Surprise! |
