Chikku Bukku...
Vocals: Benny
Dayal, Rahul Nambiar, Maya, Sricharan
Lyrics: Pa.Vijay
A brisk dance number with a slight touch
of hip-hop. Well controlled voices and
rhythms make this song pass muster. Enthusiastic
singing from all.
Oru Nila...
Vocals: Shankar Mahadevan,
Chandrayee Bhattacharya, Uma Padmanabhan |

Lyrics:
Valee
The song begins with a fond marriage wish-
A romantic duet. What gives it a nice feel is the
use of gentle tavils, tablas, piano and flute. The
song seems based on Sankarabaranam scale but the flute
touches upon Mohanam too. Shankar Mahadevan is delightfully
subdued.
Zara Zara...
Vocals: Benny Dayal, Lavanya.
Lyrics: Pa.Vijay
Another dance number, tight knit and cheerfully rendered
by both. Could climb the charts for its spunky feel.
Has a slightly dated air to it.
Smile...
Vocals: Suchith
Suresan
Lyrics: Pa.Vijay
Composer: Pravin Mani
Oh, yes this song does make you smile a bit because
of its ‘Old School’ music feel. Moves
along at its own unhurried pace and the instrumental
interludes are equally languorous too. Has the faintest
touch of Gowri Manohari raga to it. Could prove chart-friendly.
Thooral
Ninraalum... 
Vocals: Hariharan,
Wadali Brothers
Lyrics: Valee
This song, sung with a liberal use of the Hindustani
idiom, charms you with its melodic appeal. Hariharan
soothes and the brothers add a nice contrast with
their soaring folksy music. The flute keeps hinting
at the passion behind it all
Vizhi oru Padhi...
Vocals: Adnan
Sami, Sujatha
Lyrics: Valee
Quite a sensuous number, but its effect gets diluted
by Adnan Sami’s weak vocals. Just what did the
composers have in mind? Sujata delights. By not touching
much upon the ‘dha’ swara, the base raga
Sankarabaranam here acquires a light Nalinakanthi
raga touch!
Adi Saarale...
Vocals: Pradeep
Vijay, Suvi
Lyrics: Pa.Vijay
A short ditty that paints a warm cosy picture of moments
of loving togetherness. Neat violins add a rosy touch.
Verdict:
For those of us who expected stuff from them on the
lines of ‘Modhi Vilaiyadu’, this album
is somewhat low-key. A couple of songs even sound
like ad jingles. Of course there is melody and a pleasant
fusion of genres here, but will these songs hit the
charts? Let us wait and see. |
