The
Endhiran storm has intensified. It is
raining music around the world with the
launch of the year's most awaited audio
released in Malaysia. There was secrecy
maintained first, then a few stills released,
then it was Shankar's tweets and finally
the music of Endhiran is out. With the
superstar and Aishwarya in lead roles,
Sun Pictures producing, Shankar directing
and AR Rahman composing the music, we
wonder what we can expect out of this
album. Technical brilliance, hugeness,
flamboyance and a touch showy, Endhiran
has it all.
The first few seconds of the song "Puthiya
Manitha" tells you what to expect
out of this album. "Techno".
The robotic tone of AR Rahman is just
the appetizer for more to come. Robotic
? Oh come on, this is Endhiran after all.
Then we just slip our senses listening
to Khatija Rahman's |

(Rahman's eldest daughter) serene rendition only to
be awakened by the bold voice of SPB. Vairamuthu pleads
to the robot "Ella uyirukkum nanmai aa iru ...
entha nilaiyilum unmai aa iru". Just an amazing
opening number.
We move forward to "Kadhal Anukkal" by Vairamuthu
of Gen X. If your ears are treated to strumming guitars
and the husky voice of Vijay Prakash, Vairamuthu showcases
his understanding of this generation with peppy lyrics.
Known for his semi-melodious romatic numbers, Rahman
is at ease delivering this. The bag piper interlude
is pure genius. No robots, no techno. This one is
purely for the die hard romatic. Though the grand
arrangement of music catches your imagination, it
is hard to miss the voices of Vijay Prakash and Shreya
Goshal. A poesy and foot tapping number this.
The start of "Irumbile oru idhayam" is an
indicator of what is to follow. Lyrics by Kaarkhi,
this one will make you dance right from the word go.
We are treated to super example of the "Techno"
genre. If the initial lyrics are english, Rahman's
settles down things with his husky voice and tamil
lyrics. This one is about the iron hearted Endhiran
infected by the love virus. If Rahman, the lover,
proposes love in Tamil, Lady Kash and Krissy, the
curious girl raps back with exciting English lyrics.
Verses like "Thottu pesum bothum shock adika
thonum.... iravin naduvil battery thaan theerum"
makes you want to listen to this more than once. This
is easily the pick of the album.
If you think the next song falls in the same category
after the first few lines of heavy techno sounds and
with slightly uncomprehensible english lyrics, you
are mistaken. This is "Chitti Dance Showcase"
sung by Pradeep Vijay, Pravin mani and YogiB. A fusion
of western and classical music, we wonder where this
piece will fit in the movie. We get to hear some wonderful
amalgamation of neatly arranged percussion, techno
sounds and classical interludes.
We are now welcomed to the grandness of the bigger
than the biggest in "Arima Arima". Yes now
we see Endhiran with digitised trumpets announcing
the arrival of the beast. Vairamuthu is at his best
with the finest translation of computer terms. with
male chorus and digital notes playing in the background,
we can feel the Robot walking forward, amidst praises,
trying to conquer a woman's heart with arrogance.
If Hariharan showcases the arrogance, Sadhana Sargam's
voice surely seems to tame the lordiness. The never
stopping drums add charm to this song.
We are now travelling to "Kilimanjaro".
Yes, tribal vocals, beats and chimes welcome you to
the grandeur of Africa. With Javed Ali and Chinmayi
in control, you cannot miss this one. We are now treated
to some drum beats and vocals by the virtuoso. Lyrics
by Pa. Vijay adds spice to the romance. No this is
strictly not the Endhiran style music we have heard
so far. This is more the style of our lover-girl lover-boy
routine.
Sung by Yogi B, Keerthi Sagathia, Swetha Mohan and
Tanvi Shah, the last song of the album "Boom
Boom Robot da" sums up the overall experience
with a dose of digitised technco music. Lyrics by
Kaarki, the song is about the characteristics of the
robot. This one certainly evokes interest if one listens
to the lyrics carefully.
If AR Rahmman introduced "Blues" genre of
music in VTV, this time around he loudly announces
"It is Techno time folks". We are just mersmerised
with the digital beats and sounds and of course some
amazing voices and lyrics. This Robot is out to win
all hearts I'm sure. |
