Produced
by Karthik Nagarajan, Mandhira Punnagai
is the launchpad for debutant Karu Palaniappan
as an actor. He is also the director of
this movie which has Meenakshi, Maheshwari
and Santhanam in other important roles.
Music has been scored by Vidyasagar and
the audio was launched recently at the
PVR cinemas in Chennai.
Satta Sada Sada...
Vocals: Karthik, Swetha
Lyrics: Arivumathi

Satta
sada sada starts off with complicated lyrics and later
eases into a lovely melody. Sung by Karthik and Swathi,
the song is free flowing but has nothing special to
mention. It has the usual Vidyasagar stamp marked
on it. Good start to the album!
Thanni Poda Vaappa...
Vocals: Karthik
Lyrics: Viveka
Call it rap, call it whatever but we are introduced
to a cocktail of various alcoholic names only to be
taken over by Karthik. We can sense a feeling of déjà-
vu right from the time the beats start to dominate.
Not sure where this will fit in the otherwise sober
album. Just a meagre attempt to satisfy the gallery!
A remix of the same in the album does not add any
additional value.
Enna Kuraiyo... 
Vocals: Sudha Ragunathan
Lyrics: Arivumathi
Enna kuraiyo captivates us right from the word go.
Sudha Rahunathan is such a delight to listen to. With
classical carnatic instruments giving good support,
the song deviates just a little when the rhythm machine
takes over. But Sudha Raghunathan pulls it back with
her mesmerising voice. A delightful song!
Anbillama
Karanchadhu...
Vocals: Jassie
Gift, Maya
Lyrics: Yugabharathi
Brass bands, trumpets and horns... a new experiment
by Vidhyasagar in this song. If we indulge ourselves
with the beat, it takes a turn and gets into Qawwali
mode. Lyrics by Yugabarathi do not provide any additional
value to the song which makes it just average. Though
the sounds are different, Anbillama Karanchadhu fails
to impress.
Megam
Vandhu Pogum...
Vocals: Anweshaa, Madhu Balakrishnan
Lyrics: Arivumathi
Vidyasagar gets back in his groove in Megam Vandhu
Pogum. Arivumathi's lyrics adds to the charm of Anweshaa's
sweet voice. A very simple arrangement helps to maintain
the soulful mood of the song. Madhu Balakrishnan's
cameo makes it even more exciting. A fantastic romantic
number which is sure to be aired more often.
Siththan Mugam Ondru...
Vocals:
Kirthi Sahathiya
Lyrics: Arivumathi
Siththan Mugam Ondru is sung by Kirthi Sahathiya and
starts off with heavy music and continues like that
till the end. With the synthesizers in full swing,
Kirthi churns out an inspirational song helped with
Arivumathi. We can see moments of brilliance of Vidyasagar
in the song. Worth a listen!
Verdict:
Mandhira Punnagai may not be Vidyasagar's best but
he has delivered a couple of long lasting numbers
which are sure to connect well with the audience.
His definite strength, melodies, can be seen in the
album. The album has variety but does not gel together
as a package. Mandhira Punnagai is worth listening
to and may appeal more once the visuals stick to the
viewer's mind! |
