review By
Malathy Sundaram |
|
Produced
by B.Barathy Reddy( Vijaya Productions) with story,
dialogues and direction done by Suraaj( remember ‘Maruthamalai?’)
,this movie starring Dhanush and the very popular Tamanna
has raised a lot of expectations because Sun Pictures(
Kalanidhi Maran) is distributing this .Mani Sharma has
scored the music for the movie, tuning seven songs.
We hear that this movie has shaped up into a racy commercial
entertainer with some nice comedy thrown in .Vivek does
the comedy part with Suman doing a baddie role. Let
us check out the songs now---

Hey Vetri Velaa...
Vocals: Naveen , Ranjith.
Lyrics: Pa.Vijay
A very robust number, being the title song, with infectious
inputs from the nagaswaram and percussions. Sung with precise
co-ordination by both. Not a very original tune, anyway,
but passable. Lists all those who did not complete schooling
but shone in life! Has an amusing rap bit before the second
charanam.
Kadavulum Khadhalum...
Vocals: Karthik, Harini.
Lyrics: Snehan.
Well done, Snehan! Such dreamy lyrics! And the singers have
done full justice to it by way of modulation. Conceived
on the Natabairavi scale , this number could have had less
strident percussions and less gimmicks on the keys to go
with it to bring out the softness of the melody. Good violin
bits. The lyrics alone make you want to listen to it again.

Raanki
Rangamma...
Vocals: Udit Narayan, Maalathi.
Lyrics: Pa.Vijay.
A speedy telugu-flavoured dance number aimed at titillation,
going by the lyrics. Sung with the right amount of
gusto by Udit. If the lady singer is the Maalathi
we know, then her rich voice has been downplayed here.
What makes this song interesting is the fine native
percussion combinations offered throughout the song.
Small sprinkles from the guitar, flute, keys and sitar
add richness. Again the Natabairavi scale.

Hey Rosu, Rosu...
Vocals: Ranjith, Jaey.
Lyrics: Thabu Shankar.
When the song opens we go’ oh no, not another
Arabian number’ but the song takes off on a
slightly different track, thanks to what appears to
be an imaginative use of the Kiravani scale. Seductive
lyrics supported by guitars and some real funky piped
sounds. Hope the picturization is sensitive.
Appa Amma Vilayattu...
Vocals: Ranjith, Saindhavi.
Lyrics: Snehan
Shockingly crude lyrics from Snehan this time. The
song itself seems to want to duplicate the success
of ‘Manmadha Raasa’ going by the feel
of the number. Some crisp inputs from the guitar and
nagaswaram and of course robust rhythms, but you don’t
relish it overall.

Verdict:
We are all aware of Dhanush’s dancing prowess and
the songs appear to have been composed with an eye on bringing
out the best from him in this department. After the delightful
number ‘Ennamo Seydhai nee’ from ‘Kadhalna
Summa Illai’, one certainly expected better stuff
from Mani Sharma. Good use of percussions, though.
