Lyrics

Na.Muthukumar |

Produced
by Thiruppathi Brothers Film
Media (of N.Lingusamy) along
with N. Subash C. Bose, and
directed by Lingusamy, this
clean action-cum-entertainer
stars Karthi (of ‘Paruthiveeran’
fame) and Tamannah (the hottest
heroine around now) as the lead
pair along with Milind Soman
(a handsome hulk of a model)
and Sonia Deepti in pivotal
roles. The two lovers Karthi
and Tamannah set out on a journey
from Bengaluru to Mumbai and
the story is all about their
experiences on the way. The
movie has been shot in Bengaluru,
Mumbai and Hyderabad. Yuvan
Shankar Raja, who is busy preparing
for a huge concert tour to Dubai
and Canada, is the music director
for this movie. All the songs
have been penned by Na.Muthukumar.
Thuli Thuli... 
Vocals: Haricharan,
Tanvi
A soft romantic solo with pleasant
string accompaniment and sharp
rhythms. Haricharan’s
rendering is clean and crisp
but his voice sounds slightly
muffled. Tanvi is content with
background humming. The second
interlude without rhythms is
soothing, could make a mark
with smooth visuals.

Poongatre Poongatre...
Vocals: Benny Dayal
Another solo with a distinct ‘rock’
touch to it, it celebrates the entry of
a lovely lady into the hero’s life.
Dramatic guitars and keyboard sounds dominate
in the interludes. Benny Dayal’s singing
is spirited. Could hit the charts, even
if the tune doesn’t seem original.
Adada Mazhaida...
Vocals: Rahul Nambiar,
Saindhavi
The jaunty rhythms in this song make you
want to go foot-tapping. The song itself
seems to have a mild ‘Nalandhana’
hangover! Of the live drums used, one drum
sound is so sharp – it could have
been toned down a little. Good singing from
both, especially Rahul. This song is supposed
to have been shot at Athirapally waterfalls.
Suthudhe
Suthudhe...
Vocals: Karthik,
Sunitha Saradhy
The song of a young man too far gone in
love! Karthik, bless his soul, adds a lot
of verve and colour to this number with
his very polished rendering. Sunitha’s
role is confined to humming. Again the rhythm
component is arresting. This song, with
Sabeena Khan as the choreographer, was shot
in an expensive set designed by art director
Rajeevan and is supposed to be the highlight
of the movie. Could be well liked for its
different feel.
En Kadhal Solla...
Vocals: Yuvan
Shankar Raja, Tanvi
This is a typical Yuvan number-full of pining
and longing. Strong beats are prominent
with strings and keyboard sounds taking
a backseat. Tanvi’s role is minimal.
Yuvan does strain in places and the phrase
‘poi solla theriyathadi’ has
a funny inflection making you smile. His
fans are sure to like this song.
Verdict:
Yuvan’s interesting experiments with
rhythms continues in this album too. But
at least three songs seem to have a little
something of his earlier numbers. It may
not create a flutter like ‘Sarvam’,
but if the film is a neatly packed one,
then some songs could have an extended ‘shelf
life’. |
