Produced
by Shankar and directed by Thamira,
this full length comedy stars Balachander
and Bharathiraja along with Aari, Anjali
and others. The two veterans play the
roles of two impish village elders,
with the village itself being set near
Tirunelveli. Actress Aishwarya Rai released
the audio album of this movie a few
days ago. Karthik Raja, after a commendable
job in ‘Achchamundu, Achchamundu’,
scores the music for this film.
Bam Bam Bambara Kaatthu...
Vocals: Violin Padma,
Rita and chorus.
Lyrics:
Palanibarathy
Wah! Wah! Such a well orchestrated song,
this! All the sounds associated with wind
and rain-dripping, whirling, moaning,
whispering and |

other
such
delicate sounds have been well etched into this number
which appears to be based on the Suddha Danyasi raga.
Don’t miss the delicate sound accompanying the
words ’kammakkarai nandu—‘. Neat
lyrics too
Pattalam Paaruda...
Vocals: Arman Malik, Sarvan, VKS
Fouzia along with Padma Seshadri schoolchildren.
Lyrics: V.Ramasami
A charming kiddies’ number on the lines of ‘Naanthaan
Goppanda’ and ‘Choo Choo Mari’ but
here you have some amusing ‘arm-flexing’
from the kids. Peppy Sankarabaranam notes from the
trumpet add a lot of ‘dhum’ to the song.
Could be liked by kids.
Naan Endru Sol...
Vocals: Hariharan, Sriram Parthasaradhy,
Haricharan.
Lyrics: Chandra
An interesting song, in the sense three singers have
lent their voices to it. All blend so smoothly. A
song of anticipation tinged with sorrow. The Mayamalava
raga scale used here is rather sharp (especially the
‘dha’ swara) taking away somewhat from
its melodic value.
Poochaandi Kannazhagi ...
Vocals: Bellie
Raj, Rita.
Lyrics: Annamalai
This duet has very quirky instrumentation and rather
cute lyrics. The clever use of 4-kattai scale makes
the raga swing between Hindolam and Suddha Danyasi.
A creative number, though there is not much melody.
Jolly rendering from both. Could hit the charts.
Para
Para Kili...
Vocals: Rahul Nambiar, Deepa Mariam.
Lyrics: Palanibarathy
Refreshingly different lyrics and very stylish rhythms
here. Deepa sounds sweet but needs more expression.
Rahul’s voice is caressing. The song has potential
for visual richness. Let us see how it is canned.
Poochandi
Kannazhagi...
Vocals: Hariharan, Shreya Ghosal.
Lyrics: Annamalai
A virtual repeat of song no.4 with Hariharan’s
added chirpy sangatis (kannaley).
Naan
Endru Sol...
Vocals: Hariharan.
Lyrics: Chandra
Hariharan’s solo rendering of song no.3.
Verdict:
There is a nice technical finesse in terms of instruments
used. A neat album, no doubt, but just a bit more
richness in terms of melody would have been very welcome
because the composer involved is Karthik Raja, no
less! |
