Starring:
Vishal and Nayanthara.
Music: Harris Jayaraj.
This movie has generated a lot of interest amidst Vishal
fans (a sizable group) because he has toned his body
beautifully to play the role of a cop. And, of course,
Nayanthara supplies the glamour quotient. More important,
this is Harris Jayaraj’s 25th movie and he is
supposed to have used a live orchestra ( of 84 members)
for the recording, which is rather |

unusual these days! He has tuned 5 songs for the film. How
has the live orchestration worked? Let us take a look.
Ada gada gada…
Vocals: Premji Amaran
Lyrics: P.Vijay
Well, Harris Jayaraj has still not shaken off the ‘Dhikku
dhikku’ song from his system, as we can see here.
The rhythms somewhat resemble the song. A lot of rhythmic
fillers like’ Shaba raba raba rum bam bam’ have
been sprinkled throughout the song which itself seems aimed
at teasing a girl! The sudden juxtaposition of ‘Aayi
mahamayi mayi tirusooli’ and all the verbal pyrotechnics
really makes you smile! There’s an odd instrument
here which you hear both in the middle and the end. Is it
flute? It sounds quite plaintive.

En
Anbe…
Vocals: Sadhana Sargam, Benny Dayal
Lyrics: Yugabharati
The initial guitar bits are very sweet. The song itself
seems to be largely based on Kapi raga. And portrays
a girl’s devoted love for her man. Her thrill
is effectively conveyed by the twinkling, rolling
musical interludes with string instruments woven throughout
the song. And the chorus is so pleasing—‘Athadi
aasai alai paya—‘it goes on thus. Sadhana
Sargam is faultlessly melodious with Benny taking
a back seat here.

Aaradi Kaatthey…
Vocals: Hariharan
Lyrics: P.Vijay
Quite a punchy song, this! Paints a picture of the’
tough cop’ that Vishal plays in the movie. Very
thoughtfully conceived rhythm for the song which recalls
police parades and marches. Not many string instruments
have been used here. One does hear some Dilruba strains.
The phrases’Aaradi kaathey’ and ‘Kangalukkul
odum gandhagatthil aaru’ are quite startling
in their effect. One fondly hopes Vishal has supplied
adequate emotions to set the song on fire! Good use
of Suddha dhanyasi raga.
