Produced
by Sangili Murugan, directed by S.P.Rajakumar,
this film, expected to be a big summer
release, stars Vijay (his fiftieth film),
Tamannah, Vadivelu, Sriman, Dev Gill and
others. The film is set in the coastal
area with water playing a dominant part
of the visuals, for a change. Mani Sharma
scores the music for this and the album
features six tracks. Sun Pictures are
distributing this movie.
Thanjavoor Jillakkari...
Vocals: Hemachandra,
Saindhavi.
Lyrics:
Na.Muthukumar
A bright little melodious number, this!
On the Madhyamavathi raga scale, this
duet reminds you just a wee bit of ‘Karikalan
kaalai’ from Vettaikkaran in the
way it has been put together. Pleasing
drum work and crisp strings deserve mention.

Vettri Kodi Yeathu...
Vocals: Ranjith, Mukesh.
Lyrics: Vaali, S.P.Raajakumar
The typical ‘build-up’ song for Vijay,
with predictable lyrics. But what makes it likeable
is the softer treatment and the breezy drum work that
links our minds to the ‘seaside’ images
which is where the story itself is based. The vocal
and instrumental chorus that go’ paa ma ga sa
ga ma, paa ma ga sa ga ma,pa saa ni sa dha ni paa’
point to a possible use of Karaharapriya raga scale
with a western touch. Could climb the charts.
Vanga Kadal Ellai...
Vocals: Naveen, Malathi Lakshmanan.
Lyrics: Kabilan
Oh, Ho! Just when you begin relishing this album comes
this boring mandatory piece designed to show off Vijay’s
dancing skills. Generates nothing but a feeling of
ennui in you. Sharp thavils and some racy instrumental
bits keep you awake.
Siragadikkum
Nilavu...
Vocals: Karthik,
Reeta.
Lyrics: Snehan
A soft melody with tiny touches of jazz. The song
flows smoothly. A raspy kind of rendering from Karthik
makes it enjoyable. Neat lyrics too. With soft visuals,
it could hit the charts.
Thamizhan
Veera...
Vocals: Rahul Nambiar.
Lyrics: Kabilan
Loaded lyrics, whichever way you look at it! Does
Vijay have anything up his sleeve, we wonder. With
its nursery rhyme-like cadence, this pleasant song,
based on the Natabairavi raga, is let down by weak
orchestration.
Naan
Nadanthal Adhiradi...
Vocals: Naveen, Shoba Chandrasekar, Janani
Madhan
Lyrics: Kabilan
Hmmm, such self-glorification! Anyway this tight guitar-dominated
number could give Vijay ample scope to serve up his
dancing skills. Nothing more.
Verdict:
Well, Mani Sharma has added the right touch of softness
to this Vijay album to suit the storyline which revolves
around the lives of fisherfolk. Especially the native
drums. None of the edgy, teeth-clenching music we
heard in Vettaikkaran. This being Vijay’s fiftieth
film, were we looking for more? |
