Produced
by M.K.Tamil Arasu, our Chief Minister’s
youngest son, and directed by ‘Pasanga’
fame Pandiraj, this film stars Arulnidhi
(CM’s grandson), Sunaina, Ganja
Karuppu, Anupama, Kishore and others.
Taj Noor, an erstwhile assistant to A.R.Rahman,
scores music for this film, thereby taking
his first bow. Let us see what he has
to offer.
Mannadhi Mannaru..
Vocals: Manikka Vinayagam,
Vel Murugan, Pandiraj
Lyrics: Vaali
Though the song boasts of well-composed
ethnic beats and nagaswaram, its sheer
length makes it a bit tedious to listen
to. A couple of phrases in the lyric are
‘CM-centric’! A paean to a
‘Maravar Vamsa’ warrior.

Marudaani Poovappola... 
Vocals: Mukesh, Surmukhi
Lyrics: Na. Muthukumar
The flute and ethnic drums cater to the folksy aspect
of the theme and the quaint western touches in the
chorus lines provide a breezy variation. An interesting
number from Taj Noor, in spite of the very repetitive’
marudaani poovappole’ line. Delicately written
lyrics. The scale seems to be Karaharapriya.
Ennanjey...
Vocals: Ananthu, Priyadarshini, Taj
Noor
Lyrics: Na.Muthukumar
The topsy-turvy feel that love brings about is amply
reflected in the zany instrumental background music
right through this song. A cute Tamil rap bit and
nagaswaram notes add to the comic appeal. The mettu
does make you recall an old Hindi hit, but the song
could have a brief stint on the charts.
Suvadu
Suvadu...
Vocals: M.Sasikumar, Samuthirakani,
Pandiraj
Lyrics: Pandiraj
The word ‘suvadu’ has a lot of meanings.
It is unclear what this bit is supposed to convey
in the movie. But it can be easily relished for its
neat background music.
Usure...
Vocals: Surmukhi
Lyrics: Eknaath
A song that reflects the broken heartedness of the
lady. A lovers’ tiff, obviously. The thavil,
though neat, forms an uneasy alliance with the rest
of the song. A slow number. Do we hear the viola on
and off?
Marudaani
Poovin Meley...
Vocals: Chinmayee, M.K.Balaji
Lyrics: Na.Muthukumar
Song no.2, sung from the lady’s point of view,
with slightly altered lyrics. Neat guitars, but they
don’t add to the song. Chinmayee adds her own
personal touch to this number.
Verdict:
Taj Noor has tried to balance his music between the
‘native touch’ that the story demands
and the sensibilities of the modern listener. Sometimes
he succeeds sometimes the music falls flat. But certainly
an interesting first attempt. We wish him well. |
