Costly
selection mistake that Kamal made! |

It took five years of hard work, sweat
and dedication to make a movie, which
is bound to make every Indian proud, and
take tamil cinema to a different horizon.
Sadly though, the musical score sounds
as if it has been done in a jiffy. There
has been no thought process that has gone
into the songs. When a music director
gets an opportunity for such a film, he
must buckle up and give a album that is
never heard so far. |

Ilayaraja
elevates himself and his music for people like Mani Ratnam
and Bharathiraja; Rehman does miraculous music for Mani Ratnam
and Shankar. The crux is that when a larger than life director
gives you a chance to compose music for his film you give
music that is larger than life too. But Himesh, sadly though,
remains the same old Himesh giving tunes that are not any
different than the tunes he composes for the many low profile
Hindi film, which stars people like Emran Hashmi. The songs
are heavily inspired or rather borrowed from the many A.R.
Rehman classics and the only original tune Oh… Oh…
Sanam fails to impress. The orchestration instrumentation
and the sound quality are amateurish. We are left wondering
how such a great thinker like Kamal, who chose all this resources
for the film in a proper way, got the wrong idea of choosing
Himesh for the songs part. When here in south there is such
raw talent, it was fate that it had to go to someone in the
north and that too to some one who did not deserve it. I hope
that we can get to hear better music from someone with a richer
talent for Kamal`s next magnum opus
