Rameswaram
– Music Review |
|
From
a movie about refugees and their impending future, told from
a youngster’s perspective, all you would expect would
be songs that are sad and uninspiring. You would be surprised,
go ahead and read our review;
Alaigallin Osai - Haricharan, Kalyani
Lyrics: Kabilan
A melodious number that opens with excellent use of wind

instruments
and a nice rhythm that slowly sets in with great rendition by
both Haricharan and Kalyani. Song talks about the hero expressing
his plight as a refugee and how he would not be the right choice
for the heroine who says she can comfort him in spite of all his
troubles. Some interesting lyrics by Kabilan.

Ellorayum
Ethipoga - Haricharan, Manicka Vinayagam, Reshmi,
Suriya
Lyrics: Kabilan
This song has already captivated Tamil refugees all over the
world, an excellent blend of meaningful lyrics and an ensemble
of singers with varied voices. A song probably sung by refugees
trying to cheer themselves up reminiscing their happy days
back home. Music starts with a violin piece and then drum
beats and a harmony that leads to a small child’s voice
- a good build up. Kabilan's lyrics have elevated it to a
different plane altogether, placing the burden on the visuals
to enhance it even further.

Naan
Tharai Nila - Swetha Mohan
Lyrics: Yugabharathy
About the heroine explaining her personality and her desires all
in one song. Not new, concept wise, but lyrics are good. Let’s
get to the music part, this one doesn’t disappoint any bit
but doesn’t surprise you either, perhaps it belongs to the
kind that might grow on you.

Netirunthom
Engal - Arun OS
Lyrics: Na. Muthukumar
The song commiserates with the lives of the refugees. Seems
like a song that is picturised on refugees staring at a bleak
future. Again appropriate lyrics accompanied by very subtle
orchestration. Arun is a promising find, one to look for in
the future, for his high pitched rendition.

Yaedho
Senja - Chinmayee, Ranjith
Lyrics: Yugabharathy
Reminds you of Aaathangara Maname from Kizhakku Cheemaiyele at first
but on repeated listening reveals the layers. Not in the league
of the other songs but Chinmayee’s voice clearly is the highlight,
post Sahana she seems to be all the more comfortable singing along
different scales. Beats are not very different, supposedly an attempt
by the director to please the masses and still strike a balance
with some interesting instrumental bits interspersed in between
foot tapping beats.

Theme
Music - Niru
The haunting score explains the certain under current that
can be heard in all the songs befitting theme. Interesting
orchestration and arrangement of wind and string instruments,
lending it a touch of class. It’s been some time since
CD’s have come out with theme music in them.

Verdict:
All those searching for some soul stirring melodies, this one is for
you. Niru showed a lot of promise in his first movie Kalaba Kaadhalan
and in this outing he has shown, he is the one to look out for. Keep
up the good work Niru.
