The legendary combination of Mani Ratnam, AR Rahman, and Vairamuthu is back with their next album Chekka Chivantha Vaanam. Here is our review/analysis of the CCV songs:
Chekka Chivantha Vaanam had all its songs neatly placed and infused within the screenplay. All the tracks composed by ARR for CCV have been intense songs that stay rooted to the story. One track that was stitched to the screenplay but wasn't a part of the album that released prior to the film's release is Praaptham.
Crooned by Karthik, this is a very strong song from ARR in which the lyrics take center stage. Vairamuthu's words have been highly praised all over, and Praaptham is another feather to his cap. Karthik's voice is very special and ARR has made full use of it in this song. His range is excellent! The song travels from start to end very smoothly and it is an alternative jazz-rock track. The beats complement the feel of the song perfectly.
Also, it is absolutely needless to compliment Rahman's arrangement! Praaptham is the samaaptham to CCV's album, but it is another note to us that the experimentation with music for ARR and Mani Ratnam has no ends!
