Produced

Raja takes charge of the music department.
The album lists 5 songs. All lyrics are
by Na.Muthukumar.
Ada.. Boss..Boss...
Vocals: Satyan
A lighthearted introduction of the hero
who conforms to the present ‘college-goers’
tradition. Delightful arrangement of live
percussions adds easy gaiety to the song.
Based on the Karaharapriya scale with
the lightest touch of Harikamboji, this
song is sunny-especially the two music
interludes before the charanams and the
neat use of the ‘ma’ swara.

What a lovingly spaced out song
in terms of rhythms! You are able to savor the lyrics
of the bemused lover boy as well as the Natabairavi
raga used here. Haricharan has another hit on his
hands (after ‘thuli thuli’ from Paiyaa).Again
the interludes –from the keyboards, flute and
strings are so soothing- and the first one, one and
a half minutes into the song that plays upon the notes
‘sa ga ga ri ni sa’ and ‘pa dha
ni sa’ is very pleasing.
Thatthi Thaavum...
Vocals: Karthik
Indipop, eh? This is an amusing but endearing piece
that takes off on a rather straight Kiravani scale.
The ‘jazz’ like first interlude and the
comical second one (remember ‘Iragai Pola’
from ‘Naan Mahaan Alla?’), the whistling
and Karthik’s stylized singing all pile up impishness.
Ayile

Prakash
Mmmm! This song is a mini manual on the joys of kissing!
The different- sounding music bits are suitably airy,
but one wishes the drums were a little subdued to
relish all the tiny Karaharapriya ‘sangatis’
strewn all through this song. Surprise, Vijay Prakash
comes off almost like Yuvan here! With aesthetic visuals,
this song can take off.
Mama…
Mama...
Vocals: Vijay
Yesudas, Swetha
Though the song starts off with a Sankarabaranam bit,
the song appears to switch gear into Harikamboji.
If it is so, then it must be ranked with one of the
many lovely Harikamboji pieces that Ilayaraja has
turned out. Peppy and well-rendered, this ‘courtship’
song has suitably subdued thavil and native drum accompaniment.
Raja fans will like it.
Verdict:
This album, though it leans well towards the Ilayaraja
‘paani’, still captures young hearts with
its mild self-mocking tone. A smile-worthy album and
a neat departure from the usual Yuvan style. |
