Produced
by Kalpathi.S.Aghoram, directed
by Simbhu Devan (who certainly
has the talent to handle such
themes), this ‘Cowboy’
movie is eagerly looked forward
to, appearing as it does almost
38 years after actor Jaishankar
did such a movie. The hero is
Raghava Lawrence and he is paired
with three heroines- Padmapriya,
Lakshmi Rai and Sandhya. We
also have Manorama, Mouli, Vaiyapuri,
M.S.Bhaskar, Nasser and many
others essaying supporting roles.
G.V.Prakash, fresh from his
‘Aayirathil Oruvan’
success, scores music for this
movie. All lyrics are by Vairamuthu.
Vellaikari Nee...
Vocals:M.K
Balaji, Ramya, Bargavi
A
rugged masculine number with
strong rhythms and some quirky
instrumental bits. The rap bits
are neat and the song has been
sung well. Could go up the charts.
Nenjam Nenjam...
Vocals: G.V.Prakash,
Harini, Sulabha

This song is a heady mix of jazz (such joyful
notes from the wind instruments) and yesteryear
melody. A song of throbbing passion, it
needs tasteful picturization to add to the
impact.
Ilanthamizha...
Vocals:Tippu
This is another cute number with just a
touch of blithe Caribbean rhythms and some
cheery trumpet notes. The lyrics stress
the importance of combining intelligence
with valor. Well sung by Tippu and is likely
to be relished well too.
War Theme...
Vocals: Rahul
Nambiar
This piece starts off purposefully and then
turns into a cocky, comical one. The sudden
flute notes are so delightful they make
you smile! Ends with an amusing flourish
too.
Kanna Nee Ennai...
Vocals: Bombay
Jayashri, Navin Iyer, D.A.Srinivas
Now, this song catches you totally unawares,
being in the classical mode! Based on the
Madhukauns (or Sumanesaranjani, as some
would say) ragam, this song holds your attention
for its lovely use of ‘jatis’,
mrudangam,ghatam and flute. The swirl of
notes in the elongated ‘vaaa—‘is
dramatic. The song of a lovelorn lady calling
out to her beloved, it is likely to be savored
for the mood change it offers. Have the
mrudangam and flute players sung the jatis
as well?
Raja Singam...
Vocals: Rahul
Nambiar, Shakti, Bigg Nikk
All the ‘cowboy movie’ sounds
are in place-clicking revolvers, neighing
horses, pealing church bells etc; but what
gives it an amusing touch is the use of
lighthearted lyrics. Probably introduces
the hero Lawrence Raghava! The guitars are
businesslike in this number which seems
to be a comical interpretation of ‘Pump
It’ by Black Eyed Peas.
IKMS Theme...
Solemn notes from the trumpet, trombone
and possibly harmonica, but a trifle monotonous.
Verdict:
G.V.Prakash has attempted something novel
and offbeat this time, in keeping with the
theme of the film. A credible storyline
can add color to the songs on screen. |
