Review by : Richard Mahesh

Starring: Jiiva, Tapasee, Santhanam
Direction: Kannan
Music: Thamman
Production: Vasan Visual Ventures
Vocals: Hariharan, Aalaap Raju, Shreya Ghosal, Karthik, Priya Himesh, Thamman
Lyrics: Na. Muthukumar, Madhan Karky, Yugabharathy, Thamarai

Director Kannan’s films have always carried importance for the songs. For the first time, the filmmaker comes together with Thamman for Vandhaan Vendraan. The album has 6 tracks with Madhan Karky penning lyrics for 3 songs while Na. Muthukumar, Thamarai and Yugabharathy have written one song respectively.  

Anjana...  
Vocals: Aalaap Raju
Lyrics: Yughabharathi

Cool, peppy and enchanting – ‘Anjana’ deserves special mention for its mellifluous composition. The instrumentals are mild and they remain at same level throughout the song. Aalaap Raju, the magical voice behind the success of ‘Yennamo Yedho’ and ‘Engeyum Kadhal’ is back with a bang. The song leaves us enthralled for the ravishing music and lyrical lines by Yughabharathi.

Kanchana Mela...  
Vocals: Karthik, Priya Himesh
Lyrics: Thamarai

It looks like Chenda Mela – the traditional percussion instrument of Kerala has become the favourite for our music directors now. Very often we have been hearing the instrument used for rhythms and Thamman experiments blending guitar works along with it. Much alike the previous number, this one arrests our senses for its appealing music.  Karthik’s vocalism adds more flavour to the song while the musical part in strings during interludes is splendidly done.

Mudivilla Mazhaiyodu...
Vocals: Hariharan
Lyrics: Madhan Karky

Thamman attempts on bringing a different genre of music, which is in symphonic style. The inspiring lyrics by Madhan Karky are very well crooned by Hariharan. Yes, the singer’s strong clarity over rendering each word intensifies the message conveyed through lyrics. Overall, it’s a good work and the visuals shot in backdrops of Mumbai amidst the crowds will be an additional attraction.

Anjo...
Vocals: Devan
Lyrics: Madhan Karky

The song runs completely on distorted guitars, heavy beats and jazzy voice by Devan. Madhan Karky is far-famed for using innovative usage of words and this one isn’t an exception. The terms ‘Latin, Hebrew, Ballet, etc, can be regarded as the best illustration. It’s an introduction song for the heroine (played by Taapsee). The chorus part has been rendered with panache while Devan excels on his part.

Nagarudhe...
Vocals: Thamman SS
Lyrics: Na. Muthukumar

The song focalizes on the pathos of a lad pleading his sweetheart not to leave him. The song has a shorter running length. Thamman has taken more effort working on voice modulation and the style of song reminiscences some of his earlier compositions.

Thirandhen...Thirandhen...
Vocals: Aalaap Raju, Shreya Ghosal
Lyrics: Madhan Karky

Aalaap Raju & Shreya Ghosal are widely noticed for their resplendent melodies individually and for the first time, they are together for a track. ‘Thirandhen Thirandhen’ distinguishes itself from other tracks in this album.  In some places, the voices lack clarity and it is because of domination of sound, which could have been avoided.

Vandhaan Vendraan has some promising tracks that urge music lovers to hear them over and again. With couple of songs ‘Anjana’ and ‘Kanchana Mala’ turning to be cherry-picks, rest of the songs might gain the attention with the visuals.

Verdict: Decorous effort by Thamman.
