Saaradhy |

Produced
by S3 Films and directed by Boopathy Pandian
(who did ‘Devathaiyai Kanden’
and ‘Malaikkottai’ earlier),
this movie stars newcomers Balaji and
Meghna Sundar. This is supposed to be
a love story with a comic touch to it.
Yuvan Shankar Raja scores the music for
this film and the album lists five tracks.
Oh Shala.. 
Vocals: Yuvan Shankar
Raja
Yes, your mind harks back to ‘Goa’
as you listen to it, but you do get to
like it after a while. Especially for
the use of cello and string instruments
in the interludes. Portrays the tumbling
sentiments of a love-stricken youngster.
The way the thundering drums take off
in the last part- ‘ursaagam melum
melum aera---‘is quite amusing.
Could just visit the charts.
Oru Vaanavillin...
Vocals: Udit Narayanan

No offence meant, but this song simply begs for Shankar
Mahadevan! The rather lazy ‘jazz-feel’
of this number is not effectively brought out by Udit,
who, sadly threatens to go off-key repeatedly. Plus,
the song vaguely reminds you of ‘engaeyo paartha’.
Hmmm, but could have some takers.
Enna Enna Aagiraen...
Vocals: Vijay Yesudas
In spite of the assaulting rhythms, Vijay Yesudas
lends a gentle air to this song with his polished
voice. Neat notes of Natabairavi raga on the guitar’
sa ri ga ma ga; sa ri ga pa ma’ etc; pop up
now and then. Nice lyrics. Could make it to the charts.
Saami
Varuguthu...
Vocals: Chidambaram Sivakumar Pujari
(!!!) and chorus
Ha, ha ,ha, ha! This tongue-in-cheek number has nothing
to do with religion and everything to do with love!
Just listen to the lyrics. But, why did the lightheartedness
spill over into the sruti alignment too? The nagaswaram
and vocals seem to clash sruti wise. This singer is
an amusing find.
Anbulla
Sandhiyaa...
Vocals: Karthik
Karthik pulls off another winner here to the accompaniment
of airy flute notes, pensive strings and subdued rhythms.
You hear the Natabairavi raga again with a sudden
dart into Shanmukapriya (on the strings) one and a
half minutes into the song (with a playful use of
‘ma’ swara). A very pleasant melody.
Verdict:
The album follows its own languorous pace. Sometimes
the rhythms come on too strongly. Nothing that sparkles,
but makes for pleasant listening. Though a couple
of songs give you a ‘heard-before’ feeling,
Yuvan , with his habitual neat instrumental touches
(be it the violin, sarangi, flute-whatever), adds
newness to them. |
