Produced
by K.Dhananjayan of Moserbaer,
directed by R.Kannan, and
starring Barath, Tamannah,
Munna, Santhanam along with
others, this film is a remake
of the very successful Kareena-Shahid
starrer ‘Jab we Met’.
The music for the film was
a high point in Hindi. Vidyasagar
has taken over the reins in
this department here. Let
us see what our melody maker
has in store for us this time.
There are six songs in the
movie.
Ven
Panju---
Vocals: Udit
Narayan, Karthik.
Lyrics: Yugabarathy
A soft number with a slight
R&B touch to it that moves
elegantly in a wave like pattern.
Appears to be the title song.
Can Udit and his lisp be parted?
He is in full flow here. The
delicate keyboard sounds bring
you joy, for sure.

Sutthudhu
Sutthudhu---
Vocals: Hariharan.
Lyrics: Na.Muthukumar
Oh, this is such a lovely number where
the gentle lyrics, native rhythms and
the flute come together so well! Hariharan’s
wonderful singing points to a solid hit
after his ‘Palapalakkira’
from Ayan. The song appears to take the
Natabairavi scale but touches upon Kiravani
when we hear the speedy vocal humming’sa
ni sa ri ga ri sa ni---‘ which leaves
you going ‘wow’! The song
seems to end abruptly.
Naan Mozhi Arindhaen---
Vocals: Suresh Wadhkar.
Lyrics: Yugabarathy
A song of sweet yearning that moves on
Yamuna Kalyani raga. Suresh Wadhkar (a
respected playback singer in both Hindi
and Marathi films- listeners may remember
him in ‘Hum Paanch, Prem Rog, Krodhi
etc; to name a few) needs to be applauded
for his clear articulation! Again the
flute has a field day here combining well
with strings. A touch of Hindustani in
the second interlude with harmonium sounds,
a rapid violin bit and the measured ghatam-like
sounds now and then add variety to this
number. Could make it to the charts too.
Kaatru
Puthithai---
Vocals: Rahul Nambiar.
Lyrics: Yugabarathy
The rhythm pattern that goes’ sa
ri ga ri ga ri ga sa ri’ right through
the song points to a song of travel and
the lyrics too reflect the liberating
feeling that comes with journeying. This
number is a bit of a surprise from Vidyasagar,
but somehow doesn’t hold your attention.
Ododi
Poraen---
Vocals: Lavanya, Rashmi Vijayan.
Lyrics: Madhan Karkki
Mmmm, this is an interesting number that
hops along jumpy rhythms to suit the inner
happiness of the lady. Very pleasing violins
and keyboard stuff make it a foot-tapping
piece. And well sung too!
Oru
Naal Iravil---
Vocals: Tipu, Benny Dayal.
Lyrics: Na.Muthukumar
Vidyasagar and this? Well, well, the song
has a strong element of impishness about
it-be it the cute lyrics, the fun music
interludes or the singing (both Tipu and
Benny rock!). This number seems to be
deeply etched into the storyline. Could
be loved by the youth.
Verdict:
This album has been composed with a careful
eye (or should we say ear?) on the decibel
levels which is heartening! Vidyasagar
has modified his music to flow suitably
with the storyline. The album may not
be appreciated right away but a few years
down the line, it will be a nice one to
come back to!
