Produced by ‘Athirvu Thiraippattarai’
Manivannan and directed by Gowthaman,
this movie, based on Neela. Padmanabhan’s
literary work ‘Thalaimuraigal’
is eagerly awaited, because of its weighty
story value. It has Gowthaman, Anjali,
Seeman, Santhanam, Ganja Karuppu and others
starring in it. Vidyasagar scores the
music for the film and the album lists
six tracks.
Ootthu Thanni Aatthoda...
Vocals: Karthik, Chandrayi
Lyrics: Vairamuthu
A neat folksy number on the Natabairavi
scale with pleasing violins, so typical
of this melody-maker. Could make it to
the charts on the strength of its sultry
lyrics.
Thaekku Maramaattam...
Vocals:Manikkavinayagam,Velmurugan,
Karunanidhi, Tirutthani
Lyrics: Tirutthani, Vaiyampatti
Muthusamy
Another fast paced folk number with some
heady drum work. The lyrics are amusing,
really. Clear rendering of words from
the singers.

Ucchukkotta Icchu Vacchu...
Vocals: Gopal
Rao, Rajalakshmi
Lyrics: Arivumathi
A delightful number in the Karaharapriya raga scale
and Tisra Nadai, where the flute darts into a bit
of Hemavathi and Kanada notes, though fleetingly.
This sweet duet has been well sung too. The second
interlude on the strings with a western touch is very
nice.
Selai
Kattiya...
Vocals: Karthik,
Chitra, Roshini
Lyrics: Vairamuthu
This is a song of blessing and benediction, interlaced
with brother-sister sentiments. Energetic use of thavil,
ghatam and native drums add a festive feeling to the
song. Karthik brings a rare sowkyam to this number
with his voice. The song seems to swing between Anandabairavi
and Mohanam ragas.
Kanne
Kaniyurangu...
Vocals: Madhu Balakrishnan, Binny
Krishnakumar
Lyrics: Pachiyappan
A lullaby, this song. My, what a voice this lady has!
Her effortless high-pitched notes lend this song a
mild poignancy as do the rare ‘prayogas’
of Harikamboji raga notes used here. Madhu Balakrishnan
comes on only at the end.
Koorappattu...
Vocals: Karthik
Lyrics: Pachiyappan
A bit of a dirge, this number. Probably serves to
underline sorrow.
Verdict:
Vidyasagar strictly adheres to the theme and tone
of this rural story. But he also weaves in his creativity
here and there. High on ‘native touch’,
this album surprisingly dips a little where melody
is concerned. Let us see how they shine in the movie.
