Srikanth
Deva has tuned five songs for the movie with Na.Muthukumar
penning lyrics for all the five! The film itself is
supposed to be an action entertainer. Well, going by
the racy songs, it mostly certainly seems so!
Usilampatti Sandhayile
Vocals: Mahalakshmi Iyer, Senthil Dass,
Shankar Mahadevan
This song features very lively Nagaswaram interludes. |

Shankar Mahadevan’s voice seems to convey winks and
naughty smiles. Thavil and salangai add to the total mood,
with varied rhythms. The lyrics are basically functional
with one or two lovely images thrown here and there. If
the picturisation carries the same amount of spontaneity,
it could be a delight to watch. The song gently touches
upon Sankarabaranam and Kiravani ragas.

Irundhai
Vocals: Harish Raghavendra
Well conceived and melodious. What pleases the ear
is the imaginative use of violins. Solo from a love-lorn
soul, so to speak! The refrain' Tholil saayum podhu'
in high pitch adds the right touch of dramatic contrast
to the low pitched rendering. The raga Kaapi seems
to have been used imaginatively here. Has every right
to jump up the charts soon.

Enakkena Pirandhavalo
Vocals: Karthik, Suchitra, Arun
''Sa ga ma pa ma ga sa ni sa' is really an attractive
phrase and the song itself is modelled on it. Suddha
danyasi inspired? Lyrics are surprisingly mundane,
coming from Muthukumar! What could have effortlessly
turned into a neat melody is slightly hampered by
harsh articulation and heavy rhythms.
Pattampoochi
Vocals: Krish and Chinmayee
Interestingly, everything about this song is soft
and flitting--like the movement of a butterfly. The
constant use of the word' parakkudhu' right through
the song reinforces the soft feel. Not to mention
the harmonica in the beginning.

Onnu rendu
Vocals: Tippu and Ganga
Here comes the mandatory, folksy group song! Probably sung
by friends of the hero! Light hearted lyrics and a jaunty
rendering complete the picture. A mood of gay abandon pervades
the song. The refrains in what appears to be Mohana raga
are quite funny! Again you hear a bit of Kiravani. Could
make it to the charts, too.
Verdict:
Srikanth Deva has thankfully put' Nepali' behind him. Let
us fervently hope that he explores melodic aspects more,
without sacrificing himself to rhythm. Na.Muthukumar seems
to have taken things lightly here. Does the movie dictate
it?
