A
remake of the 2009 Telugu film ‘Kick’,
this movie, produced by Editor Mohan and
directed by M. Raja, stars his brother
Jayam Ravi, Tamannah, Vadivelu, Prabhu
Ganesan, Santhanam, Suhasini Mani Ratnam
and others. Thillalangadi is supposed
to be an action comedy. Yuvan Shankar
Raja and Sai Thaman have together composed
the songs for the album. Seven tracks
are listed here. With Sun Pictures releasing
the movie, there has already been a lot
of hype surrounding it.
Ding Ding..
Vocals: Vijay Prakash,
Naveen
Lyrics: Viveka
This song is likely to find favor among
the young ones for its amusing lyrics
which almost beg the ladylove to act pricey
and stiff to add thrill to the wooing
game! The neat string bits and bright,
foot-tapping rhythms also up the charm
quotient of this number which vaguely
glides over Mohanam and Bilahari ragas.

Sol Pecchu Ketkaatha...
Vocals: Yuvan, Chitra, Shreya Ghosal
Lyrics: Na. Muthukumar
The airy flute bits, guitars and keyboard notes in
Natabairavi raga guide this song which is based on
jaunty rhythms. Pleasant singing from both the ladies,
but one wishes the background music had been a little
muted.
Pootta Parthadhum...
Vocals: Suchitra
Lyrics: Viveka
Music: S. Thaman
Ah! The mandatory ‘arm-flexing’ number
that serves to project the larger-than-life image
of the hero. Can leave even James Bond cringing! All
the heavy build-up in the form of thundering guitars,
drums and chorus end up as slightly comical, but you
have to admit that the song has been differently conceived.
Memory
Loss...
Vocals: Kailash Kher, Ranjith
Lyrics: Viveka
A song that revels in its own irrelevance! Obviously,
a song of drunken revelry, it has a tinge of amusement
to it and Kailash Kher brings a feisty ‘folk’
effect to the whole thing. Tabla and dholak(?) add
their bit too. Can take off depending on the picturization.
The song touches upon Manirangu raga, but one can’t
be sure.
Pattu
Pattu...
Vocals: Simbu, Manasi Scott
Lyrics: Na. Muthukumar
A spunky dance number with quite a bit of synthesized
sounds thrown in, but the background music just stops
short of cacophony. Could be liked for the lively
rendering of both the singers.
Idhayam
Karaigiradhe...
Vocals: Sri Vardhini
Lyrics: Viveka
Music: S. Thaman
A short and really sweet number, with hollow drums
and a muted voice adding delight. Could jump on to
the charts for its simple melody
Thothu
Ponen...
Vocals: Shankar Mahadevan
Lyrics: Viveka
Mmm… an interesting thought here, which exhorts
you to embrace and celebrate defeat, as it is a bigger
teacher than victory. Vettri kooda vengayam dhaan
jeyicchu paarthaa’ is an amusing line. Some
exquisite rhythm arrangement and Shankar Mahadevan’s
voice add richness. Songs 5, 6 and 7 seem to be based
on the Karaharapriya scale. The ‘ga ri ri sa’
phrase is used attractively.
Verdict:
Thaman’s music adds a refreshing touch to the
other songs. The songs are clearly meant for the youth
brigade, and may need strong support from the movie
itself to take off (like ‘Paiyaa’ numbers).
Otherwise they may just create a momentary splash.
But this is certainly a lively album. |
