Thoranai,
produced under the GK banner
(Vishal’s Home Production),
which is directed by debutant
Sabha Iyappan, stars Vishal,
Shriya Saran, Prakash Raj,
Santhanam, Meenakshi and others.
This movie is being simultaneously
released in Telugu too. Mani
Sharma has tuned six songs
for the album, with one song
being repeated. How much of
Telugu flavor does this album
exude? Let us check out.

Vedi Vedi Saravedi---
Vocals:
Ranjith, Navin
Lyrics: Vivekaa
Though you are tempted to say that this
song is nothing different from the usual
fast-paced title songs, there is something
peppy about this rendition that could
be catchy, as there is a frequent variation
of rhythm patterns. Ranjith and Navin
combine well. This song is on the Natabairavi
scale.
Vaa Chellam---
Vocals: Udit Narayan
Lyrics: Pa. Vijay
A breezy, comical number, this! And no
claims to originality, either, being a
mix of musical forms! But it amuses you
because of the lyrics where the chorus
goes warning the heroine all the time
and ends up surveying the damage done!
Lively guitar bits, sax and violins add
value to this song in the ‘thisra’
(3) beat rhythm. Udit Narayan is as lively
as ever! Could hop on to the charts.
Pattuchaaa---
Vocals: Vijay Yesudas,
Janani
Lyrics: Kabilan
Quite a cute melody! Never mind the distinct
‘Andhra’ stamp to it. And
with Shriya’s dancing skills, it
could be a hot one too. Conceived on the
Karaharapriya scale, this song has a refreshing
blend of native percussion instruments
(like ghatam), and the drums. Of course,
you hear some guitar, veena and keyboard
sounds too. There is an attractive shyness
about Vijay’s rendering.
Pelican Paravaigal---
Vocals: Ranjith, Rahul,
Ritha, Jai.
Lyrics: Vaali
Gosh! Vaali remains so young at heart!!
Just listen to the fun lyrics! The song
itself is a trendy mix of western and
Indian rhythms and quite hummable. One
wishes the lady singer’s pronunciation
was better. This number too could make
it to the charts.
Vaa Chellam---
Vocals: Ranjith
Ranjith adds his own pleasant touch to
this repeat number.
Manjasela Mandakini---
Vocals: Tipu, Saindhavi
Lyrics: Pa. Vijay
A
typical Andhra-style kutthupaattu, which
probably could serve as a platform to
showcase Shriya’s dancing skills
nothing more!
Verdict:
Mani Sharma has moved slightly away from
his typical stuff to project a youthful
raciness here, which could have been the
director’s aim, anyway. Attractive
rhythms and stylish music is what this
album is about. Don’t look for any
lingering melody.
