Produced
by M. Balasubramanian and B.
Gurunath Meyyappan and directed
by B. Babu Sivan, this much-hyped
film of Vijay could be released
for Diwali. Vijay appears to
play the role of an autorikshaw
driver who wishes to ‘bring
peace’ to the country.
Anushka Shetty, Salim Ghouse,
Vivek, Srihari and Srinath star
along with him. Many racy action
sequences in this movie appear
to have been done boldly by
Vijay himself, which could be
a treat for his fans. The music
for this film has been composed
by Vijay Antony (whose ‘Ninaithale
Inikkum’ has been doing
pretty decently).
Puli Urumuthu---
Vocals: Ananthu,
Mahesh Vinayakram.
Lyrics: Kabilan
A song full of hyperbolic expressions,
obviously an action-packed number!
Heavy use of Indian percussive
instruments characterize this
song which takes off in the
madhyama shruti with shades
of Mayamalavagowla raga .

The
relentless pace of the song could add to
the dramatic effect on screen.
Chinna Thamarai---
Vocals: Krish, Suchitra,
English Rap: Bone Killer, Tamil Rap: Dinesh
Kanagarathinam.
Lyrics: Viveka
Plenty of keyboard sounds, we have here.
The rather strident rhythms somehow seem
to rob the song of any melody. The Tamil
rap bit sounds cool. The lyrics are crisp.
Naan
Adiccha---
Vocals: Shankar Mahadevan.
Lyrics: Kabilan
Poor Shankar Mahadevan tries his very best
to infuse a spark into this song (probably
the title number) but to no avail. The beats,
the lyrics and the sentiments expressed
(akin to MGR songs) are pretty jaded. A
wee bit of gibberish in between, in trademark
Vijay Anthony style! Strictly for Vijay
fans. The start, though, is pretty stylish,
with the Karaharapriya notes going ‘sa
ni sa,sa ni sa, sa ni dha ma pa---pa ma
ga---sa’. And there is a cute bit
by Vijay’s son Sanjay at the end!
Karikalan---
Vocals: Surchith, Sangeetha
Rajeswaran.
Lyrics: Kabilan
A very cheerful, smile-worthy duet based
on the Tilang raga, which may hit the charts
soon. Lovely inputs from the strings and
percussive instruments. Well sung too, especially
Sangeetha. The impish background vocals
hold up the folksy mood of the song well.
En
Ucchi Mandai---
Vocals: Krishna Iyer, Shoba
Sekar, Charulatha Mani, Shakthi Sree.
Lyrics: Annamalai
Another very typical Vijay number, with
predictably fast rhythms and blasé
lyrics. How many such songs must Vijay endure
before he moves on?
Verdict:
Vijay Anthony appears to have been trapped
by the image of actor Vijay (as a dancer)
which seems to have narrowed his musical
options. The songs, coming one after another,
sound similar rhythm-wise. One sincerely
hopes the film has been crafted well and
does not sink like ‘Kuruvi’
or ‘Villu’, in which case, the
songs could be forgotten in a trice.
