This movie has undergone various shifts right from the beginning as Selvaraghavan was drafting the script for this movie prior to that of Aayirathil Oruvan. Another bit is that he was not sure of finalizing the title until he listened to the song from Vasantha Maaligai for Sivaji Ganesan from the score of the late veteran KV Mahadevan. Now the songs are open to the audience and the scores are moderately tuned to please our emotions.
Here’s the account of the songs which are five excluding the theme tune.
1) Naan Sonnadhum Mazhaivandhucha
Lyrics: Selvaraghavan
Singers: Naresh Iyer
The simple composing of the tune needed the simplest lyrics and it is no wonder that the Selvaragavan making the dictions very colloquial and easy to remember. Being a dialogue creator he has shouldered the overall contribution of the song with this lyrical attempt. GVP has crafted a blend of melody and peppy effect to make the song highly odious while Naresh Iyer has infused a mild melody to the richest orchestration. Of late, Naresh has been refining his voice rendition to that of a classical singer. The bass effect is timely during the second stanza and the intermittent jazz on low notes adds melody. A good kick off to the album indeed.
2) Pirai Thedum
Singers: GV Prakash and Saindhavi
This song closely resembles Vizhiyi Oru Vaanavil Song from GVP’s previous album Deiva Thirumagal. However the rendition from the ideal couple, who is on the real life unification. Perhaps, the reality is adduced in the orchestration and the song rendition too. We all know how much melodious will it be when Saindhavi is at her best and this song is no exception, as the lyrics too are much devoted to that of romantic notes. Hope this number will hit the youth and in particular who are on flirtations in their affairs. A notable attempt by GVP in the company of Saindhavi.
3) Voda Voda Dhooram Korayala
Lyrics: Dhanush
Singers: Dhanush
Sounds like a number from an album and Dhanush has voiced his own lyrics for this song. GVP’s idea is to focus the instrumentation rather than the non-professional voice of Dhanush. It is not sure whether Dhanush made any insights into this song for penning the lyrics. Seems to fill in the kuttu genre and this song may attract the footloose of the front seaters. This proves to be an experiment with Dhanushs’ voice for the future songs.
4) Ennena Seidhom Ingu
Lyrics: Dhanush
Singers: Harish Raghavendra
Much akin to his brother Selvaragavan here Dhanush has entered into the landscapes of song creation. This song refers to the general world beliefs and the words are of precise and concise nature but with much ease. Dhanush attempts to inculcate the thought of loneliness and the selflessness. GVP is on the effect of converting this song into a philosophical note but is not so. The orchestration is normal and average without any remarkable notes to appreciate. The song seems to be clearly inspired from “Kaatrin Mozhi” of Mozhi and “PuthuMalar Thottu Sellum” of Poovellam Un Vaasam.
5) Kadhal En Kadhal
Singers: Dhanush and Selvaraghavan
Many decades ago, there was a song from the combination of Sivaji Ganesan and Balaji which is still a very good number to chew on the tongue – Pon Onru Kanden Pen Angu Illai – And much to our surprise this song from the combined voices of Selva and Dhanush recollects that song. The variation in pitch scale for Selva and Dhanush is apparent perhaps to differentiate the rhythmic effect. GVP has tried to make this song a free for all and it is no surprising to note that there are shadows of his uncle genius ARRahman’s tune for Mustafa Mustafa. In a way Blood is thicker than water.
6) Mayakkam Enna Theme
On the traditional rendition of theme music or a song for a film, GVP has composed this theme music to fill in the number. We have to wait and watch for what purpose this music is to be employed – for the title note or for the intermittent scenes.
===> Verdict :
In all , all the songs are quite fittingly rendered by the voices and GVP has justified the confidence reposed by Selva after the maiden attempt in Aayirathil Oruvan. What makes this album different to that of the AO is the clear classification of lyrics and theme notes unlike in Aayirathil Oruvan where the tunes were of varied notes to suit the theme. However, the album fails to make a deep impact atleast the level of Madarasa Pattinam. If taken into the account of Dhanush individually, this album is on par with GVP’s orchestration for Aadukalam. Normally Selvaragavan film songs penetrate much on the youth and this album is slightly gliding to that level.
