Cinematographer turned director Jeeva's last Tamil film Dhaam Dhoom is indeed a labour of love. Unfortunately, he couldn't finish the film. He met with an untimely death in Russia where he had gone to shoot parts of the film. Jayam Ravi, Kangana Ranaut and Lakshmi Rai are in the lead roles.
We have come to expect a lot from Vidyasagar's compositions, especially if it is a film starring Vijay. Kuruvi's album, however is quite a letdown.
It is refreshing to note that Srikanth Deva has shaken off his tendency to copy others and scripted a somewhat above average fare.
Arai Enn 305 il Kadavul's album by Vidyasagar is listener friendly with the right mix of fast beats, melody and entertaining lyrics. Go for it!
The album comes in a premium pack, which includes a CD, cassette, a booklet, a brief introductory note and complete lyrics of all the tracks -- all of which are a bonus. But more than anything, listening to Santhosh Subramaniyam music really gives 'santhosham'(happiness). Go for it.
Originality and individual talent are at stake in this Tamil album. Premji Amaran will have to learn to stand on his own feet to become a successful composer.
The musician has come up with a few original and interesting tracks which have contemporary sounds replete with melody brought on by a captivating mix of instruments like the flute, harmonica, trumpet and saxophone, to mention a few. That said, Deva has not been able to shed his copycat-tendencies completely.
Vaitheeswaran album with just three tracks plus one repetition sticks to the adage 'small is beautiful'.
In spite of being an Ilayaraja album, there is nothing exceptional about Kangalum...'s music.
Yaaradi Nee Mohini could have been an excellent addition to Yuvan Shankar Raja's impressive repertoire in recent times, but for the Udith Narayan fiasco.
Srikanth Deva's music in Thotta just breezes past you with no lingering quality.
The spark Deepak showed in Malayalam is more or less missing in his Tamil debut.
Usually vocals dominate film music with instrumentals as components for accompaniment and embellishment but Anjathey is an exception -- the stress here is more on instrumental music rather than vocals with four immaculate numbers in western style stealing the show with their high emotional voltage.
Prakash offers a pleasing youth-centric aural fare that traverses between the fast and the melodious.
Unlike many of his previous albums, there are no remixes, no western instrumentation, no cosmetic gimmicks, no climbing the speed wagon with racy percussion, no cacophony of screaming vocals, and no deafening decibels.
Sabesh-Murali's musical score is unimpressive.
Music director G V Prakash Kumar has added another feather to his cap with his great music score in Vellitherai.
Pazhani album is a pot pourri of heavily borrowed tunes and lyrics, some of them from Rahman's compositions.
Stunning well-knitted rhythm arrangements, seductively lilting instrumentation, soul-melting tunes, impeccable emotion-stirring vocals, and lyrics couched in winsome language -- all in one harmonious whole producing an exotic melodious soiree.
The album has something for everyone. Bharadwaj who has scored music has introduced a few new voices. A notable album from Bharadwaj.
