This
year is just not Rahman’s year. We
did not mean to be rude but there is no
better way to express it though. Despite
his brilliant efforts, the year’s
much-hyped Surya – Jyothika starrer
SOK only managed to register average collections
all over. While this could well be termed
that Rahman’s magic did not work out
with the movie, Rahman’s work was
exceptional in SOK.
The
songs are chartbusters and are here
to stay for months together on top
of the charts. His Newyork Nagaram
and Munbe Vaa are no lesser than masterpieces
that showcase his unparallel musical
excellence. The background score too
was outstanding and has blended well
with the movie.
Rahman has the mega movie Sivaji in
his kitty up next and the combination
of Shankar and Rahman has always generated
smash hits with movies like Kadhalan,
Gentleman, Indian, Mudhalvan, and
Boys. To be precise, Shankar’s
career spanned around Rahman and his
music played an imperative role in
the success of Shankar’s films.
It
is high time now for Rahman to recreate
his musical spell with Sivaji. Let us
hope that Sivaji will bring back the monster
talent back to the Tamil movies.
