Produced
under the Sarath Kumar banner, this movie is directed
by debutant director G.N.Dineshkumar. It has been shot
partly in Malaysia and Langkawi and has Sarath doing
double roles as well as six makeovers! Three heroines
are listed in the movie—Farzana, Namitha and Jayasudha.We
have Vivek and Radha Ravi too. The story is that of
a man who attempts to correct history after 30 years.
The movie is expected to be an action –packed
one with a social message too. Vidyasagar, our own melody
maker has composed 5 songs for it.

Yenathu Uyire...
Vocals: Sadhana
Sargam, Madhu Balakrishnan.
Lyrics: Jeyantha
Soft soothing lyrics, lilting notes from Sadhana( a trifle
shrill?) and as-good-as-ever singing from Madhu Balakrishnan
make this song nice to listen to. The musical interludes
are flitting and soft too-in spite of the use of keys, guitar
and rhythms. The raga feels like Hamsadvani but you hear
the ‘ma’ swara too!
Hawaii Theevil...
Vocals: KK, Sowmya Rao.
Lyrics: Pa.Vijay
Everything about this song is breezy and lighthearted—the
lyrics, guitars, keys, vocal humming and drums. As the song
unfolds you visualize grass skirts, flower garlands and
colourful shirts. A snappy dance number, probably! And good
to listen to.

Vangha
Kadal...
Vocals: Shankar Mahadevan.
Lyrics: Na.Muthukumar.
Appears to be a song of the fisherfolk. The ‘elelo’
, the guitar notes that go ‘sa sa sa;ri ri ri;
ga,ga,ga;ri ri ri’ at the start and the pleasant
vocal humming from the ladies which goes’ ma
ni pa ga pa ma ga ma ga sa’ all give you the
feel of ‘wavy’ movement. A folksy use
of the Kapi raga here,with enthusiastic singing from
Shankar Mahadevan. Good lyrics from Muthukumar.

Ore Oru...
Vocals: Vijay Yesudas, Krithika.
Lyrics: Pa.Vijay
A very trendy number, this – quite an impish
output from Vidyasagar. The violin, guitar, and keys
rapidly interweave with one another to varying rhythms.
Notice how the song picks up speed smoothly in the
second half, reminding you of dance music of Europe.
Sung with aplomb by both the singers. This stylish
number could be a hit.
Arabhi Kadal...
Vocals: Sunitha Saradhy
Lyrics: Pa.Vijay.
Don’t know why, but this song strongly reminds
you of Vasundara Das’s rendering of ‘Kichu
Kichu’ for Aegan. A seduction number and well
put together of course, but not an original tune.

Verdict:
Don’t look for routine Vidyasagar stuff this time.
This album is slick and unfussy and the songs appear to
be just a diversion. But there is an understated stylishness
about the whole thing.
