the slot of music composer and has tuned six songs here.
Aaradi Ratchasano...
Vocals: Sheyl Hatha , Kumar Sanu and
Shreya Ghosal
Lyrics: Na. Muthukumar
A true melody, this , set to the three-beat rhythm (
tisram) and |

|
flowing
along with the delicate drizzles of the santoor ( truly
good), violin( short sweet notes) Aguitar and a surprise
bit of sitar in the line’ Ethetho Maayam---‘.
The drums do please. The male voice is smooth on the ears,(
is it Sanu or Hatha?) but Shreya simply steals your heart.
Is the raga Madhyamavathi or Sree?
Chinna Kozhundanaare...
Vocals: Sadhana Sargam
Lyrics:
Na. Muthukumar
How delightful to hear Sadhana belt out such a ‘native’
number! a silly but smile-worthy song which has the lady
of the house mocking her brother-in-law big time! The rollicking
tavil beats, the impish nagaswaram sangatis all through
the song, the ‘urumi melam’ effect and of course
the guitar—watch out for it in the second interlude
and the second charanam, all put together well. Seems set
on Kiravani scale. High on mazaa!

Oram
po Oram po...
Vocals: Arjith,Ranjith,Karthikeyan
Lyrics:
Gangai Amaran
Another song set to the beat of native drums ( thavil
mainly) with some nagaswaram, guitar and a few violin
pieces blending in vigorously. Appears to be a song
eulogizing ‘Annan’ probably the hero!
The first line recalls an old hit, but that is just
about it.

Shokku Sundar...
Vocals: Anitha Suvi
Lyrics: Na. Muthukumar
This song is a slinky seductive number sung in a slightly
nasal voice and the song runs smoothly like a train,
with no high or low-pitched notes. Has of course a
middle-eastern feel to it. The rhythms employed are
interesting and so is the flute bit two minutes into
the song. Obviously a ‘come hither’ dance
number.
Vaadi en Vasappadi...
Vocals: Devan
Lyrics: Na. Muthukumar
Once again, a rhythm-oriented number with energetic
thavil and drums, with the guitar showing up now and
then, with keys. We get to hear Devan after a long
time. A song inviting a girlfriend home. A very ‘southern’
mettu, but not original, so to speak.

Verdict:
D.Imaan has used live orchestra here, which needs to be
applauded. A couple of songs have fairly original tunes
and are hummable. Maybe the repetitive fast rhythms are
‘Sundar-specific!’ we can certainly look forward
to more variety from this young man in future if he puts
his mind to it. The lyrics—what lyrics?
