En 305il Kadavul: Music review By
Malathy Sunderam |
|
An
eagerly awaited summer special from the house of Shankar
(producer) with Simbudevan as director and Vidyasagar
scoring the music. As per the director's own words,
this movie features two well known comedians Ganja Karuppu
and Santhanam as heroes based out of the middle-class
belt of Triplicane. They appear as Raasu and Mokkai.
They undergo an odd fantasy experience halfway through
the movie with amusing results. Madhumitha and

Jyothirmayee are the two heroines. Five songs are featured
in the movie.
Adadada:
Lyrics: P.Vijay, Vocals:
Vineeth, Jayamurthi
The fun conversation at the beginning indicates clearly that
the heroes are in the middle of a fantasy. They appear to
be on the moon! Cheeky references to the 'moon' culled from
old movies makes one smile. They feel God-like, and plan to
expand over Jupiter, Mars, practically everywhere! Funky synthesizer-music
reinforces the fantasy feeling. Impish, Latin music-like effort
from a melody master!
Kadhal Sei:
Lyrics: N.Muthukumar, Vocals:
Vidyasagar
A nice surprise from Vidyasagar! The song advocates an expansive
flow of love that reminds you of J.Krishnamurthy! Nature,
life, people, animals, nothing is spared. We are asked to
embrace everything. Sunny beats too! Vaguely reminds you of
'Unnai Arindaal' from an old MGR movie. Even the tone of the
song has a distinct MGR feel to it. Pleasant lyrics from Muthukumar.
The whistling at the end is quite jaunty. Vidyasagar sounds
somewhat tentative here.

Poovukkum:
Lyrics: Kabilan, Vocals:
Shreya Ghosal
The song opens with energetic drumbeats that beautifully
slide into a folksy 'Themmangu' beat immediately.
Portrays the heady romantic feelings of a young girl
in love. The mellifluous voice of Shreya effortlessly
pours forth many shades of emotions. Lovely use of
the shehnai. The refrain ‘Iyaare Iyaare manam
thayyare thayyare' is very hummable. The song has
a nice 'Kerala' rhythm to it. With evocative photography,
could become a hit.

Thenralukku Nee:
Lyrics: Yugabharathi, Vocals:
Karthik and Swetha Mohan
Images from everyday life that portray sweet togetherness
have been lyrically strung together in this duet.
Phrases like 'Muttratthukku nee Veppamaram' are lovely.
What is interesting about this song is that the interludes
seem to do some 'billing and cooing' of their own.
Makes you wonder how it has been filmed. Quite cute,
really.
Kuraionrum illai:
Lyrics: Muthulingam, Vocals:
Harini
A surprising twist to the well-known M.S.Subbulakshmi
hit originally composed by Rajaji. Of course only
the pallavi is used

|
|
here.
Simple but inspiring lyrics. Sung plaintively in a sweet
voice by Harini.The interludes faithfully follow the raga
Sivaranjani right through. Haunting use of flute. leisurely
beats befitting the mood of the song.
Aavaaram:
A nice variation of song three…probably with the second
heroine?
Verdict:
Usually melody-conscious Vidyasagar has attempted a slightly
different modern kind of music here, probably in keeping
with the unusual theme of the story. He has to be appreciated
for not resorting to aggressive beats that sometimes leaves
you all knotted up inside with tension! The songs take time
to grow on you. A nice try!
