Produced
by Pattiyal Sekar and directed
by Balaji Deviprasad, this film
stars Krishna (Sekar’s
son who did ‘Alibaba’)
and Vijayalakshmi (of Chennai-28
fame) along with V.M.C. Haneefa,
Santhana Barathi, Kumaravel
and others. It is the story
of a daredevil conman and the
film has been extensively shot
in Kashmir. Paul. J, who composed
some good music for ‘Kadhai’,
is the composer for this too.
The album lists five songs.
Kattradhu Kalavu...
Vocals: Blaaze,
Dinesh.K.
Lyrics: Blaaze,
Dinesh.K, Paul.J
A
robust hip-hop number presented
surprisingly on the Vakulabaranam
raga scale! Expressive use of
guitars and percussion instruments.
The words get drowned out sometimes.
A song that proclaims nothing
is impossible.
Indha
Vaanam Indha Boomi...
Vocals:
Hariharan, Anuradha Sriram
Lyrics: Yugabarathi

This song swings seamlessly between the
Ganta (5 beat) and chatusra (4 beat) rhythms.
Built on a rather folksy interpretation
of Sankarabaranam raga, it celebrates the
variety show that life itself is. A rather
high-pitched rendering, with good use of
drums.
Suthantiram...
Vocals:
Paul.J, Shakti Shree
Lyrics: Yugabarathi
This energetic number borders on fantasy,
but packs some sensible lyrics. The flute-like
bits are so airy and neat to listen to.
Will be fun to see how it is going to be
filmed, as it begins with sounds of a flight
taking off and ends with landing sounds.
Thevaram...
Vocals: Yogeshwaran Maanickam,
Puniyavathi Elangovan
Traditional lyrics, we have some layered
music here, with the lady singer’s
voice merging into native drum sounds and
the male singer joining in singing the same
Thevaram later. Is it filmed inside a temple?
A mild tension is felt right through the
song. Do savor the play of meanings on the
single word ‘venda’.
Azhagaana Ponnu Dhaan. Remix...
Vocals: Paul.J,
Sunandita
Well, this number could send shivers down
the spines of actress Bhanumathi’s
fans. Her well-loved Vakulabarana raga piece
has been transformed into a hip dance item.
Could find itself briefly on the charts
for its novelty alone, nothing else.
Verdict:
A rather taut album with rather stiff music
because of the strong keyboard notes and
drums. After’ Kadhai’, one wonders
how this album of Paul.J is going to be
received.
