review By
Malathy Sundaram |
|
Directed
by Vincent Selva. Starring Sundar.C, Namitha, Vivek
and Meenakshi, Music Director Srikanth Deva.
Kabilan has written the lyrics for the movie with Srikanth
Deva tuning the songs. Songs for Sundar’s movies
are generally put together in a rather cavalier fashion
and they appeal more to the B and C centres, so to speak.
Let us see what Srikanth Deva has in store for us. |

Enna Enna Seyya…
Vocals: Sumangali
A ‘come hither’ song, probably conceived with
Namitha’s oomph in mind! Sexy, suggestive lyrics and
sung in a seductive voice by Sumangali. But what appeals
in this song, thankfully, is the sprinkle of saxophone,
trumpet, guitar and violin at regular intervals. ‘Enna
Enna’ which goes’ sa ri ga ma—ga ri sa
sa’(notes) is a pleasant opening. Looks like Karaharapriya
raga.

Yaedacchum
Solliduven…
Vocals: Anuradha Sriram
Now, this is an ‘Agmark’ Srikanth Deva
song—a breezy ‘avial’ of some old
folk melodies. You get to remember’ O rasikkum
seemane ‘, ‘Azhagaana ponnuthaan’
and some others! Anuradha’s relish for such
songs is very apparent in the way she’s warbled
it! Some good thavil beats, trumpet sounds alone add
colour to this. The song itself appears to be sung
by a ‘lady pettai dadha’.

Yaen Kedutthey…
Vocals: Benny Dayal, Suchitra Raman
What on earth is Srikant Deva attempting to do here?
This song has been heavily ‘inspired’
by the old MGR hit ‘Kumarippennin ullatthile’.
In fact a few passages have been coolly lifted too.
But the sax interludes are interesting as is the keyboard.
Benny Dayal sounds surprisingly nasal! Suchitra has
a pleasing high pitched voice. The same Sindubairavi
raga could have been better used by the composer.
Enna Enna-Remix…
Vocals: Sumangali
This is just a remixed and rhythm oriented version
of song no.1. The rhythm pads and drums come on strongly,
robbing the piece of any melody.

Kadhal Vaibhogame…
Vocals: Arivunidhi, S.Janaki
Another remix of the old ,very popular song of yesteryears.
A jovial use of trumpets, native drums and ‘Thamukku’
enliven it. Janaki is such a pleasure to listen to.
Verdict:
Has Srikanth Deva forgotten the lovely piece he composed
for ‘Thenavattu’-‘enge irundhai---‘?
Why has he put together such a flippant album? Even if budget
dictated his movies, this is not what one expects of him!
Listeners have a right to expect more creativity from this
composer.
