Varnam Aayiram ( Music Review) - Nooru !

Distortion guitar distracts me sufficently in Adiye Kolluthae , inspite of the Harris jeyaraj's typical good-melody, gibberish words that coated , wrapped with sugary voices and Krish's singing and sufficently mature shruti Hassan.Sudha Raghunathan carries the baton from Bombay jayashree and continues the honey-moon with annal melae, with some throwback to the MS SUbhulakshmi's times , pleasantly done !Oh Shanthi Oh SHanthi might as well be with nerves of romantic folks ,with charan following his dad's legacy , only i hate that oh shanthi oh shanthi humming.

Naresh Iyer delivers well in Mundhinam , with surya's voice as a prelude will go well with people who liked muthal Naal onru (unnale Unnale) , but not with me , though i like this more than the unnale unnale song. Harris gave a great number with Hariharan in Mungil kaadukalae , but the minute i heard the prelude, it brought me down , but again lifted me with MSV kind of tune . Well done ! AA h the same Oh SHanthi , Oh SHanthi and yet i liked in this !
And of course you can forget being called as gay and kiss the hands of the guitarist . Splendid stuff !

Harris's genes are quite evident in Aethi aethi , sufficently energetic , the same feeling i had when i heard Oh maama maama in Minnale , esp the naan raaj naan raaja is just cool man .A song where irrespective of where u are , gonna like it immensely.

Ava enna is OK , nothing to complain . Unfortunately i heard it after aethi aethi and so just felt it as OK. Gautam should recommend paying more to Harris !

42/50

Mallepuvvu - The ramp goes up !

When i saw that Mallepuvvu had 9 songs , honestly i never got a 'high' feeling. I was more afraid of a composition of 2 melodies, 3 dappanguthus , 1 hero worship , 3 so so songs and passable theme .

Passable is wrong , the theme piece is indeed superb .The adjective finds a brother in the suvi suvi with effervesce orchestration and a parody " Bhava sings nice". The title song almost had 'timeless' passages , but it falls short of Niram pirithu experience , nevertheless its nice, if you can forget not so good synth that has become a signature these days in raaja's music.

Tippu singing in Raaja ,except for the "ithuvarai naan' number in some Z-grade movie never created any kind of enthusiasm to look forward. Thats further reiterated partially by the Lokam song , but raaja comes up with an ear- popping Hero Nonaechene , a song with subdued yet poppish orchestration - whatever it is , is a pleasant surprise .

Gajula and Chandamama, a song that would have been much much better had SPB sung brought my interest back the second time i heard , while Vasthava Naatho is melodious considering that Malathi had sung it , if you take into account the ear drum obliterator 'manmatha Rasa' :)

This leaves with Chirugali , a song that is totally belongs to the border of timeless classics .

First UO, dhanam and now this - this is certainly upward trend to an good extent , although still short of the timless classics he has produced. My last sentence is going to irk some sincere fans.

Score : 37/50
