Satyam - True expectations

I was never a big fan of Vishal , but never had a problem with his movies. His choice of scripts is impressive , he knows his boundaries and makes sure the scripts he chooses is within that . He never had a flop ( yeah , all of them made money ) , never had an opportunity to mouth over the top dialogues .

WHen he announced that he was doing a police man , i did chuckle a bit , but his six pack did shut my mouth a bit . I was sure that the mixture of technical crew and script wouldn't let his convictions down , but his vocal chord sometimes does. Hope he modifies and modulates his voice call to be frequently spoken about in FMs :))

Sathyam has nayantara , whose dress budget seem to spiral downward and a prem gi who doesnt disappoint. Songs by HJ had a lukewarm response, but i felt otherwise. And when a film booms , the songs too , with thords striking the right tone!

The pre-release hype has made sure that satyam's satyam release is House full 3 days before the release ! Let me wish vishal good luck - I don't want another vijay , ajith but somebody unique , atleast in choice of scripts.

The trailer does serve the purpose - its a commercial movie with some talking by muscles , be it Vishal or nayantara . It would be interesting if Upendra is given a role that commensurates with his salary !

Music review Satyam: truly Not bad

I would'nt say the sound track is bad. After multiple listens the energy of Ada Gada ,mellifluous chellame ,ambient en anbe are impressive. Premji is indeed cool !

But hariharan's bad singing and a song like Paal papaali in a supposedly sleek movie does irk me a bit. Neverthless ,vishal is a clever guy , the papaali song would be sandwiched nicely.

Not sure why they have labelled this as harri's worst .This is Ok sound track to me , which gets better on multiple listening, of course you get used to the recipe of Harris jeyaraj.

Only complaint aaradi kaathe could have been sung by shankar Mahadevan.

Score : 29/50
