Production: K T Kunjumon

Cast: Theja, Meera Nandan, Suhasini, Sarayu, Saranraj

Music:  Bharadwaj

Bhardwaj seems to on a roll after giving super-hit music of ‘Asal’. His latest offering is ‘Kadhalukku Maranamillai’ which is also the comeback vehicle of producer K T Kunjumon, renowned for making lavishly budgeted movies before. The lyrics have been written by two famous lyricists of Tamil cinema, Vaali and Vairamuthu. Movie has been directed by C Balaji and stars Theja, Meera Nandan, Suhasini, Sarayu, Saranraj etc. Album has been blessed by the quality voices of Chitra, Shankar Mahadevan, Benny Dayal and Karthik among others.

Album begins with ‘Ekkachakkam Ekkachakkam’ crooned by Suchitra. It is quite a different song with touch of seduction. Lyrics are fascinating and song has a rustic Arabic touch. Suchitra has done a great job here. Bhardwaj should be commended for using perfect instrumentation.

‘En Idhayam’ is the next song of the album. Sung by Bhardwaj himself and super talented Chitra, the track has a classical feel about it. Lyrics again is very impressive that makes this romantic number a good choice for this Valentine Day. Song has clear vocals and soft scale which feels very soothing.

Shankar Mahadevan and Janani have crooned ‘Ishq Ishq Kadhal’. A completely energetic song, it is more like a mix of many things. You will find fusion of east and west along with shades of Punjabi Qwwalli. Shankar, as usual, is in terrific form.

The next track is ‘Kadavule Un Kovilil’ rendered by Benny Dayal and Surmukhi. This is more like a Spanish salsa in Tamil format. A racy number with heavy instruments.

The album ends with ‘Ennalum Winner Thaan’ in the voice of Karthik. Perhaps the best song of the album backed up by Karthik’s amazing voice, wonderful lyrics and commendable music by Bhardwaj. All in all, album does offer you some noticeable variety.

Album begins with ‘Azhagu Azhagu’ rendered by Bela Shende. Though, the lyrics are not exactly on the stronger side yet the song coupled with singer’s voice has a cool appeal to it. Good beginning to the album. ‘Kacheri Kacheri’ sung by Madhushree and Mukesh is the next song of the album. Song has Imman mark all over it what with its racy music, catchy rhythms and wonderful sound quality. Both the singers have done a commendable job.

‘Kadavule’ is the track rendered by Dr Palash Sen of Euphoria fame. The song has two versions in the album. This version has a classic feel to it. Tempo is even throughout the duration of the song. D Imman, Varun and Roe Vincent have crooned together for ‘Kadavule (A Rock Star)’. Typical ‘Imman’ song with catchy lyrics as well.

Popular Hindi singer Shaan has given his voice for ‘Vithai Vithai’. Beats are energetic and will satisfy popular public demand. A peppy song, it is sure to rock the charts. The last song of the album, ‘Vaada Vaada’ has been sung by Anitha, Karthikeyan and Watta Bottles. Song is mix-up of everything including western and classical music. Perhaps, the pick of the album. An album for all the Imman fans.

‘Vinnaithandi Varuvaya’ has started making news since it started its shooting in April 2009. The first look of the film itself has mesmerized the audience and seems like this film is going to promise to become a cult in Tamil cinema. It reminds us of the most romantic moments of hit films like Kaakha Kaakha, Idhayathai Thirudathey, Minsara Kanavu and many more. Vinnaithandi Varuvaya’s music has been composed by A R Rahman. It was the first time where a Tamil film’s music was launched in London. The songs of this film are already doing the rounds of chartbusters. The music of this film was released internationally because the music has that kind of global feel to it. The lyrics for all the songs are written by Thamarai. Starring leading actors Silambarasan and Trisha, the film has high expectations from the audience.

It is said that apart from the music, the cinematography is also a highlight of the film. The film has been shot at Malta Islands. The story of this film is about an aspiring film maker who wants to make it big but on his journey he falls in love with a Christian girl and circumstances are such that he is forced to choose either his goal or his love and he’s ready to sacrifice his dream for his love.

Every Tamil movie fan must have heard of veteran filmmaker cum actor K Bhagiyaraj. He has had a successful record and his next venture Siddu Plus Two First Attempt (SPTFA) is quite promising as well. He has also been known for giving huge musical hits and this time he has teamed up with music composer Dharan. They have already worked before in ‘Parijatham’ needless to say, movie has some wonderful music.

SPTFA has Santhanu Bhagiyaraj and Chandni in lead roles. Aspects like direction, story, dialogues and screenplay have been handled by Bhagiyaraj himself. The album has total 6 songs out of which 4 has been composed by Dharan whereas Thaman and Babu Shankar has composed one each. The album is quite interesting and offers a variety of music.

The album begins with ‘Poove Poove’ that has been rendered by famous music composer Yuvan and Chinmayee. This song is best suited for taste of youngsters with its mild beats and catchy melody. ‘Poove Poove (Remix)’ is the next number rendered by Yuvan again. Quite appealing, this song has potential to lure youngsters in a big way.

Singers, Haricharan, ‘Ganja’ Karuppu, C A Raja and Maniyan have crooned next song ‘Kelu…Kelu’. A soft song with elements of humor in it. I must say, it’s an interesting experiment. Ranjith, Rahul Nambiar and Naveen have sung next song called ‘Gundu Chattikkule’. A typical youth song, this might prove to be a huge hit in coming time.

‘Money Money’ sung by Benny Dayal and Reshmi is the next song. A perfect song for discotheques, it has racy beats and peppy music. The last song of the album is ‘Naan Aalana Thamarai’ rendered by Venkat Prabhu, Suchitra and Srimathumitha. This one is a fast number and can be pick of the album. Song is quite energetic. To sum up, music of SPTFA offers variety and variation. 

Based on the theme of bank robbery, the film is pacy and full of action. Prasanna and Sibiraj make an amazing combo and the audience can be sure of expecting some real action and drama from them. Since a long time films like these haven’t been made so Naanayam will be a different experience for the viewers who have been seeing the same type of films over some time.

The music for this movie has been given by James Vasanthan. The number ‘Thanga kadhava thora da…Vanga kadalaa siri da…’ is one of the highlights of the film. Naanayam has a contemporary feel to it. The young audience will be able to relate to the film and the style of the film is also totally different. Not just songs, but the background score too is brilliantly done. In ‘Naanayam’, there is a challenging mind game between Prasanna and Sibiraj. Singer S P Balasubramaniam is also playing an important role in ‘Naanayam’ Seems like Shakti K Rajan is a promising talented filmmaker who will delight the audience with this film. The script also seems gripping. On the whole, ‘Naanayam’ will be a different experience to the audience.

Renigunta boasts of experienced singers like Harish Raghavendra, Bombay Jayashree, Vijay Yesudas and Shreya Ghosal etc. The album begins on a melodious note with ‘Mazhai Peyyum’. Well known singer Harish Raghavendra has lent his mellifluous voice to this soft song. A good beginning definitely augurs well for rest of the album.

The next song of the album is ‘Thallakulam’ sung by hugely talented Silambarasan. Surely this number is very likely to find its feet among youths because of its racy rhythms and appealing beats. A song for youths, essentially. ‘Kandaen Kanmaniyae’ crooned by Shreya Ghoshal is the next number. A very pleasant song that has simple but effective lyrics.

The famous carnatic singer Bombay Jayashri has rendered her voice to next song of the album, ‘Vizhigalilae’. It has got wonderful lyrics coupled with strong classical backing. Definitely a song worth listening to just because of Bombay Jayashri. ‘Gandharvanin Kottai’ is the next song and singer Ranjitha has sung this item song. Quite a fast and racy number.

The album finishes with ‘Vaazhkai Yaridam’ rendered by Vijay Yesudas. A touching song, this one is. All in all, album is filled with different genre of songs and it does announce the arrival of a talented music composer, Ganesh Raghavendra.

Album begins with “Puchandi Puchandi”. Arathi Kankilar has crooned this song that has good, appealing rhythms. Music lovers are expected to lap up this song pretty well. “Ragala Kaara Maaman” is the next song of the album that has D Imman himself as the singer. Song has loud and groovy music. A very fast song, it has every possibility of appealing to young generation. The interludes are quite fascinating.

“Aruvi Pola” sung by Krish is the next song of the album. Another racy number, Krish has rendered it quite well. Next number in your menu is “Ading Ading” sung by D Imman again and Rita. Needless to say, it’s a groovy number that has racy rhythms. Orchestration part is surely praiseworthy. Quite an energetic song. Next song of the album is “Odipolaama - Junkyard version” rendered by Arathi Kankilar & Dinesh Kanagaratnam. Fast and furious is how I will describe this number. It’s a good fusion of ray score and hip-hop music. Everything about the song is totally trendy. Last song of the album is “Vaalu Paiyane”, sung by Anitha & Ranjith. This one is just an average number. Overall, the album Odipolaama promises to be liked and loved by younger generation.

The album begins with “Manmada Leelaiyai” that has been crooned by Shail Hada, Nityashree and Ben G. Pa Vijay has penned the lyrics. The song has peppy beats and song is a wonderful composition using classical as well as modern beats. “Thooyavaney” is the next song of the album that has been sung by Neha Bhasin. This one is a seductive number and use of guitar and sexophone in the song is simply amazing. Quite an appealing song.

The third song of the album is “Southern Aroma” which is basically an instrumental. The music is an eclectic mix of Western and Indian rhythms. You will definitely love the use of guitar and the beats. Next song of the album is “Naangu Kangal” that has been sung by Javed Ali and Shreya Ghosal. It is a simple and soft song that has been penned by Pa Vijay. The song can become a chart topper because of its catchy racy rhythms.

“O Maria” is the next song crooned by Imman and Jyotsna. Imman himself has given his voice in this song. This song will have its moments. The next song of the album is “Sollamalae” sung by established singer Sadhana Sargam. The last song is “Baaga Unnara” and has been sung by Udit Narayan and Suvi. This one is peppy dance number. All in all, music of Avan Illai can be a big hit.
