Sivapu Mazhai is most likely to be adorned with an entry into ‘The Guinness Book of Records’ because of the fact that it was completed in 12 days flat. Directed by V. Krishnamurthi the movie has managed to cause ripples in Kollywood. The lyrics of the movie have been penne down by Vairamuthu and Deva has composed the music. Movie has five songs and they have been well received by the masses.

The first song of the album is Thamizha Thamizha that has been rendered by incomparable S.P. Balasubramaniam. One has to admire SP because of his reservoir of energy even at the age of 60. Song has wonderful lyrics and has been sung passionately. Tamil people are bound to develop a liking for this beautiful song. Song also has a bit of rap in the middle.

The second song of the album is Kanavu Kangiren, sung by Praveena. Lyrics have natural cadence and song feels well on the ears. The rhythms are quite gentle and slowly it grows on you. The third song of the album is Kadhal Thaandi. Voice has been rendered by Haricharan and Chinmayi. Song has already made it to the charts and the best part of song is lyrics. Apart from that musical effect of guitar, flute and hand clap rhythms are well appreciated.

Next song of the movie is ‘Unarcchigalai Vazhavidu’ and vocals by Srikant Deva and Suchitra. It is basically a dance number and one is sure to enjoy it. The last song of the album is ‘Porkkalathil Kadhal’ with vocal contribution by Suresh Joachim and Vijitha. The song has new but interesting music interludes and both singers have given their best.

Some music combinations are too hard to resist. Take for example, filmmaker Ameer and music composer Yuvan Shankar Raja. These two have always produced scintillating songs in tandem. Something magical just gets created when the duo team up. One can vividly remember their earlier hits, ‘Mounam Pesiyadhe’ and ‘Paruthiveeran’. Yogi aims to be the next in the hit list of these two. However, role is slightly changed this time. Ameer is making his debut as an actor and the movie is directed by Subramaniam Siva. What sets this album apart from others is smart usage of instrumentation by Yuvan Shankar Raja and wonderful lyrics penned down by Snehan.

The first song of the album is ‘Yogi Yogi Thaan’ and sung by Blaze and Neha Bhasin. Quite a peppy song, this is sure to impress you. This song also sets the momentum for rest of the album. Yuvan is known for using his orchestration in an appealing fashion and here, it is no exception. This song has all the signs of becoming a chart buster.  The second song is ‘Yaarodu Yaaro’ and rendered by Yuvan himself and Ustad Sultan Khan. A lovely mellifluous song, the song boasts of wonderful rhythms. You will remember this song as a soft and stylish one.

‘Yogi Theme’ in Saarangi is the next one in the list and rendered by Ustad Sultan Khan. The amazing combination of instrument and singer does wonders for this song. It is definitely a ‘Hat Ke’ song. Next number is ‘Seermevum Koovathiley’. Sung by talented bunch of Ameer, Naveen, Snehan and Jijuba, one can also call it the pick of the album. The main features of the song are rural beats, rhythmic music and beautiful lyrics. The last one is Yogi Theme music (instruments). A perfect example of fusion music, the theme music is sure to make a place in your heart.

The songs of Eeram have been composed by Thaman and I must say, he has managed to impress us. The guy is surely is talented one as he also earned god reviews for his acting in Shankar’s Boys. His earlier movie ‘Sinthanai Sei’ proved to be a rage amongst youngsters and Eeram promises to recreate his magic. The movie has been directed by Arivazhagan. Songs of the movie are very simple and charming. Music is definitely different and theme music will impress you. The album has three songs.

The first number is ‘Mazhaiye Mazhaiye’ and sung by Ranjith. Music of the song focuses more on voice and less on instrumentation. It is a soft and touching song that will tug at your heartstrings. Ranjith has done a commendable job and lyrics have done full justice to the rendering. The next song is ‘Tharai Erangiya’ that has been sung by Suchitra. The song thrives on orchestration and rhythm. This song is really different and not at all your run of the mill kind of stuff.

The third number is ‘Saaral En’ and sung again by Ranjith. Probably the pick of the lot, Saaral will take your breath away with its voice and harmony. One is sure to love this masterpiece. Finally, the theme of the Eeram, is quite appealing and alluring. Mixing together of different sounds does some wonders and you are left wanting for more. Instrumentation work is very interesting and chorus is effective as well. Thaman has surely done a good job and promises a lot. This youngster seems to have what it takes to become a hit in kollywood.
