Being a Rahmaniac for long time, but never wrote a review for his albums so far. The album "Kaaviyath thalaivan" made me to write a review on it's music.
The album got 7 songs. First of all, I would say this album is the less satisfied one in near times, in terms of listening to it for the first time. Not to forget, the music has been composed to give justice for the period of time the movie's plot had happened. It was on late 1920s, therefore the music is totally mingled with 1930 style instruments and vocals. And the movie itself is about a drama group which was known as "madhurai Sri balashanmuga naadaga sabha".
As in recent times, as all the songs Sujatha Mohan and ARR duo worked with was a hit, this album also has one song "yaarumillaa thaniarangil" which makes goosebumps even when you play it in repeat mode! This girl got a pure magical voice as her mother's, and the magician gives equal support to this beautiful melody.
The second most favourite song in the list for me is "aye Mr. Minor enna paakira". A lovely double voice of Shashaa tirupati, and haricharan, one of the best of young singers from our time, have absolutely nailed it! This songs reminds the song from iruvar too, "hello mister ethirkatchi".
The third one I liked is "vaanga makka vaanga". It was the song released first before the audio release. From the day it released, it was repeated in my iTunes, that much nice song it is. Perfect introduction for the drama group of late thirties.
The other one I admired is "sollividu sollividu" by mukesh. This song is about the Geetha ubadhesham. Arjuna asking at load Krishna to stop the war, in other words known as "karna motcham". The finishing stanzas are beautifully penned and equally composed by Rahman, genious he is!
There are 3 more songs, "sandi kuthirai", "alli Arjuna", a mix of whole bit songs, and "eninai neenini" from thiruppuhazh, sung by vaani jayaram. These are not so impressive, but would be giving justice to them once we listen to it with the film.
Now it's time for me to make my iTunes play them in repeat mode, take care guys!
