Uyirodu Uyiraaga - Old Review

Uyirodu Uyiraaga, is another successful album from immensely talented and still vastly underrated MD Vidyasagar. There are six songs in this soundtrack, all of them are unique and great to listen to.

Soundtrack starts with I Love You by K.K. and new singer Nandhini. It is a usual Vidyasagar dance number, - catchy tune and great beats. Lyrics are also very smartly written. Overall, this song is a sure chart topper, targeted toward young listeners.

Second song NOTHING, is another dance number, inspired by Take it easy from Kadhalan. Harini, another talented singer, shows her promise with the usual tamilish lyrics dominating the song. This song is already started appearing in the top 10 charts.

Ajeeth and Richcha in Uyirodu UyiraagaWith two good dance numbers to start with, it is time to for some melodious numbers, and as expected third song Anbe Anbe, is a soft melody, with Hariharan and Chitra singing at their best. Vidyasagar usually gives one or two great melody numbers in each of his albums like Priyam Priyam (Priyam), Malare Mounamaa? (Karna) and recently Vaa Sakhi
(Arasiyal) This song deserves to be mentioned along with these great songs. It is a kind of song, you want to sing along with and sounds equally great with ear phones.

Poovukellam, next song starts with a great guitar piece and maintains that quality throughout the song. Vidyasagar has tried some new music patterns in the interludes, and shows that why he is one of the talented musicians in Tamil Film Music today. A great song to hum and to enjoy; it will end up as one of the very unique songs in TFM history. Lyrics are also great.

Next song, Vanna kiLi, starts as a classical based song, turns mid-way and ends as a modern song. Again, Vidyasagar's interlude music is great. He tries new age music in the interludes and concludes the song in great fashion. This song may not be a great, hummable number, but nevertheless another immensely enjoyable song.

Last one, Nadhi Yenge, looks like a sad song sung by Ganshyam Vaswani in an atrocious tamil accent. One can not miss again Vidyasagar trying some unique music pieces in the interludes, which goes great with the song.

Overall, a great soundtrack from Vidyasagar after the successful Arasiyal, and he proves once again that he has everything to dominate TFM with his unique and innovative music. I bought this CD for Jeans, and was happy to get a Vidyasagar film along with that. After hearing both, I may want to feel the other way around.

My top 10 - 80's tamil movies

Nenjathai Killadhe It is a Lovely film, with very good camera work and mind blowing music by raja. Film was about a young modern girl, who struggling to live with her abusive sister in law, despite having a loving brother. After finding that the her lover was a coward, she was forced to marry her brother's friend. The rest of the story was how she went about accepting her husband. Very different film from mahendran, probably a trendsetter for later films like mouna ragam. All the actors/actress(s) in the film did a good job, though sharat babu deserved special mention. Vaideghi Kathirundhal - This Film came in the time, when assistants of bharathi raja were coming in large numbers to give lot of good films. Directed by R.sundarajan, who already gave hits like payangalmudivathillai before. What I liked in this movie was the way director combined three small separate stories together and built the film. One of vijaykanth's early hit film. Raja teamed up with jayachandran and g...

Mumbai Express audio Review

What This is the 30th year in Illayaraja's life as a film Composer. 30 years is usually a very long time for indian music directors. Most of them fade away in 10 years. Only very few managed to survive for a decade or more, no one can for 30 years and still be respected. It is true that for the last 10 years, he painted himself in a corner with the choice of movies and songs not aimed for commercial and countdown programs, and abdicated rightfully, once what was his, the leading person to define and reshape the popular film music, to other younger music directors. Still it is remarkable that he retained relevance for his presence, though he struggled to find that new sound and direction, which can be all of his own. My first reaction after hearing Mumbai Express songs, at last it looked like he might have found one. How Apart from being one of the best in what ever he tried, Kamalhassan also have another one in abdunace, that is loyality. If he likes some one, and admires their ski...

Old Reviews -

I decided to collect all my ramblings happened in my life here, which is few anyway, but significant, considering how lazy generally I am always. Usually it was like writing one long sentence in one month, and another month to read it back and another one to post. This is one of the grand old reviews, I wrote in the Indolink website. It used be a good website for tamil films related, and they had few decent interviews with tamil movie personalities. I wonder, What happened to Sandhya and Krishana, who used to run the website. Anyhow here comes the first one. Unnai Thaedi , the upcoming Sundar C.. film, has music by Deva replacing Karthik Raja, who did the music honors in his last movie Naam Iruvar Namakku Iruvar. As in the case of Sundar C. movies, Pazhani Bharathi has done most of the lyric work in this album. The next song, NaaLai Kaalai/Dhachayani Dhaiyavu Sei , is a peppy number, with Hariharan trying to do SPB tricks. His voice is too stiff to do gimmicks of this sort...
