Kuselan Audio

Today the audio track of Rajnikath's next filck 'Kuselan' was released. This is the first blog I’m writing about the Audio of a movie. Instead of writing about my current favorites “JTYJN”, “ADA”, or Dhaam Dhoom, I’m writing this though I’m not a Rajni fan. The thing that surprised me is the Music Director, GV Prakash.

Even A.R.Rahman didn’t get a chance to compose music for a Rajni film even after he getting the National Award for Debut film. He got the chance for Muthu after 4 years. But GV Prakash, who was a kid when he sang the first line for “Kuluvaalile… muthu vannallo…” got the chance at the early stage of his career.

1. Chaaral - My fav song of the album as it’s sung by my Sweet Heart Shreya Ghoshal.
This is a rain song. It’s based on the raga Chala Naattai so it obviously reminds “Pani vizhum malar vanam…” and “Chennai Senthamizh…”. But it makes us feel the rain.

2. Cinema Cinema – This song is sung by Shankar Mahadevan. It not about pride of the Cinema but a song for Superstar…But the lyrics are pretty good in the Pallavi but the Charanam is the “Pugazh Maalai” for Rajnikanth.

3. Om Zaarare - This is sung by Daler Mehndi, Chitra and Sadhana Sargam. Daler Mehndi’s humming reminds the voice of Kamal in “Oh oh sanam…”
Again it’s a song for Rajni where the lyrics are full of his movies Pokkiri Raja, Polladhavan, Annamalai, Veera, Maaveeran, Paayum Puli, Thillu Mullu , Thappu thaalam, Chandramukhi, Ejaman, Padayappa..... Sadhana’s dominates the whole song and Chitra is over-shadowed.

4. Perinba – Kailash Kher and Prasanna have sung this song. Kailash’s Tamil is better than Mehndi’s. In fact his Tamil is better than some Tamil singers. He has a folk style of voice like Manikka Vinayagam. Once again a song abt Rajini’s Arumai perumai… aaawwww…..

5. Sollamma Chinnamma – This duet is sung by Hariharan and Sujatha. Thank God, at last, a song for the ‘Kuselan’ Pasupathi. I could picturise a poor family singing this song happily in a village without any worry for money.

“Maadi veettil vegumadhi irukkum… ezhai veetil nimmadhi irukkum…” nice lyrics.

On an average, it’s a very average album. The great disappointment is SPB has not sung any song, whom Rajni considers as his Lucky Mascot and sings for all intro songs for him, except Baba which was a super duper flop.

Let’s keep the fingers crossed for the success of the movie. But songs are not upto the mark.
