Karthik, Suchitra

A soft and melodious song,

somewhat in the lines of the recent Hindi hit song "Hello Hello" from

Rahman's "Jhoota Hi Sahi" (this one is more peppier than that song!). A

song thats based on a telephone conversation (the fe "Hello" sounds

are interspersed inbetween). A very beautiful song thats highly

situational in nature and one that could be heavily enhanced by the

visuals that accompany it. A vintage Vidyasagar melody song, this song

will be a good companion on a calm and/or rainy night. Karthik gets two

songs in this album, and he is incredibly superb in both songs. One of

the best singers of this generation, he lifts this song to great

heights. Suchitra comes for some humming parts, but apart from that,

its a complete Karthik song. This song has the potential to grow really

fast onto you and makes you hum to it very

easily.

Overall

Verdict: The songs are certainly not

the kind of instant chartbusters that Vijay's albums are known for. In

fact it cannot be classified as the regular Vijay album thats filled

with lot of kuthu/folk/fast beat songs. This album has a good share of

melodies and soft music that will please the average music listener

too. It has a peppy intro type song to please the fans, it has a very

peppy Western style dance floor song for the youth, and the melody for

the purists. Tough to see this album scorch the charts immediately. It

will grow on the listeners, and the best sales of this album might come

after the movie releases, so that the listeners will have the visuals

to combine along with these melodious tunes.
