Azhagiya Tamizh magan...!!

Wonder why people need to come up with such an impressive name for this guy's movies!!! I've been listening to this film's songs for the past couple of days...hmm....

First impression: Did ARR outsource this project to some DJ???All songs except the 'Maduraiku pogadhe', with a profound country side feel, give you a feel of having just jumped out of the dance floor!! That songs gives me a feel of the Raja Rajeswari title song on Sun TV...!!:(

Am not sure if ARR always wanted to speak out 'punch dialogues' on screen.. 'Ellapugazhum' has given him that opportunity...it cannot be classified as a song under any genre...that is prose read loudly with some BGM, if I am so generous enough..

'Nee Mariyln Monroe' impresses with some new age lyrics that has been taking over Tamizh filmdom recently..nothing much to be written about music though..

'Valayapatti' has more of a Harris Jayaraj feel ..reminds of Saiyo Saiyo from Arasatchi..pada pada pattamboochi from Majnu..

and to the much hyped 'ponmagal vanthal' remix..hmm..is this the same ARR who recreated the 'Thottal Poo malarum' magic?..none of that is to be expected here....sadly ARR has also gone a square back by adding the usual remix stuff...computer generated beats...some who-needs-to-understand english lyrics in between and letting the singers do the 'talking'....the only solace are the bits where TMS' voice have been left unchanged!!!

The pick of the lot: 'Kelamal kaiyile' sung by Sriram Parthasarathy and Saindhavi(!!) has both the male and female singers reaching high octaves consistently throughout the song and both are equally up to the task..
('kokilam' (Kudos Thamarai for all managing to dig up such words!!!Umathu Tamizh sevai thodarattum..) is one of such countless words (one of my faves..) in Tamizh that has an inherent melody about it and produces a visual effect with it..Saindhavi pronounces it to perfection...)..Saindhavi is a find...her voice in this song proves it..

Thennaga isai puyale..
Azhagiya Tamizh magan isayil Azhugiyathen???
