Hulkster don't get emotion :). Here, it is getting more postive reviews than UO when compare the initial day response.
Somebody compared this songs with Agni natchathram songs and somebody answered he can't give such songs now. I say he can (atleast 70% stuff) if you give 2008 Manirathnam (Shankar?) and Prabhu, Karthik of 2008 (Vikram & Surya?).
Intha padam oru varamavathu odumanu theriyala and nobody is expecting the film. Intha padathukku intha padalgal migavum athigam.
As the person who did both of the above, I appeal to Hulkster to cool down :)Quote:
To just write off an IR album by listening to tunes and saying they are rehashes of other tunes after repeated listening are laughable....
i should not have even raised the decibel for this album after some people looked at the trailer and said it reeks of ordinary numbers. :angry:
I have not written off the album. But if you expect every one to be excited to the same level like you, I am sorry, I can't !
And even now, the trailer does not give me any confidence that this movie will win at the box office !
Just because IR has agreed to work for it does not make it a glorious script..people know this by experience.
If any one says that "Unakkulle" does not sound like "Kajuraho" it is very difficult to believe !
For me, "Kajuraho", "Dheemi dheemi", "Sihigali" and even "Kuyilaalo" from Anumaanaspadam all are variations of same pattern ! And I accept it happens with every MD, but IR has been doing this so frequently in recent times :(
Its not that..its just that people here decipher raja's songs like other MDs. The true fact till this day is that all his songs have been enriched by the feel of his orchestration and understanding of the situation. You cant expect a anandha raagam like tune or pothi vecha malligai tune for the situations in dhanam....they will look comical..people seem to forget this part. anyways im gonna enjoy listening regardless of what other reviews are going to come. :2thumbsup:
Its different...its just like vidyasagar's sudum nilavu sounding like azhagana ratchasiyey..same base raaga different tune. I have listened to Unakulley and besides the first two lines nothing else sounds like kajuraho especially the most catchiest part where he gives a minipause.
Sihigaali and dheemi dheemi sound the same due to their pause in between pattern and the same word being repeated..the tunes are different though...of course if you just use one similar stanza as i said everything will sound nostalgic. I can even say koothu onnu is a clever rehash of siva rathiri of michael madana kamarajan with the backgrounds enhanced and tempo upped. It is that easy.
IR has come out of his "chagu chagu chaa", "Thagu thagu thaa" kind of outdated "youthful" chorus.
This also makes the album a better one :)
At first hearing, i would say, the songs are a bit contemporary, only thing is, it lacks the melody content which we usually expect in an IR movie. And looking at all the singers, wow, they are all recent crop of guys. IR is changing i guess.
For me, "Sudum nilavu" leads some how to "Meetaadha oru veenayai" from Poonthottam by IR.Quote:

Carnatic music therindhavargal, pls tell me if they are of same raaga.
Enna seiyya...Niraiya paadalgal kettu kettu idhu enna mania-nu theriyalai...onnuthilarindhu manasu innonukku thaavudhu...paattai mattum thaan solren :)
Yup they are both reethigowlai. incidentally inetk's favourite raaga....i guess if kannanukku enna was tuned in reethigowlai inetk would be saying "its a absolute carnatic delight sprinkled with vintage raja touches" :lol2:
If anyone listens to dhanam dhanam closely the lyrics seem to be taking a dig at certain MDs adapting IR's koothu paathus. :lol2:
Yes, I got irritated too, but as there was no forward button, I had no choice but to love it :).Quote:
