Here's another review: From Indian Music - An Auditory Excursion Discussions
Posted by Carla
(*) EDITED TO ADD: I mistakenly stated that *Cheeni kum* was Ilaiyaraja's first Hindi film soundtrack. I got my information from the film's official website - but after I was told that it was incorrect, I looked again, and what the website actually said was *Cheeni kum* was Ilaiyaraaja's "first major original Hindi" film soundtrack - whatever that means! He has composed for several Hindi films that were remakes of Tamil films, including *Hey Ram* and a few others.
Aakash previewed the upcoming *Cheeni kum* - a salty romance with Amitabh Bachchan and Tabu - here: http://www.jaman.com/a/group/052qzAm.../0Ie6fuScNL1k/
I have listened to the soundtrack which was released a couple of days ago. This soundtrack is the first for a Hindi film by South Indian composer Ilaiyaraja. I am sadly completely ignorant of South Indian cinema but I understand that Ilaiyaraja has composed the music for more than 850 films, and is widely revered as one of India's greatest film composers. Listening to *Cheeni kum*'s soundtrack, I can see why - and I hope that Ilaiyaraja's first Hindi film is not his last. The songs are fresh and playful, melodic and cohesive, with a sound that is both cinematic and intimate. An excellent soundtrack! I just love it - it's mellow, haunting, and lovely.
The title song is completely infectious; Shreya Ghoshal's vocals are as smooth as silk and blend smoothly into a synthesizer line that is sneaky and slightly sinister. The instrumental breaks are part jazz-pop fusion, part cinematic bombast. It's just perfect. It's hard to listen to the rest of the soundtrack because I want to back up this track and listen to it over and over again. "Sooni sooni" is a less manic take on the title song's melody, with male vocals this time by Vijay Prakash.
"Baatein hawa" has a whole lot going on besides Shreya Ghoshal's mellow vocals - a most eclectic instrumentation ranging from piano and synthesizer to saxophones and strings, and even power-chord crunching electric guitars weave in and out over a bouncing bassline that keeps the composition moving forward despite the rapid jump-shifts in rhythm and instrument. It's delightful and fun.
"Jaane do na" continues the seemingly effortless blend of cinematic themes and instrumentation with gently funky rhythms, again seasoned by Shreya Ghoshal's smooth, melodic vocals. It is evocative of the title song with its shifting tonalities - the song is for the most part upbeat and cheerful, but a carefully placed minor interval here and there gives the song the same anticipatory, sinister feel of the brilliant title track.
Finally, the instrumental theme pulls the whole soundtrack together with variations on the other melodies echoed in slow motion piano lines and crisper, percussive synthesizer sequences.

Meet the 'Meow'sic Lovers...

Did any body get the CD of Cheeni Kum ?
I could not find in Bangalore. All latest hindi albums except this are there..
Pathetic marketing :(

"...Unlike "Nishabd", the film appears fresh and interesting and the lead pair strike the right kind of chemistry."
Cheeni Kum --- SPB's hits (Vizhiyile, manram vantha) have been reproduced here - Isiliye, SPB's voice hee yahaan kam hai !
But, SG's voice is very sweet ! and the album just reminds the melody of IR's vintage songs.
I wish many more Hindi and Tamil MDs roped IR for their big budget movies !
The only disappoint here is that Balki has used only 3 of IR's tunes..... I wish he had used more :)
Did anybody see, yesterday Jeya TV's "Violence and Modern Violence" programme against MK and his successors
"......thamizhagamae rasithu partha Isaignaniyin Anrum Inrum Enrum isai nigazhichiyai niraiya per parka villai enrum......"
against TRP ratings illegally controlled by SUN TV
Saw VIJYA TV's Kofee with Anu
Wov what a wonderful show, they will continue on next saturday too (first time in KWA's history).
Full of fun made by SPB, Gangai Amaran and their sons SPB Charan, Venkat Prabhu and sweet memories with Ilaiayaraja's younger days.
Many informations were new to me.
Before IR introduction as MD in TFM 8 persons including IR, SPB, GA met with an accident while they were driving a Car. Car did some dives and fell in a stream. Luckily they did not meet with heavy injuries. IR said "naam varunkaalathula etho sathikamnu irukuda athanalathan pizhaichurukkom". As IR said, all the 8 persons, achieved a lot in their departments
GA composed for 165 films :shock:
these guys are hopeless - read on:

sample this:
"CHEENI KUM : Illaiyaraja's musical presentation has largely been influenced by South Indian style of music but in "Cheeni Kum", he maintains the conventional harmonic textures of Bollywood music."
HARMONIC TEXTURES OF BOLLYWOOD MUSIC ???!!! harmony and Bollywood ?? - give us a frig*ing break
"there's nothing extraordinary or chartbusting about this track"
""Cheeni Kum" comes as modest and simple musical offering from South Indian music maestro Illaiyaraja after his forgetful musical presentation in RGV's 'Shiva'."
"and it will be too much to expect anything spectacular from this sweet "n" tender album."
The latest Vikatan has an interview with PC Sreeram (Cheeni Kum's cinematographer) and he says the BGM in the film is mind blowing with very rich symphony style and worth releasing as a soundtrack separately!
