Thalaivar has shown that his BGM reflects on the theme of the movie rather than just coming across as wonderful orchestral pieces...the instruments and style of BGM is really worth a album on its on :clap:
I forgot to mention that there is a beautfil bit song vaishnava janato that comes when paresh rawal ignores all the food from his loved ones...nice arrangements :D

Also, I was able to catch the NDTV movie review of CK and if I remember it right, the reviewer said that music is a delight.

IndiaGlitz review. Says "From both music and editing perspective, there is a clear distinction between
the first and the second half. While music is extremely likeable as the songs play in the background
throughout the first half of the narrative, in the second half it is hardly effective."

Saw the movie.Overall, movie is a good one to watch.
The first half is well paced while the second half is not so.
Music throughout the movie is good and there are quite a few notable instances where raja stamps his authority.
There is a score with "vaishnava jana" song in the seconf half which is quite good.
But, there was not even a single complete song played in the movie (at PVR).Thats' a major disappointment for me.But, all the songs(though played in bits) fits to the movie perfectly.
This movie should do well in a centers and i think this would get a pass mark in BO :)
Read reviews for shootout and cheenikum in bangalore vijay times today.CK gets three stars while shootout gets 1 star.
If shootout falls out,Ck would do even better :)
Thoroughly disappointing...!
There are hardly any songs in the movie. No wonder... no one is talking about music in their reviews.
Cheeni Kum - first 30 seconds of this song is played 3-4 times. Forget charanam, you won't even get to hear the anupallavi. What a pity!
Baatein hawa - again only the pallavi is played, that too with major distractions.
Jaane do - lasted more than 30 seconds, but most of the song is chopped off, yet again.
It's hard to notice any sort of music in this film...
I just hope IR doesn't waste his time with Balki again.
Sad to see IR's hard work going down the drain.
unbelievable. worst news i have heard in recent times. Just too shocking.
Teja i think you forgot how the movie was conceived..it is made in hollywood style making the songs as BGM to induce effectiveness of the scenes...i enjoyed the way the music integrated with the film..its not necessary that raja is only upheld if his songs come in every scene...in fact if they featured full length the movement of the story and the relativity of the previous scenes would be lost...i would say as a director he has balanced the technical and main aspects of the movie :D
