To think of it, I think this film could be just like Pithamagan, but in a different dimension though. the resemblances are interesting. The Lord Shiva link (Pithamagan had link to Lord Shiva.... the burialground link). The rustic, uncouth type of character seems to be common in both films, although in this film it might take a diferent dimension.
ofcourse story will be totally different..but looks like the director took off in an alternate plane, while concieving this film.
NK is a great album, but I would still rate "ilangaathu veesudhe" above all the NK songs. I was also expecting more chorus and vocal harmony for this kind of a movie. It gives a great feel in "om sivaom" though its just chanting - maybe more arrangements could have enhanced it further.
Ananth,
I guess everyone has different requirements from Raja and he probably gave what Bala required :) While 'Illankatru' is no doubt an excellent song, I am charmed by 'Kannil Paarvai'. What an haunting composition. It has been quite sometime since we have got such a superb female solo. This song is something else. I can't stop listening to it.
The orchestration is subdued in the songs. It may be a different thing altogether in the BGM. As of now, listen to 'Kannil Parvai' and say 'Om Sivoham' :)

There seems to be a gender divide here. Among friends and family, the male junta have not stopped talking about the songs. The lades, however, have shown very little interest. Something to do with the story base (or what we know of it). The behindwoods reviewer can be under the same influence. Just speculating...Quote:

The new song penned and sung by the maestro himself, will be featured in the film's title track.
Most of the other songs, written by Vaali, have already won wide acclaim from the music critics and lovers alike. Especially the goose-bump inducing Sanskrit number seems to be on its way topping the charts, aver music buffs. Naan Kadavul is slated for a Pongal release."

oh boy, the use of cellos in the interludes is mind-blowing!
cant wait for the movie and the BGM
