3. The movie was released during Deepavali 2000.

4. The movie had 6 tracks and the lyrics were written by 6 people for each track.

5. Vairamuthu did not contribute any lyrics and neither did Vaali. This was after the "break-up" between Vairamuthu and ARR after the KK audio release function. For me, the combo between them was never the same after this incident.

explain?? i am still ignorant of this break up, i heard rumors, not sure exactly what happened.

In Kandukondean audio release function, Vairamathu requested Rahman to tone down the background score and highlight the voice portions so that the words in the songs are heard better as there are lot of people who likes the songs for his lyrics.

It is said that ARR didn't like this and wanted to work with new faces from thereafter instead of VM.

but if u guys noticed, ARR did satisfy VM in KM with vellai pookal, oru deivam etc, afterall he got the national award for lyrics. and even in vaaji vaaji, he made sure the lyrics r heard better.

“Tresses don’t make a Rahman”
By Behindwoods News Bureau.
December 24, 2007
Isai Kaatru was the name of the album composed by Mohammed Rizwan and produced by Amish Kumar. The music album has lyrics by Vairamuthu and Pon.Murugesan who released the album with much fanfare at a gala event yesterday. While addressing the gathering at the function Vairamuthu was all praise for the composer for coming up with
Isai Kaatru
some melodious numbers that have maintained the purity of the lyrics.

He later made a request to filmmakers, which he corrected with a note of caution that music launches should hitherto be called Songs launch which alone would be appropriate as it is only songs that are being launched at audio release functions and the lyricists would only then feel duly honored alongside the composers. He even had a word of advice for upcoming music composers who sport long tresses that it is not tresses that make a person a great composer like Rahman but one’s compositions. He was all praise for the lyrics of Pon.Murugesan who had penned the other songs in the album and said that such music albums are going to be the future of Tamil music as they tend to retain the quality of the lyrics and they do not have to bank on visuals, as in he case of movies, to give it the necessary appeal.

My preferences in the order
1.Porkaley - One of my all time favourites
2.Title song - Rocking song alongwith the video
3.Athini - Hated this song initially but later started liking it.
4.Aalangkatti - Liked it very much initially
5.Injiringo - Not a favourite of mine but it was a huge hit then
6.Swaasame - just an OK number for me

My fave song from this album is defo Aalangati Malai. A bit cheesy, but i still love it! It always makes me feel happy whenever I hear it! :D

Aaaah Sujatha's voice.......beauteeeeeful! :notworthy: KHs voice also gives this song a lot of character. The percussion used in this song is also really effective.

:roll:
