Starring: Mu.Kalanjiam, Anjali
Movie Director: Mu.Kalanjiam
Music Director: Srikanth Deva

Anjali who made a modest entry with the critically acclaimed film 'Kattrathu Thamizh' opposite Jeeva became a star after 'Angadi Theru'. But in the very beginning it was Mu. Kalanjiam who spotted Anjali even before ‘Kattrathu Thamizh’ and all set to launch the terrific actress with a film titled 'Sathamintri Muthamidu'. Kalanjiam had also given a new name Sundari.

But later ‘Sathamintri Muthamidu’ was shelved and with a new name Anjali moved on to do ‘Kattrathu Thamizh’ and the rest is history. But Kalanjiam had signed Anjali for four films before the turn of fortunes happened with ‘Angadi Theru’. Now with Anjali’s star value on the rise, Kalanjiam has decided to revive his projects. At first he will launch ‘Karungali. In which he is also launching himself as the hero.

Music Director: Yuvan Shankar Raja
TamilBeat's Rating:

Following the release of his film Aasal in February 2010, Ajith Kumar was signed by Dhayanidhi Alagiri's Cloud Nine Movies for a project touted to be directed by Gautham Menon. However, as Ajith Kumar participated in the 2010 season of the FIA Formula Two Championship, Gautham Menon, unwilling to wait, decided to shelve the film and opted to focus on another project, which prompted Venkat Prabhu, who was keen on making a multi-starrer film featuring top stars, to sign the actor in his next film, after the director saw moderate success with his previous film, Goa.

Prabhu had written three scripts for Ajith, out of which the actor chose Mankatha, in which he would portray a character "with grey shades". The film officially commenced on 2 August 2010 with the formal launch and a simple... [ More ]

National award winning director Bala announced his first full-fledged comedy entertainer Avan Ivan. This is the first time director Bala, who is famous for his serious and dark subjects, is trying his hand at comedy. The film narrates the story of two siblings; earlier, real life brothers Suriya-Karthi and Jiiva-Ramesh were considered for the two main leads. But finally Arya and Vishal were chosen!

Both Arya and Vishal have tonsured their heads for this film. The actors also avoided public appearance to keep their looks secret. Reportedly Vishal plays the role of a transgender in the film, which is expected to elevate him to the next level in acting.

Vishal recently spoke about the reason behind introducing him as a squint-eyed character in the movie. After observing Vishal's initial acting, director Bala complained about his urban mannerisms and body language, which were unsuitable for the character.

Bala also wanted Vishal's character to appear unattractive and planned to introduce a squint eye. Vishal added that the role became very popular after the promotional materials of the movie were released. Though Vishal takes pride in his role, he said that he had undergone great pains to imitate a squint eye, which left him with intense eye pain and headaches after the filming. The film is expected to grace theatres on May 20, 2011.

MAYANGINEN THAYANGINEN MUSIC REVIEW
Review by : Kaushik L.M

Starring: Nitin Sathya, Disha Pandey, Ganja Karuppu
Direction: S.T. Vendhan
Music: Kannan
Production: T Rajeshwari
Vocals: Thilaka, Sathya Prakash, Mukesh, Chinnaponnu, Swetha, Vijay Prakash, Haricharan
Lyrics: Yugabharathi, Viveka, Ilaya Kamban

Directed by newcomer Vendhan and starring Nitin Sathya and Disha Pandey, this movie highlights the issue of sexual abuse reported from some mental asylums in Tamil Nadu. Nitin plays a call-taxi driver who falls in love with a call center girl whom he has not met. The music has been provided by Kannan who is looking for a solid hit to establish his credentials in the industry. Now, onto the music review.

Mayanginen Thayanginen...
Thilaka (female version) / Sathya Prakash (male version)
Lyrics: Viveka

A song that has very mild instrumentals and lets the lead singer go through her routine in a very melodious manner. There is a male version of the same song as well, which follows pretty much the same pattern. Two short and sweet songs more like lullabies.

Aadi Varum Thera Adungada…
Mukesh, Chinnaponnu
Lyrics: Yugabharathi

There are numerous such songs before this but the genre of this song is such that it is likeable instantly. Addictive beats and energetic singing make this a harmless experience. Can expect some fast dance moves and happy moments on screen. A trademark ‘thiruvizha’ song.

Kaduvulin Koil…
Swetha
Lyrics: Ilaya Kamban

A mellow song with a slow tempo and poignant lyrics. The violin instrumentals go with the mood of the song. Swetha’s voice is silky as always and the chorus by the children adds to the touching quality of the song. There is an unmistakable Ilayaraja touch in this song,

Kanavinil Neeyum…
Vijay Prakash
Lyrics: Yugabharathi

This song has light shades of ‘Nenjil Nenjil’ from ‘Engeyum Kadhal’. There are some flowing violin instrumental interludes in this one with Vijay Prakash bringing in the required amount of expression and feeling to the song. The female lead adds more value to this lilting melody towards the end.

Unnai Vittu Ponaal…
Haricharan
Lyrics: Viveka

A love-failure song which is dramatic and Haricharan is the right singer to deliver the goods for this song. The violin has been used well in this song as well, reminiscent of Raja.

Verdict: On the whole, an album with the focus clearly on melody. Kannan has brought out a decent album which is worth a shot.

KALAKALAPPU MUSIC REVIEW
Review by : Kaushik L.M

Starring: Vimal, Anjali, Shiva, Oviya, Santhanam
Direction: Sundar C
Music: Vijay Ebenezer
Production: Kushboo
Vocals: Krish, Dr. Burn, Mili Nair, Amitabh Narayan, Rahul Nambiar, Sheeba Truman, Steevevatz, Suchithra Karthik, Devan, Prashanthini, Karthik, Anitha
Lyrics: Pa.Vijay

Earlier titled Masala Café, Kalakalappu happens to be Sundar.C’s return to his primary profession – direction. It also happens to be his 25th film. There is an ensemble cast featuring young, upcoming stars. The glamorous avatar of hitherto homely belles, Anjali and Oviya, has ensured that this movie has got enough and more eyeballs. Of course, Santhanam is there. Vijay Ebenezer of ‘Kanden’ fame provides the music. Let’s see if his debut was just a flash in the pan or whether he is here to stay with Masala Cafe.

Angelina…
Krish, Dr. Burn &Mili Nair

There is a very similar song in ‘Kanden’ (UnnaiKandene). Still, the peppy, energetic rap of Dr. Burn (reminiscent of Akon) makes this song a winner. Krish sounds very similar to the aforementioned song.

Ivalunga Imsai Thaanga Mudiyala…
Amitabh Narayan

The lead singer’s pronunciation is bad to say the least. Nevertheless, a song that talks about the unsolvable riddle that women are. A nice slow paced ‘gaana’ number. The references to Kannadasan and Kamal Haasan are striking. Might visit the charts for the naughty and light hearted quality that the song has.

Masala Café…
Rahul Nambiar, Sheeba Truman & Steevevatz

This song is another joy ride. The song gives you a happy and cheerful mood. Might probably be the intro song featuring the two heroes. A festive atmosphere can be expected in the theaters when this song plays out. The lyrics harp on the joy aspect while also being inspirational.

Mokkamanusha…
Steevevatz & Suchithra Karthik

The joy aspect continues into this song as well. This is a masala soaked duet literally and one can expect some glamour on screen.

The male lead has shades of Srikanth Deva’s voice. The entire song sounds like one of Yuvan and Simbu’s collaborations. The ‘life e masala’ refrain makes the song endearing.

Unnaipattri Unnidame…
Devan & Prashanthini

A romantic song with a tune that has been heard innumerable times before, but, sounds good. The ‘nadaswaram’ notes are a surprise addition to the song and the flute instrumental interlude accompanied by the female humming before the second stanza is top notch.

Ava Thirumbipaarthu…
Karthik & Anitha

This is a solo from Karthik. Sounds pleasant but the tune is notoriously familiar to many hit songs of the recent past. Remember ‘Kalangathaala’ from ‘Venghai’? This song gives a soft finish to the album to make it six songs in all, for the listener. Wonder which of the two pairs will be featured in this song or will it be both?

Verdict: A nice collection of numbers. The focus is equally on masala and melody songs as well. The songs of Sundar’s 25th venture sound good for sure.

MANAM KOTHI PARAVAI MUSIC REVIEW
Review by : Kaushik L.M

Starring: Siva Karthikeyan, Athmeeya, Soori, Singampuli
Direction: S.Ezhil
Music: D. Imman
Production: S.Ezhil, Ambethkumar, Ranjeev Menon
Vocals: Saisharan, S.Malavika, Aalaap Raju, Surmukhi, Santhosh Hariharan, Javed Ali, Vijay Prakash, Chinmayi Sripada
Lyrics: Yugabharathi

One time hotshot director S. Ezhil is making a comeback with current crowd favorite Siva Karthikeyan in the lead. Ezhil has a reputation for making clean family entertainers. Imman has been entrusted with the music and Imman has a pretty decent track record in the industry. Is he in good form? Let’s find out.

Dang Dang…
Saisharan and S.Malavika

After the super success of the ‘Jingu Chikka’ song in ‘Mynaa’, Imaan traverses on a very similar path with this song. It is foot tapping but the sheer magic created by the earlier song is hard to live up to. The singers have the required fizz to make the song enjoyable, nevertheless. Can visit the charts for sure but real popularity can be expected only when the film hits the screens.

Jal Jal Jal Oosai…
Aalaap Raju and Surmukhi

Aalaap Raju seems to have enjoyed himself singing this romantic number. The beats are likable while the tabla percussions and the instrumentals comprising flute and Spanish guitar make sure the song retains the charm right through.

Oorana Oorukkulla…
Santhosh Hariharan

This is a folksy number ridden with a bit of pathos in the lyrics. The violin adds to the mellow mood of the song. The beats are energetic and make sure the song is entertaining. The lead singer is expressive. As the hero sings about his skewed love life, we can expect the scene to be of the hero along with a group of his friends.

Po Po Po…
Javed Ali

The name of the song gives an idea about the genre of the song straightaway, a love failure song again. Javed Ali is back after a small hiatus and his pronunciation is much polished compared to some of his previous efforts in Tamil. The instrumentals before both the stanzas are dramatic and have elaborate arrangements. The end violin instrumentals make the song even more passionate. This song might find many takers in the male crowd.

Yenna Solla…
Vijay Prakash, Chinmayi Sripada

The song begins on a classy note with strings and what follows is a likable duet which has tasteful instrumentals with a lot of variety. The guitar usage in particular and the female chorus endear the song even more. The song moves at a steady pace with pretty heavy percussive usage.

Verdict: Imman has a winner with this Ezhil movie. After ‘Mynaa’ the expectations from him are high and this album has done no harm to his status as a composer of note.

NAAN EE MUSIC REVIEW
Review by : Kaushik L.M

Starring: Nani, Samantha, Sudeep
Direction: S S Rajamouli
Music: Maragatha Mani
Production: PVP Cinemas
Vocals: Ranjith, Deepu, Rahul Sipligunj, Sravana Bhargavi, Chaitra, Vijay Prakash
Lyrics: Karky

Blockbuster hit maker S.S. Rajamouli is getting into Tamil cinema with this bilingual featuring upcoming stars Samantha and Nani. Both of them are taking their baby steps in Tamil cinema while Kannada superstar Sudeep will be making his first Tamil appearance. The audio was released recently. Star Telugu composer Keeravani aka Maragathamani is making a comeback to Tamil cinema through this. Let’s see if he has lived up to his standards.

Eedaa Eedaa...
Ranjith

Starts off with Hindi lyrics as is expected from most of the actual Telugu songs. The theme of the movie (a housefly (ee) taking revenge on the villain) has been translated into this song. The song is fast paced and can be expected to be accompanied by some graphically enhanced visuals of the ‘ee’ going about its business. The treatment of the song is pretty vociferous given the passionate lyrics about revenge, the ‘kollanum’ segment in particular. It really picks up steam with the ‘Eedaa Eedaa’ refrain. Might visit the charts.

Eedaa Eedaa (Remix)...
Ranjith, Deepu, Rahul Sipligunj, Sravana Bhargavi, Chaitra

There is a remix version of the same song which is pretty chaotic and follows the general remix pattern. A shrill synthesized voice has been overused in this remix. On the whole, the remix is nowhere near the original.

Konjam Konjam...
Vijay Prakash

The guitar instrumentals are the standout aspect of this romantic song. Vijay Prakash in low pitched mode sounds cheerful nevertheless. The uncanny resemblance to composer Bharadwaj’s voice is unmistakable. It is a different experience on the whole, given the unhurried pace and the tasteful instrumental arrangements.

Lava Lava...
Achu, Shivani

Starts off in low pitched mode with base instrumentals before moving into a very spirited ‘Lava Lava’ refrain with rock guitar accompaniments.It’s admirable that veteran composer Maragathamani aka Keeravani is so trendy. An entertaining offbeat number that could find many takers.

Veesum Velichathile...
Karthik, Sahithi

This song is a nice pleasant melody with minimum fuss. Karthik brings his trademark charm to this song which sounds like a lullaby. The mouth organ instrumentals add a nice finishing touch to this sure-shot melody. Though the heard before feel dominates, the song sounds good.

Verdict: A nice compilation of numbers by Maragathamani, as he makes a comeback to Tamil cinema through this bilingual. If the film delivers what is expected, then some of the songs will catch on in a big way, particularly the title song.

ANIL MUSIC REVIEW
Review by : Kaushik L.M

Starring: Anil Bharath, Ashrith Bhanu, Vineeth Shankar, Dibesh Dikkubai Vijay, Pradeepa, Dhanalakshmi
Direction: ARS
Music: S R Shankar
Production: A Sreenivasan

Looks like the movie ‘Anil’ is about school life and a realistic one at that, looking at the poster and the tag line. The screenplay, dialogues and direction for 'Anil' is by ARS who is debuting in Tamil cinema through this film. The music has been provided by S.R.Shankar who is another first-timer. An analysis of his work follows.

Anilu Anilu
ARS, Vineeth Shankar

This song introduces us to the movie’s title in no uncertain terms. The word ‘Anilu’ is repeated countless times and at varied paces. A cheeky and likeable number. A short interesting effort to kick-off the album. Can’t make much sense from the lyrics apart from the fact that a lot of women are referred to.

Ada Aadipadungada
Mukesh and chorus

The song starts off by calling out a lot of different men and of course the word ‘Anilu’ is a major part of the build up to the song. A cheerful, feel-good fast number that talks about living life happily as the name of the song indicates. There are some typical kuthu elements like heavy percussions.

Manasukkul Oru
NK Priyanka

A sweet romantic melody with the pretty naïve and raw voice of NK Priyanka, the lead singer. It moves along at a gentle pace without any ups or downs. The saxophone and violin instrumental interludes add some more charm to the song. The violin instrumentals prove the composer’s adeptness at classical music.

Dinam Dinam Unnai
Swetha Menon, Haricharan

Starts off in ‘Hindustani’ mode with the male singer singing ‘swaras’ in high pitch, accompanied by tabla. Then it becomes a typical romantic duet. Nothing special but, the song doesn’t hurt the eardrums as well. Has some decent singing from the mellifluous Swetha Menon. The small Hindustani touches are the highlight of the song.

Vanthavanum Sari Illai …
Pazhaniammal

A folksy number to end the album. This one will surely strike the right chord with the masses with its earthy flavor. The voice of the female lead singer gives the necessary spunk to this song.

A female rants about her ill-luck with the men in her life. There is also a message for the men, about the bad effects of drinking alcohol. The ‘nadaswaram’ interludes go with the mood of the song.

Verdict: A nice effort with good variety. There are a couple of melodies, a nice folk number and an offbeat number thrown in the mix. This composer will be noted with interest in the coming days. Hope he gets good projects in future...

CHAPLIN SAAMANTHI MUSIC REVIEW
Review by : Kaushik L.M

Starring: Ilaiya, Dhiyana, Baby Kruthika
Direction: R Prakash
Music: Kannan
Production: R Manikandan
Vocals: Karthik, Thilaga, Selvam, Jipsy Rajkumar, Baby Harini, Mukesh
Lyrics: Viveka, R.Prakash, Kannan, Jipsy Rajkumar

The friendship that a small village girl shares with Charlie Chaplin seems to be the basic premise of Chaplin Saamanthi. This film stars newcomers and has been shot in and around Trichy. Director R.Prakash has been an assistant to director Balasekaran before. Baby Kruthika plays the role of Samanthi. Kannan of ‘Thamizh Padam’ fame has composed the music. Is it on the mark?

Nee Vanthu Pona…
Karthik, Thilaga
Lyrics: Viveka

The song soars straightaway. A nice melody with sweet vocals. Karthik sounds very different in this song. Or is it not the Karthik that everyone knows? The instrumentals are endearing. ‘Myna Myna’ shades are there particularly in the bass effect. A simple melody that strikes the right chord, nevertheless

Vellaiyilum Vellaiyaga…
Selvam, Jipsy Rajkumar
Lyrics: Jipsy Rajkumar

A street-play song on the lines of the famous Anbe Sivam song. A tribute to Sir Charles Spencer Chaplin, definitely a novel attempt for a Tamil song. A great experimental attempt but, not sure if it is exactly a repeat song on the everyday playlists. Thumbs up for the intentions and the novel idea behind the song.

Naan Charlie Chaplin Ponnu…
Baby Harini
Lyrics: Kannan, R.Prakash

A song for the kids by a kid. What’s expected is a cute song with light hearted instrumentals. This is exactly what this is. A nice one. Again a dedication to the comedy king through the eyes of a small girl.

Kavala Oor Kavala…
Mukesh
Lyrics: R.Prakash

Fast paced with very energetic vocals by Mukesh. ‘Puli Urumudhu’ revisited in no small measure. The lyrics reek of admiration and heroism. Mukesh’s flexibility and ease at pronouncing potential tongue twisters is admirable though.

Nee Vanthu Pona…
Thilaga
Lyrics: Viveka

The shorter version of the first duet. The female vocals were the highlight in that duet and those very same vocals have been used in a separate song as well. Thilaga is a talent to watch out for.

Verdict: An interesting effort from ‘Thamizh Padam’ fame Kannan. The tunes at places sound straight out of some old songs but, the theme of the film has been translated into few of the songs very well. A nice melody is thrown into the mix as well.

VINMEENGAL MUSIC REVIEW
Review by : Kaushik L.M

Starring: Rahul Ravindran, Vishwa, Shikha, Anuja Iyer
Direction: Vignesh Menon
Music: Jubin
Production: Maanas Film Corporation

Debutant director, Vignesh Menon, happens to be the grandson of late director K Shankar .His film is a family drama about everyday heroes. It has been extensively shot in Chennai and Ooty. Anuja Iyer is back on screen after a hiatus and Pandiarajan has an offbeat role in the film. Newcomer Jubin takes care of the music and let’s analyze his score …

Un Paarvai
Hariharan, Harini

A 6 mins song after quite a while. A neat melody without any gimmicks. Neat, uncluttered and simple. The pair that gave us some great melodies in the past is back – Harini and Hariharan. They sound delightful as ever. The song has some tastefully done instrumentals as well. The veena and flute soar. Good start to the album though it is a bit old fashioned for the FB crowd.

Vazhi Maari
Ajeesh

A short number with minimal instrumentals that talks about the magic of falling in love. Ajeesh sounds pleasant. Will depend on the visuals for better impact.

Nee Kattil
Shankar Mahadevan

Shankar Mahadevan is passionate and vociferous in this inspirational number. But, it is definitely not among his better efforts. The musical arrangement and the chorus are old fashioned. The instrumentals remind us of those patriotic numbers that Vidyasagar used to give with unfailing regularity.

Bhoomi Engum
Belly Raj

Elegant guitar start that is straight out of ‘Nirvana’. Such a low key and low pitched rendering by Belly Raj. Another song that might be a montage in the movie.

Ariya Paruvathil
Bombay Jayashree, Rahul Nambiar

Jayashree’s trademark strong and low pitched vocals are on show here. We have gotten used to her style. She sounds too dramatic in this number. The violin and string instrumentals stand out. Rahul makes an entry in the second stanza and it must be admitted that he is better suited for peppy foot tapping numbers and not melodies like this.

Kadhalum
Ajeesh, Karthika

Another situational slow number with no percussive accompaniments. Ajeesh sounds shaky. The intense violin bits sound really pathos ridden. The number has a Christmas choir effect.

Verdict: Another newcomer makes his debut and this maiden offering is average at best. All the songs have melody as the prime focus and Jubin has the potential to improve.
