Now that they have seen how its done, they can do it for sure, no doubt. Isnt that what they specialize at? Y

you can go to itwofs and check out how many songs YSR copied (the actual tunes) and harris jeyaaj's anniyan theme music is a direct lift from ressurection theme for a jesus movie.

No one can come close to any of the compositions in this album. What are you saying?

Hey Rahman fans and other fair ppl, I am Thineshan. This is my first post I ve been observing u guys for a while and after I heard that SOK is not that great -_-, I had to post.

lemme clear some stuffs for u guys!!!

1.Minnale album was an instant hit when it hit the stores [audio],even b4 anyone know about the movie....

2.Kaake Kaake on the other hand,it was hyped but it wasnt a HIT..untill the movie was a super hit....Uyirin Uyirea wasnt an instant hit like Vaseegara,infact Kaake2 album was called FLOP b4 the movie released...it was mentioned by some actor,if im not mistaken by Surya...he even said the same thing for Ghajini & Aaru.....

3.Raja,even 1st i felt the chorus part was funny & weird...i was wondering y ARR added that..... but after 4th listenin,now i know y he actually did it....its special,something very special....it touches my heart everytime i listen to that bit....

To say it is Mindless chorus is a bit harsh but it certainly sounds out of place and much inferior to Shreya's divine voice. If he had used Madhusri it wouldn't have been so stark.

Hola folks... after months of hibernation in the columbian oil fields.. I am back to civilisation...looks like i have missed a lot of things.....arguements...and FACTS (??) ...
pleasant suprise SOK is relaeased just when I am back.....

First look at this one .....

New york Nagaram ... will the song of this year..... cant seem to get over it.... ARR is furst class..... gave me a hangover of someother number.. but its ARR singing .. so it has to be magic.... and yes it is a magical number..... top class stuff....

Munbe Vaa .... the much hyped number .. (by ARR!! suprisingly) is beautiful... but maybe the hype around the number was too much .. that it cant be called amazing. I personally feel that Shreya killed the song with her tamil killing..... good .. but could have been better with another singer... melodius tune...nevertherless...
Anthem for the Youth ???? - wonder who coined this phrase ....

SOK -- nuthing much to rave about except for the Jazzy feel.....


As for the rest of the songs... allow me to use the term Maddy had used for the rest of the songs of Ghajni ...(like Rangola,x-machi, rahatulla ) ... pathetic.......!!!

Just doesnt appeal on a few hearings.. maybe if hammered day in and day out on loops maybe it will.... Mundane numbers... hangover from Ah Ah/godfather I believe... though the sound engineering/orchestration is terrific in these songs.. there is jus no appeal .. esp one song is totally like the thaluvuthu song from Ah ah ....

I was told right from the inception that this movie has melodius numbers... other then New york and Munbe Vaa .. i cant find any...
As for as the movie success.. the promo looks good.. but othe than Vadivel... there is nuthing for the B & C centres... music will be totally alien to them ...


my two cents....

Any guesses about the gender for each of these descriptions...note the use of 'vandhaa' in the first and 'vandhaan' in the 2nd!!

second line is
avarukkenna aalwarkurichi .... thevaru aruva maathiri burma thekkenna pala pala palavena vanthaan paaru

its thevaru not thevadhai..

Except for Machakkaari and Maaricham I listened to all other songs atleast thrice. New York Nagaram is my pick and is a definite standout. I read somewhere that its being picturized in swiss alps(?!!) and not in Newyork nagaram. Hope the news is wrong. The song evokes instant visual imagery and I imagined Surya sitting in a room on one of the top floors of a New york skyscraper all by himself with candles around, while the camera hovers around him in circles slowly zooming out as it captures his loneliness. Thats just my imagination. It would be great for this song.
But I am pretty sure the picturization is bound to be a slight letdown.
(The trailer wasnt all that exciting)
They should outsource songs like these to Manirathnam, he could be a guest director for just songs like these. Rahman has maintained a trance-like feel throughout the song, combining with 80s synth pop sounds in the interludes. Someone here mentioned Police/Sting - which could be partially true. I loved the guitar chords accompanying Rahman's voice in the pallavi -simple yet effective

Munbe vaa- opening notes resemble "kaadhal kasakkudhaiyya"(IR's aaN paavam) but this one is entirely different. I have mixed feelings about the chorus, need a few listenings to see if makes sense. Shreya ghosal is a welcome choice once again. I thought the song loses a little bit of steam in the charanams but still better than some of Rahman's recent melodies.

As for other song, Jillendru oru kaadhal is good, though perhaps not completely innovative as we have heard Jazz from Rahman before. But a refreshing choice for a title song. Gummi adi is fairly catchy but once again the malluish flavor and rhythm/sandams in that song reminds me of past ARR songs which have such features.

Overall, definitely better than Godfather or Aah Aaaah, but doesnt quite belong in the same shelf as say Kandukonden Kandukonden or RDB, of course IMO.
Hope Rahman continues to get films in Tamil that inspire him as much as his HFM projects. Let him stay away from douche bags like KSR/SJS

PS: The comparisons to Vettaiyaadu ViLayaadu(which was a bunch of nursery rhymes put together in the name of melody) or Ghajni are laughable at best. Innovation and Harris Jayaraj seldom belong in the same line
