Father Ajith and Villain Ajith and an upbeat Ravikumar

The moment you meet Director K S Ravikumar these days, you will find a 70mm smile breaking upon his face. The guy is upbeat for his Godfather, with Ajith in the lead has come up to his expectations. Slated to release this May after Tirupathi, the movie features Ajith in three lead roles—father, son and villain. “Ajith comes in three roles and four get-ups,” beams Ravikumar and continues, “It’s a thrilling story. When a village can split for the sake of a single hero, imagine what it can do for three strong characters. Ajith has given an excellent performance. Ajith as father has two sons; one is the hero and the other is the villain. Hero Ajith pairs with Asin and father Ajith pairs with Kaniha. It’s an action-cum-entertaining film.” K S Ravikumar need not have said that. Everyone in the industry knows that when Ravikumar makes a movie, it ought to be entertaining and hilarious.


Ajith who is now working in Tirupathi has one more song to complete for Godfather. But he can’t do it right now. He sports a moustache and beard for his role in Tirupathi and unless it completes he can’t shave off his beard. Tirupathi will be releasing this Tamil New Year’s Day, that is April 14th.
“Throughout the movie Father Ajith and Villain Ajith are at loggerheads,” says Ravikumar. Further he adds: “Hero Ajith’s Bharath Naatiyam dance is the highlight of the film. He is not a classical dancer but two days of training and wow, you must see him performing.” According to Ravikumar, the movie is going to be a turning point not only to Ajith but also to him.


Ravikumar confesses that he did face a lot of problems while making Godfather but that he has solved all of them. “I’m a firm believer in what Lord Krishna says in the Gita. Do your duty but expect no fruits thereof,” he concludes. Both Ajtih and Ravikumar are sure that Godfather would be a turning point to their career.

That's the magic of it :wink: :wink: Wait till' the movie come out which we have to wait 2 MONTHS :x :x

Agi Music, a Malaysian company, holds the world distribution rights except in India. This is the same company whch released IR's Thiruvasakam in Symphony and Guru Ramana Geetham.

If you notice the cover of Godfather, you will see the words "enhanced CD" which means you can play on your computer and when you do that, you get to watch the aforesaid interviews.

Be Original, Buy Original :thumbsup:

God Father Songs sucks, including the much hyped Theyil Vizuntha. Why has he turned into so much patho mode these days. No variation, its boring.

Inisai...I cannot understand the head and tail out of this song. Its so boring, mediocre, have never had the patience to listen it completely.

ARR is still trying to regain his touch since he lost it around 2000....

Kaatril has certainly grown after few listenings. Probably one of the best duet version in recent times. Initially, the "sahiba" sounds very odd but SPB's entry and a twist in the form of "snehidhe" is really soothing! The accordian debut in the song is totally mesmerising! The lyrics are prolonged for a subtle meaning. Perfect choice of vocals SPB & Sadhana. Eagerly awaiting to watch it on the BIG Screen.

Thanks to coolcrave for his excellent review! :clap:

Singers: S.P.Balasubramaniam, Sadhana Sargam and Reena Bharadwaj (Click here to listen to an exclusive interview about her).
Genre: Sentimental Pop.

The breezy effects of this song are lovable. Sadhana in a delicate manner renders the first two lines from pallavi of the song emotionally. She is accompanied by haunting chord progressions bursting in passion. The Dholak and tinkles of the hand cymbals conquers the melodic atmosphere subsequently changing the mood of the song. Reena then enters into a Middle Eastern music mode with Reena singing phrases “hey Hey sahibbah” on air, melodically interesting. The violin enters in vigorously, proving its music ability in the song. Then it’s back to a full pallavi where the accordion makes its debut, dramatically enchanting the melody. The melodic boost here is the bright ascending notes from the keyboard played over the background. An Undeniable breathtaking start. S.P.B comes in the picture singing “Snehidi or my girlfriend”. When S.P.B renders the caranam the rhythms sync in with perfect timing, sharpening notes executions in the melody. A fantastic reverb effect is used from 2: 14 to 2: 16 on the dholak. A distinct instrumental arrangement occupies the second part of the caranam. Filled with strings, and guitar, it transmits a dazzling mood shift. The second caranam is filled with a pitiful synth effect which highlights the lyrics of the song there. Both S.P.B and sadhana goes on demonstrating their vocal versatility while rendering the caranams taking on various mood and hues of sentiment. The beats of the song moves unsoiled while handling different parts of the song. The rhythm transition is so perfect that moods are unpredictable directly flattering the soul of a listener. The track moves on to flourish on more melodic creativity. S.P.B breaks in an unusual feel while he renders the pallavi for the first time at the end of the song. The duet in the pallavi is luxurious; it just heightens the emotional bliss of a listener. The song ends with Sadhana’s “Hey hey snehida or hey hey my boyfriend” and a sharp execution of the dholak. Just amazing.

Singers: An incredible vocal line-up evoking a music paradise at instant. A distinct music adaptability of S.P.B. makes him one of the most sort after playback singer in India. He proved his versatile vocal execution in Ah Aah’s Thazhuvudu Nazhuvudu in R & B genre. Now a sentimental genre? What more lies ahead for him is capricious. Sadhana on the other hand is the female counterpart of S.P.B. She devours the finest of what music has to offer. The duo lends beauty to this song not only by their vocal but Tamil dictions. Both of them are amateurs in the A.R.Rahman league. Reena had her share of fame in Menaaxi’s Hey Rishta and the recent duet with Kavitha krishnamurty in Mangal pandey’s Mai vari Vari. Although new, she is riding high with her vocal chords.

Interludes: Two stunning interludes support this song. The first one from 1: 36 to 2: 03. The strings take part actively in the first interlude. Every dynamic violin strokes is responded with a sharp rhythmic expression based on the Middle Eastern style creating a unique fusion at whole. The whole atmosphere of the interlude is transformed into a subtle sequence when S.P.B. and Sadhana comes into its next phase. The subtle version highlights their vocals with the support of the accordion. The second interlude from 3: 15 to 3: 55 takes us into another dimension of the song. This interlude is vibrant, having a tremolo effect on S.P.B.’s rhythmic syllable rendering. The strings cry to a brighter tune along with the piano and the accordion here. The chord progression here is something to watch out for. Then as the first interlude, the magical tune manifests into the main mood of the song having the strings section making the first move. Wow mind blowing!

Mood, Melody and Emotion: The song doesn’t totally put you in somber. There are brighter sequences in the melody which portray a blissful mood. Take for instance the start of the second interlude. The melody has shades of the carnatic ragas Natabhairavi and Sindhubhairavi. Both ragas were used extensively in Alaipauthey’s “Snehidhane Snehidhane”. These ragas are perfect help in bringing out that accurate mood proportions of the song. The emotion characterized in this song is the longing for love, and mixed love confessions made by the hero and heroin. A fine love song indeed.

Lyrics: The lyrics for this song are spectacular. There phrase kaathril Orr vaarthai itself is enough to inject high dosage of astonishment into listeners. The lyrics are based on strong confessions made by the lovers about their level of purity in love. The lyrics also inform us about the lover’s converse their expectation in a love relationship in regards to gender.
