I bought it on sunday from Calypso Jayanagar 4th block.
The movie is not an extensive classical music album - it is diluted, fast, made in view of the popular reach that a kalaignar movie will have. The competetion song - which had much scope to let Raja dwell more in depth with the intricacies in the charanams, he reigns himself in - so that the tune is in accordance to a dance competition - not a singing competition - so the comparison wit 'isai arasi' though it pops up - is not valid.
:shock: New to Bengaluru ? I am not sure whether you will get it in forum. Even for popular CDs, they take at least 1 week. Anyway, check it out :)Quote:

'Kallori' fame Akhil plays Pandian, a pickpocket, while Meera Nandan, the girl who made her debut in a Malayalam film ‘Mulla’, plays the female lead.
The heroine runs a crèche and an incident unites the lead pair. The change that comes over the hero and how it makes a change to many lives in society forms the story.
According to Anantha Narayanan, 'the whole movie is set in north Chennai. The very mention of the place makes one think of blood, gore and violence. But that won't be the case. It is about a man who commits petty crimes and how his life takes a turn'.
On his association with Shankar, he says, ' Shankar always gave us independence. He expects his assistants to develop individuality. Though I learnt the nuances of film-making from Shankar, I will always follow my own way'.
Music is by Ilayaraja and editing by VT Vijayan. Vaali does the lyrics and Alagappan handles the cinematography.
I bought the CD today. BigMusic has released it. I have listened to it only once. My pick is 'Pularkindra pozhuthu' by Sreeram Parthasarathy. Even after repeated listenings, I am sure it will be my pick.
Why didn't they show this song in the trailer? :banghead:
Rediff's comment on IR (amidst a very negative review of the movie):
Ilaiyaraja is one of those composers who are incapable of delivering bad work even when their hearts are not in it. His songs, especially, Kallai Irunthen and Ethanai Baavangal are worth a listen.

After couple of listenings, I change my mind, I like kallAi irunthEn song very much now.

But I am not expecting anything great in this film...
Ilayaraja is back with a bang
IndiaGlitz [Tuesday, July 08, 2008]
After a brief lull, Ilayaraja is back with his best. His tunes in 'Uliyin Osai' went on to become hits. What's more…. his background score in the movie was also critically hailed.
Now the maestro is keen to continue his good run. He has got a couple of biggies in his kitty for this year. Director Bala's 'Naan Kadavul' and the Namitha starrer 'Jagan Mohini'.
Bala and Ilayaraja have always hit the bull’s eye with their association. Buzz is that the songs in 'Naan Kadavul' have shaped out to be very good.
There are also huge expectations for 'Jaganmohini' for it is a period film and Ilayaraja is known to weave magic in such ventures.
