First listen over

Ghibran has definitely taken TFM to a different level!

As an HCIRF this is the kind of soundtrack I would have loved to come out of IR's stable!

That either Kamal managed to extract it from Ghibran or it is Ghibran's repertoire by itself - is very heart-warming and welcome.

Now - the scores have the feel of Danny Elfman in parts - very much influenced by scores for Spiderman, 300 etc - there is a brief section that sounds a bit like Goodwill Hunting theme score - I would say its a quasi-original score and the period part score has a very Disney like fantasy feel so am anticipating heavy use of CGI and other SFX.

the tunes themselves do not stand out - as Venkkiram says - however what lacks in melody is made up with both the orchestral parts as well as the production quality.

the Western/European classical elements are very Hollywood generic - in the sense Ghibran has not done anything unique to merit something like his signature - but yet, it is a huge step ahead

btw "Letter to and from Yamini" is a direct ripoff from IR's "puthham pudhu poo poothadho" - the unpicturised song from Thalapathy!
