@gganesh,

That is because some phrases from 'Senthoorapoove' have been included in this song.

ராஜாசரணம் ..

மொக்கையா இருந்ததா .. ...

Breach is a quality spy thriller movie devoid of superficial nudity, idiotic guns and meaningless car chases.

There is no action in this film, because in the beginning itself we were told how it ends.

The movie is all about characters interaction. tightly guided and are finely made.

Strength of the movie is acting..story centered around the actors who performed exceptionally well with Subtle nuances. (I am not a big fan of over dramatizing actors ) Human ego, emotions, arrogance...Copper's intense performance.

I love low key movies with good substance.

(What happened to Mani Ratnam's RAVANA?)

No country for Men.. if you are watching, you may find it inconclusive.

Logical violence, appropriate but huge bloody bodies in your face. I loved the creepiness of the villan otherwise look very regular. (Note the coin-toss scene in grocery store) After they established the violence, they started showing with understated scenes, no twists in the film, beautiful cinematography of the West Texas wilderness, minimal dialogue and bgm...SILENCE. and the wind. I loved it in the theater and in dvds couple of times. எனக்குப் பிடித்த film..

அழகர் மலை songs are O.K.
Ulagam .... a Self patronising philosophical composition with absolutely no energy is a disappointment for me after seeing those photos.

IR has done already like that as I pointed out(oru chiri kandaal..tune usage for a divine album), completely not suitable tune, miserably failing to bring the rasa/mood the composition intended.

another song I point.

Same tune in Raga Ahir Bhairavi.
Same tune used by Shri.IR and Laxmikant Pyarilal.
But the tune served the purpose of the composition better with L.P.
marandhen.....Ilayaraajavin Geethanjali.
sola baras.....Ek tujhe keLiye...L.P.Same tune packed with passion, pathos, drama is stunning.
But marandhen......filmy tune in IR's Geethanjali doesn't carry any mood in a devotional album for me.

vinatha.

"Ulagam ippo..."

Hangover of "Mella oorndhu oorndhu.." from NL . Another version of "Niram piriththu.." from Time !

strange - when someone like inetk likes an IR album after a long while, IR fans are divided in accepting the album!! strange indeed. I am yet to listen and hope to catch up with it soon to say which side i am on.

Jai,

I am sure you will like the album.

BTW, does anyone know who is the female singer in the 'Karugumani' song? The CD credits only Illayaraja!!

'Unnai Enakku' along with 'Kannil Paarvai' from NK, are probably the best female solos we have heard in TFM in the recent past.

IR fans have always been divided in accepting IR albums (as far as I can recall from discussions on the recent albums here) - so whats strange about this one?

Karuga mani is my pick from Azhagar Malai.The orchestration and composition sounds fresh when compared to IR's recent works. This song makes the rest of the soundtrack sound average and I am glad that he took a break from his usual synth sounds.

The sound quality is also much better than IR's recent releases. Now I Can't wait to listen to IR's next.....

I guess its Bela Shinde. If its her then this is her second duet with IR, she had earlier sung with IR in Machan Machan from Silambattam.

This album is full of energy..

Raaja proves that he is still capable of delivering tracks with amazing interludes and orchestration.. Absolutely love the violins in kizhake, karugamani, muthama ..
Dint have much hopes for this album.. but here comes the surprise package! Hail the Maestro!
Fantastic songs..
