[MumbaiRamki]

Kannai padithaen is just heavenly !!!!
Itwofs, review enga .. waiting for ur interesting adjectives on raaja's composition -!

[MumbaiRamki]

RS ,
Paavam nga karthik raja .. vidunga !
karthik raja does work for raaja , ( even in virumaandi he did lot of work ) but nt able to differentiate here ..

I too had the same feel when I listened to 'JaganMohini' Earlier.

sir , romba over .. jagan mohini was very mediocre except the nilavu varum song. this is much much better !

Heard only once.

Kodi Kodi koduthalaam : Embrassement for a period film , esp pallavi and anu appalavi. may be repeated listening may change
.

My pick after listening to the album once Not sure how you felt this song as embarassement? Listen again and Iam sure that you will like it!

ஜகன் மோகினியில் வரும் "பொன்மணித்தேரில்" பாடல் மிகவும் செழுமையானது. அந்தப்பாடலின் சில விஷயங்கள் இந்தப்படத்தின் பவானி பாடலில் கேட்கலாம்.

I liked the pon mani theril tune - but the synth pad made me hate it

I heard the other songs , but this one - to put it softly, felt was too synth- loud and massy for a period movie . I was reminded of ' Ele enga vandha' kind of song ...The interludes was liek KR made , jazzy , trendy and a mis fit for my taste of a period song .

I expected very traditional song like the islam song in pazaasi raja , this was quite off the tangent and too synth ! Not to speak of the ordinary lyrics by Na Muthukumar

Forgetting thsi discussion, except the interludes , i did not like the tune , overall setup of the song ... Again , no two brains are the same here .And finally , who cares - its what we like that matters ( how many people here like unnai kanum pothe from the en mana vaanil - i love that song !)

I agree that we do not appreciate songs in the same way. After listening to the entire album once,I felt that "Thedi vantha Devathai" falls out of place...Somehow a misfit for a traditional movie. I felt the same for 'Odathanil" from Pazhassi raja as well.
Bavani Varugiraa is definitely growing in me...Iam sure after repeated hearing there would me much better opinions on most of the songs here. Some of them are situational songs for me like "Annamar Kathai" and would look great with visuals... .Iam still listening to Bavani varugiraa...

[MumbaiRamki]

Repeating grouse , as im unable to bear it .

1) 'Thedi vandha devathai' : if i ever get snehan in my hand , i will ask him to do 'okki' , until he pleads guilty of writing nonsense lyrics of a superb tune and orchestration ... esp for a period film. I don't have a clue what people spoke 1000 years at home and by raajas and im sure nattupura pattu in those times had simple lyrics. But ina movie which is supposed to transport you , this will be a big hinderent - lyrics , big let down !!!!

Yeah , especially using the sleezy modulation is an age old technique which our raaja still uses( adhu seri , when old programmers do it , we call legacy) . The tune , orchestration is excellent but this aspect and the inapt lyrics pulls it down ...
