Thirumanam Ennum Nikkah

During diwali I had the opportunity of watching this movie and I was pleasantly surprised. The movie is a breezy romantic movie. The major highlight is its songs. I like all the songs instantly and Ghibran has done a great job. Chillendra Chillendra is my favorite out of the lot. I hope you enjoy these songs too.

Kochadaiiyaan - Audio

Writing the name of this film with the right spelling is a nightmare as there are two i's and two a's. I never thought this movie will see the light as it was directed by Soundarya who is just famous for launching movies but not releasing them. But proving me wrong the trailer and audio has been released and the movie might indeed see the light.

What was impressive about the trailer was the sound effects and Rajini's voice. Rajini's voice which was lacking its punch in previous movies is back in form. On the visual effects it does leave a kind of mixed feelings. As there is a huge crowd waiting to laugh at the movie even a small slide will give them the reason for that. If it is a Kamal film people would say atleast he tried but it will not be the case for a Rajini movie.

Coming to the audio I can say that AR has given his best even though the movie is not like a normal movie. Each song is a different experience. To be frank on first listening except for Manapennin Sathiyam all other songs gave a let down feeling.

After listening to the songs on my Yamaha system the songs and the orchestration sounded excellent. None of the songs have the usual Rajini song feel or a simple catchy tune. They are very different and though it is cliche I have to say it takes multiple listening to like the songs. I am sure the songs would sound great in theaters with great sound systems. I just hope that the movie is as good as the songs.

You Can Leave Your Hat On

A sensous song from the movie 9 1/2 weeks. Mickey Rourke and Kim Basinger are awesome.

Bheema Mudhal Mazhai

Harris Jeyaraj songs most of the time will have traces of his previous compositions. Still he has composed some great music. This is one such song. I didnt listen to this song when the movie was released. Also songs other than this one in Bheema didnt impress me much. But this one just blew me away with its excellent music. I felt the background key board work has similarities with AR's Kuluvalile.

A cool song - Merke merke

Aile Aile

A nice song and Nayanathara looks beautiful in this movie

Enthiran

Wanted to listen to the songs in my own CD so avoided listening in FM and mp3s which were available from 30th.

Today bought the CD from Landmark Spencer plaza.

Here is my experience on listening to Enthiran songs for the first time.

The first song Puthiya Manitha started with a electronic voice and went on as some school prayer. I was kind of hoping for some exciting opening but the starting was quite contrary to my expectations and slowly SPBs voice started and I could see myself falling into the rhythm but before I could enjoy it fully the music was over.

I fast forwarded the next song Kadhal Anukal as I read that it was a melody as I wanted a fast beat song.

Next song Irumbil oru Idhayam had some heavy beats but I couldnt gel into the song.

The next song was just music Chitti dance and again I was not impressed.

Then came the song of the album Arima Arima I was totally mesmerised by the song awesome song. I liked Hariharans voice with full energy.

The song that followed Kilmenjaro is a very jolly song enjoyed it thoroughly on the first listening itself.

The next song that followed was Boom Boom Robot da which was again with different beats but I couldnt gel with it in my first listening.

But as I continued listening to the songs they are growing within me and the first song Puthiya Manitha is awesome. Irumbil oru Idhayam, Chitti, Boom Boom Robot and Kadhal Anukaal are also slowly getting into me.

Overall a very good album.

As of now I rate the songs as follows

1) Arima Arima
2) Puthiya Manitha
3) Kilmenjaro
4) Irumbil oru Idhayam
5) All other songs

But I m sure after repeated hearing the order might change.

Sura

There is one song in the to be released movie Sura which has lot of verve. The tempo of the song along with the lyrics sets a great expectation for the song.

Though its a duet the lyrics style is like the "Athiradi" song from Sivaji.

I hope they have done justice to the song in picturisation.

I also heard songs in Sura are tamil versions of some Telugu songs.

This song also resembles the "Vaa chellam" song from movie Thoranai.

And for those who are still wondering which song I am talking about it is the "Naan nadanthal athiradi" song.

This is it

Watched This is it today. The movie once again proves Michael Jackson is the King. The movie showcases the enormous amount of effort that has gone into this what would have been a show like never before.

The movie shows Michael rehearsing with other dancers. We can see how cool he is and how effortlessly he does those complex movements. We can see him very cheerful and happy. His death must have been very shocking to those people who worked with him for this show day and night.

The movie shows the side of Michael we have never seen. We can see him composing, practising and being one among them.

The Earth song was awesome. The numbers They dont really care about us, Thriller would have come with extrodinary works if the shows had gone live. The world just missed an excellent show.

We will miss the excellent showman, King of pop, forever.

Scream

The above title is the title of one of MJs songs in his History Album. This is one song to which I go to whenever I feel like kicking some ass. As the title goes the song starts with a huge scream and builds the tempo. By the time the song is over you will feel relaxed as if some vengence and frustration has gone out of you.

Feel like kicking ones ass or for the matter your own ass? What are you waiting for Scream in high decibel.

Fatboy slim

This is my favorite music video. Christopher Walken rocks.
