Vaayamoodi summa iruda … THUMBS UP
Aalaap Raju
The guitar notes are a beautiful backdrop to this cute number which has a simple tune. Aalap Raju is truly spellbinding. The chorus makes the song even more endearing while the dialogs interspersed are engaging. Sure to make a mark for the sheer melody and the simple yet classy instrumental accompaniments. A great start to the album.
Lullaby for loss Theme
This theme is very sober with gentle guitar notes. It will surely sooth your senses. Interestingly titled as it definitely does sound like a lullaby. Towards the end, the theme picks up and becomes more intense and dramatic.
Kudi vaazhthu
Mysskin
After ‘Kannadasan Kaarakudi’, this is yet another number rendered by Mysskin based on the TASMAC crowd and the culture of boozing to forget all worldly worries. The tempo is slow and the percussions have also been toned down. The lines ‘Bodha Illadha Sandhoshama, Raja Illadha Sangeethama’ pack a punch in a song where the lyrics stand out even otherwise. There is a mellow instrumental track before the first stanza to add more drama to the song.
Blue panther on the prowl Theme … THUMBS UP
This is the heroic theme that played along with the trailer. It has enough tempo and pace to send the pulse racing. Would sound great along with some nice chase sequence on screen. The starting of the theme has a distinct Hans Zimmer touch
Maayavi
Chinmayi
This one has more than a fair share of seriousness in it. Chinmayi sounds different in this song compared to her general peppy numbers and the instrumentals before the second stanza stand out. Somehow it turns out to be a typical Myskkin number which we have heard in his earlier films.
Cape of Good Hope Theme
This interesting theme again starts off akin to Hans Zimmer’s style. There is a nice orchestra of string and brass instruments, with minimum percussive beats.
Hell Heaven and the Ladder Theme … THUMBS UP
Really intense despite being a short theme. The violin makes a lot of impact. Superb, one must say.
Come let’s fall in love Theme
Beautifully titled, this one is very soothing. It takes off from the “Vaayamoodi summa iruda” number. Nice guitar, piano and violin bits add to the relaxing mood. Very long for a theme, though.
Maayavi Flute Theme
This is the flute rendition of the earlier number by Chinmayi. The flute as such is a divine instrument and it sounds typically mellifluous.
Vaayamoodi summa iruda with Guitar
Aalaap Raju
In this version, there are some extra guitar additions to the first number. It just adds more taste to the ultimate outcome. Aalap Raju can count this as yet another chartbuster in his list.
Don’t drive your car with this music On Theme … THUMBS UP.
Another long theme and an eclectic one at that. The beat is really thumping. K has invested a lot of effort into making this one, a theme to savor. Who got such a title for this theme? Pretty indigenous.
VERDICT: K’s themes really lift the album and make us look forward to the movie’s BGM score. Among the songs, Aalap Raju’s number takes the cake. On the whole, the music has provided a good platform for the superhero to soar
