2.25 / 5
Starring: Vishal, Trisha, Sunaina
Written and Directed by: Thiru
Music by: Yuvan Shankar Raja
Lyrics: Na. Muthukumar
The music of Vishal’s upcoming Samar was released today.
Song: Vellai Maiyil
Singers: Udit Narayan, Shweta Mohan
The song begins with pleasant flute notes but once Udit Narayan starts with his routine of killing Tamil, the song starts losing its shine. Why is Yuvan still persisting with this guy? It’s baffling. The song has good processed beats and the female vocals are also sweet. The veena interludes are also nicely done. But, a better male vocalist could have lifted the song.
Song: Azhagho Azhaghu
Singer: Naresh Iyer
This song also has processed beats and Naresh Iyer is soft and likable. It’s a peppy melody with a ‘not so new’ tune. Trisha and the visuals might lift the song on screen. The typical Yuvan synth sounds are present in this song too in the form of whistles while the second strings interlude is refreshing.
Song: Rajaavin Thoattathil
Singers: K.G. Ranjith, Rita
This song again has a heavy electronic sound. Such item numbers aren’t new to Yuvan. There is nothing new about this racy and peppy song which has the Yuvan stamp writ all over it, particularly the instrumental portion that repeats. One of the singer’s voice has been processed interestingly and in contrast to the other vocalist. The English rap portion towards the end gels with the fastish nature of the song.
Song: Poikkaal Kuthirai
Singer: Yuvan Shankar Raja
The song starts off with Yuvan’s voice mixed in an unconventional psychedelic way. A similar attempt was made in Katradhu Thamizh in the ‘Innum Or Iravu’ number. Some of the sounds in the song are really quirky. On the whole, this is another number with the unmistakable Yuvan touch and it’s something new in the mainstream Tamil film music scene.
Song: Oru Kannil Vaegam
Singers: K.G. Ranjith, Naveen Madhav, Suchitra
This song trumps for the lead man with heroic lyrics. Suchitra’s rap portions at the start are akin to the bubblegum pop genre. The synth flute and female chorus in the second interlude are the highlights of the number. The chorus part ‘Sama Sama Samaran’ is really ordinary, one feels.
FINAL WORD: This is one of Yuvan’s average efforts. Much more is expected from the Little Maestro. Vishal – Yuvan’s earlier associations had much better music.
