1.75 / 5
The music of Alex Pandian was released on 12 - 12 - 12. Karthi, Anushka, Sanusha, Nikitha and Santhanam are a part of the cast list. Suraj directs while Devi Sri Prasad has composed the music ... Here comes my late but latest review .
Bad Boy … Cheers
Baba Sehgal, Priya Himesh
This is a real catchy number in typical DSP style. Baba Sehgal's vocals add more spunk to the song. The visuals of the number are already on air and one must say, it is an entertainer to the core thanks to Karthi’s quirky dance moves inclusive of the ‘Gangnam Style’ routine. The peppy electronic beats and ‘video game’ like sounds give the song its life and groove. The trumpets in the first interlude give some mass factor to the song.
Raiyya Raiyya
Javed Ali, Ranina Reddy
The Hindi verses at the start are pretty funny and catchy but what follows is a typical Telugu tune with the DSP beats thrown in for fair measure. Some retro sound effects are also added. Anushka has to take care of this song’s popularity with her oomph. The choice of Javed Ali for a mass number like this is surprising for we have heard him in mellifluous melodies before, while Ranina Reddy delivers a sprightly performance.
Naalu Pakkam
Devi Sri Prasad, Anitha
The song has a primitive character associated with it thanks to the lyrics talking about the jungle and also the related sound effects. DSP renders a typically full throttled performance but his beats are so typical of his earlier songs. The song shifts to a Middle Eastern style segment in the second interlude and that is the only notable aspect of the song. The visuals promise something interesting which might appeal to the kids.
Onnam Class
Mukesh, Priyadarshini
This is another percussions driven number with nothing new going in the tune. The song seems to be made for Telugu audiences. The gibberish that keeps repeating in this song is pretty funny. The two vocalists keep up to the song’s earthy intentions of entertaining but is it bad to expect something fresh in a song?
Thakka Thaiyaa
Karthik
Santhanam, Karthi and co. pepper the song with some enjoyable banter for what seems to be a celebratory number. Nadaswaram and the thavil make their customary presence for such native numbers while the harmonium delights in a little segment. Karthik seems at ease as always as the song doesn’t demand much from his range.
FINAL WORD: Devi Sri Prasad has given some loud percussion driven numbers which are passable at best. The Telugu flavor dominates and Andhra might give a better reception to these songs than Tamil Nadu. Bad Boy is definitely the cherry on the cake.
