2.75 / 5
Udhayam NH4 is a GV Prakash musical and features Siddharth and Ashrita Shetty in the lead.
Vaa Iravugal - This one is a synth-driven EDM track which is a staple at clubs and dance floors. We have a rap segment, hints of dubstep and a lame kuthu routine in the end. The end result isn’t appealing and the track is average at best. Such club songs aren’t GV’s cup of tea and this is something that Yuvan aces in every album.
Indrodu Thadaigal -The rhythm of this song is similar to DSP’s signature beats and the tune isn’t anything special. One gets a feeling that this one is a really noisy track particularly the passé trumpet segment. Dancers might enjoy this one for its pace.
Maalai Pon Maalai - This breezy melody is bound to garner all the likes, tweets and shares in the online space. It is immediately endearing thanks to its gentle clap-like rhythm, the pleasant vocals of Bela Shinde and the elegant guitar and flute instrumentals. We also get to hear the talented S.P.Charan, making one of his sporadic appearances in the Tamil music scene.
Yaaro Ivan - This superhit track features real-life couple GV (sounding heavily nasal) and Saindhavi perfectly in sync and delivery a harmonious duet. The gentle rhythm of the number, the classy guitar touches and the Raja-esque use of strings, flutes give the song its charm. Note to forget the cool whistle piece which is sure to become a popular ringtone.
Ora Kannala - Gaana Bala belts out Ora Kannala in his typical earthy style. The song is tailor-made for him and the typical native instrumentation is reminiscent of Thenisai Thendral Deva’s countless yesteryear gaana songs. A different attempt considering GV’s repertoire till now.
VERDICT: The two melodies lift the album big time while the gaana is a cheeky little addition.
