Aayirathil Oruvan(Tamil,G.V.Prakash Kumar)

Naveen's Celebration of life is jaw dropping-The incredible assortment of sounds that is packaged in this track is absolutely lovely to listen to!..G.V.Prakash's Indha Paadhai is as imaginative as it can get-the moody and apt backgrounds blend amazingly well with the composers vocals.Taking cue from a prominent and a familiar tune,Oh Eesa is one heck of a catchy track complete with seemingly stylish rendering by Karthik and impresses right away.With a rather sluggish start,Pemmaane progresses to become into one really interesting number,aptly fitting to the film's theme and incredibly sung by Bombay Jayashree.Thaai Thindra Mannae is too good for words-The cholan ecstasy version has some incredible fusion of sounds along with some fitting orchestration that impeccably depicts the particular era.This track just perfectly epitomizes the fact that G.V.Prakash is destined for greater things.Ditto for the classical version-Vijay Yesudas completely gets into the scheme of things with his powerful vocals.Again the orchestration is a major highpoint!..Dhanush's Un Mela Aasadhan goes for a complete shift in genre-Very Yuvan'ish,its uncanny similarity to Adada Va(from Sarvam) is quite unnerving,but its neat orchestration along with surprisingly good vocals by Dhanush work in favour of the song.Neil Mukherjee and Madras Augustin Choir's The King Arrives is super punchy and absolutely rousing while some hooks added in the end are damn funky!..Andrea and G.V's Maalai Neram is the only mediocre track-The standard tune is undone by Andrea's vocals but has quite pleasant backgrounds.Just as Yuvan's dark and witty compositions in Pudhupettai was pathbreaking in every sense,G.V's Aayirathil Oruvan is not far behind-The most innovative tamil soundtrack I've heard in recent times!

Nice Review dude as i expected...
I heard the soundtrack in the morning...and was jus waiting wen ur sms would come...
anyways..i loved the andrea's Maalai Naeram song also..

Don't you think Kollywood is getting inspired by hollywood in the music department also...thought others have already been conquered..??

Well , lets wait and watch for the movie whether its any gud for such a rich soundtrack!

Yea,I always thought Kollywood's music is very competent-very much equal to bollywood(Bollywood is getting better cuz of more newcomers more than anything else)..But Indian music is getting really better by the day!..

Yea looking forward to watch the movie-That too Selvaraghavan!
Huge Expectations!

that oh easa song is a rip off of "govinda govinda...sreenivaasa govinda" which is a sloka played in most of the temples...
