Thegidi (Music)

Thirukumaran Entertainment’s next offering in line is the crime thriller Thegidi, which is directed by P.Ramesh of the Naalaya Iyakkunar fame. Music is composed by debutant Nivas K. Prasanna, who is said to be an assistant of veteran veena player Rajesh Vaidya. Are the songs worth hearing?

Yaar Ezhudiyadho is the kickstarter to the album, which is flawlessly sung by Sathya Prakash Dharmar. Sounding like Harish Raghavendra at places, Sathya Prakash single handedly takes this song to the zenith. The simple percussions and breezy lyrics by Kabilan go in tandem.

Neeyum Dhinam is the next track, sung by Andrea. With a porsche feel to it, the spooky music provides the thrill factor needed for the film.

Abhay Jodhpurkar and Saindhavi team up for a duet number in Vinmeen Vithaiyil. Keeping it simple once again, Nivas provides more room for the singers to perform. And yes, they do it quite well.

Kangalai Oru is a short and sweet number crooned by Ajesh Ashok.

The final song in the album, Needhane Needhane is a grand track with heavy orchestration. With Rajesh Vaidya on the veena and Shankar Mahadevan on the vocals, this song blends rich fusion with Carnatic notes. Albeit seven minutes long, this number manages to hold on for a few repeated hearings.

Thegidi’s music album does provide good melodies well within the aura of the film. Nivas K.Prasanna’s music is pretty straightforward, yet unique. By avoiding the inclusion of noisy sounds which gobble up the elemental essence of the music, he has biased more room for the playback singers to stress on the delivery and lyrics. Kudos to the young composer for bringing up an album which is neat on the ears.

Pick : Yaar Ezhudiyadho

Verdict : Newbie Nivas is here to stay.
