Being the first film for Anand Shankar, an assistant of AR. Murugadoss, Arima Nambi is said to be an action thriller. Vikram Prabhu's 3rd film, it stars Priya Anand alongside him. Cinematography is by RD. Rajasekar as Drums Sivamani makes his musical debut with this one. So, how good are the songs?
Idhayam : Singer - Javed Ali
The album starts off with the song that was released as a teaser few days ago. Javed Ali's vocals are the saving grace to this middling tune which has little innovation embedded. The stunning visuals will make up for the song, hopefully.
Naanum Unnil Paadhi: Singers - Alma and Rita
Ever since the first minute which is purely instrumental, this tune never captivates and turns into a tedious listen as it gets gibberish towards the end.
Neeyae Neeyae: Singer - Shreya Ghoshal
Sivamani must be lauded for the instrumentation in this one, made out of water droplets. Yet, it becomes monotonous halfway, thereby finishing on a crawl. Another turn down!
Yaaro Yaar Aval - Shabbir and Runa
Just when the album is digging its own grave, Sivamani gives us a rock number which is worth a few listens. Shabbir's stylish pronunciations take this song to a respectable level, though the sounds do take a beating at places.
Theme: Instrumental
Who would have thought that the best track in the album would be the theme of the movie? Well, it is. Sivamani makes use of the electric guitar and the drums as things finally fall into place, right at the end of the album.
Sivamani seems to be finding it hard to get a stellar track on the shelf for his debut effort. The orchestrations are waggy, as listening to the first half of the album really does test your patience. Here's a word to director, if you have faith in your narrating skills, cut a few songs off cos they might just ebb out the flow of the movie.
Pick : Yaaro Yaar Aval
Verdict : Unexciting debut from Sivamani.
2 / 5
