Directed by newbie Raj Zacharias, Kadavul Paadhi Mirugam Paadhi is a relatively small film, the most familiar face being Pooja Umashankar. However, the team has pulled up a trump card by making Malayalam composer Rahul Raj compose the tunes for the film. How are the songs? Read on.
Naan Indru Naan Dhaana : Singer - Sooraj Santhosh, Lyrics - Viveka
In an astonishing start to the album, we have Rahul Raj pulling off a coup with the first song itself. Naan Indru Naan Dhaana is one of the most addictive tunes at this point of the year, well aided by Sooraj Santhosh on the vocals. The song which begins like a Harris Jayaraj composition, quickly snaps to a Yuvan-ish beat. The dark horse of recent Tamil music.
Enadhu Ulagil : Singer - Gayathri Suresh, Lyrics - Yugabharathi
Though this track has pedestrian vocals by Gayathri, it is the interludes which pop in at the high points that make this song a listenable one.
Meenamma Meenamma : Singer - Suchitra Karthik, Lyrics - Karuna Karan
Suchi is back to what she does best, kuthu music. The build up to the Meenamma verse is the best part of the song, which is otherwise a mainstream kuthu number.
Beast Rock : Singers - Arjun Sasi, Rahul Raj, Lyrics - Arjun Sasi
Long time since we've had a good rock bit in Tamil, and this title track helps in that angle. Rahul Raj keeps the tempo going throughout, gelling in the rap lines pretty well.
The Dark Theme : Singers - Rahul Raj, Anna Katherina
Hell bent on the keyboard and the guitar, the keystone to this number is Anna Katherina's fiery vocals which do draw in some chills.
Though Kadavul Paadhi Mirugam Paadhi isn't a commendable debut of sorts, it proves that Rahul Raj can recreate his Mallu magic in Tamil too. Much of it is evident from the first track, which has the potential to become a chartbuster with good marketing.
Pick : Naan Indru Naan Dhaana
A harmless album, led by the Sooraj Santhosh number.
