Nambiyaar (Music)

Vijay Antony has now become a hero, who is quickly establishing himself onto the next league. Meanwhile, he has somehow managed to tip off some of his time to get back to his roots and compose some music for Srikanth’s next, Nambiyaar. With Sunaina essaying the female lead, Nambiyaar has Santhanam for comic relief. Let’s jump into the music review, right away.

Aara Amara : Singer – Santhanam

A drunkard’s jingle crooned by the comedian himself, this track tries too hard to be catchy. As a result, we are presented with a song which is takes irritation to the next level. The second version, although a touch decent, is no better.

Idhuvarai Yaarum : Singers – Rahul Nambiar, Chinmayi

An electronic track with a relatively good pair-up goes out of rhythm and ends up being another downer. The rap bits don’t help either, the only saving grace being Chinmayi’s vocals.

Kaima Kaisa : Singer – Naresh Iyer

This track, which has more of a tech-based Punjabi dhol to it is a hurried one which taps the musings to money and celebrations. No Vijay Antony, no!

Thoongum Penne : Singer – Srinivas

Vijay Antony sticks to the basics for this song, which has a fairly simple tune and fine lyrics which take it a step above the other songs which are wildly crass. Neat rendition too.

Saroja Devi Ennai Paar : Singer – Aalaap Raju

Here is a joke. Vijay Antony takes the tune of the previous song, replaces the singer with Aalaap Raju to lyrics which are crooked compared to the former. Dismal!

If acting is working out for Vijay Antony, he better stick to that. Nambiyaar is an abominable album, and there is nothing good to take from it. The kiss of death beckons Srikanth, for he has been bestowed with a flaky album from a reasonably bankable composer. Nine times out of ten, the songs aren’t going to help the movie in any way.  

Pick : Thoongum Penne

Dear Vijay Antony, better get back or go back.
