My brief 10 points analysis about Endhiran.. 8 strong points and 2 weak
points...
(1) Vairamuthu... I would give full marks to Vairamuthu's lyrics. Especially
Vairamuthu Sir is at his best in "Pudhiya Manitha" and "Kadhal Anukal". Even
though scientifically they are pretty simple, its a nice attempt to bring
scientific concepts in Tamil lyrics. None of them sounded forced, but it
naturally fitted with the theme of the album. One small change in the "Kadhal
Anukal" lyrics would have been nice. Instead of saying "Neutron Electron Unn
Neela Kannil", I would have written "Photon Electron Unn Neela Kannil..".
(2) Madan Karki... I should also congratulate Madan Karki's lyrics in Irumbile
Oru Edhyam. I now know what a Robot will sing if it falls in Love. A good debut
for Karki..
(3) Kash n Krissy... First time in Thamizh film music we have a Female Rapper.
Yes. Kash n' Krissy sounded awesome. Their voice sounded quite contemporary and
definitely cool (I liked the way they said supersonic, super star, rapper girl
etc). A welcome inclusion to the tamil music world. Hope they/she comes with
some cool tamil rap albums.
(4) Pudhiya Manitha.... Its pure genious composition. some interesting elements
in the song are SPB singing both in high and low pitch... minimum sound
manipulation of SPB's voice. Doing it too much, would have spoiled the song.
Doing the sound manipulation too less would have made the song quite boring. I
would say this is the best song of this album...
(5) Khatija... Of course, we have to welcome Khatija Rahman's beautiful words
in the title song. What a debug for her to sing with two legends SPB and
A.R.Rahman...
(6) Javeed Ali... Manytime, when I hear a Thamizh song from a North Indian
singer... my finger automatically goes to the "Next" button. One exception was
Sahana in Sivaji. But this time, I was quite impressed by Javeed Ali's
pronunciation and singing in the Killimanjaro song. He has great voice, tempo,
energy and importantly he makes the lyrics clear and clean... As a Thamizh
lyrics lover... I was quite pleased. I welcome Javed Ali whole heartedly...
Hoping to hear many more great songs from him...
(7) Chitti Dance Showcase... This showcase piece shows the versatile skills of
ARR in one song. It has classical carnatic, rock, robotica/electronica,
symphony/orchestral sound. Everything was seemless.. Great masterpiece for the
sound and creativity in this piece....
(8) A.R.Rahman... No other music director can balance the album pulled from so
many sides. I especially admired him for singing the most difficult song..
Irumbile Oru Edhayam... Also the Kilimanjaro song has great beats and
improvisation. Hats off sir...
Few weak points...
(9) Arima arima... I felt that the tune was normal.. The orchestra and the
background instruments were quite outstanding... But the tune was very simple
and forgetable. (No offense to rahmaniac's who like this piece a lot...)
(10) Pure commercial album for the mass. All songs made mainly for the film and
to satisfy the director.
Overall, all songs are going to be stunning to watch in full screen.. A.R.R
sir accomplished his goal for this album.
Jai Ho,
Jayram
