The magic of Alai Payuthe with two additional gems in Banjar Hai nad
Naina Milaike makes this soundtrack one of the most complete and
"meaty" soundtracks by Rahman. Music was a hit, movie was a hit.
Rahman scores some of his best work for romantic films with good
directors. Hope he scores music for more romantic films in the future
with notable directors like Shaad Ali. And what an amazing sound
quality this soundtrack has! So crisp, clean, tremendous surround
sound effects. I am missing that type of sound from Rahman's most
recent efforts, where there is more of a "crowded" feel to the
arrangements....missing the soft warm pads, crisp ghungrus, bells,
claps......where each sound would stand out and hit you. This was
brought to my attention fully by a good friend and another devoted
Rahman fan from this group.
