Music Review (Tamil): Aan Devathai

Music Review (Tamil): Aan Devathai
Music Composer: Ghibran

NigaraThan Nigara is easily identifiable as Ghibran's musical with the wonderful layering in the arrangements and the haunting ode to fatherhood makes this one an instantly lovable song. The sprawling interludes with wonderful Subramanium's veenai solos along with Vineeth Srinivasan's brilliant rendition easily come as the best song in the soundtrack. In Malarin Narumananm, Ghibran plays along with his well known Muslim song rhythm and though the tune has the very familiar vibe, the track is a soothing listen from the composer. Riyaz, Yazin Nizar and Aravind Srinivas excel in crooning the Kaviko Abdul Rahman's verses about communal harmony.  Ghibran easily churned out another winner in Pesugindren Pesugindren and once again the composer steals the show with his stunning arrangements. The mild techno rhythms tags along with Balaji's soulful violin bits in the interludes. On top of all the awesomeness in the track, Chaitra Ambadipudi debuts in her first Tamil track and she aces the rendition as always. The only track which sounds like a misplaced one in the album is Rottu Kadai Party where Ghibran tries his luck with kuthu but the track is hardly an engaging one despite the adequate vocals by Gold Devaraj and Jacqueline Mary. Ghibran ends the soundtrack with the soulful theme track where Balaji's violin evocates the emotions perfectly and the niche touch in the ending makes one hit the repeat button.

Verdict: Aan Devathai is another short soundtrack from Ghibran but the composer continues to showcase his brilliance and churns out another winner irrespective of the scope for the music in the movie.

My Rating: 8/10
