Music Review (Tamil): Kaatrin Mozhi

Music Review (Tamil): Kaatrin Mozhi
Music Composer: AH Kaashif


Dirty Pondatti's whimsical cheesy lyrics is salvaged by AH Kaashif's wonderful mix of Goan percussions and composer employed wonderful sax solos. The arrangements are quite an easy earworm and the layering with Benny Dayal's vocals makes it an easy listen. Swagatha S Krishnan ably supports the song towards the end with her whispery rendition.Po Urave's arrangements have quite an uncanny shade of AR Rahman especially with the gloomy flute in the prelude and towards the end with a perfect jugalbandi with string sections. The song rides mainly on the Sid Sriram's towering vocals and the arrangements, however, the tune is pretty much an average one from the composer. Though the song doesn't match up to the Hindi equivalent Rafu, flute solos kept the listeners engaging till it lasts.

Kelambittale is a fun song from the composer and equivalent to Manva likes to fly from the original. Composer kept the buoyant mood of the song comparable to Hindi version and Kaashif throws in brilliant Nadhaswaram and Thavil solos. Nakul Abhyankar ably delivers the song with adequate fervour.Rekkai Thulirtha's initial staccato singing doesn't work but Jonitha Gandhi owns the ebullient song in the remaining portions while the composer kept the arrangements simple and complements the mood of the tune especially with the flute solo adorning throughout the song.

Verdict: AH Kaashif makes the satisfactory Kollywood debut with the light-hearted movie and though the album lacks the standout song, the feel-good tracks should go well with the movie

My Rating: 7/10

Pick of the Album: Kelambittale, Dirty Pondatti

P.S You can listen to the songs in Saavn.
