Music Review (Tamil/Telugu): NOTA

Music Review (Tamil/Telugu): NOTA
Music Composer: Sam CS


Yeththara Yeththara/ Yethikka Yethikka is loaded with techno sounds but the tune and the arrangements sound so disconnected except for the catchy title hook while Beeny Dayal's Tamil version sounds better compared to Yazin Nizar's Telugu version while Sunitha Sarathy and Swagatha S Krishna ace their respective parts effectively in Tamil and Telugu respectively. Raja Raja Kula is an easy winner from this album especially for the splendid Carnatic sargams by Swagatha S Krishnan and NithyashreeMahadevan in Tamil and Telugu while particularly loved the fusion of the female singer's vocals behind the heady techno sounds. Abhay Jodhpurkar fares well compared to the Anirudh Ravichander though he easily fits in the casual tune. The Rise of a leader and Power play sticks well with the genre of the movie underlying the monumental political drama and Macedonian Symphonic Orchestra builds up the grandeur effectively with the strings. The latter especially sounds tauter and build up the atmospheric sounds perfectly with the gloomy indispensable tone and ends with the Sekar's cello outburst. Hey Amaicha/ Hey minister is a short track which gives the nod to Rise of a leader but as overall the track falls flat and ends before making any impact. Yaar Kalikku/ yevari Paapam is another short track under two minutes with the dark grungy overtone which is apparent especially with SamCS/Sarath Santosh vocals.

Verdict: Sam CS's NOTA has very less to offer as a soundtrack, maybe the movie has huge scope for the background score.

My Rating:7/10

Pick of the Album: Raja Kula Raja, Power Play

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