Music Review (Tamil): Petta
Music Composer: Anirudh
Marana Mass is the unlikeliest Rajini intro song and the track is strictly in Anirudh's zone. The tune is undeniably catchy one bordering on the Pothuvaaga En Manasu Thangam and the only grouse is SPB is relegated to just 20 seconds. The bass and the brass sections are super catchy and Anirudh delivers easily the cracker of a song for Rajini. Petta theme's obsessive and spooky sound is dominated by wonderful brass and screeching guitar sections. The theme has enough spark to excite the visuals and the track reaches crescendo towards the end with the relaxing tune structure. Ilamai Thirumbudhe rides well on the acoustic guitar and keys but the tune is pretty average while Anirudh's singing doesn't help the lacklustre tune. Madura Pettah with its loud local sound needs visuals to pop up. Petta Paraak's hard rock tune is sure to crack up the Rajini's fans and the screeching guitars are enough to make the fans crazy despite the functional tune from Anirudh.
Singaar Singh is the most interesting instrumental and loved the way Anirudh mixed the percussions and brought out gloomy overtone to the instrumental with the rhythm structure with occasional clank sounds. Aaha Kalyanam is totally Anthony Daasan's show aided by Karthik's colloquial lyrics and the song provides enough fun till it lasts. Jithu theme also carries the brooding tone, however with the brilliant mandolin and percussion combo. Ullaalla is another super catchy Goan flavoured track from Anirudh while Nakash Aziz and Inno Genga deliver ebulliently especially loved the Nakash's casual singing. Anirudh does wonders in the arrangements lead by trumpet and though it sounds off key at some places. Kaali theme which featured in the trailer but it didn't work for me and may be with visuals it may blend well. Anirudh roped in Sarwar Khan and Sartaj Khan who crooned Haanikarak Baapu in Dangal and Anirudh brilliantly made them deliver local kuthu while filling the background with the wonderful layer of Sarangi apart from the obvious punchy percussions.
Verdict: After Santosh Narayanan, Anirudh delivers most un-Rajini soundtrack and though the album as a whole doesn't work as expected, due credit must be given to Anirudh for conceiving these tunes for Rajini movie.
My Rating: 7.5/10
Pick of the Album: Ullaalla, Marana Mass, Singaar Singh, Thappad Maara
P.S You can listen to the songs in Youtube.
