Music Review (Tamil): Saamy Square
Music Composer: DeviSri Prasad
Athiroobaney is the more mellowed version of DSP's usual tune with the tinge of Harris to the proceedings especially in the interludes strings section by Chennai Strings which gives a nod to Ival Ulaga Azhagiya. Nevertheless, the song is a beautiful and enjoyable listen in the vocals of M M Manasi and Viveka's lyrics. Punya Srinivas owns the second interlude with the lovely Veena solo caressed by Nathan's sax in the Charanam. Molagapodiye is a passable folk song but the catchiness factor is missing despite the effectual vocals by Sanjith Hegde and Rita. The undeniable highlight in the song is the usage of Banjo in the second interlude which gives the much necessary high to the song which otherwise is a perfunctory casual song fails to reach the high of Kalyanam thaan from the Saamy.
Darnaka with its absurd lyrics in the prelude doesn't start off in a promising note and the song further descends into highly annoying templated song combined with the silly lyrics doesn't help the song in any manner. Anthony Daasan and Benny Dayal's energetic rendition alone cannot salvage this kuthu track.The lyrics get much worse with the Puthu metro Rail and the DSP's stock tune continues to be an appalling listen. DSP made auto tuned Vikram and Keerthy Suresh's vocals presentable but the song fails to elevate from the mediocre level especially because of the passable lyrics and perfunctory tune. The soundtrack ends on a positive note with the melancholy number Amma Amma which works considerably better than the other songs in the soundtrack. The tune gets benefit from the serene minimal composition and earnest rendition by ever-reliable Karthik. DSP kept the arrangements neat and simple to accentuate the tone of the song.
Verdict: DSP scores in two melodies and the remaining tracks are completely forgettable affair from the composer. The soundtrack falls light year away from the memorable hit soundtrack provided by Harris for its prequel.
My Rating: 6.5/10
Pick of the Album: Adhiroobaney, Amma Amma
