Music Review (Tamil): Darbar
Music Composer: Anirudh Ravichander
If Marana Mass from Petta is an extension to Raman Aandalum Ravanan Aandalum, then Chumma Kizhi turns out to be an inspiration from Thani Koda Eduthu. But the song didn't work despite SPB's singing and the song lacks a punch required for a Rajini introduction soundtrack. The percussion-heavy track falls further flat with the Vivek's uninspirational lyrics. Tharam Maara single is in lines with Ullaala from Petta and the Goan rhythm is engaging and breaths a fresh air until Vivek's lyrics dampens down the proceedings. Anirudh's earnest singing for the colloquial random lyrics makes this one a listenable one from the album. Dumm Dumm tune meanders without any instant catchy factor attached with the song. However, Anirudh shines in the resonant arrangements in the interludes especially the violin bits while Nakash Aziz infuses much energy required for the celebratory song with his vocals. Overall, though the song sounds enjoyable until it lasts, definitely not a memorable one.
After Katravai Patravai in Kaala, Yogi B comes back for another Rajini song Thani Vazhi and the fans of the singer may like this song but the track comes off as a random hodgepodge of sounds which doesn't cohesively build up into an enjoyable song. The only exciting aspect of the song is the suspenseful prelude around which the song is conceived. Thalaivar theme which is high on percussion falls flat without much to offer while similar to Petta Villain theme is much exciting one. Though the track sounds like an extension to Singaram Theme from Petta, the haunting and sinister effect created from mostly the strings is engaging stuff from the composer.
Verdict: Darbar is an unentertaining Rajini soundtrack. Anirudh struggles hard to deliver the mass album which he did it to some extent in Petta.
My Rating: 6.5/10
Pick of the Album: Tharam Maara Single, Villain Theme
