Weekly Earworm (09/10/2020)

 



Pratyasha (Malayalam): Idapally Ajith Kumar & Sreevalsan J Menon: Idapally Ajith Kumar concocts the gloomy classical tune backed by Sreevalsan J Menon's minimal serene arrangements for Pratyasha works marvelously. Looks like Idapally Ajith Kumar collaborates with Sreevalsan J Menon earlier in almost 7 albums and has to give it a listen. Bini Panicker aces the rendition with her punchy vocals.

Saajan Bakery Since 1962 (Malayalam): Prashant Pillai: Eeran Kannil: Prashant Pillai easily delivers in this lovely soundtrack filled with pleasant melodies. Eeran Kannil rides mainly on Harisankar's brilliant rendition while Prashant Pillai's unconventional tune which drifts unexpectedly but makes it a wonderful listen.

Dhruva Natchathiram (Tamil): Harris Jayaraj: Oru Manam: It's a Harris Jayaraj song, so apart from the usual complaints aside, the tune is immensely enjoyable and it turns much better with Shashaa Tirupati's vocals. Harris's guitar-laden arrangements are his usual signature style but propped up by Kishore's Sitar and  Kamalakhar's flute sections. 

Doodi (Tamil): KC Balasarangan: Ragasiya Kaadhalane: Though the meaning for the movie title is not clear, Balasarangan delivers enjoyable melody and all thanks to Ashita Ajit's vocals. The composer kept the arrangements minimal riding mainly on the lovely tune and the singer which works effortlessly.

Nishabdham (Telugu): Gopi Sundar: Madhuramithe: Gopi Sundar's Nishabdham soundtrack is largely underwhelming similar to the movie, but the composer scores exceptionally in this stunning melody with Harini backing him with her effortless rendition. The violin solos in the arrangements are commendable and it's a delight to listen to Harini vocals as always.

Putham Pudhu Kaalai (Tamil): GV Prakash Kumar and Govind Vasantha: Kanna Thoodhu Po da, Oho Endhan Baby: The soundtrack highlight is definitely Govind Vasantha's classical song Kanna Thoodhu Poda and one wishes that Gautham Menon works for his next feature film with Govind Vasantha. Bombay Jayashree's splendid vocals and Karky's line make this tune much better. Among the other fun tracks composed by GV Prakash, Oho Endhan Baby easily scores over others for the funky tone and Bhavani Sri's vocals along with SPB Charan.

The songs are available as a playlist in Youtube.
