Music Composer: Pradeep Kumar
Suzhalum Iravil is a quintessential Pradeep Kumar number with the sprawling soundscape propped up by haunting melody. The unconventional tune is backed up mainly by Pradeep's acoustic guitar but the effect it produces on the listener is unrivaled. The sparsely mixed Geoffrey Nielson's trombone and backing vocals add a dark tone to the song. In Izhupari Aattam, Pradeep Kumar extends Geoffrey Nielson's trombone solo from Suzhalum Iravil and concocts another sinister song. Sean Roldan's sonorous voice perfectly fits the bill while the screeching violin in the interlude works effectively. Yaar dhaan Kandaaro is perfect for hardcore rock fans especially with the grungy vocals of Sivam while Bharath Sankar of Aadai fame handles the drums quite effectually. Suzhalum Iravil comes in Orchestral version performed by Kalyani Nair and sung by Shakthishree Gopalan. Though the dark tone of the song comes off better in the original version, Shakthishree's vocal is enough to create the magic even though string sections overshadows the vocals in certain places.
Verdict: Pradeep Kumar delivers the morose haunting soundtrack for Andhaghaaram and perfectly in sync with the movie's tone. One wishes that Pradeep Kumar gets to compose more.
My Rating: 8/10
