Valibame Va Music Review

Valibame Va Music Review [2010]
Banner: Jothi Films Cast: Kiran & Karthik
Direction: Narasimha
Production: S.Gowri Shankar
Music: Saketh Sairam
Lyricis: Pregalathan, J.S.Gowthaman & Kalyanraj
Ilamai Senthurame... naturally pleasant and likeable outdated tune  
Maradi Meyil... , charming tune affliated with(latino) interludes  
Nadakuthu Nanthavanam...lyrics imaginatively groovy, Old style music  
Kathal Enpathu.... (1:03) A pitiful saga   
Kaniyile Sikekechu... (1:08min) should be a savior although short, yet simple .GAGA lyrics.  
Muthu Mani Malai... goes repetitively overboard with repetitive phrases   
Nenjame Megame...A lullaby definitely, completely a lay waste..  
Out of 7 songs in this album the composer shines if not typically in merely 2 tracks..A complete let down by SAKETH  SAIRAM

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The album starts off reasonably well with Madhura Madhura... , although predictable Srikanth Deva Kuthu stuff and his take on Madurai( famous for Malli , meenakashi temple,Tamil and their lifestyle)

Rathiye.. fairly catchy and decent & that is a lot to say…

Enna Thavam...Composer Deva doesn’t strain himself ,seems like the song has been ripped of from an old devotional album.

Jagar Thanda.... completely outdated due to the standard sound, utterly boring

Uthama Putherane... K.J.Jesudas voice is wrapped up in 80’s grieve tune

 Porane.... Suprisingly decent , melody number devoid of gaana element

Aandi Padi... Loud backgrounds’ and hero style lyrics that seems to be worshipping mediocrity

Srikanth Deva is simply a phenomenon no two thoughts about that.. still baffles every one (how he gets so many projects)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chikku Bhukku:  a curious blend of Colonial Cousins Euphoria, predominantly youthful feel, chirpy and very rock’ish .

Oru Nila: A folksy start, progressing gradually with stereotype music .Has an earthy feel
…
Zara Zara: Leslie’s guitar makes this number a good listen. Typical trademark of colonial cousins

Smile: A Latino-fused Soul-style tune in this soundtrack seems very appealing. Mild instruments in the background give soothing effect …

 Thooral Nindralum: Ghazal soaked lyrics blended well with Hindustani musical instruments with HARIHARN’S vocals add ethnic feel. Mildly tweaked sound

Vizhi Oru Paadhi: A mildly mocking track with sparkling backgrounds.

Adi Saarale: A lilting track, starts blissfully serene and escalates gradually

Colonial Cousins  Chikku Bhukku is emphatically a thumbs up .
