Gautham Menon's new film with A.R Rahman as the composer... who wouldn't be excited? When the first single of the film "Thalli Pogathey" came out in January, we were all hoping to hear more from this album. Initially, the album was going to be released in February, but it kept on being delayed. After releasing another single "Rasaali" in May, the album was finally released on June 17th.
It contains five songs. Each song is mesmerizing, be it the music, lyrics or the soulful singing. I always believe that A.R Rahman always goes deep into the atmosphere and theme of the film, and this time he does the same!
1) Showkaali
This is the first song on the album. As soon as it starts, your mind is awake. For four minutes and 39 seconds, a song full of continous rap, Aaryan Dinesh Kanagaratnam does a tremendous job. I didn't want the song to end.
2) Idhu Naal
This is a wonderfully composed heart-touching romantic song! I love the scale changes! Aditya Rao and Jonita Gandhi sing it beautifully!
3) Rasaali
This song is a masterpiece! It is very soothing and mesmerizing! Words don't do justice to the composition and lyrics because they are wonderful! I love the classical touch in this song! Sathyaprakash Dharmar and Shaasha Thirupathi sung it so beautifully! This is my pick of the album!
4) Avalum Naanum
Another masterpiece! Very soothing song! It makes you feel so calm and relaxed! Just like his father, Vijay Yesudas sang it very soulfully! The lyrics are so beautiful! My second pick of the album!
5) Thalli Pogathey
This is the first single of the album, a song that I could keep listening on loop, even now! It is very catchy and addictive! Sid Sriram's voice is amazing, and the Aaryan Dinesh Kanagaratnam's amazing rapping and humming by Aparna Narayanan makes the song even better!
Most people keep saying that they miss A.R Rahman's 90's songs and they were much better. But I can say that this album will give you the same feeling as his 90's music! It's fresh, just like most A.R Rahman albums!
After being disappointed by his previous album "24" earlier this year, he's back with a bang with "Achcham Yenbadhu Madamiyada"! So please do listen to this album!
My Rating:- 3.5/5
