Jyo's comeback is one of the most anticipated movies of this year. Remade from Mollywood's 'How Old Are You', here's the first glimpse of '36 Vayadhinile' making sound impression in Santhosh Narayanan's tunes.
1. Happy - Naalu Kazhudha Listen here
Voice: Santhosh Narayanan
Lyrics: Vivek
Age is just a number, and growing old does not mean nearing the end. Life is meant to be enjoyed in its truest sense. This Kolly's very own Happy Song sings all praise for letting it go and living light, without the fear of end or aging. The deep voice in the song is supported by rhythmic beats and extensive usage of keys. Occasional female chorus alongside the male voice add pep to the song. With quirky lyrics that actually make sense real time, the first track of this album is a sure win.
2. Pogiren Listen here
Voice: Kalphana Ragavendar
Lyrics: Vivek
This track is an inspiring number. The song speaks of reinvention of a woman, by means of finding her purpose in life. This discovery sets her spirits free and rising high, as aptly symbolised by the rising orchestra that forms the primary background for this song. What seems like a simple tune to listen to, actually has a lot of crests and troughs that the woman traverses effortlessly. Lyrics are simple and poetic, yet carry deep meaning in empowerment and rediscovery of one's self.
3. Rasathi Listen here
Voice: Lalitha Vijaykumar
Lyrics: Vivek
'Rasathi' is a track to acknowledge women's freedom. Long gone are the days that caged women and stereotyped them. This song unleashes the ties, wanting a woman to break free of prejudice and society's stigma. Choice of words are endearing and kind, sung in a bold and confident earthen voice. This number uses keys, trumpets, tabla, violins and guitar for a soothing and refreshing experience. No wonder, Karthi dearly dedicated this song to his daughter!
Original Score Tracks: Listen here
The album has five OSTs, all of them composed in classic orchestra. 'President' is complete with the majesty of the title, using trumpets, piano and a variety of violins. 'Kannadi' is a soulful number entirely rendered in violin, backed by piano and bass. 'Vidiyal Thedi' and 'Kanavugal Sumandhu' are both refreshing tunes in their own special ways; both of these tracks leave a lasting impact of inspiration. The last one in line, 'Kanneer Mozhi' is a moving tune that touches your soul.
Complete with the karaoke for the three songs, '36 Vayadhinile' is yet another master piece from Santhosh Narayanan. Wait no more to dive into beautiful music!
Rating: 2.75/5 - Soulful
