'Trisha Illana Nayanthara'-Audio review
Cast: GV Prakash,Anandhi,VTV Ganesh,Manisha
Music: GV Prakash
Direction: Adhik Ravichandran
Album Analysis:
Bittu Padam Di
Singers: GV Prakash, Adhik Ravichandran
‘Bittu Padam Di’ is loud & crass right from the beginning. With lyrics crossing the decency mark, the song does not have much to take home musically either. Give it a miss!
Mutham Kodutha
Singers: Yuvan Shankar Raja
The much expected GV-YSR number! With a peppy tune & foot-tapping arrangements, ‘Mutham Kodutha’ easily becomes the best song of the album. The prelude is taken straight out of Ilayaraja’s Sigappu Rojakkal title music. The synthesizer ridden interludes gel well with the mood of the track. Album’s best!
Rain Dance Theme
‘Rain Dance Theme’ has typical GV elements where he uses bagpipe much like the way he used it in ‘Thalaivaa’. The tune repeats itself for the second time as the track proceeds but still makes up for an endearing listen.
Yennachu Yedhachu
Singers: GV Prakash, Saindhavi,Kalyani Pradeep
Yennachu Yedhachu marks GV Prakash going to his stronger suit – melodies. The GV Prakash- Saindhavi combination has always delivered in the past & doesn’t fail here too. Although the track and arrangements has an endearing attribute to it, the song does try to ape ‘Vennilave Vennilave’ in some places. A good listen though!
Dakalti
Singers: Andrea,Gaana Bala,Anthony Dasan
‘Dakalti’ is a jugalbandhi with part English- part local lyrics. But somewhere, the two segments don’t gel well to make the track memorable. Andrea does a great job behind the microphones as usual and saves a jaded tune.
Trisha Illana Nayanthara
Singers: Pushpavanam Kuppusamy, Arunraja Kamaraj
The title track is modeled akin to the Bhajan songs that we hear in temples. The idea behind such a song supported by quirky lyrics is appreciable. But, the execution falls short of what might have been an enjoyable listen.
On the whole, ‘Trisha Illana Nayanthara’ marks a change in style for GV Prakash who has gone experimental. With tracks like ‘Mutham Kodutha’ & ‘Rain Dance’, GV does well but invariably falls short in the remaining tracks.
Picks from the album: Mutham Kodutha, Yennachu Yedhachu, Rain Dance Theme
Album Verdict: A change in style is evident from GV but is only half fruitful!
