Star Audio | Silambarasan's involvement in the film
"Manmadhan" other than story and screen play is obvious in the audio too. He has lent his voice for two songs, helped in
additional rhythm programming and supporting vocals. Thank God there are no Rajini styled "Intro" songs for him, though in all songs girls crave for the
"Manmadhan". Yuvan has experimented a bit in this album and has served a mix masala with techno kind songs, melodies and dappankuthu in equal proportions.
Thathai thathai- (7/10)-Silambarasan, Clinton, Vasundharadas
and Blaaze. When Simbu approached Famous Model Yanagupta for
an item number for this film. She asked them to send the audio
cassette of the song and the hero's photo before accepting the
offer. Only after seeing the photo and listening to this song,
she signed the contract. Following the footsteps of Rehman, Yuvan
has joined hands with Blaaze for the first time. Rap parts by
Blaaze greatly enhance the song but its hard to resist the feeling
like listening to Rehman's song. Right from black and white era,
our lyricists have been writing songs with "Thathai",rhyming with
"Methai" and "vithai". Here Vaali has penned the lyrics in his
usual style of intertwining english at places.
Manmadhanae-(6/10) Sadhana sargam- Being sung by Sadhana
or being a Simbu's movie, the song strongly reminds the "Chanakya"
song. It has got reasonably good lyrics by Snehan. Needless to
tell about Sadhana's tamil pronunctiation, this song gets into
the listener only after multiple listenings.
Oh mahirae -(7.5/10) Anushika from viva girls - Begininning in DJ Club mix song style, it is set in an amazing foot tapping
style. Anushika literally rips tamil into pieces by her awful pronunciation. Pa.Vijay has given some objectionable lyrics at places and this could have been avoided. Charanam parts are set in two different tunes and are enjoyable.
Vanamunna (6/10)- Shankar mahadeven, Sreeram - This is another toe tapping dappankuthu dance number with notable and comical lyrics by
Naa. Muthukmar. If the techno kinda songs are for A centre audience, this song is for the B and C.
Enn aasai mythiliye(remix from mythily ennai kadhali)(7/10)
- Simbu, Suchitra. If Yuvan remixed his father's song in
"Kurumbu" it's Simbu's turn here. Once again Pa.Vijay has written
some obscene lyrics. Other than the suiting throaty voice of Suchitra
and the bubbling tune and mood of the song, there is nothing much
to tell about this.
Kadhal valathein - KK (8.5/10)- Whichever song KK sings, becomes a hit nowadays. Undoubtedly this one is the pick of the album though it has flavour of "Poi solla" song from "April Madhathil". It has got commendable lyrics by Naa. muthumkar. KK's voice is soothing to hear and so malleable to whatever pitch he takes the song.
Though not up to the standard of Yuvan's previous album "7/G Rainbow colony", it has the proper ingredients for a masala movie album with a couple of melodies, techno sound dance numbers and dappankuthu dance numbers. Awful
pronunciation of tamil by North Indian singers should have been rectified.
