1. Puthiya Manidha – Sung by SPB and accompanied by Khadeeja Rahman( ARR’s daughter) and ARR himself
Something unexpected from AR Rahman (of course, in a good way) for a movie which have Rajni Kanth and Shankar. Nice rendition by both SPB and Khadeeja. i loved the chorus part (puthiya manidhan part) most 90’s ARR is back I am addicted to this song now …dont miss this song! i think this is an experimental track… so not sure how massive it’ll become
2. Kadhal Anukkal – sung by Vijay Prakash and Shreay Ghosal
My third favorite..nice rendition by Vijay parakash..Vijay is too good in this song o Second interlude is my favorite.. Shreya sounds usual..nothing special..
3. Irumbile Oru Hridhayam – sung by AR Rahman – Rap by Kash n Krissy
Its a kind of song which AR rahman never tried before especially by singing.. o Starting slightly remind me ‘Fanaa’ track from Yuva..but ‘Irumbhil’ is more fun song than ‘Fanaa’ (but ‘fanaa’ is far better than this track’)…. At some points it remind me ‘The Black Eyed Peas’ especially the interlude rap part!
4. Chitti Dance Showcase – sung by pradeep vijay,praveen mani and yogi B….
Another ‘Liquid Dance’ type song… ARR done better instrumental than this..
5. Arima Arima – sung by Hariharan and sadhana sargam
Everything in this song is just amazing, be it hariharan or sadhana or powerful chorus and background music… Again 90’s ARR for you o My second favorite…starting trumpets sound is just amazing
6. Kilimanjaro – sung by Chinmayi and Javed Ali
This was the track which leaked in YouTube some months back. Shot in Peru.. o Again 90’s ARR touch… be it rahmanisq beats, or the weird sound and vocal… o Loved the arrangements and vocal especially chinamyee’s funny rendition .. o and dont miss the old arr style interludes ..especially second interlude…..Lengthier….It may be sound better if its just 3 min..
7. Boom Boom Robot Da sung by Yogi B, kirthi,swetha,tanvi
Average song..mmm .. Yogi B is just wasted… i dont know why he sound soft…i always loved his louder rendition..thats what made him popular..that Yogi B is missing in this song. o contains samples from ‘thigu thigu’ from ‘Aah Aah’, but original is far better
THIS ALBUM MAY TAKE SOME TIME TO GET IN TO THE PEOPLE AS RAHMAN TRIED SOMETHING DIFFERENT MUSIC IN ELECTRONIC GENRE WHICH WE DON’T FIND IN NORMAL INDIAN MOVIES
ROCK-A-HOLICS RATING : 3.5/5
