Shivaji album focuses on Rajni’s charisma The audio is out and the verdict as well. Super Star’s Rajnikanth’s Shivaji directed by Shankar contains songs written by top tamil film composers which eulogises the film persona and charisma of the Super Star than relating to the character he plays in the film. In short, these lyrics are penned with Rajni’s charisma in mind and does not in any way compare to the lyrics written for other films directed by Shankar which revolved more around the film and its story content. And the verdict is: it is a sure fire hit with Rajni fans.
The audio of Shivaji was officially out on April 2. Though three songs of the film were released through some websites in an unauthorised manner, there was a great demand for the cassettes and CDs of the film. And all the songs of the film seems to have been liked by Rajni fans who look for songs that eulogises his personality and charisma. And A R Rehman’s music compositions have also done wonders in creating the right magic for the album. Take the case of Oru Koodal Sunlight number. The lyrics of the song have been written by lyricist P Vijay keeping Rajni’s mannerisms and styles in mind. And Vijay creates a new phrase to describe the Rajni persona. He is ‘Heeraththil Hero’. You can draw your own conclusions as heera means diamond. It looks like Rajnikanth wants to echo his own feelings in the song written by Na Muthukumar. The foot tapping number Balleilakka song rendered by SPB reminds you of Rehman’s earlier song composition ‘Veerapandi Kottayile’ in Thiruda Thiruda . After eulogising the Tamil and Tamilian, the lyricist goes ga ga in describing the super star. He is called as Shiva, the destroyer, Sun and Moon and what not. He can also turn Tamil Nadu into America, says the lyrics which is intended to satisfy the large section of Rajni fans who want him to make an entry in to politics. (Annan Vandha Tamil Nadu America). Another song by Na Muthukumar has this punch line which describes the Rajini as a person who can gobble up a lion like a jalebi. And there is also another punchline; “Sachin adicha sixer thaan da, Sivaji adicha puncher thaan da.” Veteran writers Vairamuththu and Vaali have also written lyrics for the film. Vairamuthu’s song Sahana has all the ingredients to become a chart buster and even a highly impressed Rajnikanth has congratulated Vyramuththu. Veteran Vaali’s lyrics for his song may well look like a song written by an enthusiastic Rajni fan of 20. The song has lyrics that is made up of film titles of Rajnikanth starrers.
