Rajeev Menon - A R Rahman - Kalaipuli S Dhanu -Vairamuthu - Mammotty - Ajith -
Aishwarya Rai - Tabu - K J Yesudas - Chitra - Sadhana Sargam -Hariharan -
Shankar Mahadevan etc etc.....phew!!!!
The above mentioned names are certainly "Bell Ringing"..!! Easily
one of the best team, a movie could boast of...!! Kandukondein Kandukondein
(KK) made big headlines both pre release and post release mainly because of its
team and also the subject. It was well received all over country by including
the subtitles of dialogues for the northern audiences..!!
Set in the rural backdrop in its first half and later transition to the
city, KK makes a decent attempt in showing the journey of a family led by all
females..!! Tabu and Aishwarya Rai both look extreemly beautiful and naive even
though they dont belong to this part of the world..!! What to say about
ARR..??? Its his forte'...he has just jumped into this sea and swam to become
an ultimate winner..!!!
Yenna Solla Poghirai ---> Shankar Mahadevan
A song which is adored in equal proportions by the mass and the
class..!!! This song doesnt need anyone to listen infinite times to like
it...just one hear is enough and you will be immersed in this sea of joy.! A
Spot ON selection of singer: Shankar ji..!! His high pitch rendition pours in
so much of pleasure to the ears.!! A perfect location : Egypt with pyramid
backdrop..! Tabu and Ajith emote very well. The composition by ARR and lyrics
are above par excellence..!!
Smiyai Yaay ---> Devan , Dominique Cerejo
Another song picturised on Ajith and Tabu...this time
along with Pooja Batra. A very peppy song suited perfectly to Devan. But
unfortunately, didnt go too well with the listeners. Dominque Cerejo makes a
very minute humming here and there. But i like this song personally, its a nice
fast paced track.!! The interludes music is so very nice.
Kandukonden Kandukonden --> Hariharan, Mahalaxmi Iyer
The two husky voiced singers unite here to create a
magic and take the extra ordinary composition to one more step further.
Mahalaxmi tries with many of her dynamics in rendering the two
words."Kandukonden Kandukonden"..!!! The compostion is highly stupendous and
haunting! A perfect lovey dovey song by ARR..
Suttum Vizhi Choodarthaan --> Hariharan
Many poeple, who were firm minded that rejuvenation of the
greatest old poetries are a taboo, turned topsy-turvy when ARR came up with
this short piece of the greatest saint poet Thiruvalluvar's poetry!! ARR
silenced all the critics and nobody raised any sorts of questions when his
version came out soo mindblowingly from the voice of Hariharan. Only his voice
and the tune formation will take the biggest credits from this song.! A
masterpiece adaptation by ARR...!!!
Konjum Mainakkale ---> Sadhana Sargam
A typical heroine introduction song, any heroine can dream
of..!! Aishwarya is double lucky to have got such songs in her career.(Also
Barso Re Megha..later in Guru!!) . Sadhana Sargam comes out with flying colors
with her flawless tamil dictions and great rendition. Mindblowing picturisation
and awesome cinematography makes this song double sweet. Rahman just so
casually belts out this melody..!!
Engae Enadhu Kavithai ---> Chitra , Srinivas
Yet another patho melody by the maestro..!! Chitra belts out
this number oozing out her emotions of a broken love affair. Srinivas forms an
integral part of the chorus. Hats off to Rahman and Chitra together for making
this song soo very beautiful even though it has strong shades of tragedy . Only
Chitra could have done full justice to this song. Her second stanza(charanam)
is soo mesmerising when she goes an all time high in "kekkudheeee......".
Kannamoochhi Enada --> Chitra (Solo) / K J Yesudas , Chitra (Duet)
This is my personal pick of the album.! One of the most
memorable song in this lifetime.! This song gets the best of the best treatment
in all the areas..!! While Chitra's solo version is like a honey treat to the
listeners, the duet version with Yesudas is like enjoying music at its best..!!
Based on a carnatic raaga, the tune makes a lullaby for your sleep too..!! Both
Chitra and Yesudas, being the thespians in filmi classicals, enthrall
effortlessly..!!
The BGM's of this movie also need a special mention, because it blends the
classical and pop style in a very efficient way. Particularly, the Nithyashree
Mahadevan's swara recitals in the scene where Aishwarya goes for classical
trainings..!!!
In all...KK music album is musicians and music lover's delight and
pride....!!! ARR should have bestowed upon all the available awards for this
album alone... :)
