These are only my thoughts...I am really not thrilled for Puli album. It could by all means turn out to be a great album since it features our ARRs music. However, after the huge releases and successes of Gautam-ARR and Mani-ARR albums, SJ Surya-ARR combination excites me less. This could be for the following reasons:
1. Having tastes Raavan and VTV from 2 of best music extracting directors, I have a doubt whether SJ would have surpassed these 2 (no doubt in ARR whatsoever) 2. The interest in movie is frankly low - SJ story/subject could be off track, which keeps us fans away from watching the movie with family 3. The other aspect is the scope for music in a commercial subject - like AJ was mentioning, we need earthy, accoustic, rustic, original and soul stirring tracks - which I have a feeling will not make its way in this kind of a film 4. Little to prove from ARR - Having enthralled the world with Oscars,Grammy etc... ARR has little to prove musically. That could at times mean he can take some liberty to experiment (and gauge the pulse of his fans for things to follow). This film could be his chance to experiment, and we might in the process not be in familiar territory, resulting in the music getting less accepted...(However musically they may still be superior). Don't we always want ARRs vintage interludes, killer rythms and innovative use of instruments that we are used to? For all I know, ARR is a person who takes challenges like these and turns them into stunning albums. So I am still optimistic...but expectations are low...How about yours?
