Endhiran’s music has topped the charts and this is no surprise. A R Rahman, the genius musician had to weave magic for the Rajini – Aishwarya starrer, which also happens to be the most expensive Indian movie made till date.
Whilst all songs have a different freshness and melody, my personal favorite is Kadhal Anukkal. The song is rendered by Shreya Ghoshal and Vijay Prakash. This track has less of the ‘techno’ effect with plain strums of the guitar as the song begins. A soothing mix of the harmonica and accordion with sweet lyrics penned by Vairamuthu. This song is bound to get into the ‘evergreen duets hall of fame’.
Special kudos to both the singers. Vijay Prakash brings that naughty tone in his voice while Shreya Ghosal maintains her melodious self. Love the ‘O Baby’ bit of the song with Vijay Prakash singing alongwith the chorus. Sherya does not fail to surprise me with every rendition of a regional track. Her diction and pronunciation is her biggest strength. It is hard to believe that a Bengali girl can utter the toughest phrases in Tamil with so much ease. Her balance of pitch, flowing from low to high is mind blowing. Trust A R Rahman to bring out the best in the singers.
This song will play on my iPod for many weeks to come J
Ps : Not sure of what happened to the rumored ‘En Nilavidam’ song from Endhiran. Would have loved to see the song be part of this album. Was it an A R Rahman composition at all?
