His Passion brings to him Fame, not his intention, and this is a sign of greatness. We are proud of Him, and expecting more Good Music from him.Ayush Chandrahttp://www.musicbell.info/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2995232424873037966.post-55781145077763684162015-04-18T01:02:49.363-07:002015-04-18T01:02:49.363-07:00Haven't heard the telegu versions yet.
Every l...Haven't heard the telegu versions yet.<br />Every line of your review, except for this bit, is exactly how I felt/feel about this soundtrack.<br />The goosebumps in Parandhu Sella Va, the serenity of Malargal, the carnatic portions in Theera Ula, the switch between male and female versions of Mental Manadhil, the inability to find exactly what it is about Naane Varugiren and the MASSIVE disappointment that aatakaara spirals into after that ecstatic start.<br /> ALL OF IT.<br />Also, Theera Ula should come with a warning- to not be listened while biking. Very dangerous.R.Balamuruganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07711259560374544816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2995232424873037966.post-46461691735551932842015-04-13T06:32:52.945-07:002015-04-13T06:32:52.945-07:00I don't know if I would have enjoyed Parandhu ...I don't know if I would have enjoyed Parandhu Sella Vaa as much without reading your incredible description!

I can’t deny feeling disappointed when the song quickly turned to Tamil rap, because I was so hooked to the Kaara Aatakkaara section when the first teaser of the movie broke out with it, and I have been eagerly waiting to hear what comes after that."<br /><br />Amen, same exact thoughts here. Overall, I am disappointed with the album. Never felt this way about "I" or even "Lingaa". Certainly not good enough for a Maniratnam film. Proves Rahman is also human after all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2995232424873037966.post-90363653374484447512015-04-09T02:55:11.077-07:002015-04-09T02:55:11.077-07:00You just put words to all the mixed feelings I was...You just put words to all the mixed feelings I was having while listening to the soundtrack of OK Kanmani. The very next day after the album released, the internet was flooded with reviews of the album, and I was like, "Have these guys even heard all the songs yet?"<br />It took me a day or two to move from Kaara Aatakkaaraa to Aye Sinamika.<br />And you have taken your time, savoured each song, and then put them into words. And it shows just as beautifully.<br />sandeep18marchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02643833334615698808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2995232424873037966.post-35386986544949621842015-04-08T23:11:31.230-07:002015-04-08T23:11:31.230-07:00Santosh Kumar - Thank you.

I am buying them once they are on iTunes. It is true, what words does to a melody, and for a fanatic of instrumental music is general, songs like these are a jolt. Another proof that one should try all versions of Rahman's songs at least, you never know what you are going to get. I really liked Kannada Version of Godfather songs better.P.S.

I have said it before and will say it again, PS, your reviews are testament to your skills, patience, ear for good (beyond the obvious) and respect for the work that makers painstakingly create. <br /><br />Your review is as "light" as the album you say it describes. Light, but with weight where there needs to be some. Heavy, with enough "light" where it needs to be so. If anticipation and savoring of a Rahman album is one thing, sharing the communal experience with folks like you is on another level.<br /><br />Elsewhere I asked Shasank Nagavarapu, and Baradwaj Rangan but in vain. I ask again here. The opening lines of <i> Malargal Kaettaen </i>: <i> bhaja govindam </i>, or <i> vaishnava janato </i>?<br /><br />To me Rahman's entry at the end of <i>Malargal</i> is about the tone, the texture, the slightest of grain that one gets, say, after a deep sleep. Add to that a hint of nasal quality. It's the mixture, and it's maddening.<br /><br />"…<i>what inherent musicality of a language does to a melody</i>…" this is "exactly" what i described a few days ago to my non-Telugu speaking wife. I have been listening to it for years now and of late i play "<i>Hello Guru Premakosame</i>" from Nirnayam (1991) a lot on my car stereo. <br /><br />I never understood what was at play upon the arrival of the following lines <br /><i> kattukunte ninne tappa kattukone kattukonu<br />ottu pettukuntinamma..bettu cheyyake..<br />allibilli gaaradeelu chellavinka chinnadaana..<br />allukove nannu neevu malle teegala </i><br /><br />I have realized it's the inherent rhythm and bounce in the letters (in "every single" word except in two; <i>gaaradeelu</i> and <i>neevu</i>) themselves (we call it <i>otthulu</i> in Telugu) that was adding to the trademark drum rhythm by Ilaiyaraaja. Cherry on the cake! :)<br /><br />The beauty Sirivennela S Sastry brings to the Telugu versions of <i>Aye Sinamika, Malargal, Paranthu Sellava</i>, and even an exotic <i>Theera Ula</i> — while maintaining the native integrity of the original and visual sync— is beyond words.Santosh Kumar T Khttp://madness-of-madras.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.com
