Kadal Background Score

I totally loved Kadal. I am still thinking about the film. A.R.Rahman’s songs and background score is key to the film. Fabulously gels with the film. I have posted some voiceless cues from the film here. There are many amazing pieces in the score of the film, but most of them have dialogues over it and they may spoil the film for those who haven’t seen them yet. I can’t wait for the DVD to rip the background score cues in voiceless in High Quality.

No spoilers here except Cue 4, which has a minor spoiler.

Cue 1 – A key theme of the film. You have to watch the film to believe how magnificently the theme evokes all the varied emotions that it has to in the particular scene that it is used on in the film.

Cue 2 – One of the uplifting moments of the film. Rajeev Menon and A.R.Rahman create magic here. Exhilarating! It is a must watch on big screen just for this moment.

Cue 3 – Cute little theme that goes perfectly with the chirpy and childish Beatrice.

Cue 4 – A soothing solo accordion. Again a key scene. Sorry, there could be a slight spoiler here.

Cue 5 – Why Magudi is the best used song *in* the film. That Chinmayi’s voice over totally makes sense after watching the film. Also, choosing the chorus section of Anbin Vaasalae for one of the most touching scenes – Master Stroke.

At this juncture, when A.R.Rahman is winning all possible American awards and nominations for his score in ‘Slumdog Millionaire’, here I present a small celebration of his music in the form of a musical collage comprising some of his famous and beautiful movie themes. I want to post more on Rahman’s background scores in this blog in coming weeks, to keep the ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ fever alive. And ofcourse, as always you can guess the movie names of these 21 themes and check your Rahman quotient. Extended version of each of these themes will be posted separately later.
