Before I start writing a review of the songs of Vetaikaran, I would like to make one thing clear. I am not a fan of Vijay and the second thing is (Ok two things) is that I have heard a lot of Vijay songs and have enjoyed a few and not enjoyed many, simply because they all sound the same.
Songs in Vetaikaran.......... What can you expect from the music album of a Vijay starrer. A lot of dhaam dhoom and danka taka danka taka. A song by song analysis...
1. Puli urumbudu
Starting off with a stanza of incomprehensible lyrics, it gives an impression of being different, but alas the danka taka star and nothing interesting after that. Sorry boss! Whoever sang this song sounded very stale.
2. Chinna Thamarai
Like many recent Vijay songs, this has some English lyrics and Tamil lyrics sounding like English. Compared to other (Vijay) songs this is melodious. But nothing interesting again.
3. Uchimandai
An typical Vijay Antony song. Danka taka again and don't even think of understanding the lyrics. Your "uchi mandai" will go surrrrrrrrr.......
4. Naan adicha
This sounds different for a change. Shankar Mahadevan rolling out another fast number. I think by protocol you are not supposed to remember a Vijay song after the movie quickly vanishes from the screens. Will be a hit and I think it is already one, but won't be remember beyond the season. A small kid sings at the last. Is Vijay's son dancing in this song? Will have to wait and see.
5. Karigalan
Vijay Antony!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What is with that rolling-of-tongue-sounds in your songs!!!! What is the chorus singing your song!!!! I think this is duet song and I can imagine Anushka in a saree shaking her hips for this and of course our Vijay shaking his head instead of dancing. Somehow the guitar piece reminds me of a old song but I am not able to place it.....
6. Chinna Thamarai II
Remix!!!!! Or has my friend added the same song twice!!!! I don't see the difference.
Final Verdict : As usual nothing interesting from Vijay's film. Vijay Antony's good fortunes may rub off on the music album and a coupla songs may top the charts thanks to Vijay fans. Otherwise not worth your time to download from the internet.
