Dhanam is an interesting sound track. It has the usual ambient ,soft melodies typical of 80s, with some relatively zingy orchestration. It is still short of expectations, but considering that i expected a low profile sound track from this movie, im kind of happy.
Esp the song katilukku – if you compare a very similar song in 90s in kumbakonam Gopalu , the same song would have been fast forward now , its not so in this case. The orchestration quite similar to kanave kalai kirathe ( yuvan , azhagai irukirathu …) and that makes it very different and enjoyable too. But raaja doesn’t give the same treatment to ulagam kidakkuththu , a boring 90s raaja song.
Dhanam Dhanam , Kooththu onnu are more than passable songs , with bits and pieces of orchestration and rythm making it wholly entertaining.
Illamai Kanavugal ,unakkul irukinren , kannanukku enna – all of them have a neat melody, effervesce orchestration , archaic phaselets , raaja stamp at various levels , but overall it is nice.
Good thing that i never hit the >> button in my player once in this sound track ! But Raaja sir , please give more , we want to hit the << button often !!
Title - Whats that ?
