Neethaane En Ponvasantham music review
Neethane Enthan Ponvasantham
Release date: 2012 (initial release)
Director: Gautham Menon
Language: Tamil
Editor: Anthony Gonsalves
Genre: Romance Film
Cast : Jiiva, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Santhaanam
Music : Ilayaraja
that he’s teaming up with Gautham Menon, who is historically known to have great taste in
music. So its intriguing what he could extract from The Maestro. The promos have been
very promising. Lets check out how the songs have fared.
1. Saaindhu Saaindhu:
This is a simple melody with delicate instrumentation. A guitar strumming forms the base
1. Saaindhu Saaindhu:
This is a simple melody with delicate instrumentation. A guitar strumming forms the base
of the tune. It is Instantly likeable. The song’s effectiveness could have been further been
accentuated had it not been sung by Yuvan. He sounds quirky and unstable at places.
Ramya NSK has done a great job.
2. Mudhal Murai:
Daddy’s back! Great orchestration. The string and brass layers are interwoven beautifully.
2. Mudhal Murai:
Daddy’s back! Great orchestration. The string and brass layers are interwoven beautifully.
They build up some sort of tension and anguish. And when the song reaches a crescendo
and breaks into choired “Neethane En Ponvasantham” phrase , I felt goosebumps. The first
interlude is dominated by a violin piece which flows through a tortuous path and segues
back into the main melody. Sunidhi breathes life into this classic composition. Impressive.
3. Vaanam Mella:
3. Vaanam Mella:
Starts off with harmonized choral vocals. Again, great live orchestration. The interludes
could form a melody of their own. Raja plays to his strength, i.e orchestration. Typical IR
number though. Has an old school feel to it. Good but feels slightly outdated.
4. Kaatrai Konjam:
The prelude is awesome with harmonized vocals. The lyrics me reminded me of a
4. Kaatrai Konjam:
The prelude is awesome with harmonized vocals. The lyrics me reminded me of a
yesteryear Raja classic “Idhu oru ponmalai pozhudu’. But this is such a pure melody. Karthik
just glides through this song with consummate ease. The chord progressions are great with
a mix of jazz elements.
5. Pudikala Mamu:
Romba pudichirukku maamu! Wow.. This is fresh. The song starts off with a guitar solo
5. Pudikala Mamu:
Romba pudichirukku maamu! Wow.. This is fresh. The song starts off with a guitar solo
with power chords. The song is so peppy. Peppy, Ilayaraja style. That is, inspite of being
such a fun song, it does not compromise on the musicality. Special word has to be put in
for the mixing. Top notch stuff. Starts off as some kind of Tamil rock number then takes the
folk route. Filled with naughtiness, this one is sure to rule the hearts of teenagers and the
youth. The tempo, mood-change midway through the song is inventive. Wild and
Delightful, really. Suraj Jagan and Karthik have scorched this one. Hats off Maestro. My pick.
6. Ennodu Vava:
First when the promos came out, I was not impressed with
8. Sattru Munbu:
Haunting. Beautiful composition and very beautifully rendered. The symphonic interlude
6. Ennodu Vava:
First when the promos came out, I was not impressed with
this one. The tune had an 80-ish feel . Now after listening
to the full song, I’m very impressed but this still is a typical
80′s melody. Karthik’s mellow vocals sound great. Orchestration meets synth in this grand
new-age Raja melody which still retains that old earthiness. Beautiful melody.
7. Pengal Endral:
7. Pengal Endral:
A song with a lot of angst. The tune itself is kind of haunting and oozes tension and anger.
The drums and guitars keep pounding with a furious energy indicating the underlying
mood of the song. But it doesnt work for me.
8. Sattru Munbu:
Haunting. Beautiful composition and very beautifully rendered. The symphonic interlude
pieces are just magic. Extensively layered with string and brass, and so intricately arranged,
that it reflects the genius of the man. As one string layer after another unfurls, we are just
left dumstruck. Takes a genius to concieve a song like this. This is heaviest song in the
album. An orchestral feast.
Album Verdict: A great musical from Raja after a long time. All hail the Maestro.
Album Verdict: A great musical from Raja after a long time. All hail the Maestro.

asins new endeavour
Asin is generally known to dub in her own voice in all the movies that she acts in - be it Tamil, Telugu or Hindi. In one of her upcoming Bollywood movies, she is playing the role of a Marathi girl and in keeping with her policy, she would be dubbing in her own voice for this role too.
She has hired a Marathi tutor to help her perfect the language and the crew of this film is surprised by her willingness to learn and dedication to deliver.
She recently had a blockbuster in Bol Bachchan and her next film is with her Housefull 2 co-star Akshay Kumar. In this film titled Khiladi 786, her character's name is Kajal Tendulkar. She is supposedly learning Marathi for this role.

Venkat Prabhu has shared some interesting updates about his upcoming film with Karthi, titled Biriyani. Vaali and Gangai Amaran have been entrusted the task of writing the lyrics for all the songs, like in Venkat's earlier films.

Shriya talks about her glamorous photoshoot
Shriya Saran recently made a lot of heads turn with her raunchy photoshoot for men's magazine, Maxim. This is her second photoshoot for this popular magazine. Her critics claimed that Shriya was doing such glamorous photoshoots to gain some attention from film circles. But she coolly brushes away such claims by saying that she did this photoshoot for fun.
She knew the photographer very well and asserts that her photoshoot was done aesthetically and in good taste. On the filmy front, she is pinning her hopes on Chandra, for which she has learnt Kalari and these stills have also been doing the rounds prominently in the net.

I dont mind people watching Mugamoodi in pirated DVDs- Mysskin
“I don’t mind people watching this film on pirated DVDs. It is just that it will not look good and you will finally end up watching the film in theaters. So, I would recommend you to save that 50 bucks you spend on DVDs and watch it in theaters,” said the director.

Sonia agarwal's next pair
Comedian Vivek is set to play the lead role again after his previous attempt at donning the main role in the movie Magane En Marumagane. This new movie would be titled Paalakaatu Madhavan. The interesting thing would be his co-star in this movie.
It would be Sonia Agarwal who is looking to make a strong comeback in her second innings. Her comeback movie Oru Nadigaiyin Vaakku Moolam did not exactly set the cash registers ringing.
ABC Dream Entertainers would be producing this Vivek-Sonia starrer.

shankar's shoot cancelled due to santhaanam
Santhanam is among the busiest stars in tinsel town and producers would go to any extent to have him in their movies. Such is the pull that he has on the audiences. He is a part of so many projects that sometimes, his schedules get mixed up.
Recently, Shankar had planned to shoot some scenes with Santhanam on a particular day's schedule of I. But, Santhanam could not make it to the shoots of I as he was occupied with some other movie. He revealed the same to Shankar who understood his plight and decided to cancel that day's shoot.

Ajith between vikram and surya
There is an interesting pattern regarding the release of big films in the coming months. Thaandavam has been announced as a September 28 release by UTV Motion Pictures. English Vinglish has been slated for October 5 and Maattrraan has been confirmed recently as an October 12 release.
So film buffs will get to experience Vikram, Ajith and Suriya back to back in subsequent weeks and that would be quite a feast for movie buffs. It must be noted that Ajith is playing just a cameo role in English Vinglish but his fans are very excited by his 'salt and pepper' look. Vikram and Suriya on the other hand have promised a different action treat with their respective films.
Should be a good time for film buffs indeed.

KONJAM KOFFEE KONJAM KAADHAL MUSIC REVIEW
Starring: Hridayaraaj, Aditi, Revathi Menon, Nassar
Direction: Venky
Music: Phani Kalyan
Production: Ganeswar Tripathy And VenkyVocals: Prasanna, Neha Nair, Suchit Suresan, Snigdha Chandra, Ranina Reddy, Nivas, Gayathri SG, Shakthishree Gopalan, Phani Kalyan, Abhay Jodhpurkar, Yazin Nazar, Pooja, Sathya Prakash, Sharanya Srinivasan, Swara Swami, Mann Taneja
Lyrics: Chitraa Venky, Palani Bharathi, Adithi Deborah
Kaadhalae…
Prasanna, Neha Nair
This is a pleasant and lilting melody with mellifluous vocals by both the singers. Both the instrumental interludes are unique. While the first interlude has western opera touches the second one is classical. Neha Nair might be the new musical sensation.
Konjam Koffee Konjam Kaadhal…
Suchit Suresan, Snigdha Chandra, Ranina Reddy
Straightaway the energy levels are set with the rock and roll jazzy style of the song. The song has more than a slight resemblance to Sillunu Oru Kaadhal’s title song. This is an experimental genre of song that is not generally tried in Tamil cinema. The instrumentals are typical of other songs in the ‘Blues’ genre and a pat to all the energetic singers.

This song is reminiscent of rock songs with inspirational lyrics. The instrumentals are typically heavy with the guitar being very prominent. The vocals and instrumentals also have a slight classical touch at places giving the song a nice fusion touch. An innovative cocktail, this number is.
Sakkarakatti…
Yazin Nazar, Pooja
The piano instrumentals at the start set the mood for the song. It turns out to be a decent melody with the vocals falling a bit short. We expected more after the beautiful opening instrumentals.

Mann Taneja
Such mushy songs are generally a part of candy floss Hindi rom-coms. This one is short and entirely in English. A feel-good one.

anushka cries,alex pandiyan shooting in trouble
cinecastle has earlier reported that Anushka has returned to Chennai and the shooting for Alex Pandian with Karthi has resumed. However, as per industry reports, the shooting of the film got into trouble today.
Anushka has engaged a personal makeup woman and has brought her to the shooting spot of Alex Pandian. However, according to reports, about 30 members of the makeup union from here, barged into the shooting spot and demanded that the personal makeup woman be sent away. Apparently they were agitated that Anushka’s makeup person is not a member of the union. Also according to people present at the spot, they abused Anushka verbally. Anushka was shocked at the treatment meted out to her and cried and went running away from the scene.
However, actor Karthi intervened and spoke to the union members. The shooting resumed only after the makeup woman was sent out from the place.

Vishnuvardhan’s untitled venture’s shoot is happening at a fiery pace. And Ajith has already started making the city go abuzz with his new looks. Though there were rumours that Ajith is playing the role of a hacker, the makers have denied such reports.
Now the news is that Taapsee is playing the role of a journalist in this much awaited film. Suman Ranganathan, who is making her comeback in Tamil after a long gap, is also reported to be playing the role of a nosy journo.
Nayanthara, Arya, Atul Kulkarni, Rana Daggubatti and Mahesh Manjrekar are also playing pivotal roles in the film.

Alex Pandian's unique distinction
Generally Tamil movies are released in its original version in states like Karnataka and Kerala, while in neighboring Andhra Pradesh, Tamil movies are dubbed. All biggies generally follow this trend.
Karthi's Alex Pandian would go for a Malayalam dubbed version and stand out from the crowd. This would be Karthi's first Malayalam dub as all his movies have been released in Kerala as straight Tamil features till now.
Anushka is his co-star in this movie and the film is fast nearing completion as it targets an October 12 release.

Mugamoodi on TV before release
The songs of Mugamoodi are already creating waves in the FM space and in the Internet thanks to some good work by composer K. Now, before the release of the movie itself, fans can catch up with the visuals of these songs too, on TV and the Internet.
UTV has been aggressively marketing Mugamoodi and this is another move in reaching the movie to the audience. Given the success of songs like Vaayamoodi Summa Iruda, fans would be really excited to see the visuals, that too on their TV sets before the 31st itself.
