Kuruvi Music Review - Galatta

Padma Iyer [April 19, 2008, 3:18:47 PM]

Kuruvi, directed by Dharani and produced by Udhayanidhi Stalin, has raised a lot of expectations. The hit team of Ghilli, comprising Vijay, Trisha, Dharani and Vidyasagar, is coming together for the romantic action movie. Recently, the audio release of Kuruvi took place in a grand fashion in Chennai. Now, Vidyasagar's rocking numbers have added to the fans' jubilation.'Happy New Year', the first song in the album, bursts with joy and gusto. Sung by Sunidhi Chauhan, Yogi and Dr. Burn, the song has a colourful mood and an infectious energy level. Towards the second part, the tempo picks up and it truly becomes a musical carnival!

The Kuruvi theme track is an interesting blend of different styles of music. One can recognize a bit of folk style here and a hint of western touch there in its tunes. Dr. Burn, Praveen Mani and Ranina render it.

'Mozhamozhannu' begins with Kay Kay and Anuradha Sriram's voices. It is a typical folk song with a traditional folksy touch. Replete with heavy beats and novel lingo, the song is punchy and in Vijay's signature style. Anuradha's voice modulates with an appropriate accent and tempo. Kay Kay's vocal support is a value addition to the song.

Rajalakshmi and Vidyasagar just rejoice while singing 'Palanadhu Palaanadhu'. Based on a pacey tune, its lyrics praise the hero and make every one dance.

'Thaen Thaen Thaen' is in Udit Narayan and Shreya Goshal's honey-sweet voices. A lovely duet, the song is based on a subtle and soothing tune and has very melodious background music.

'Dandaana Darna' is a dapankoothu sung by Sangeet Haldipur. The song's lyrics are a lure and certainly warrant praise. Cheery and motivational, the song celebrates the country's natural wealth and resources.

The Kuruvi album is a collection of peppy dance numbers and caters to listeners' favourite tastes. What more can a Vijay fan ask for?
