Name of the film : Kunguma Poovum Konjumpuraavum
Main cast: Ramakrishna, Dakshana and others

Music : Yuvan Shankar Raja
Director : Raj Mohan

Yuvan Shankar Raja is back and is back with a big bang. This is an awesome album and a true reflection of this magnificent artist. The flute seems to the instrument of choice for Yuvan in this album and he has used it to good effect.

Chinnan Sirisu (Javed Ali, Bela Shende)
The best song of the album sung by Javed Ali and Bela Shende. I think this is Javed Ali’s first Tamil song and he had made sure his presence his felt in this melodious song.Bela shinde seems to Yuvan’s latest favorite these days and the artist does not let him down. The lyrics are very simple and down to earth. The tune is also simple with a slight beat in the background.

Kadaloram (Yuvanshankar Raja)
Another haunting song sung by the music director himself. The flute interlude is a master piece by Yuvan and the overall ambiance of the song is perfect. This is a typical Yuvan Shankar Raja song with a nice rhythmic beat with clever pitch changes. This song will remain in the charts for a long time to come.Another terrific soundtrack from the Yuvan – SPB charan fable of music.

Orunimisham (Velmurugan)
A terrific composition. Yuvan has taken a simple song to great heights. It is impossible not to admire Yuvan’s creative orchestration. This song left me wondering why such a talented music director compose song for crappy actors and waste his talent. Velmurugan is perfect for this song and sings it with a lot of passion. A perfect song.

Na Dharmanda (S.P.B)
A decent song . I am sure this is a song introducing the hero. SPB as usual sings it with a lot of energy . The tune is very catchy. It took me back to the 80’s when Illayaraja was ruling the charts.

Kadaloram (SPB Charan)
A repeat song. SPB Charan has done a fabulous song crooning to this song with a lot of passion.If you are not careful you will mistake him for his legendary dad. The flute interlude is so haunting that it will linger in the mind of the audience for a long time to go. The song is all about a youth singing about his lover and the lyrics convey the emotions perfectly.

Muttathu Pakkathil (Venkat Prabhu)
A fast kuthu song.It takes back to the 80’s and Venkat Prabhu has clearly enjoyed singing the song. There is a clear mix of folk and the kuthu style of music making it very enjoyable.

Yuvan Shankar Raja has proved that with the right combination he is a force to beckon with. Rehman is still miles ahead but Yuvan can match the legend if he starts working with right people who promote good cinema and not themselves. The young music director needs to work with Goutham or Manirathnam to get noticed outside of Tamil Nadu. His association with SPB charan is a great move towards that direction.He should start thinking out of the box to get to the next level like his great father. He has the talent he just needs to go that extra mile.

A must buy.

  1. Loved your review. Yes. KPKP is a good album and the first three songs are haunting. Oru Nimisham is my favorite. Such a disturbing number with excellent lyrics.
    But I somehow feel that KPKP is one step below PV (of same genre). And when it comes to rural based subjects, yuvan confines himself to few instruments and doesn’t try beyond that. He must get rid of this and start spreading his wings. Hope to see more such soulful music from him. As a fan, I’m lil disappointed with this album as i expected a lot. :)

  2. nice review. KPKP is a good movie…. songs are extraordinary….all songs are my favourite.. especially kadaloram and muttathu pakkathil….. wow what a lyrics…… as a fan i want to see more pictures of KPKP……
