Kuruvi – Music review

Vidyasagar and Vijay have created many hits together and Kuruvi is no exception. It is a typical masala album which will please the fans of Vijay.Almost all the songs are fast paced and rhythmic .

Happy New Year ( Sunidhi Chauhan, Yogi, Dr Burn)

This is a Rap cum Kuthu song .It is a perfect start to the album and makes the intentions of the music director very obvious. Sunidhi Chauhan is the perfect choice and her heavy voice fits the song to a bill. Vidyasagar has experimented with his instrumentation and has come out a winner. The Kuthu beats have been used very differently and the rap mix in the middle is very catchy. Penned by Na Muthukumar, it has a pacy music with a lot of rhythm.

Dandana Dara (Sangeeth Haldipur)

A typical Kuthu song from Vidyasagar. The music director manages to sustain the momentum from start to finish. There is a nice rhythm to the song which makes it fun to listen to. Vijay is sure to set the stage on fire with this song.The only caveat is , this song reminds me of a song from Chandramukhi.

Thaen Thaen (Udit Narayan, Shreya Ghosal)

Shreya Ghosal is my favorite singer and she has done full justice to her talent in this song. Udit Naryan is average and just does what is expected of him. There is no doubt that he is one of the best singers in the industry but his hold of the language leaves a lot to be desired and I am still clueless as to why the music directors need him with the wealth of singers we have who can actually pronounce the words correctly. I am not trying to advocate that they have to pick regional singers; any singer from India should be able to sing anywhere in the country and I have no issue with Shreya Ghosal who is from North India but can sing the words properly. But to be really honest with all the regional divide that is going on in India it is better that we have this mix even if it sucks. Yugabharathy has handled the lyrics for this song. This soft and melodious number is the best song in the album.

Paalaanadhu Paalaanadhu (Vidyasagar, Rajalakshmi)

Heavy percussion instruments are Vidysagar’s forte and this song is no exception.The music director has also sung this song and he has not done a bad job.This song has it all for the discotheques and is sure to be a permanent resident in the clubs.Vijay has enough scope to show off his dancing abilities with such a versatile song.

Mozha Mozhanu (KK , Anuradha Sreeram)

A typical peppy song . There is nothing different or great about it . I was looking for the fast forward button halfway through the song.

Theme Music

I am not sure why the music director copied from Red Hot Chili peppers but he has enough originality in the song to claim it as his own . Heavy music is the order of the day and this song is no exception.
