Mayakkam Enna – Tamil Music Review

Mayakkam Enna is an upcoming Tamil romantic drama film directed by Selvaraghavan. It stars his brother Dhanush, along with Richa Gangopadhyay,and features music scored by G. V. Prakash Kumar while the cinematography is handled by Ramji. The film, which is produced and distributed by Gemini Film Circuit, is currently in its production stage and is expected to release in October 2011. The expectations were quite high for this movie.

Ennena Seidhom Ingu(Harish Raghavendra)
This is a surprise package from the young music director. Harish renders this wonderful composition with ease. The tune is actually more devotional than commercial but I don’t think anyone will complain.

Kadhal En Kadhal(Dhanush,Selvargahavan)
This is a a mediocre song at best and credit should be given to G.V Prakash for trying to make this into something meaningful. It will also be fair to say that Dhanush has done a commendable job of what he has been asked to do as a singer.

Mayakkam Enna Theme..(G.V. Prakash)
The true skill of the music director is evident in this theme music. I am sure selvaraghavan must have spent a lot of time with G.V to get this right. The synthesized music in the end is a spoiler but otherwise this theme songs is one of the best songs in the album.

Naan Sonnadhum Mazhaivandhucha… (Naresh Iyer)
G.V Prakash does a Yuvan with a high pitched & breezy tune and Naresh definitely seems to be up for it. The background music could have been streamlined better , something Yuvan has mastered over the years. This song is still one of the better compositions and worth a listen

Pirai Thedum(Saindhavi & GV Prakash)
This is the pick of the album even though it reminds me of the singers hit from his previous album with Vikram. Saindhvai has a beautiful voice and she has delivered a master piece with G.V. Again the background music is still a little too jarring for my comfort and could have been a bit more smooth. Na Muthukumar has produced some wonderful lyrics.

Voda Voda Dhooram Korayala…(Dhanush)
This is another conversational piece and the focus is more on the fun factor than anything else.

This may not be one of the best albums from G.V but as with all Selvaraghavan films the songs typically fits the mood of the movie and this shouldn’t be any different. I think my biggest concern is around the odd lyrics which are more conversational than anything. I guess the team would have been better off if they allowed the professionals lyricists to do thier jobs.Also the music director is known for his subdued and smooth background score which brings the singers to the forefront , but in this album he has definitely tried to change it but I am not convinced that it is a good move. I would still buy the album as it still has all the ingredients to make it big.
