Silambattam - Music Review
Posted by Anandhan Subbiah on Oct 22, 2008 in Movies, Music, Personal • 11 comments
Yuvan Shankar Raja is back with this movie featuring Silamabrasan and Sana Khan. This album is a song for the masses and does not really reflect the talent of the young music director.I really believe the actor influences the music director a lot as there is a lot of similarity in the music scores for all of their films together. The first two albums by Yuvan for Silamabrasan were good but it gets a little tiring to keep hearing the same kind of albums and like Obama as the presidential candidate the audience needs a change.
Silambattam ( Shankar Mahadevan)
This is yet another song which is really stupid showering praising on the lead actor and advising the general public. There is no doubt that there is abundant talent in the Tamil film industry but I really hope this nonsense comes to an end. You never see this trend anywhere except in the south and it is very demeaning to the Tamil industry as a whole. That said Yuvan has come up with a familiar but decent composition and the ever reliable Shankar Mahadevan has done a commendable job.
Nalanthana (Silamabrasan, Earl , Suzi Q)
A forgettable song. Yuvan has taken a shot at remixing this very famous yesteryear song and made a real mess of it.
Machan Machan (Illayaraja,Bela Shinde)
This is a impressive song sung by Illayaraja and Bela Shinde. There is a nice melody to the whole song and Bela has given it her best. Illayaraja’s voice is different to say the least. The lyrics are again tasteless for a song with a nice rhythm to it.This is the only decent song in the album.
Vachukava (Silamabrasan, Suchithra)
Another remix of a famous Rajini song. Silamabrasan’s voice does not match the song at all. The orchestration is not up to the mark either . This is not bad remix attempt but the song did not really impress me.
Where is the party ( Mukesh, Priyadarshini)
A horrible song with horrendous lyrics. The only saving grace is the orchestration and a decent tune.
Overall a very disappointing album by Yuvan. He was making waves with Saroja and Aegan but this album is sure to peg him back from the great progress he had made as a music director . Maybe he should stay away from actors who like to promote themselves and work with folks who concentrate on good story lines and quality. It is evident he has compromised quality to satisfy the lead actor and has failed miserably.
Hopefully the movie is not as pathetic as this music album.
oh my god … r u mad or nuts … its one of the best comercial album iv ever heard ….i think u have a problem with simbu or yuvan all the songs r rocking and wht a stupid review …. the songs r mind blowing bro … congrats yuvan and simbu
Perfect review Anand. A crappy album!
This is one of the best music song of this year and “where is party” is going rock TN more than any thing else..
The review is shit..The songs are rocking..”Where is the party” will be a sure hit!! Learn to enjoy the music composition…Dont write reviews like u r in 80s..
‘Where is the party’ is going to be a sure hit…Stupid Review.
i guess u dont know how to enjoy the song!! it’s good album
crappy review. WHERE IS THE PARTY gonna be the all time favourite. nice singing by MUKESH. this guy is realy having problem with yuvan.(even i dont mind simbu). ilayaraja song is nice melody.
Silambattam is not a talented music from yuvan , but it is simply a mass attraction music.
Sure it will rock …..Esply WHERE IS THE PARTY…..
yuvan once again proves himself as a youth icon of tis year! i think WHERE IS T PARTY might b a massive hit in tis year! ofcourse mukesh is a notable singer in tis year! keep rocking guys!
i am not a simbu fan…but a yuvan fan… wheres the party took me by surprise! the song is massive hit and pulling in the crowds for the movie…. guess this review is one of the numerous reviews that bite the dust eventually….
I do agree that the song is a massive hit ( from what I have read) but I still stand by what I said the song is really horrible .It is no doubt a lot of fun but leaves a bad taste . I am sure that the melody machan machan will be remembered for a while. Btw i am huge fan of Yuvan , he has a lot of talent.
