Kanithan Songs - Music Review

Ramesh Kannan S

Kanithan is an upcoming action thriller movie with Atharvaa as a lead directed by T N Santosh while Drums Sivamani takes care of the music and background score of the movie. Movie's teaser created quite a stir in online media. Let's check out whether Sivamani scores in this sophomore album or not.

YappaChappa:

YappaChappa's tune is pretty much outmoded and also conventional mild Kuthu number while Anirudh and Kalpana's fine vocals bolstered the languishing tune to the particular extent. The only silver lining in this typical soundtrack is the soothing Rahman'ish second interlude with ghatam and flute touch in the arrangements.

MaiyalMaiyal:

Sivamani gets his elements right in MaiyalMaiyal, although the tune is not an instant catchy one, Haricharan and Swetha's mellifluous vocals along with Sivamani's orchestration makes this one enjoyable till it lasts. The song has lovely Guitar strums played in a classical manner, endearing percussions, mesmerising flute and the brilliant second interlude with veena.

I Viralgalal:

I Viralgalal is an another staid number in the soundtrack and MC AK's Tamil rap portions are run of the mill without any imagination whereas brief title hook is the only listenable part in an otherwise largely tedious song in the soundtrack. Sivamani's percussions get mired and become tenuous because of the humdrum tune.

Modern Ponnathan:

Modern Ponnathan gets better strictly in comparison with I viralgalal mainly because of RunaSivamani, Blaaze and Karthik vocals. Sivamani spruced up the ordinary tune with the wide and impressive range of percussions from western to classical amidst the electronically synthesized sounds. Karky marks his presence with the colloquial amusing boys vs girls banter lyrics. 

CheGuevera:

CheGuevera's soul lies in the ever reliable S P BalaSubramaniam's enthusiastic rendition while Sivamani's frenzied percussion throughout the song complements well with the singer's verve. PulamaiPithan's lyrics about media revolution are in tandem with the tone of the song. Overall Sivamani ends the soundtrack with the fitting track which will blend well with the visuals. 

Verdict: Sivamani's sophomore soundtrack after ArimaNambi is an average one which lacks instant catchy numbers. The soundtrack is salvaged by lead singers along with composer's forte.

My rating:2.5/5
