MeenKuzhambum ManPaanayum is an upcoming comedy movie with Prabhu and Kalidas Jayaraman as a lead. Imman composed music for this movie and let’s check out how well Imman scored for this urban comedy flick.

 

Athea Nila

---

Sathya prakashand Shashaa Tripati excel in the charming retro melody Athea Nila while Imman's arrangements feature brilliant violin solo in the interludes. Shashaa Tripati's rendition evokes memories of Aye Mr. Minor from Kaaviya thalaivan and though Elfe choir is not utilized as extensive as in Oruthi Mele, they render fantastic support to the lead singers.

 

Wako Wowra

---

Wako Wowra's uninspiring and typical tune bogs down the listener's interest while Neha Basin and Varun Parandhaman's energetic vocals being the only enjoyable enough offer in this monotonous track. Imman's spruces up the arrangements with thumping guitars, hip hop beats and enjoyable terse middle Eastern tinge in the second interlude.

 

Yellam Naadagam Endrayo

---

Shankar Mahadevan's involved rendition of this semi-classical melancholy along with his improvisations coupled with Imman's excellent layering of fantastic string sections throughout the song  makes this one easily winner in the soundtrack. MadhanKarky'smelancholic lyrics and sporadic ominous flute bits set the tone of the song in a brilliant manner.

 

Hey Puthea jaya Poove:

---

Imman experiments another stylish upbeat song Hey Putheajaya Poove and once again tune didn't help the song much. Imman's rhythmic beats and a melange of assorted sounds in the first interlude alone unable to salvage this song while Jithin Raj and SunithaSarathy does justice to the song with their upbeat vocals.

 

Theme Track:

---

MeenKuzhambum Man Paanayum's theme track is the delectable one especially for its enjoyable mix of brass sounds along with sequencing and brief dialogues. Overall Imman rounds off the soundtrack with neat theme sound which has nothing extraordinary to offer but listenable till it lasts.

 

Verdict: In MeenKuzhambum ManPaanayum Imman's formulaic tune works partially. 

 

My rating: 2.5/5

Pick of the Album: Yellam Naadagam yendrayo, Athea Nila
