10 Endrathukulla Songs - Music Review 

Ramesh S Kannan

Vijay Milton of Goli soda fame joins hands with high profile actor Vikram for commercial road thriller flick 10 Enrathukulla while Imman scores the music for this flick. Let’s check out whether Imman manages to create vibe with his soundtrack for this high profile movie.

Vroom Vroom:

Vroom Vroom has few interesting elements like catchy lyrics by MadhanKarky using James Bond, ViratKohli, catchy guitar riff portions and classical guitar touch in the middle. However tune by Imman is largely mundane and heavily monotonous even chorus portions also appears dull after first listen. Overall uninspiring tune makes this one falls flat despite catchy arrangements. Santosh Hariharan does his best to prop up the song with his energetic vocals.

Aanaalum Indha Mayakam:

Aanaalum Indha Mayakam does fairly better mainly for their arrangements with Kanjira, flute sections and Sarangi portions while Sathya Prakash croons this breezy rural melody in an effectual manner especially humming. The song is interspersed with fairly engaging chorus and uncredited Hindi verses. Overall hummable laid back melody from Imman.

Title Song (Male Version):

The title song has slightly retro touch with respect to the guitar works especially in the first interlude while Vishal Dadlaniaces once again with his grungy rendition. Emcee Jesz marks his presence with the rap portions which are not quite catchy while Imman mixes the bike sounds quite well in tandem with the theme of the movie.

Title Song (Female Version):

The title song by VaikomVijayalakshmiworks well mainly due to Vaikom's idiosyncratic touches to the tune which makes the huge difference compared to the Vishal's grungy version. Imman slightly alters the arrangements too with trance elements mixed effectively instead of rock portions in original version but Vaikom steals the listeners with her stupendous rendition.

GaanaGaana:

Gaana Gaana is brilliant especially for its orchestration with Jazz elements in the prelude, European country styled guitar sections and classical string section in the first and second interlude respectively. Imman infused the templatized kuthu which is rendered sensually by Shreya Goshal while AnandAravindakshanably supports her. Overall, interesting experimentation from Imman.

Mysterious travel:

Mysterious travel is quite apposite to the title has an excellent mix of interesting and intriguing middle east sounds which is packaged quite effectually by Imman. Especially string and flute portions are the highlights in this wonderfully made theme track.

Verdict: Imman fails to deliver the completely enjoyable album in this 10 Enrathukulla mainly due to uninspiring tunes, However Imman's orchestration is considerably engaging throughout the album.

Rating: 2.5/5

Pick of the Album: Title track(female), Mysterious travel, Gaana Gaana.
