Dharma Durai Songs - Music Review
Ramesh S Kannan
Dharma Durai is an upcoming romantic dram film directed by Seenu Ramasamy with Vijay Sethupathi as a lead. Yuvan Shankar Raja scores music for the film and the composer gave eclectic soundtrack for Seenu Ramasamy's previous directorial venture. Let's check out whether duo able to recreate the magic with this album or not.
Endha Pakkam
Endha Pakkam's run of the mill tune and typical pleasant arrangements has nothing extraordinary to offer except for the impeccable rendition by Chinmayi and ably supported by Rahul Nambiar in the second half. Yuvan Shankar Raja's arrangement dominated by guitar is predictably pedestrian one and Vairamuthu's lyrics sounds apt for this passable track.
Aandi Patti
Aandi Patti's meandering tune also falters after initial few minutes and the track has hackneyed rhythm structure dominated by tabla. The song has very few enticing elements and even the vocals of Senthildass and Surmukhi fails to elevate the song from the mediocre level.
Poi Vaada ✔
Poi Vaada rides mainly on the earnest rendition by Srimathu mitha and Yuvan's minimal orchestration accentuate both the lead singer vocals and Vairamuthu's beautiful lyrics brimming with optimism. The track's only grouse being that the duration is less than two minutes and it ends abruptly before making a strong impact on the listeners.
Makka Kalanguthappa ✔
Makka Kalanguthappa is a boisterous riot filled with raw native thappattam sounds especially loved the manner harmonium is infused amidst the raucous kuthu and sung with rustic energy by Mathichiyam Bala. The song surely hits the bull eye for the particular section of the audiences and with apt visuals bound to become the chartbuster.
Naan Kaatrile
In Naan Kaatrile, Yuvan digressed from the rural soundscape of the album to trance-like progression dominated by rock sounds filled with screech guitar and live drums. However, the tune falls into the conventional one, breezy peppy number and crooned effectually by ever reliable Karthik.
Verdict: Yuvan Shankar Raja's dharmadhurai is the lackluster soundtrack from the combo who gave brilliant idam Porul Yaeval and the album is packed with casual conventional sounding tunes.
Rating: 2.5/5
