The track 'Sarattu Vandiyila' in the new upcoming film 'Kaatru Veliyidai' was released on 28-Feb. Most AR fans would have guessed the genre of the number seeing the word 'vandiyila' that it would be a Tamil folk. Ardent Rahman fans would love to receipt folk songs from him. Because AR being a Sufi enthusiast would apply some of that template (not style or tune) for folk songs. Eg: 'Vandi maadu' in 'Kizhaku Seemaiyile' which is a holy relic for Rahmaniacs.
Coming to the track, many would wonder how this would be a milestone for AR's music jouney. Read below calm I request you all. Previously we listened to the other 2 tracks released in this film.
The track 'Azhagiye' is a deja vu of 'Mental Manadhil' with respect to minimal the hard work he puts for the pilot releases of songs from the film 'Mariyan'. I would rather comment on 'Vaan Varuvan' here as I would want another entire article to explore. It is a shear marketing technique, he would put minimum work in composing tunes like this. This actually works in his way, because we all know Rahman's tracks take atleast 2 weeks to get listed in top 5 tracks of that particular month. So, to get the instant popularity this would work right! He also gets to work less.
We see the 'trend' of releasing a pilot song of film generally. Hardcore Rahman fans would not prefer this as they connect listening to a Rahman's film songs in a set to a completely different experience. We get a platter of songs which we would 'hate completely'. And then realize that the song we hated the most be always in our music player for that month ! Ok, enough with discussing Rahman's "keka keka pidikum' thingy as it's discussed by netizens a million times.
I had listened and currently listening to 'Sarattu Vandiyila' now when I'm penning this article (21:10 hrs). I'm doing this to assist my writing. So I believe I get the LLR to comment of this song before hardcore fans go 'Nee thirupi thirupi ketiya daaw' 'You don't talk about AR unless you listen to it atleast 25 times daaw' 'First time keta apdi dhaan daaw' ! :D :D
So what's wrong mister ?
There is high chance of a millenial reading this but bear with me. Do you remember listening to 'Athiradikaaran' in 'Sivaji' movie. Yeah! Whaaaat in the world is this ?!?! Yaaak! :( AR you suck and all those chants ! And after a week we went nuts over that song ! Aaaanja, Maanja, Saanja ... We all were whispering for a month ! Coming to the song 'Sarattu Vandiyila' we were reminded about a number of songs when listening to the first time. I was personally got reminded of the below tracks,
- Aayiram thaamarai mottugale in 'Alaigal Oivadhillai'
- Chandiranai thottadhu yaar in 'Ratchgan'
- Dhavani pota deepavali in 'Sandakozhi'
- Aalangatti malai in 'Thenali'
We all know which musician has this style and we also troll that guy for using Church songs in his films! Halla Halla Haleena, Whaaaack ! Sup Haris Jayaraj, Sup ! :D :D :D
Sorry Rahman we do not get reminded of other songs when listening to your numbers for the first time. We just listen to it for the first time and list you below 'Dheva', cha Rahman sothappal da. Yuk daaw!
One could easily guess that this track is the 'wedding song' of this Maniratnam's flick like 'yaaro yaarodi' in 'Alaipayuthey'. We see the songs describes the legendary 'first night' in Tamil Cinema which goes in discretion after when the bride gives the groom milk. I mean, the milk 'sombu' ! :D :D
Seriously ?!!? How much of a legendary song that 'Yaaro Yaarodi' was! The cute shrill voice of Vaishali and Richa Sharma was a block buster hit in Tamil Nadu! The 'Bass' maintained drum which comes immediately after when the songs starts! The line where the singer free styles 'kannaala kanaala poongodiku' still give us eargasm! And I'm sure hard core rahman fans would smile when the Vaishali pronounces 'yaaro yaarodi' as 'iiiyyaaro iiiiyyordi' and makes it all cute & I don't know ..whatever !
Ok, let me put you in bad mood by comparing another awesome wedding song: 'Avalukenna ambasamuthiram' in 'Chillunu Oru Kadhal'! Ok the next one is heavy: 'Jiya Jale' in 'Dil se' You see! The song seems to wind around the same tune of the starting first line 'Sarattu Vadiyla sirattoliyila oram un mugam' and there's this usual beats behind them to make it sound folk ! Dude, where is the tune which we used to hate in the first hearing ?!?!?! We really get into the song so much that we like it in the first hearing and this every hardcore Rahman fan would hate...... ironically!... Linga, Highway, Kochadaiyan, I, 24, Mohen Jodaro, OK Kanmani are all 'to forget' category of yours which is a new category opened in you name !
Any 90's or late 80's aren't happy with this 'unstructured' song trend which was followed by Rahman from 'Delhi-6' or 'VTV'. I remember Rahman talking about this style in a radio interview when I had just passed 12th about this style! It's evident we miss that Rahman with a ridiculous hairstyle making him look like a mongloid idiot ! (It's a joke ok!), that Rahman who doesn't show off his mansion in Los Angles and his 'Aston Martin' in facebook page! Why Rahman, Why ?!!! Already the 90's are confronting their adult life in an abysmal way. I see many people nodding to that now !
This song makes us put Rahman in the 'yet another' musician category owing to your recent trend and the movies listed above! We are 90's bro, we are all nostalgic idiots!
'Mental Manadhil' was given a huge hype when lyrics was penned by Rahman himself. We see a lot of Rahman fans requesting him to go back to his music style which once he had stuck to. We have seen musicians like OP Nayyar, SD Burman or Kandasala in South India becoming legends and still their tracks being the benchmarks! I remember reading OP Nayyar cut Aasha Bhosle from giving chances when she came late for a recording! OP Nayyar's arrogance and insistence on a high remuneration did not make him obsolete or to be deserted. It is those gritty qualities that 'make' an artist. We have seen Rahman sudden craze for concerts around the world, we've seen him teaming up with Mick Jagger, Majid Majidi, we've seen him doing production in cinema, we've seen him opening up porche recording studios in UK and US, we've seen him doing less popular Hollywood flicks!
Coming back to our 'song': Isn't there any sort of a tiny positive thingy ?!??! Oh yes, there is. His voice when heard for the first time in this track after a long time, .............A LONG TIME... yeah.. really gave us a slight jolt !
Tipu it is! I mean where did this guy come from ? lol !! (remember 'telephone manipol' in Indian) yeaaah.. i Knowwww!!...
Come back Rahman, please grow that ridiculous hair and become shy! You are one among the very few things which exist in 90's kids life !
