An introduction for Maestro Ilayaraja should obviously bring forth some superlative words. Let us get straight into the analysis of what ‘Thaarai Thappattai’ – Ilayaraja’s 1000th album has to offer the music lovers. The film is directed by critically acclaimed Bala with Sasikumar and Varalaxmi Sarath Kumar playing the lead characters.
Hero Intro Theme :Â
The album takes off with a simple yet appealing theme music titled as ‘Hero Entry Theme’, which has some interesting elements though middling in few parts. This could have an enhancement with the visuals.
Vathana Vathana Vadivelan
Vocals: Kavitha Gopi, Priyadarshini
The singers – Kavitha Gopi and Priyadarshini embark on an impressive moment with their shift of paradigms and all praises go to Ilayaraja for utilizing their potentials in a much enhanced manner. The musical accompaniment through the fill ins and minute detailing in orchestration is magnanimous.
Paaruvaaya
Vocals: Sathya Prakash, Surmukhi
You utter the words from ‘Thiru Vasagam’, you’ll feel the beauty of it. Last year, it was AR Rahman trying it out through his work in ‘Kaaviya Thalaivan’ and now Maestro Ilayaraja impels impulsive emotions through the verses from Thiru Vasagam and the singers Sathya Prakash and Surmukhi definitely deserve special appreciations.
Idarinum
Singer: Sharath
When a track as such of this genre, comes Maestro Ilayaraja would surely opt for some versatile ones like SP Balasubramaniam or KJ Yesudas. Isaignani this time goes for someone completely out of this league and picks Sharath and the result? It’s an incredulous package of astounding work overall. You’ll keep listening to this track over and again.
Aattakkari Maman Ponnu
Vocals: MM Manasi and Prasanna
The song starts off with something little old and later goes up with the right momentum and sways up with decent notes. MM Manasi is an unexpected inclusion in an Ilayaraja album, but the output is pretty groovy. Prasanna sleepwalks with his portions with a brilliant job.
Thaara Thappattai
The album gets to the peak of graph with this theme music, which completely defines what this album is all about. The track has all elements of invigorations and excitements.
Arrambam Aavudhu
Singers: Ilayaraja and Ananthu.
The ballad kind of song usually gets embellished with the touch of Maestro Ilayaraja, which we had experienced in many films including Virumaandi. This track comes up as a dramatic storytelling genre and it will gain the intensity through the visuals.
