Indie Artist & ‘Thunivu’ Lyricist Vasiagh turns composer with ‘Kudumbasthan’
Vaisagh, known for his work on “Kaaka Kadha” and “Edhuvum Kedaikalana”, has transitioned from indie music to composing for the film “Kudumbasthan”, marking a significant chapter in his career. It is worth mentioning that he had penned lyrics for the film ‘Thunivu’ as well.
Vaisagh embarked on his musical journey in the indie music circuit, where his gift for crafting melodies rich with emotional depth captivated music enthusiasts. His tracks delved into the complexities of life, fusing traditional and contemporary sounds to carve out a distinct and compelling niche in the indie music scene. Not only did his work amass a devoted fanbase, but it also commanded the respect of his peers in the industry.
The announcement of Vaisagh as the composer for “Kudumbasthan” came with a wave of excitement across social platforms, particularly on X, where fans and followers of his music celebrated this new venture. “Kudumbasthan”, directed by Rajeshwar Kalisamy and starring Manikandan, promises to delve into the life of a family man, balancing humor with heartfelt moments, making Vaisagh’s musical style a fitting choice for the film’s soundtrack.
The film’s first look, released with much fanfare, hinted at a narrative deeply rooted in family dynamics, which aligns well with Vaisagh’s thematic explorations in music. His previous works, like “Kaaka Kadha”, which narrates a tale of love and loss through the metaphor of a crow, or “Edhuvum Kedaikalana”, which challenges listeners with its philosophical undertones, suggest that Vaisagh’s soundtrack for “Kudumbasthan” might explore new musical territories within the commercial film framework.
The audio rights for “Kudumbasthan” have been secured by Think Music India, a label known for promoting both mainstream and indie music. This collaboration could signify a blend of Vaisagh’s indie essence with the broader appeal necessary for film success, potentially introducing his unique sound to a wider audience.
Vaisagh’s appointment as the composer for “Kudumbasthan” not only represents his personal growth but also reflects the evolving landscape of film music in India, where indie musicians are increasingly finding their space in mainstream cinema. This integration could pave the way for more indie artists to transition into film, bringing fresh perspectives to an industry often criticized for its formulaic approach to music.
As “Kudumbasthan” gears up for its release, all eyes are on Vaisagh to see how he translates his indie success into a soundtrack that resonates with the film’s narrative, potentially setting a new benchmark for film music in Tamil cinema. His journey from indie stages to the big screen not only marks a personal milestone but also enriches the cultural tapestry of South Indian cinema with his distinctive musical narrative.
