Mouna Guru Movie Online – Music Review

 

This film with Arulnidhi and Iniya in the lead role has songs composed by Thaman. First of all, it can be presumed that for Thaman, the current phase of his career is shooting vertical. He has scored music for STR's Osthi the songs of which have already hit the air with much fray. This actor-turned musician has the niche to prefer those tunes which have energy in the rendition and the whole orchestration. This is how he shaped Osthi Mamey and Kala Sala songs. Now his next venture, Mouna Guru's audio is out recently. Actually the album has got little numbers, perhaps the design mooted by the film director. However, the quality of songs cannot be gauged with the quantity. The lyrics from the veterans Vaali, Na.Muthukumar and Karky added much fervor to the tune and the voices of Karthik, Harini and young modules like Rahul Nambiar, Ranjith Kumar and other new hosts. Here's the review of the songs from Mouna Guru.

Pudhupunal
Lyrics: Vaali
Playback: Rahul Nambiar, Ranjith, MLR Karthikeyan and Sam
Vaali is back to the game of words in this number after Mankatha and Osthi. This is very interesting to note that a versatile lyricist at the septuagenarian for the budding musicians and the playback singers. Vaali's choice of words is simple and the rhyming is also meticulous. The voice cluster of Rahul, Ranjith, Sam and Karthikeyan makes this song lively and energetic. Thaman can be patted for his trial of fused effect for the situation. The first word, puthupunal itself proves this. An impressive opening for this album from Thaman.

Yenna Idhu
Lyrics: Na.Muthukumar
Playback: Ranjith, Rahul Nambiar, Ramya and Rita
If we are familiar with the mild melody from Ilayaraja in Agni Natchiram with Yesudoss and Janaki's rendition, "Thoongatha Vizhikal Rendu", then this number from Thaman is much akin to it. The instrumentation is very apt for this longing situation as Thaman has found the lyrics too objective. Rahul makes the rendition with much ease as in the case of Rahul. For the female part, Ramya's voice scores well for the diction. Chellamazahi, Nooru Thee alai are inventives like Alagiya Theeiye. Good number to carry on the album.

Anaamika
Lyrics: Madan Karky
Playback: Karthik and Harini
This song comes with lot of freshness and lingering emotions. The lyrics are very much lovely as the word Anaamika comes very often as the anthathi. The rhyming like Thisaimani and avathani (which are utter translation of "compass" and "assumption"). This presentation may sound pure literary but it fits in well for the situation. Thaman has found a new source of words from Karky. Karthik's voice takes us to the dizzy heights of excitement. Harini's rendition is accurate as much for a mean melody. The orchestration is, somehow experimental, but overall effect is above average scale. In the entire song, the words and phrases like Irudayapeyarchi, araiyinil pirayena, araikurai uraiglai, uraisiraiaraigalil are pure literal Tamil classifications. In all this song is uniquely carved for youth's induction of love. The number reach across the mass after the film release.

Theme – Thaman S
This fills in the need for the number slot but it has some effect to listen. Thaman has made this fusion with much care and professional approach. Nothing to be derived for any sort of lapse since this is just a theme fusion. Perhaps, Thaman was confined to go along with the requirements preferred by the director. A lot is there to listen for in this fusion as Thaman might have cherished his own talent to bloom further. Really it should be a big try for both Thaman and the audience.

Conclusion:
There are many instances to prove the mettle of little things, like Thirvalluvar's couplet which has just two lines but conveys a lot. A small peck of wine or whisky may lead to an entire word for a time being. A little bird standing on the branches of a greener tree will be a beautiful sight to watch. Just like them, in this album Thaman has brought out a few number of songs. Each one is different in tune, orchestration and method of fusion. Moreover, the lyrics are selective for the prescribed situation. Thaman is up the mark of growth from this album, though there is nothing to make extraordinary. He has survived on his step towards next. Keep it up, Thaman.
