Has anyone turned a listening ear to Yuvan’s remix of Kalyanaraman’s Ahaa Vandurichu for Vallavan. While its a so-so remix it’s spiced up with 50 Cent’s In Da Club and folky dandanakka that reminds of Rahman’s Errani Kurrani Gopala. Above that what makes this remix interesting is the original song. Reminds us of how we much we miss Illayaraja. Instead of Malayasia Vasudevan who performed the original, this remix version is sung by Simbhu himself. I should say I’m impressed more than what I expected.
Loose Pennae…Loose Pennae is also well sung and orchestrated. This one reminds me of KK’s rendering of Kaathal Valarthen in Manmadhan. There is an original and remix version for this number. The original version is slow and is probably the best of all the numbers in the movie. This one is also rendered by Simbhu. Again, a good number with some naive lyrics. It’s actually those naive lyrics that adds color to this song. Blazee is becoming stereotypical. But atleast in this his number, his rap actually gels with the song.
You gotta listen to both the numbers to believe what I just said. Here you go.

“Loose Penney…Loose Penney”
I read it as “Lose Penny, lose penny” and was wondering what a song about losing pennies doing in a Tamil movie. LOL.

Yeah….yu got it right…even I liked the naiveness in the lyrics…”Vaali pola paatu ezhutha yennaku theriyalaye” was a good spark…:-)….both the versions are good, plus our Vijaya T Rajendar’s “Yammadi Aathadi”, with mirchi suchi…is sure a good kuthu song….i like that one as well…the theme music and the associated song is good as well….overall the album maynot be as sizzling as manmadhan…but sure has sparks all around…I liked it I should say!!!

I like Hip Hip Hurray. I haven’t really heard the sound of a marching band drumline in Indian music much. Sudamani from Arul (Harris Jayaraj) had that, but Yuvan’s song is much better.
