1. Maathanga
Seems, It is a vanthana sloka usually performed in Kathakali. ‘Adithya Hrudayam’ from ‘Sindhu Bhairavi’ kind of song. Who else can sing it better than KJY?
2. Kunnathe
Beautiful melody sung by Chitra. Typical Malayalam melody. The way charanam ends (last 2 lines) and loop backs to pallavi is brilliant and something unique about IR songs.
3. Adhiyshash sandhya
This is a historic film produced with a mega budget. A King’s story. A freedom fighter’s story. This song exactly sets the mood. Who else can provide a grand and quality music like this other than Raaja? What an orchestration! Very interesting to hear the rhythm usage in this song. Majestic voice of Sreekumar in Charanam.
4. Ambum Kombum
Should be a celebration song praising the King. Good usage of charanam. Again, a very clear tune. Maestro’s voice fits in perfectly. Pallavi is too good.
5. Odathandil
Sangeetha’s voice is very sweet. Chandrashekar’s voice is very different (Huhoo. I found out. The same voice in Kaathirundhen thaniye from Raasamagan. Man, I love your voice!). The tune? Should I say? Isn’t it default? J Raaja at his best. Melodic tune. Beautiful interludes. It is nice to hear those music added between the lines of charanam.
6. Aalamadankala
There are chances for this song to be compared with ‘Azeem O Shaan’ from ‘Jodha Akbar’.
On the whole, this is a wonderful album and one of the best in 2009. I appreciate director’s decision to choose Ilayaraja for composing music of this film. Ilayaraja has given the best needed for film. The BGMs must be rocking. Waiting to watch the movie!
