...had much expectations to this album, a bit dissapointed, songs are not bad, but it could have been better, was expecting a soundtrack with more eletronic music. Allthough some songs are listenable like "aasai dhosai", "oru kili", and "thanghakili". "Undivil " is surely gonna be ajith fans pick of paramasivan audio.

Quick Review.

1. Undivil (Shankar Mahadevan, Malathi Lakshman)

Typical "Kuthu" song. I Guess this is the song picturised on "Rasika"(Cheena thana). Will be a hit with front benchers.

2. Natchithira Paravaikku (Tippu, Rajalakshmi)

Nice song with shades of "Kokku Para Para" , based on children.

3. Thangakkili (Madhu Balakrishnan, Srivardhini, Gopika Poornima)

Nice melodious song, a kind of marriage song I guess. Sounds good on first hearing.

4. Theme Song (Shankar Mahadevan, Karthik, Tippu, Chandiran, Jemon, Ranjith)

Patriotic song, nice one, more of situational song, good lyrics.

5. Theme(Instrumental)

Small bit of the same Theme song with instruments.

6. Oru Kili (Madhu Balakrishnan, Sujatha)

Melodious song, nothing new, same old tunes.

7. Kannan (Saindhavi, Kalyani Menan, Lakshmi Rangarajan)

Small carnatic song sung by Kalyani Menon (Rajiv menon's mother I guess) & others.

8. Aasai Dosai (Priya Subramani)

A folk song, which should go well with the mass.

Overall: Decent Album, not a great one, should do well once the movie releases. Bit of disappointment from Vidya Sagar.

Paramasivan - In his elements
IndiaGlitz [Monday, January 02, 2006]

After the splendid highs of Chandramukhi, Vidyasagar had a couple of low-key outings. But in Paramasivan he redeems himself and seems to have found the form (in the company of Vasu). The thing about Vidyasagar is that he has an ear and heart for melody. He manages to infuse them even amidst rambunctious mass songs (kuthu pattu), he manages to thread an attractive lilt. This is his strength. And in Paramasivan you can see that. Being the comeback film of sorts for Ajith, Vidyasagar has not let the hero down.

1) Undivil

Can you imagine Tamil folk instruments in full blast in a Goanese strain? Well, if you can then you can understand this song. It is a rocket blast of a start and Vidyasagar comes out with all guns blazing. Shankar Mahadevan and Malathi are also off the blocks in spirited medley. The orchestration is heavy but highly agreeable. Ajith’s fans will rock the town with this.

2) Natchatra Paravaikku

The beginning strains are almost symphonic in its sweep of grandeur (especially the violin ensemble is splendid). The song ,especially the catchy ditty crooned out by Abhaswaram Ramji’s Children’s Orchestra, reminds you of a song in the film in Anjali (full children’s songs). Tippu and Rajalakshmi’s singing pass muster.

3) Thangakilli

The starting chorus is like thousand butterflies fluttering splendid profusion. The song itself is a simple melody and spreads like sweet marmalade on a smooth bread. Madhu Balakrishnan, sounding extremely like Jayachandran, is melody personified. Srivardhini and Gopika Poornima are mellifluous and methodical.

4) Theme song

It is a huge roster of singers. Shankar Mahadevan, Karthik, Tippu, Chandran, Jemon, Ranjith. The chorus is inspirational and doubtless heavy on motivation. The right mood is rung in by the singers. The start, interestingly, is very soft (almost in Dwejavanthi raga). On the whole, very catchy and rhythmic. The orchestration is imposing and impressive.

5) Oru Kili

Again Vidyasagar doesn't experiment too much. He keeps it neat, straight and simple. Though the tabla background is slightly old-fashioned, the song and the talent of the singers Madhu Balakrishnan and Sujatha ensure that this is another winner.

6) Kannan

It is a simple Carnatic style rendering. It oozes melody (especially in this music season). Saindavi, Kalyani Menon, Lakshmi Nagarajan and the kids ensure that the lilt and tempo is just about right.

7) Asai Dhosai

The lyrics will give the game away. It is as mass as they come. Priya Subramani sings with rare gusto and authority. It is a rocker and headed straight for top of the charts.

On the whole, Ajith has been done a huge favor by Vidyasagar. Good stuff!
