RajaRani – Music Review, & My take/analysis on what the film can offer!
The teaser was unveiled sometime in May, and boy, yes we were all taken aback after seeing the novelty in the idea. We were expecting some very normal “love-failure” dialogue/song/tune to be presented as first look and teaser. But what we got was, a wonderful tagline saying “There is *love* after love failure”, and then 30 seconds of pure creativity, with GVP’s magical “Hey Baby” number playing in the background. The mental conflict between a husband and wife was depicted in a completely different way! We were already impressed by it, big time. The next thing that I loved was the logo and simplistic feel to the posters... Gave a beautiful feel to product! Expectations shot up with more posters being revealed, that had wonderful collages of all the characters. The designs have been done by Gopi Prasannaa, quite a renowned guy in his field of work. He was also behind making the posters of cult film "Aaranya Kaandam"!
What made my expectations shoot up high, was the interview on Star Vijay that featured Arya, GVP and Atlee! The clarity of thoughts in Atlee's talk made me realise that this young lad isn't just another luck-by-chance director coming into the industry. He has worked hard, under Shankar sir! He was also behind the popular "Yuvvh" music video in Malayalam. Hoping for a quality product that will be remembered forever in our hearts!
As for the music, I feel that it is GVP's best in recent times, after "Paradesi". The album is one wholesome package! "Hey Baby" is one of the highlights... It starts of as a very ordinary husky voice number, and reaches zenith with Gaana Bala's portion!! Totally enjoyable! "Angnyaade" by Shaktisree is beautiful. Just beautiful! May not be a "Nenjukulle", but definitely a winner in its own way. "Chillena" is my favourite of this album. What a song! Gives a mesmerising feel throughout the 5 minutes that it lasts. It does sound like a familiar tune, but still everything is original until you get the true source/origin "Unnale" and "Imaye Imaye" are completely intriguing... the visuals will be something to watch out for! The singing, the tune, interludes all give a pathos feel as well as the catchy rhythm for these two songs to be a success! "Oday Oday" is a typical Yuvan-ish song, with a purely enjoyable tune! I bet it will be picturized with Arya! "A Love for Life" sounds like an extension to "Imaye", and drags quite a bit. Not a very memorable theme like "Ecstasy of Dance" in Thalaivaa, but just another one which might work with visuals!
As a whole, I would rate the album 3.75 out of a total of 5!
The film has a stellar cast... Arya, Nayanthara, Jai, Nazriya, Santhanam, Sathyaraj, Mano Bala!! The trailer promised some matured acting from Jai and Arya, and pure fun from Santhanam's Thalaivar tribute get-up! "Raja Rani" could also end up as the perfect breezy romantic entertainer that is yet to come to our cinema! A roller-coaster ride laced with comedy, fights, tragedy, love failure, and love... Hollywood has seen it, Bollywood has this kind of film every month, and now it is our turn. Of course, the acting is going to be rock solid indeed!
Just wanted to talk about the film, because it has caught my attention everytime there is an announcement regarding it. Hope this article shoots your expectations high too Do not forget to leave your feedback in the comments section!
