AJITH 'S VEERAM MUSIC REVIEW - MUSIC IS BY DSP

Veeram, a Pongal 2014 release, is Ajith Kumar’s follow up to his successful Arrambam. The film is directed by Siva of Siruthai fame and stars the likes of Tamannah, Santhanam and more. Music is by Devi Sri Prasad and all the songs have been penned by Vivega.

Nallavannu Solvaanga 

Singers: Devi Sri Prasad

Lyrics: Vivega

The opening track has already been made famous through the teaser and the entire track manages to sustain the mass appeal for the most part, with solid support from Vivega’s lyrics. The core instrumental of the synth hook and the guitar riff is most certainly the highlight of the track and is used intelligently by DSP. The fact that the track features some dialogues by Ajith should add to the entertainment of his fans.

Ival Dhaana

Singers: Sagar, Shreya Ghoshal

Lyrics: Vivega

A lively duet where DSP continues to milk the most from a pretty catchy hook – it features in different instrumental hues as well as a vocal melody. The well rounded production and adept vocal performances pushes this tune higher.

Thangame Thangame

Singers: Adnan Sami, Priyadarshini

Lyrics: Vivega

Again, very much in DSP territory here and the listener can see himself predicting how the track is going to pan out – not to mention that the track carries familiar strains of some of his earlier tunes. The composer, as he so very well does, keeps the tempo up and ensures that the mood is peppy. There are some impressive instrumental moments like the flute progression early on, but its few and far between. Adnan Sami’s Tamil diction is acceptable and the singers perform to their potential.

Jing Chakaan Jing Chakaan

Singers: Magizhini Manimaaran, Pushpavanam Kuppusamy

Lyrics: Vivega

Those who find themselves enjoying DSP’s danceable Telugu songs like ‘Kevu Keka’ and ‘Ringa Ringa’ will know what to take-away from a track like this. While this one does fall marginally short in caliber when compared to the aforementioned two tracks, the formula and intention is very much the same and the execution comes easy to DSP as he pushes all the right buttons to get the foot tapping and body moving. Pushpavanam Kuppusamy and Magizhini Manimaaran are good choices for singers.

Ratha Gaja

Singers: Anand, Deepak, Jagadish, Koushik

Lyrics: Vivega

A fiery tune which had also introduced itself early in one of the teasers comes as the album closer. The melody does pack a punch and the execution is equally thunderous with the percussions and the horns. The opening bars set up the intensity very well and DSP holds it together with strong instrumentation. The vocals in unison are excellent and they perform with intent.
