Jilla - Music Review

 

 Jilla - Music Review

Jilla is easily one of the most awaited movie of 2014, mainly due to the the male leads, Mohanlal & Vijay. 2 big superstars of neighboring states unite in this Pongal mass masala entertainer. Lets see if the songs prove justice to the expectations.

1. Pattu Onnu 

Singers:  S.P.Balasubramaniam, Shankar Mahadevan | Lyrics: Yugabharathi

Right from the release of promo songs this is the song that everyone has been talking about. Its the Intro song featuring both Mohanlal & Vijay on screen & a perfect song for the occasion too. Nice composition, mass lyrics, superb singing and nice instrumentation. The Lyrics is just playing it to the gallery, can't imagine the scenes in theaters during the song, especially in Kerala, where Vijay is also popular. Using 'Chenda' in between was an intelligent thought by Imman, the cherry on top. Visually this one will be the song to look forward to.

4/5

2. Kandaangi Kandaangi

Singers : Vijay, Shreya Ghoshal | Lyrics: Vairamuthu

Vijay turned singer once again for this song and its by far his best attempt at flexing vocal chords. Vijay's singing is of course the biggest plus of the song, he has sang the song with pitch perfection & didn't get over shadowed by a talent like Shreya Ghoshal, infact both get the scope to shine in the song. Lyrics was okay too. The music had a slight dejavu feel, but singing make the song stand apart.

3.5/5

3. Verasa Pogayile 

Singers : D. Imman | Lyrics: Parvathy

Music Director Imman himself has sang the song & beautifully too. Another beautiful romantic track in the album. Very goos lyrics, beautiful rendering and good composition as well. 

3.75/5

4. Jingunamani

Singers : K.G. Ranjith, Sunidhi Chauhan | Lyrics: Viveka

First thing one notice in the song is Sunidhi Chauhans pumped up voice and perfect 'Tamil'. Her energy itself makes the song worth hearing. Composed as a folk song duet it has all chance of climbing up the charts with the visuals. A good  mass-folk number.

3.25/5

5. Yeppa Maama Maama Treatu 

Singers : D. Imman, A.V Pooja, Snigdha Chandra | Lyrics: Viveka

The weakest song in the album. A usual 'kutthu' number. Funky lyrics and Singing makes it stand out

2.5/5

6. Jilla Theme

Jilla Theme

Singers : Santhosh Hariharan, Deepak, Anand, Shenbagaraj | Lyrics: Viveka

Nice theme song. Nothing special to it, may be good in the movie with the visuals as background score. 

2.75/5

So Jilla album/audio  meets the expectations it had before release. Its a perfect album for a mass masala film with something for everyone, may be Imman's best and complete work till date satisfying people from all walks of life. The only issue is whether the number of songs will affect the pace of the movie. I hates songs unnecessarily popping up here and there, especially in 2nd half & towards climax. Hope that is not the case and the songs only add to the totaility of the film.

Final Rating 3.5/5

Very Good

Dhoom 3 - All Songs Lyrics

 Dhoom 3 - All Songs Lyrics

Bande Hain Hum Uske

Aasmaan ki chhat pe
Hai apni duniya
Khilkhilati hai jisme
Hai apni khushiyan
Chaand ki chhalni liye
Taare chunte hain hum
Jaadui hai yeh jahaan
Hai nahi koi gham

Bande hain hum uske
Humpe kiska zor
Ummedon ke suraj
Nikle chaaron or
Iraadein hain fauladi
Himmati har kadam
Apne haathon kismat likhne
Aaj chale hain hum
Aasmaan ki chhat pe
Hai apni duniya
Khilkhilati hai jisme
Hai apni khushiyan
Sooraj ki palkon tale
Dhoop bunte hain hum
Jaadui hain yeh jahaan
Hain nahi koi gham

Bande Hain Hum Uske
Humpe kiska zor
Ummedon ke suraj
Nikle chaaron ore
Iraadein hain fauladi
Himmati har kadam
Apne haathon kismat likhne
Aaj chale hain hum

Dhoom 3 - Exclusive Music Review

Dhoom 3 - Music Review

Music - Pritam

Dhoom 3 Tracklist

1. Malang - Shilpa Rao, Siddharth Mahadevan

Was the first song promo to be released, and may be due to the hype regarding the song like 'most expensive song' etc the expectation was huge and the short 30sec promo couldn't satisfy it. Fell the song was an average track till the full version was heard, it catches on you instantly a sure shot hit track. Superb instrumentation by Pritam coupled by good vocals & singing of Shilpa & Siddarth. The way 'Dhoom' theme is mixed to the song in one potion was beautiful, cherry on top. With the breath taking visuals it will surely bowl everyone over.

3.5/5

2. Kamli – Sunidhi Chauhan

The first thing & mabe only thing one noticed when the video promo came out would have been the smoking hot Katrina Kaif and her amazing acrobatic moves. But give a listen to the full track (audio) Sunidhi has done an equally awesome job to lift an otherwise average song to new levels. As a song it may be average but Katrina & Sunidhi lifts makes it worth watching & listening

3/5

3. Tu Hi Junoon -Mohit Chauhan

Reminds us of Mohit's previous tracks, especially the Rockstar ones. Video Promo is not yet out, so can't talk about the impact it can create, but as a song felt it was average, even though Mohit's voice, as always, was soulful

2.75/5

4. Bande Hain Hum Uske - Shivam Mahadevan & Anish Sharma

The best song in the album. Superb music, very good vocals and overall a nice feel to the song. May not be an instant chart buster type, but for sure will last a longer time in memories for sure.

4/5

5. Dhoom - Title/Theme Songs & its various versions

The original tune has still got some elements left, whichever way you remix it, it will be a hit, may not be as great as the previous versions but still end up as a good mass stylish number.  3/5

The Tap song - Instrumental, once again a different attempt, might appeal more with the visuals and the tap dance choreography 2.75/5

Overture - Instrumental, no vocals - its Okay 2.5/5

Arabic - not comparable to the English version by Tata Young for 1st installment, Arabic mixing is good but lacks a punch 2.5/5

All in all Dhoom 3 is a much better album that what was expected of it, may not be as good as Dhoom 1 but for sure is better than Dhoom 2, which I didn't like that much.

Overall Rating: - 3/5

Good
