My view of Ada - A musical journey by AR Rahman
I think ARR has thrown a challenge to all reviewers with this album. Listening to the songs one gets a feeling that ARR is trying to convey ‘Ok. Now review this.’ I have been trying to write my opinion for quite some time. I have never struggled this much

Jodha Akbar is one album that I have been waiting for quite sometime. UTV’s delays didn’t help much either. There are totally 7 songs of which, two of them are instrumentals. We all know how much ARR pays attention to finer details. In this album he takes these minor things to an all new level. Usually people complain that one doesnt get to hear the lyrics properly in ARR’s songs. They must listen to Jodha Akbar. In fact he seems to have used so many instruments but no where the lyrics drown in the music 
Its a pleasure to listen to such a wonderful album.

Jodha Akbar audio was initially supposed to be released by Big Music. But later, UTV the producers of the movie decided to come up their own music label UTV Music. Jodha Akbar was supposed to be the first album from that label.
The audio CD was supposed to be released by 21st of october and it got released yesterday in India, and on thursday in the US. By the time the CD’s were in stores over here almost every mp3 site on the world had/has the songs. Best part is the reason they gave for delay in India. The CD’s had some manufacturing defect it seems. Now why will someone buy the CD, if it is available online?
I downloaded the songs on Friday and have been listening to it non stop. Will buy the audio CD as well. Detailed review sometime next week
If someone wants to know, how NOT to launch a music album please contact UTV Music. Completely unprofessional from such a big and powerful group!

Have you listened to the song ‘Naaka Mukka’? Long since I heard such a dappankuthu song. God knows what laari sonaa or naaka mukka mean?
Thanks to Vishy for the song.
BTW, I have been observing that off late lots of intro songs have the word ‘da’. Yaara paathu da solraanga indha heroes ellam? Why only ‘da’? Why not di? Am not referring to XY chromosome calling XX chromosome ‘di’. I am talking about same sex ‘da di’. Guess it was all started by the great man with dhaadi ‘vaada en machi vazhakkai bajji’. I protest this sexist attitude. Its very bad. I hereby demand that Kolangal title track be changed, and Devayani sing using ‘di’ ‘di’ ‘di’.
P.S. Naaka Mukka song is from the movie, Kaadhalil Vizhundhen.
Watching videos on N95 is real fun. Thanks to this site, one can actually download youtube videos in the 3GP or AVI format for their mobile phones. In this way, you can have your own personal oliyum oliyum. It really helps when you are traveling and have some 2 or 3 hours in the middle, when you dont know what to do. Check out Vixy. Its good. Oh yeah, you can also download just the audio from the youtube link in mp3 format.
I was actually waiting for Star Plus to telecast the Delhi concert, to write a post on it. Looks like it might take some more time! Anyways, here are some observations from the concert. Continue Reading »
Orkut is acting Ramadoss. Sorry, acting crazy. I get notifications that someone has scrapped, but there is no scrap. Silly orkut.
Yesterday I was watching this movie ‘Chathriyan’. Its a moive starring two of my favorites ‘Captain’ and Banupriya. But this movie got released before Captain became Gaptun. So there is no fun. On the contrary, it is a treat for all Banupriya fans. Do you like the song ‘maalayil Yaaro manadhoadu pesa’? It is one of my alltime favorites.

Azhagiya Thamizh Magan Audio - My views
Azhagiya Thamizh Magan features Vijay and Shriya Saran. The movie is produced by Appachan and directed by Bharathan. AR Rahman has composed the music, with Vaali, Na.Muthukumar, Thamarai and Pa.Vijay penning the lyrics.
There are totally 6 songs in this album, including a remix of yesteryear hit ‘ponmagaL vandhaaL’. One thing that struck me when I saw the track listing, was the number of new singers ARR has used in this album. Luckily, all of them sound like Tamilians (Pronounciation is good).
