A source close to the production unit says, "The makers decided that January end will be apt for the release. Some more work is still pending and they don't want to rush the post-production work. Hence, the release has been pushed to
a later date." Meanwhile, the audio and trailer of the film have been launched.
Songs Review
The
songs of the much-awaited movie "Yennai Arindhaal" was released on
New Year's Eve. As expected from the Harris Jayaraj-Gautham Menon duo, the
songs of the movie have been received well by audience and critics.
Harris Jayaraj has come out with an album of different
styles of music. Though some of the musical instances gives deja vu feel of his
previous songs, they are soothing. Some of the songs are melancholic, some
nostalgic and some packed with a lot of energy. The new album has some
sure-shot chart busters too.
The Ajith starrer has total of seven songs, which are written by
Thamarai and Vignesh Sivan and sung by Khareshma Ravichandran, Sunitha Sarathy,
Emcee Jesz, Karthik, Benny Dayal, Mahathi, Abhishek, Devan Ekambaram, Mark
Thomas, Gana Bala, Vijay Prakash, Aalaap Raaju, Krishna Iyer, Priya
Subramanian, Velmurugan and Chinmayi.
The movie stars Trisha Krishnan, Anushka Shetty, Arun Vijay,
Parvathy Nair and Vivek..
Read the reviews of "Yennai Arindhaal" songs by critics:
“Yaen Ennai" - Singers: Kharesma Ravichandran, Sunitha
Sarathy; Lyrics: Thamarai
"The album
opens up in a typical HJ note with loads of western instruments in the first 70
seconds. This track is a diluted version of 'Thoodhu Varuma' from 'Kaakha
Kaakha'. Albeit the similarities, the song does carry its interesting moments
in the second interlude via saxophones, and that is the only solace in this
rather uninteresting tune." - Indiaglitz
"With gypsy
like strumming of the guitars to set the rhythm, Sunithy Sarathy and
Khareshma's quirky yet open-throat singing sound different and appealing. The
sax solo in the BGM is truly international. Take the time and hit the pods with
this."- Behindwoods
"Mazhai Vara
Pogudhae" - Singers: Emcee Jesz, Karthik; Lyrics: Thamarai
"Harris Jayaraj had called his favorite singer to croon for one of his stock tunes. Karthik had given his best once again for HJ, but the Deja-Vu feel marred the song big time. The song gets a bit interesting in the second stanza and somehow touches the finish line without much impact."- Indiaglitz
"This is evergreen Harris for you. Karthik's honeyed singing,
strong features of R 'n' B, acoustic strumming and synthesized interludes. The
harmonies in the background are a true delight. A jazzed up melody with a brief
rap portion. The pop like beats, blues like guitar and the prog element reminds
the Toto days."- Behindwoods
"Unakkenna
Venum Sollu" - Singers: Benny Dayal, Mahathi; Lyrics: Thamarai
"It
is so refreshing to hear Benny Dayal in a melody and his association with
Mahathi is destined to give you an ethereal feeling. This track might not work
right away, but it will occupy your playlist for some time. The chorus part and
the glorious, 'Oru Velli Kolusu Pola.., Intha Boomi Sinungum Keezha..,
Aniyaatha Vairam Pola.., Antha Vaanam Minungum Meala..' are too
beautiful."- Indiaglitz
"Using Benny
Dayal for an almost pathos is a killer move. Backed by very strong chords, mild
arrangements and evenly paced rhythms, this song can instantly bring a smile on
your face. Chorus portions are soulful and the lyrics are a noteworthy
experimentation." ― Behindwoods
"Yennai
Arindhaal" - Singers: Abhishek, Devan Ekambaram, Mark Thomas; Lyrics:
Thamarai
"The composer makes use of the BGM served for the
teaser as a prelude for this title track and that assures a winner right away.
The lyrics are bit preachy and Devan Ekambaram has delivered them with a unique
flavor. This track could well become the best opening song for Ajith. The tempo
of the song is cleverly maintained with electronic beats. On the flip side, one
could feel that the length of the song could have been reduced to 3.30-4 mins
than prolonging the final 2 mins with the same BGM. It almost gives an
impression that Harris wanted to extract too much of juice from a sugar
cane." ― Indiaglitz
"The title track is all pumped-up with the dub-step effects,
dainty EDM loops and not forgetting Thamarai's dashing lyrics. The highs and
lows in the song are haunting and totally new. Harris has experimented with the
tune progression and also has positioned the composition with multiple layered
instrumentation. The interludes are tripping and Dj's delight."
― Behindwoods
"Adhaaru
Adhaaru" - Singers: Gana Bala, Vijay Prakash; Lyrics: Vignesh Shivan
"The
much expected and promoted song of the album, which was already released as a
single track. The song doesn't carry the usual Gautham – Harris combo fizz.
Vijay Prakash has tried his best to inject more energy to this already tried and
tested tune and Gaana Bala joins him in the regular intervals to up the ante.
The chorus part in the first 45 seconds and the interludes a little different,
but even that fails to spark the festive mood." ― Indiaglitz
"Starting with
the lively chorus, the song is ruled by powerful singing and peppy beats. The
rhythm breakdowns in the interludes are meant to evoke thunderous response. A
nice casual gaana." ― Behindwoods
"Maya
Bazaar" - Singers: Aalaap Raaju, Krishna Iyer, Priya Subramanian,
Velmurugan; Lyrics: Thamarai
"Harris has hired the services of 4 singers to evoke 4 different moods, and this experiment has paid off to some extent. The track carries 4 patterns and all the singers have delivered a neat performance. The famous, 'Kalayana Samayal Saadham' song gets reworked with drums and Nadaswaram in the second half of the song. The track is a near perfect 'Jugalbandhi'." ― Indiaglitz
"French house,
light classical, folk-rock, ballet and what not. This is an ambitious blend of
genre specific portions catering to a montage of sequences. Like the title, the
song is one stop bazaar for all types of music" ― Behindwoods
"Idhayathai
Yedho Ondru" - Singers: Chinmayi; Lyrics: Thamarai
"Chimayi
rounds off the album with a serene melody. The track is wonderfully backed by
piano and flutes. The magic happens in the last minute where Harris brings in
guitars and pauses for a while before letting the flute dominate once
again." ― Indiaglitz
"Grand piano to
substantiate Chinmayi's soft voice, this melancholic melody is a clean winner.
A female take on the Unakenna venum sollu version, this track is rich in the
notations."― Behindwoods
