The grand audio launch of Lingaa has turned the global spotlights on this film and the album with five songs composed by AR Rahman has garnered good response. Behind Frames bring you an exclusive music review of Lingaa, directed by K.S. Ravikumar and produced by Rock Line Venkatesh. Sonakshi Sinha and Anushka Shetty have played the female lead roles with Dev Singh Gill, Santhanam, Ilavarasu, Karunakaran, Vijayakumar, Jagapathi Babu and many others in important characters.
1. Oh Nanba
Vocals: SP Balasubramaniam, Aaryan Dinesh Kanaga
Lyrics: Vairamuthu
The rhythmic pattern might sound little similar to ‘Thulluvadho Ilamai’, an old song, but the punch goes with SPB voice and Magudi Magudi fame Aaryan for a rocking title number of Rajnikanth.
2. En Mannavva
Vocals: Srinivas, Aditi Paul
Lyrics: Vairamuthu
It’s a period romantic duet song filmed on Rajnikanth and Sonakshi Sinha. Decorously crooned by Srinivas, all time apt voice for Rajnikanth and Aditi Paul.
3. Indiane Vaa
Vocals: A.R. Rahman
Lyrics: Vairamuthu
Inspiring track from AR Rahman and the lines by Vairamuthu are convincingly stupendous. It might gain more response with the visuals with accordance to the situation of where it occurs. A leader’s call to young generation of India.
4. Mona Gasolina
Vocals: Mano, Neeti Mohan, Tanvi Shah
Lyrics: Karky
Wow! And for those who though the songs are either classical or motivating kind of numbers, ARR along with Mano bring you something you might have not imagined for a Rajnikanth film. Of course, even Rajnikanth would have not envisaged such a rocking number from ARR and Mano.
5. Unmai Oru Naal Vellum
Vocals: Haricharan
Lyrics: Vairamuthu
Finally, to end with the album, Haricharan offers an emotionally binding number Unmai Oru Naal Vellum that sounds close on the paradigms of ‘Vidukathaiya’ from Muthu, the same combination of Rajnikanth-Rahman-KS Ravikumar.
Maybe, you might not feel the album of ‘Lingaa’ is as powerful as the previous collaborations of Rajnikanth-KS Ravikumar-Rahman-Vairamuthu that happened in ‘Muthu’, ‘Padaiyappa’ and ‘Kochadaiiyaan’. But it has certain commercial elements blend together that will have its toast of acclaims on the screens.
Verdict: ARR’s back on experiment with commercial album is good.
Rating: 3/5
