Music review: Pazhassi Raja (Malayalam – Ilayaraja)

Posted by Karthik


Aalamadankala mythavanalle with its dramatic Islamic sound makes excellent use of chorus vocals, while Aadhiushas sandhya poothathivide takes a classic Ilayaraja tune to a newer level with that dreamy, expansive orchestration. Ambum kombum’s tribal sound takes on an interesting hue as the tune drifts into a pattern unique to Raja, while the short Mathanganana plays out straight with no frills. The soundtrack’s highlight rests in its enchanting melodies – the Sangeetha-Chandrasekar duet, Odathannil thaalam and Chithra’s atmospheric, Kunnathe konnakyum – the latter, in particular, has stupendous display of Raja’s simple, yet captivating rhythms. Pazhassi Raja has a thespian-styled, thematically rich soundtrack.

Keywords: Mammootty, Sarath Kumar, Padmapriya, Kanika

    Raja has done an excellent job. I really didn’t expect such an amazing album from him. What I pray is his effort should not be wasted by eliminating or cutting due to the length of the movie. Some good songs were not properly used and promoted in his previous movies.
    Best example is : Hey Ram.

    good one ….maybe its to do with the fact that the movie offers lot of scope for traditional music to be played ….

    Unrelated but..
    Why do I get the feeling that Anand Vaishnav of Buzz 18 seems to be doing a Pritam when it comes to ripping off music reviews!
    Your thoughts..

    Enjoyed it. A break from ILR’s recycling process..

    Read the news abt ILR’s comment on ONV.
    (abt the lyric of song ‘Adhi ushass’)

    OMG.Why ILR behaves likes this.?Does he think he is on the top of the world?

    I am sure whoever comes out of the theater after watching the movie they will be having at least two lines with them(..aarivide koorirulin madakal theerthu..arivide then kadann kooduthakarthu..)..

    Malayalees wont forgive this.

    Arunm and all others commenting on this issue. Have anyone saw the whole video of the speech?. I saw all kind reactions to this issue, just by reports from media, which are really out of context and deliberately attempting to raise a issue from some anecdotal info from ilayaraja. Please see the video. If you dont understand Tami, I can help.
