Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya

The title means something like jump from heaven and come to me :) I came across this recent ARR album and the title song is clearly of the vellai pookkal genre. Mannipaaya is lovely too moving beautifully between Shreya and ARR.

Rajneeti is getting good reviews. Mora piya is classical khayaal fusion - I'm surprised how easy it is to intrigue the audience over and over again - Aadesh Sh. used the same stuff in tujh sang baandhi dor and baawri piya ki - in fact, I think mora piya is nowhere up there - perhaps ranbir and katrina jodi on screen makes the goosebumps persist. I'm yet to absorb the other two numbers - ishq barse and dhan dhan dharti.

I heard nice things about MM Kream in Vedam. I find only the last two tracks Vedam and E Chikati (the best one) worth listening. I seriously don't like heavy arrangements of the above kind whether it comes from ARR or anyone else.

and yes, I'll be at the ARR concert on June 12th.
