I'm about as crazy a Rahmaniac as they come, and you may check out my archives if you have doubts about it. (Shameless self-promotion of my blog.. I know! :P )
Right till my school days, I blindly accepted whatever Rahman composed as the best he's ever done. Including Parasuram! And I've gotten a flak for my blind devotion to the man. I think (rather, I hope!) I've become a little more sensible in the last 2 or 3 of years. And this period converges with the time Rahman's music has taken on a new dimension. His international exposure has done wonders for him, and it's probably now than any other time ever, that I could blindly stamp every composition of his as a product of sheer genius.
That's why the music of Godfather got this reaction from me. It's a cute album, I've already acknowledged that. It's got some really peppy songs, and that's probably increased my fondness for the album. But I still do think a coupla songs aren't up to Rahman's standards.
Kaatril is a neat melody by itself. But the kinda orchestration Rahman's used for it, with the pretty cliched tabla rhythm, didn't strike a chord in me. If I'd listened to this song for the first time on a radio, I wouldn't have said it's a Rahman song. It lacked his stamp of class. The "Hey Sahiba" chant, in my opinion, was pretty pedestrian for his standards.
I'm not a music aficionado. I don't know the intricacies of music. But I can sense a Rahman track a mile away, blindfolded. :) You may go ahead and blame my lack of knowledge, but I guess I'm still entitled to my opinion.
As for Kamma Kariyille, I loved it! That's why it's rated as my 3rd favourite song in the album.
Yikes. I should stop giving these long-winded justifications! Sorry :) and thanks if you've patiently read through!
cheers,
Harish
