Rhythm is a true masterpiece by Rahman. My favorite is Anbae Idhu (Sky)... which you've not mentioned above.
I just used two gems in my personal videos... have a look at them... hope u enjoy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIgXyDm-nEY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5Ga8gbFsPY Arijit 2009/12/18 ARRvind <[email protected]> > > > Movie : Rhythm > > Music : A R Rahman > > Cast : Arjun , Meena, Jyothika , Ramesh Aravind, Lakshmi, Nagesh > > Lyrics : Vairamuthu > > Direction : Vasanth > > These days, seldom does a movie and its music captivates us > because of its sheer simplicity! "Rhythm" definelty falls under such > category. The music and movie both moves like a sweet breeze not tampering > upon each other(except "Aiyyo Pathikicchi" though!). While the movie is > based on the realistic challenges that people face while setting a steady > course for their lives, the songs of this movie is based upon the > quintessential 5 elements of this planet. All the 5 elements, viz. Land, > Water, Fire, Air and Sky, are showcaused so perfectly in the songs that > makes the listener go awestruck and dance in reverence! > > > Nadhiye Nadhiye (Water) ---> Unni Menon and Chorus > > "Dheem Tanana Dheem Tanana Dheem Tananaa..." thus begins a > swooning and swaying music in the voice of ever refreshing Unni Menon. The > water gushing sounds in this song makes anyone imagine oneself bathing in a > mighty river and enjoying the swim. Vairamuthu's comparisons between a woman > and river are plain historic and can't be rewritten by anyone! His lyrics > goes above par excellence which deserves every accolades and awards. The > female chorus hums and gushes even as Unni Menon describe their beauties. A > stunning composition by Rahman ji which registers inside all music lovers > for many years to come.! > > > Thaniye Thanandhaniye (Land) ---> Shankar Mahadevan > > A song based on the Land which talks about its > patience and stability to with-hold the burden. As usual, its a tailor made > song for Shankar Mahadevan who also makes his appearance in the video > matching some steps to the tunes of ARR. I personally liked only the > pallavi(Mukhda) part of the song. I somehow felt the Charanam(Antara) looses > its fizz in the middle and later bounce back to its glory. The same song was > totally rejuvenated by Rahman sir in the hindi song "Nachley.." sung by > Daler Mehendi for the movie Lakeer. The interludes of this song has some > great instrumental pieces which pushes one to an imaginary world. > > Aiyyo Pattikicchhi (Fire) ---> Udit Narayan , Vasundhara Das > > The only element which appears to have added for commercial/ > box office compulsories in this movie. Audio is quite appealing and sounds > very seducting. Vairamuthu binds in the passion of love with a wild fire and > writes some daring words like "..Neruppai Neruppal Anaippom Vaa...." . > Picturised on Ramya Krishnan and Raju Sundaram, the visuals are bright red > flames all over. Udit Narayan, as usual butchers the language and yet > sounds like a perfect match for the song. Nothing to tell about Vasundhara > Das, its her forte`. The flute(may be Navin) piece is the most appealing > part in the interludes and so is Vasundhara's "tatarataaaa..." hummings. > > > Kaatre En Vasal (Wind) ---> Unni Krishnan, Kavita Krishnamurthy Subramaniam > > > > > > > > >
