I admire and enjoy some of the good songs written by Thamarai. She has given
some memorable pieces like "Suttum Velli Sudarey" from Ghagni, "Kangal irandal"
from Subramanyapuram and so many others. The list is pretty long.
But my overall impression is that the lyrics in VTV was kind of average lyrics
(or below average).
(1) Hosanna and Ommna Penne - Both these songs can be remembered without any
lyrics, because of the catchy tune, main tag-word selected for the songs.
(2) Vinnaithaandi varuvaya and Manipaaya - Better lyrics with good flow of
words in both these songs. Definitely promising.
(3) Anbil Avan : Okay lyrics (most of the lyrics consists of rehashed marriage
oaths which is a cool idea).
(4) Kannukul Kannai : Sounds more like a dialogue rather than a poem.
(4) Since I don't understand Malayalam, I cannot say much about Aromale lyrics.
But from the translation that appeared in this forum, the lyrics sounds quite
impressive and imaginative.
She has definitely struggled to write the songs for VTV. Perhaps she needs to
work more with ARR Sir to understand his style of composition and tunes to give
much better lyrics.
Sorry for being little bit harsh with my review, but I expect more memorable
lyrics Thamarai (especially with ARR Sir).
