Dasavatharam Music - First Impressions

Posted on Apr 27, 2008 under Friends, General, Movies | 14 Comments

I can’t resist this post even after i decided not to write anything about cinema .I still has this question in my head “What Jackie chan has to do with this movie?”.I am amazed with the publicity stunt done for this film.Already there are lot of rumors about the budget of this film which estimates around 120-200 crores.But why Jackie?Does it make any sense to the average tamil film fan who look for a entertainer for this summer holiday?Is the presence of jackie will shoot up the audio sales?I don’t find any logical relation for this rather than a simple publicity ,which doesn’t need him(Jackie) as kamal and BigB who was another guest for that function have enough to pull the crowd’s attention.Let’s leave this, it’s all “Oscar Ravichandran’s” money for which he has all the freedom to spent.These are some of the tit bits about the film.

 

  • The timeline starts from 12 AD and travels to present.
  • Several heroines and technicians were sacked during the course of project.
  • For the first three minutes they have spent around 3crores.
  • Kamal did the vocal for all the 10 roles which includes two female leads.
  • Malika Sherawat is again in Tamil for an item number.

Today i got the songs and let me give my first views .I will rate this music as a below par quality for a film which has created tons and tons of hype for which budget is more than 100 crores.”Katai Thirakum Savi than Katru” is the pick of mine,with Kamal’s deceiving baritone this stand out first,but the remix is just a fast forward ,in which Himesh kills the little bit of Tamil left out by “Udit Narayanan” .Udit Narayanan will be the happy man as now he stand second in the tamil language killers list .One particular line is “Veelvathu yarhinum valvathu nadakatum ” ,i don’t find any good words to praise his excellency.”Kallai matum kandal” by Hariharan is a good song for both it’s music and lyrics.”Mukunda Mukunda” by Sadana Sargam is a good devotional song.Kamal did a bit of mimicry at the end of this song like an old lady,don’t miss that.”Kaa Karupanukum” song has good beats but tamil lyrics were not good as the english lyrics,simply having english lyrics would have been a good job.Watch out for mallika for this song on Big Screen.”Ulaga nayagane” is a BIS marked masala song having nothing more or less .This is just for the sake of praising kamal’s intelligence .All 10 roles dance along with K.S in this song.

All the song’s seems to be situational except the mallika’s item number.So music won’t have much impact in deciding the films result .I expected a kamal film as this is his own story,but the movie seems to be a K.S film which is good for the Producer.So i feel this movie won’t have much complex screenplays but it will entertain you well.Rather than expecting a “Virumandi” from Kamal expect a “PanchaTandiram” this time.

Note:I will rate Kuruvi’s song better than this, as it was what i expected in a vijay film.who knows kuruvi might be a super duper hit!
