Vana you're right. On any album, you can expect a couple of good tracks, a couple of terrible tracks and some mediocre tracks. But this album is overall great. All the tracks are cool and the whole album has raised my expectations for yuvans next album.

Sorry for the delay., Here is My 2 Paise(?) review
Dheena
MD : Yuvan Shankar Raja
Lyrics : Vaali, Vijay Bharathy
1. Kaathal Website
Shankar Mahadevan, Harini, Yuvan Shankar Raja, Timmy
Vaali
No guess work required, A dance number with all
possible Thanglish lyrics., But the surprise, is yuvan's perfection, He
hasn't missed out even a single thing incomplete in the whole song,
Orchestrisation is great, Tune is really opt for the mood and above all
Shankar Mahadevan and Harini have done some real work there., The Chorus(?)
portion sung by Yuvan and Timmy throughout the song, is also a nice
addition.,
Vaali started writing Thanglish stuff long back, But I guess this is
one of those songs, where he got a real good mix. It has shades from
ThirukkuRaL (Hotbox-il vaiththa Food uNpathillai, ini vaazhvil entha
naaLum., En uLLam engum nee ninDRirukka, unai ushNam thaakkak kuudum),
good choice of words (ivaL kanni alla, oru kaNini enDRu Bill Gates-aip
pola nesi), usage of latest news (Enai meetkath thootharum illai, Nee
cassette tharuvathaRkillai - Everything that will make a young fellow feel
@ home., Chumma words poRukkip pottathu pola illai, Vaali has done some
homework for this song, If he is doing all these at the age of >60, He
deserves a salute ! :-)
The only mistake in this song that I would like to point-out is,
Harini's pronunciation of the word 'KaNini' (Computer)., it should be ka-
3 suzi Ni and then 2 suzi ni., she sings it like 'Kanini' - both 2 suzi 'ni's.,
If sukvinder is doing it, It may be ignored, Not with a tamil singer like
Harini.
This song has everything that a big Hit needs, I bet you can see this
in top position of all charts soon !
2. Sollaamal Ennai
HariHaran
Vijay Bharathy
Remember 'MeghangaL Ennaith thottup ponathuNdu'
from AmarkkaLam ? This song is set in a similar situation.,
Recently, I started feeling something good about HariHaran, This guy
really does something extra - He is aware of the hero., When he sings for
Vijay, you can visualise Vijay., If the song is for somebody else, say
Ajith, He is a different singer all together. same is the case with this
song., Basically Yuvan has a slow melodic tune and Hariharan has taken it
to new heights., High Pitch-la leesaa thiNaRiyirukkiRaar, But he manages
with the true feelings expressed in his voice., I would rate this song @
par with 'Iravaa Pagalaa' from Poovellaam Keettup Paar., Yuvan has done
the magic once again.
Debut(?) Vijay Bharathy has tried his best, 'Kaathal irukkum
Bayaththinilthaan KadavuL Boomikku Varuvathillai., MeeRi avan, Boomi
vanthaal, Dhaadiyudanthaan alaivaan Veedhiyilee' - Punnakai varavazaikkum
varikaL., Overall, lyrics are decent., Good Job.
Again one note about Pronunciation - 'Amilam Arunthi vitteen' enDRa
varikaLai, HariHaran eethoo seythu vittaar., Atleast in songs like this,
you have to be careful with these stuff., Illainnaa rasikka mudiyaama
poyidum.,
3. Vathikkuchchi
S P Balasubramanian
Vaali
IMO, the best song in this album.,
Nothing special about the situation, 'Boomi ithu vaadakai veedu,
purincukittu kudiththanam paaru'nnu PazaniBharathi paadinaaree, antha
maathiri Hero sings a song with lot of simple thaththuvams., He wants
somebody to enjoy life without any worries., AvLoothaan., But Yuvan has
given an excellent song. Tune has lot of flow., Almost the whole song is
sung in HiggggghPitch., Yuvan's usage of instruments also deserves a
mention here, It looks like he can make even average tunes into great
songs, In this case, it is a great tune and no need to mention the
results.
After listening to this song more than 20 times now, I would like to
give full credits to All the three - Yuvan, SPB and Vaali, SPB has done
this song without any flaws - New singers should learn from him,
absolutely no mistakes in his tamil uchcharippu, Even with 'kochchaith
thamizh' words like 'Urasara varaiyilee' ... Similarly Vaali's simple, But
Powerful words become another strength of the song - 'MuyaRchi Irunthaa
samayaththilee, Muthugu Thaangum Imayaththaiyee' - My facourite., 'Irukkum
kaNNeeraiyum, Eeeththam nee poottedu, azavaa ingee vanthoom., Aaadu, Paadu,
aananthamaa !!'
4. En Nenjil
Harish Raghavendar
Vijay Bharathy
Another good thanglish song., Oru nursery rhyme
pola thuLLalaana tune., Harish Raghavendar nallaa paadiyirukkaar., His
voice suits the song very much., However I have a feeling that TFM started
using this good singer for these kind of songs instead of melodies and/or
duets., The same is done to Unni Krishnan by Deva., Harish Should be
careful.
Nothing great to mention about VijayBharathy's lyrics.,
5. Nee Illai EnDRaal
Murugan Iyer, Bhavatha
Vaalee
Hmm, One more reason to praise YSR the MD.,
Just listen to this song and tell me whether it sounds similar to ANY of
the composers in TFM till date .... I bet you can't ., YSR has found his
style and he is doing it really great .. the only thing ahead is, to make
this popular and become a trendsetter in TFM., YSR has the potential and
he can do it., I have no doubts.
Iyerkku viththiyaasamaana oru kural, thats what this song needs., Oru
maathiri Rough and Raw tone-la poonthu kalakkiyirukkaar., Bhavatha(rini)
gives him good company. Vaali-kku intha maathiri songs thoosu, oothi
thaLLiyirukkaar., Sample - 'Nadu Raaththiriyil, Oru pooththiriyil
OLi nadanam Aadum pozuthu'., 'Inthak kaathal vanthaalee, Antha
Harichchandaran kooda, pala poykaL solvaanee ingee'., :-)
My rating(s) Album : 9/10 ** YSR : 9.9/10 :-)
Had a chance to watch 'Poovellaam keettup paar' yesterday., The piece of BGM
YSR plays when Vijay Kumar and Nasser are in fight and the song 'Pooththathu
Pooththathu Manathu' are my pick(s) of the movie., After the movie, I played
songs from Dheena., Now I strongly believe, YSR has every reason to become a
real Vaarisu to IR. - If he picks movies with care - ignoring all trash and
continue the good work for the next 2 or 3 years., Looking at his age and the
potential, Nothing can stop him.,
I remember reading that ARR was the original MD for Dheena., Due to some time
restrictions, They came to YSR and he readily accepted the movie., A bit of luck
has played in his life and he has used it to the greatest. Well done YSR !
Eagerly awaiting for YSR's future albums.,
NagaS
PS : 1. All IMHO
2. According to some music stores in
chennai which I personally visited, Dheena cassette is selling good., TIPS has
done some good advertising for their second project also (First is 'Minnalee').
3. Listened to KarthikRaja's 'VaanchiNaathan'
- Heavy disappointment for me., Ofcourse, it has a very good number by KJY., But
all other songs are below average IMO, Any reviews ?
