AR Rahman Comes Up With An Energetic And Enthusiastic Sound Track

The
grand
audio
launch
and
trailer
release
function
of

Ponniyin
Selvan
1
got
over
last
night.
The
much-awaited
event
was
delayed
a
bit
and
the
trailer
which
was
supposed
to
drop
by
9
pm,
came
by
much
later.
The
songs,
however,
were
made
available
on
Spotify
earlier.

‘Ponni
Nadhi’
and
‘Chola
Chola’
had
been
released
as
singles
before
the
audio
launch
event.
We
have
been
listening
to
the
two
songs
for
weeks
now.

‘Ponni
Nadhi’
has
been
sung
by
AR
Rahman,
AR
Raihanah,
and
Bamba
Bakiya
(late).
The
song
is
likely
to
be
an
introduction
to
Karthi
as
Vandhiyathevan,
spanning
across
his
journey
carrying
messages
to
the
royalty.

‘Chola
Chola’
has
been
sung
by
Sathya
Prakash,
Nakul
Abhyankar,
and
VM
Mahalingam.
The
song
is
a
victory
anthem,
featuring
Vikram
as
Karikalan.

Four
more
songs
dropped
yesterday
namely,
‘Alaikadal’,
‘Devaralan
Attam’,
‘Sol’,
and
‘Ratchasa
Maamane.’

‘Alaikadal’
is
likely
to
be
the
Poonguzhali
song.
Aishwarya
Leksmhi
plays
Poonguzhali
in
the
film.
The
bold
and
smart
boatwoman
surfs
the
seas
on
her
small
boat,
with
no
fear
of
the
ocean’s
threats.
She
has
this
song
that
she
sings
when
she
is
rowing
all
alone.
The
book
has
a
couple
of
verses
for
this
song,
starting
with
the
word
‘Alaikadal.’
The
rest
of
the
lyrics,
however,
differ,
but
that
does
not
change
how
soulful
the
song
is
to
the
ears.
Antara
Nandhi
has
sung
the
song
written
by
Siva
Ananth.

‘Deveralan
Attam’
has
been
sung
by
Yogi
Shekar,
and
written
by
Ilango
Krishnan,
who
has
written
the
two
singles
that
were
released.
The
song
has
high
energy
and
a
spooky
undertone
going
through
it.
The
song
should
be
from
a
sequence
where
a
play
is
staged.
The
sequence
has
a
violent
battle
scene
portrayed
on
stage
as
per
the
story.

‘Raatchasa
Maamaney’ has
been
sung
by
Shreya
Ghoshal,
Palakkad
Sriram,
and
Mahesh
Vinayakam.
The
song
has
a
peppy
prelude
and
Shreya
Ghoshal
sounds
as
fresh
as
she
sounded
decades
back.
The
song
is
said
to
be
for
a
play
based
on
the
Kamsan-Krishnan
story,
inside
the
main
plot.

‘Sol”
has
been
sung
by
Rakshita
Suresh,
and
written
by
Krithika
Nelson.
The
song
is
said
to
be
a
conversation
between
Kundhavai
and
Vanathi,
about
the
guy
of
Vanathi’s
dreams.
Trisha
plays
Kundhavai,
and
Sobhita
Dhulipala
as
Vanathi.

The
album
overall
manages
to
satisfy
the
thirst
for

Ponniyin
Selvan
1‘s
musical
identity.
The
pick
of
the
album
would
surely
be
‘Alaikadal.’
