Kuruvi Audio Review

Disclaimer : First of all,I'm only a hater of Vijay's mediocre product that get overwhelming success! There is a difference. His refreshing albums Sachin and ATM have got my complete support and I encourage more along those lines from him. Please note that after every song’s review in this post , I have not added statements like – “ It will be a treat for Vijay fans “ , “ definitely a joy during first day first show “ etc because the pathetic taste that they boast of goes without saying. I have only looked at Kuruvi’s music album from a music lover’s perspective and not taken it’s commercial factors and story related situations into account !

Dandan darna – The only song that I could manage for it’s full length with inquisitiveness and only because I like all the jazz and hype behind entrance songs in Tamil Cinema and this one did not let me down much. The guitar, Dharani n Vidyasagar’s favourite instrument for entrance songs really plays its part in a slick foot tapping number. Everything is so clichéd about this song but you still like it because it’s the staple diet of Tamil Cinema.

Rating: 5/10


Happy New Year – Folk plus Hip Hop combo? Not bad to be honest. I love any form of Tamil Folk with the boosters and funk. Vathalaya Potendi remix for example was superb. In the same way, this is a good attempt, something different in a Vijay movie for a change. Sunidhi’s layer adds some spice to Yogi B’s ideas in this song!! Expect Vijay to dazzle in this song. Not his best number but certainly the one that they will market the most.

Rating: 5.5/10


Mozha Mozha nu Emma Emma : I switched off my headphones after 30 seconds into the song and lost all respect I had for Dharani and Vidyasagar ( forget Vijay , I never had anything positive for him ! ) . I’m sure you will be seeing this song in Sun Music often. Just like how we saw Appan Panna Thappula, Ippo illati Eppo and other cringy songs Vijay could boast of! A cheap attempt. This song is just a testament to the pathetic taste our Tamil Audience have. Great, Keep it up! Shame on you!

Rating: **** off!!

Palanadhu – I liked the start of this song a lot. It sounded like a Hey Shabba Hey Shabba remix with the Islamic touch to it and the lyrics related to the story little bit ( hero evading the villain etc ) . As the song went on, it didn’t fulfill the early promise and takes the usual route for a fast beat in the middle part but impresses you in its last note (Allah Allah!). The clichéd irritating Bangra comes in between to spoil the charm of this song but Vidyasagar’s voice really saves its grace.

Rating: 5/10

Thean Thean: Are we not fed up such stereotyped melodies? Even a beggar can sit and describe how this shot would be in the movie. Trisha dreaming into the sequence and dressing in half exposed saree in the alps while Vijay comes in his full sleeve shirt half tucked and jeans pant and half opens his mouth to lip for this song ! When will these people ever learn about elevating standards in Tamil Cinema? Even Perarasu produced a wonderful melody in “Kannum Kannum thaan Kalandachu “in Tirpachi but Dharani disappoints with a really ordinary number.
Rating: 4/10

Kuruvi Theme song – A very biased song that has been executed purely with the circumstances of the story in mind and with the right commercial values! Certainly not a unique cult theme song like say that of Billa with the electric guitar (that describes the mood and the feel so well). This is more like a half hearted attempt to get a theme song that will get Vijay fans crazy when he walks with winds at 100 miles per hour hitting his face ( thanks to Almonard fans ) and bombs blasting behind him . Simple lyrics but as always , with compulsive treatment , we would be made to stick to it like as if Vali wrote it.Pulsating enough to please the Vijay fans but once again, fails to set high standards amongst the current crop!

Rating: 5/10

Overall Verdict : This has got to be Dharani’s worst Music album to date. Even Edhirum Pudhirum had great numbers but Kuruvi has disappointed big time. Gilli was fantastic and it raised the standards for music in the typical formula films of today. Maybe a lesson for Dharani to not take Tamil Audience lightly but I don’t think he will learn it because there are loads of Vijay fans to eat this crock of mediocre music. Vidyasagar’s strengths have been badly neglected in this album and for the number 1 Star in Tamil Cinema to be endorsing such poor content in his movies is embarrassing to say the least !
