Bheema - Audio Review

Getting Harris Jayaraj's music for a movie is like getting mom's food for lunch. You know it would be something similar something you had before, but still there is something unique and satisfactory in having it. 'Bheema' audio is just an example of the above statement. Every other song will make you think "Oh, it sounds like that one" but ultimately, you will thoroughly enjoy each of them.

The album begins with "Oru Mugamo" by Krish and Naresh Iyer. On the lines of "Karka Karka" from Vettayadu Vilayaadu, it speaks about the hero and his qualities. A very peppy intro song in Harris style. Both singers have sung in style and the full throated rendition sets in a great mood for the rest of the album.
Up next is "Mudhal Mazhai" by Hariharan and Mahathi. An excellent, excellent number that is my personal favorite. Especially the humming in the prelude and at the end is amazing. Yet another meaningless hum from Harris but sounds very very good. And the song is simply superb with both singers doing full justice to it. Mahathi's outstanding voice gives one a feeling of really getting wet in first rain while listening.

"Rangu Rangamma" is a folk based song something like "Andankaaka" in Anniyan. But there is nothing special here except for lot of percussions that reminds you of some temple festival in villages. It would have been better if Vijay Yesudas had sung it with some femlae singer. The combination of Kailash Kher and Swarnalatha sounded odd to me. :P The interlude music and the orchestration was very much like "Raakamma kayya thattu" from Thalapathy.

"Ragasiya Kanavugal" is a divine number that reminds you one of those misty romantic winter mornings. Yet another beautiful song rendered beautifully by Hariharan. Madhushree however is as usual at her best - pronouncing Tamil words like Hindi words and killing Tamil. I wonder why she is made to sing again and again such beautiful songs inspite of having so many talented singers in the industry. Anyways, the song stands out, thanks to usage of lots of typical carnatic instrumental sounds in orchestration.

Karthik effortlessly sings "Siru paarvayaale" with Harini for support. Another peppy number with nice melody. The Arabian style humming in the second interlude is quite odd and distracting from the song's flow. Otherwise, its another good number in the album.

The surprise package is at the last. "Enadhuyire" features Airtel Super Singer Nikhil Mathews along with Sadhana Sargam, Soumya Raoh and Chinmayee. Nikhil does an amazing job with his soft rendition. His deep voice and its quality adds a lot of feel to the song and makes a mark in spite of having relatively more experienced singers along side. The female leads do a great job too.

All in all, an album worth a buy and Worth a listen. The songs are as powerful as Bheema. :-)
