Uliyin Osai`s music-The maestro in serious work-

The new film from director Ilanivel feauturing Vineeth has hero may not have got a cast comprising of popular stars. But it sure has someone in its crew who can elevate a film far beyond its limited horizons using the music and the background scores, of course the talk is about the three time national award winning maestro Ilaiyaraja. He sure is back into some serious business in this film and has churned out songs at his classical best which reminds one of the evergreen Sindubairavi days.

The songs have the typical classical with the Ilaiyaraja stamp in it. It has been given to the most appropriate renderers of classical music of this era. Ilaiyaraja does not miss Yesudas in this album, a apt replacement seems to be have been found in Sreeram Parthasarathy, Ilaiyaraja and Sreeram Parthasarathy combine in Aganthayil and Kalil Uyir songs with ilaiyaraja giving a pleasing start and soothing interludes, along with Sreeram rendering the amazingly refreshing songs not found in this era of music that fails to go beyond the major and minor scales of western music.

Alaiyellam cholavazha is another song which reminds us of the songs picturised on rural life during the 1980`s. Madhu balakrishnan gives the perfect topping for this sweet number. Kalathai Vendra is another song sung by Sreeram parthasarathy with Bhavatharini giving him company, the song with excellent bass patterns is extremely pleasing to hear, Raja`s gift to his daughter.

Overall an album which shows to the world that if music with class and classical music is needed to be composed for films there is no mortal in this world other than Ilaiyaraja to do it.
