SANTHOSH PANDIT's KRISHNANUM RADHAYUM AUDIO REVIEW

KRISHNANUM RADHAYUM

AUDIO REVIEW

സന്തോഷ് പണ്ഡിറ്റ് രാത്രികള്‍  പകലുകലാക്കി പകലുകള്‍  ഗാത്രികളാക്കി
ഏകാന്തതയുടെ നിശബ്ദതയില്‍ നിന്നും പെറുക്കി എടുത്ത ഈ ഗാനങ്ങള്‍ക്ക് പണ്ടെങ്ങോ കേട്ട് മറന്ന ഏതെങ്കിലും ഗാനങ്ങളുമായി സാമ്യം തോന്നിയാല്‍  അത് തികച്ചും yaadrushchikam മാത്രം
   
After watching Oh Priye & Anganavadiyile Teachere songs, I was waiting for other six songs in the movie KRISHNANUM RADHAYUM featuring SANTHOSH PANDIT, the one man army.

After listening to the album, what I felt is Santhosh Pandit has some good music sense & he should concentrate on that area in future. I'm not going to comment about his acting as the movie is yet to be released.

A normal music listener may find these songs much better than any other malayalam songs in recent times.

LYRICS, MUSIC : SANTHOSH PANDIT

TRACK 1
OH PRIYE O PRIYE.....
SINGERS : SANTHOSH PANDIT & CHORUS

Don't listen to the lyrics. Just listen to music. Lyrics of this one is full of stuffs related to marriage - first night, marriage arrangement, ornaments, food(sadya)... Flute part used in this song is Excellent. This one is the best track in the CD & is already topping the charts with its video with "terrific" performance(including moonwalk) by SANTHOSH PANDIT & a small girl in lead. WHATEVER, the music is an entertaining one.


TRACK 2
ANGANAVADIYILE TEACHERE....
SINGERS : NO IDEA



The video of this one too released on youtube. This one too entertains with hummable music. Don't mind lyrics of this one too. Its full of nursery school stuff & food stuff. Another good number.


TRACK 3
MA MA MA MA MA MA MAAYAAVI.........(Video yet to be released)
SINGERS : SANTHOSH PANDIT & NIMMY(Asianet IDEA STAR SINGER fame)

This one is the fast number in the album & is sure to become a HIT song of the year. TERRIFIC LYRICS & fast music which you may feel like you have heard it somewhere before. The song may remind us of Vaaleduthaal Angakali song of MeeshaMadhavan. Don't just blame his song just because it's performed by Santhosh Pandit. If this kind of song appears in a Dileep movie saying like its for kids, the very same so called audience/critics would have accepted saying like the song is for kids & it does what it was supposed to. In my opinion a song which has all ingredeients to become a chartbuster.


TRACK 4
RADHE KRISHNA....
SINGER : VIDHU PRATHAP

The song had a promising start like a devotional album. But once the pallavi part starts, you'll realise that its just a rehash of Ouseppachan's music, Mounam Swaramayi in movie AAYUSHKAALAM which Ouseppachan himself rehshed in Kunchacko Boban starrer Mullavalliyum Thenmaavum in Chittukkuruvi song. Coming to anupallavi, many won't have listened to Sogasuchuda song of Mahesh Babu-Trisha starrer telugu flm SAINIKUDU. It's the rehash of the same song. If you can forget these stuffs, then the song is a good one with good lyrics.


TRACK 5
GOKULANATHANAYI.........
SINGERS : SANTHOSH PANDIT, BHAVYA, PRASEETHA CHORUS

The music is a blend of folk & modern music. The very same folk music has been used by great SILSILA HARISHANKAR in his Yanthrangalingane song titled as Yanthrappaattu. But the flute music used here is superb. Lyrics too is a better one. With video, iy may become a hummable one.


TRACK 6
SNEHAM SANGEETHAM.....
SINGER : M.G.SREEKUMAR

The song has slight resemblence to some christian devotional album songs & Paalappoovithalil song in movie THIRAKKADHA in pallavi. Lyrics of the song has good pallavi & not so good anupallavi & charanam. Anupallavi & Charanam music has resemblance to Ilayaraja's music in ManiRathnam movie ANJALI.


TRACK 7
DEHIYILLA....
SINGER : M.G.SREEKUMAR

This one is the sad song in the album. Bad lyrics in pallavi is the feature of this song. Pallavi of this song make you feel whether this one has beats sync problem with orchestra. But the lyrics of anupallavi & charanam was surprisingly better. You may feel like you are listening to some Yuvan Shankar Raja music.Much better sad love song lyrics of recent times(except Pallavi).


TRACK 8
GURUVAYOORAPPA....
SINGER : K.S CHITHRA

This song is another slow number in the album, a typical devotional album with good lyrics. Music in pallavi has slight resemblance with Ouseppachan's music in Chiriyoonjal song of Kunchacko Boban starrer CHANDAMAAMA. Overall a good one.


VERDICT : WORTH A LOOK

Don't approach this album as a SANTHOSH PANDIT movie album after watching Oh Priye & Anganavadiyile song. If someone who has not seen those videos may find these songs as much better songs in recent times & hummable ones though tunes are rehashed one at parts.

On repeat hearing you'll like these songs.
