Review of Vidiyum Munn



Vidiyum Munn is an interesting musical adventure not only for its music but also its lyrics. As a follow up to "Vanakkam Vazha Vaikkum Chennai" I think the music director Girishh has presented a musical score which is worthy of his musical expertise and exposure to different forms of music.

The female version of Theeradha Mounam is hauntingly beautiful creating a melancholic mood. In contrast, the male track is brisk and strives to spring hope. Both the songs, require a few listens before you fall in love with them but soon the lyrics get tangled in your head. The stirring background music and the wonderful voice of Tanvi and Girishh is a true treat.

Another song that I particularly loved was Vidyadha Iravu by Girishh. I felt that the song was refreshing, with the composer featuring a lively solo. I confess, the track demands some patience from the listener but rewards you with wonderful music. Penne by Susheela Raman on the hand actually presents a spell of eeriness. I look forward to see the movie to understand the context of the song. I expect that the composer has used the song to express some very powerful emotions. In short, Vidiyum Munn is a breath of fresh air in today's musical world with a truly amazing lyrical platform.
