Review Overview
Aval
Mun Selladaa
Poi Vaazhvaa
Kondaatam
Adho - Manithan Theme
Minimum guarantee mode.
Manithan is a pleasing OST from Santosh Narayanan, who nicely adapts himself into the mainstream housing. This may well be far than what you expect in line with his standards, mainly due to the lack of excitement, but that doesn't help write off the composer. Just about good.
Cast: Udhayanidhi Stalin, Hansika
Music: Santhosh Narayanan
Lyrics: Madhan Karky, Vivek
Direction: Ahmed
Label: Sony Music
Aval: Singers – Pradeep, Priya Hemesh
Santosh Narayanan starts proceedings on a high with this flawless track, backed by Pradeep’s vocals. The free-flowing nature of the song is its USP, making it our PICK.
Mun Selladaa: Singers – Anirudh, ADK
Despite Anirudh’s voice being swept under the carpet, Mun Selladaa clicks due to its fantastic arrangements and sound setup. ADK gets the best lines here, and does his job neatly. Another PICK!
Poi Vaazhvaa: Singers – Vijay Narain, Santosh Narayanan
Quite a disappointing medley, in comparison to the lovely bits that Santosh scores in these situations. The hook is good, nothing else is.
Kondaatam: Singers – Radar with a K, Divya Ramani
Kondaatam brims with the Santosh Narayanan flavour all through, especially in its interludes. A likable track with shades of brilliance occasionally spotted.
Adho – Manithan Theme: Singer – Kalpana Raghavendar
A decent theme to end the soundtrack, packed with some nice hymns and sounds.
Summary: Manithan is a pleasing OST from Santosh Narayanan, who nicely adapts himself into the mainstream housing. This may well be far than what you expect in line with his standards, mainly due to the lack of excitement, but that doesn’t help write off the composer. Just about good.
