Maatraan Music Review

1. Rettai Kathirae (Krish, M.K.Balaji, Mili) – So Called “Intro” song for a conjoined twins. We have already had a lot of this kind from Harris. The choice of phrase “Rettai Kathirae” is very good.  Overall – Not so impressive – But still not bad.

2. Naani Koni (Vijay Prakash, Karthik, Shreya Ghoshal, Shekhinah Shawn Jazeel) – A clear carryover from Aadhavan. For a song with 4 Singers, the song should at least engage a little. Sadly it doesn’t happen. My favorite portion of this song is the end of both the Charanam’s – “Classical Touch”.  Wish Harris had retained that classical touch throughout the song.

3. Theeyae Theeyae (Franco, Aalaap Raju, Sathyan, Charulatha Mani, Suchitra) – A Club song with usual Harris Melodic touch. I couldn’t get a better word. Boring!!!

4. Yaaro Yaaro (Karthik, Priya Himesh) – Grow up!! A Typical Harris Sad Melody!! Its time we move on from such songs.. Karthik’s voice is the only relief.

5. Kaal Mulaitha Poove (Javed Ali, Mahalakshmi Iyer, Nincy Vincent) – A Spanish – Latin Mix. Inspired from Rockstar – Hawaa Hawaa?? Quite interesting try from Harris. But the melody portion is usual same old Harris stuff!!

Overall Rating:- 2/5 (Hope the visuals impress the audience. Sadly the album doesn’t do that!!)

Ice Age 4–Continental Drift

Fellas!! Time to become kids.. Manny, Sid and Diego set another adventurous travel in finding back their herd whom they lost during the great drift.. The story dates back to the time when land drifted apart and continents were formed.. Thanks to Scrat who always sets the crux for ICE AGE series. This time it is toooo good.. Don’t miss the First and the Last Scene.. Ice Age followers know what it has.. But this is wonderful.. Better than all other parts.  Story is perfectly packaged within 88 minutes. No Lag in the movie. Dialogues are good.. Top Notch Animation and that too when it comes from some production house apart from Pixar and DreamWorks SKG, it is commendable..  BTW – Animation is by Fox Animation Studios and Blue Sky Studios. The movie also tries to establish some sentiments which doesn’t work well.. But it has loads of fun.. If you want to watch some logical stuff – then this is not a movie for you. Personally I don’t care about logic in animation movies.

Rating:- 3.5/5
