Majnu is an upcoming romantic film starring Natural Star Nani and newcomer Anu Emmanuel in lead roles. Music for the film is composed by Gopi Sunder who earlier gave a hit album Bhale Bhale Magadivoy for the hero. Here is an iQlik exclusive audio review of the album:
The fun filled album begins with a quirky number Kallu Moosi penned by Srimani and sung brilliantly Suchith. The song has funky bass work which has the makings of Jazz. The composition has a positive feel throughout coupled with good dose of melody. Watch out for the lovely strings which make their appearance quite well.
Oorike Ala is a beautiful number sung by the talented singer Haricharan. Rama Jogayya Sastry does a brilliant job with poetic lyrics and the song has wonderful traces of Carnatic Raaga Chaarukesi. The alternative rock touch which the song has is another highlight of the composition. The interludes are stylish, trendy and at the same time melodious.
The album gathers pace with Andamaina – a feel good number with good thump and vigor. Rahul Nambiar’s fun filled vocals give the song much needed entertaining aspect. The traces of Carnatic Raaga Mohana are beautifully explored in the interlude with mesmerizing flute. A very special mention should be made for Srimani’s lyrics which explain the best about love and relationships.
The relaxing mood comes back with Jare Jare having Jazzy bass work, electric guitar and soothing ambience. Watch out for the brilliant Jazz changeovers and Country styled guitar strums throughout the song giving it a laid back appearance.
Oye Meghamala is a riveting solo sung by the sweet sounding Chinmayi in the midst of acoustic guitar, relaxing rhythm section and lovely chord progression. The mild electric guitar which follows the song is another brilliant stroke. Srimani delivers par excellence with this lovely lyrics!
The brilliant album hits finale with Aadara thereby getting a fun mass touch in the so called Gopi Sunder fashion! Ranjith delivers quite well for this peculiar composition. The rhythm section and electric guitars strike well for the funky number!
Verdict:
Majnu is a fantastic album from Gopi Sunder which has all the makings of a classy Rom Com! Cherish the melodies and very special mention should be made for the lyricists as well!
