The Tamil audio of Mani Ratnam’s new film Cheliya was launched earlier today in Chennai and Suriya was the main guest of honor for this occasion. Speaking at the event, Suriya said that he was shocked to see Karthi’s transformation in the film.



The superstar added that even though he was expecting a change of look for Karthi in Mani Ratnam’s film, the way Karthi looked, Suriya says he was shocked to see him when an image of a lean Karthi was sent to him on What’s App.

Suirya finally ended by saying that Karthi has come a long way in his career from being an assistant director to Mani Ratnam and acting in his directorial venture and that too in a love story.

Cheliya has Aditi Rao Hydari as the female lead and A R Rahman scores music for this film which is presented by Dil Raju in Telugu. The Telugu audio of the film will be launched tomorrow in Hyderabad.

 

The Telugu audio of Karthi’s latest film in the direction of Mani Ratnam was launched a short while ago in Hyderabad. The entire team of Cheliya was present at the event which was also attended by Sirivennela Seetaramsastry and Vamsi Paidipally from Tollywood.



Speaking at the occasion, Karthi said that he was in complete shock when Mani Ratnam narrated the film to him. The ace actor also added that the first thing he asked Mani Ratnam was whether he would be able to carry out the role of a fighter pilot in the film.

Karthi’s look, in particular, has won huge appreciation all over the social media and A R Rahman’s songs have caught on quite well. Finally, Karthi thanked the ace director for giving him such a rare opportunity to change his image through the film.

Cheliya is presented by Dil Raju in Telugu and is up for a release on April 7th.

 

Released around a couple of weeks ago, the trailer of legendary director Mani Ratnam’s forthcoming romantic drama, Cheliyaa, thrilled his fans with his signature style visual poetry.



Cheliyaa’s new trailer was unveiled during the audio launch event in Hyderabad just a while ago. The second trailer hints that the movie is going to be more intense and layered and that it’s not just about romance.

Karthi and Aditi Rao Hydari are the film’s lead actors. AR Rahman has composed a mellifluous soundtrack that’s enthralling music lovers. Dil Raju is releasing Cheliyaa on April 7th alongwith the Tamil version

 

Kaatru Veliyidai is an upcoming Tamil film directed by Maniratnam with Karthi as a lead. The film has a soundtrack composed by Maniratnam's usual Rahman. Let's check out whether Rahman continues to deliver his best to Maniratnam or not.


Nallai Allai:✔Nallai Allai's clean guitar laden background largely benefits from Sathyaprakash's effortless rendition and Chinmayi's superlative humming in the interludes. Vairamuthu's Tamil verses shine in the vocals of lead singer and the improvisations by Sathyaprakash is spot on which makes up for the familiar Rahman tune.


Azhagiye: Azhagiye is charming and lilting throughout the song except for the odd terse Punjabi inclusion and Haricharan's buoyant rendition easily makes this one appealing one. Jonita Gandhi's humming standout, while Madhan Karky's easy go lyrics, sounds apt for the overall mood of the tune. The few acapella portions evocate memories of Sandikuthirai from Kaaviyathalaivan.


Vaan Varuvan:✔The soundtrack best is undeniably Vaan Varuvan and Rahman utilizes Shashaa Tripathi's lovely vocals to the splendid effect making this one dreamy song. Apart from the mesmerizing vocals, Rahman shows his mixing effect to full throttle and the plethora of sounds in the background makes this one blissful experience while Vairamuthu's lyrics adds to the song's magical effect.


Sarattu Vandiyila:✔ The ultra-catchy Sarattu Vandiyila traces back to the Rahman's folk songs from Taj Mahal and Thenali while the song's uncanny resemblance to the Mohan Sitara's Thanakkum Thana is difficult to brush off. However, Rahman's background dominated by guitar, mandolin, and other assorted sounds is surely a delight to listen while Tipu and AR Raihanah breezes through the Vairamuthu’s wordplay effectually.


Tango Kelaayo: Tango Kelaayo starts off beautifully with an engaging typical Tango styled number and the song traverses through multiple ways with a mix of retro-styled tune and culminating in the orchestral brilliant string sections. However, overall, the song is a bit of letdown except for the few enticing portions in a helter-skelter manner. Haricharan and Diwakar are pitch perfect in vocal front.



Jugni: Jugni's synth dominated soundscape mixed in a hypnotic manner is the masterstroke from the composer while the same cannot be said regarding the Punjabi flavored tune. Raajakumari and Shikara's rap portions didn't add much value to the song. Rahman's impressive sound dynamics especially towards the end of the track is the highlight.


Verdict:



Kaatru Veliyidai has the fair mix of melodies and Rahman's experimentations, However, the album is few notches below the usual Rahman- Maniratnam's soundtrack.
