'Valimai' album review: Yuvan Shankar Raja's earthy yet massy composition
What's the story
Valimai makers have dropped its jukebox online.
The H Vinoth directorial has only three tracks (Naanga Vera Maari, Mother Song, and Whistle Theme), and all are already internet blockbusters.
The limited number of songs indicates the upcoming cop drama will be intense and a serious film.
Yuvan Shankar Raja (YSR) has composed its music.
The album gets 4.5 stars and here's our detailed review.
Number 1
'Naanga Vera Maari' is here to woo the masses
Naanga Vera Maari is a peppy number that radiates a festive vibe.
Presumably, this may be the hero's introductory song. Anurag Kulkarni and YSR are behind the vocals, while Vignesh Shivan has penned the lyrics.
The colorful visuals complement the celebratory energy of this track.
On the whole, the groovy number is an out-and-out mass entertainer. Read our review.
Verdict: Bags 4 stars.
Number 2
'Mother Song' is an emotional number with creative visuals
Crooned by Sid Sriram, this song is about motherhood, as the name suggests.
The song stands out from the rest of the tracks with creative visuals, showing Ajith Kumar's illustrations from different timelines.
The only negative of this song is the lyrics that project motherhood in a godly manner (in a toxic way). Read our full review.
Verdict: Takes 4 out of 5 stars.
Number 3
'Whistle theme' is an extravagant visual and audio treat
Though the first two songs were hits, Whistle Theme is the real deal when it comes to the tracks of Valimai!
In the 1:41-minute-long tune, YSR has given us a glimpse of the swag that AK will showcase in the film.
The visuals, on the other hand, are high on VFX. The theme's catchy hook makes it an addictive listen.
Verdict: All 5 stars.
