Hope she also gets songs from composers other than her dad. The minimal setting works perfectly for Madhushree to showcase her skills and she does so in style. Composer gets his daughter Madhusree Narayan (still remember her debut as a child singer in Makalkku, ten years back) for the minimally arranged Priyamullavane. In comparison, Shilpa Raj is unable to convey the yesteryear feel as genuinely in her alternate version. The soundtrack’s most obviously retro song Sharadambaram brings together another veteran P Jayachandran, with Sithara Krishnakumar who has in the past done brilliantly with such songs and both of them pull it off very well. The singing is handled well of course, an alternate version of the song has Yesudas going solo. The tune is dauntingly typical, but the song is saved by its arrangement which features some excellent flute and the sarangi (or esraj?) in the second half. He gets two veterans Yesudas and Sujatha for the doleful Ee Mazhathan. Remaining three tunes of the soundtrack (five tracks though, two of the songs have two versions each) are composed by Ramesh Narayan. The folk base makes the song quite engaging too. Composer himself gets behind the mic for the folksiest of the lot – Iruvanji Puzhappenne – and does a fine job, even getting the diction largely right on Rafeeq Ahammed’s dialect-based lyrics. Kannondu Chollanu is a pleasant melody treated to a folksy orchestration (reminds me mildly of Ghibran’s Sara Sara) that once again has some top notch singing, Shreya Ghoshal (who sounds quite different here) joined by Vijay Yesudas. The other two songs by the composer are nicely done too for that matter. The clarinet imparts a nice retro touch to the proceedings.
Like he has done multiple times in the past, composer M Jayachandran gives the best of his songs from Ennu Ninte Moideen to Shreya Ghoshal – beautiful melody called Kaathirunnu that carries a mild Muslim flavour in its arrangement.
