Development

[edit]

The film's original score and six-song soundtrack were composed by Ghibran, with lyrics written by Kadhal Mathi, Munna Shaoukat Ali, Karthik Netha, Parvathy, Thenmozhi and Nizami Brothers.[1] Keeping with the film's story, that revolved around a romance between two Hindu people taking over the identities of Muslim and a potential inter-religious marriage, Ghibran emphasized on classical and Sufi music.[1][2] Most of the songs were raga oriented,[2] with "Kannukkul Pothivaippen" was set in Carnatic hamir kalyani and the Hindustani kedar raga.[a] Anil Srinivasan in his blog for Scroll.in also noted on the song being set in the Janya raga Mukhari (a derivative of Kharaharapriya), and while closely associated with the Bhairavi raga.[4] The songs were performed by Vijay Prakash, Charulatha Mani, Sadhana Sargam, Sundar Narayana Rao, Kaushiki Chakraborty, Bonnie Chakraborty amongst others.[5]

Release

[edit]

The soundtrack was marketed by Think Music and released on 15 December 2013 at a soft launch held at Sathyam Cinemas in Chennai with the film's cast and crew being present.[6] Prior to the launch, all the songs in the film were aired on Radio Mirchi as a part of promotional purposes.[6][5] The video song of "Kannukkul Pothivaippen" was released on 23 May 2014 for promotional purposes and was widely shared online.[7]

Reception

[edit]

The album opened to positive response from critics and audiences. A reviewer from The Times of India wrote "Ghibran gets to explore a variety of genres and gives us a finely textured album that manages to find that sweet spot between being creative and being listener-friendly" giving a rating of 3 out of 5.[8] Karthik Srinivasan of Milliblog wrote "The range of songs in this soundtrack is mind-boggling; Ghibran seems to have handled them with amazing dexterity! There is little doubt that Ghibran is the most exciting Tamil composer in recent times!"[3] S. Saraswathi of Rediff.com mentioned that "Music by Ghibran is one of the highlights of the film and all the songs have been well picturised."[9] Anupama Subramanian of Deccan Chronicle complimented "Ghibran’s soulful music and brilliant rerecording" as the film's highlight.[10] Ashutosh Mohan of Film Companion South noted on "Enthaaraa Enthaaraa" and said, "The song itself sounds a bit like a palpitating heart but the its prosaic visuals in the film douse all the poetry and leave us with just a tune."[11]
