Barring a brief digression in the second half, the mood remains largely melancholic, and it is Mithun Raju, in stellar form here, who manages to tug at your heart strings the most, with his riffs.

Finally, my most favourite song of the album (only by a small margin, I must add), the achingly beautiful Vasantha Kaalangal which is practically a duet between Mithun Raju’s flamenco-esque guitar and Chinmayi. While the former has Mithun Raju’s splendid guitar solo forming the song’s interlude, in the latter it is Rajhesh Vaidya with a short but highly effective classical-flavoured ( raga keeravani-ish, I think?) cameo on his veena. Both songs feature Pradeep Kumar and Chinmayi behind the mic, both doing an equally fine job. Uma Devi takes over as lyricist for Thaabangale and Iravingu Theevai, both of which seem to be companion pieces in more ways than just the common lyricist. Gowri TP leads the proceedings in the desolate Yaen, and the lady sings her heart out, even as Govind’s sparse orchestration accentuates the sadness (lovely use of guitar – or is it mandolin/uke?), especially the violins growing in intensity towards the end. Govind’s Thaikkudam Bridge compatriot Mithun Raju, and bassist Naveen (Napier, I suppose) set up a fab backdrop for Pradeep Kumar to execute a fine rendition on his part – it helps that the composition is along the lines of multiple songs that the singer has sung in Tamil for the likes of Santhosh Narayanan. The breezy Life of Ram is another song that comes across as an exception from the album’s general sound – not to imply that it is any less engaging of course. But this song too goes back to quietness as Nasser’s voice echoes across with a splendid narration of a paean to love. And the song gradually builds up intensity, first the percussion and then the rousing chorus – both a rarity in the album that is marked by the dominant quietude. The album’s longest song ( Anthaathi lasts 7:14) starts off almost like a Ludovico Einaudi song, with that haunting piano refrain, before Chinmayi and Govind step in. The same words make yet another appearance in between Anthaathi, enabling a cameo from the wonderful Bhadra Rajin. Version 2 has the composer replacing Chinmayi with Kalyani Menon for the initial poetry by Karthik Netha – and this is probably the only move that doesn’t quite hit the mark in the entire album – the singer comes across sounding a bit weary. The quiet, freeform-ish rendition by Chinmayi Sripaada (the voice of Trisha in this movie both musically and otherwise, apparently), Govind’s heart-tugging violin solo, Kiran’s flute and the assorted sounds of nature, all coming together to take you through something of a musical equivalent of an early morning walk. Sign of maturity.While the fact that Kaathale Kaathalae ends almost immediately as the title phrase begins still annoys me, there is no denying the incredible charm of the prelude that composer Govind Vasantha builds atop the minute-long piece that first appeared in the teaser of ‘ 96.

While #VijaySethupathi has already played middle-aged / old-aged characters with ease, it's remarkable to see play a middle-aged role here. Absolute joy to watch and but this film belongs to Haricharan Pudipeddi October 1, 2018 Amazing how the film through its lead characters conveys so much about love without actually saying it on screen. A heartwarming tale of love and letting go. A big round of applause to the entire team of & who are outstanding and the unseen heroes /baucQfcncQ #96theMovie BRILLIANT! ???? Best film I’ve seen in a long time ?. Later, they fall in love, but certain situations lead to their separation. He also meets his first love Janaki Devi ( Trisha Krishnan).
