Actually, beyond the obviously-pleasing Vizhiyil and Akkam pakkam, I'm tripping on Kanavellaam. The free flowing form is very catchy and the lyrics, endearing. Also, wonder why force that Vilayaadu hero intro song, its becoming terribly cliched nowadays. Here's my Tamil review...

Kireedom - Smart work
IndiaGlitz [Monday, July 02, 2007] G V Prakash is one of the young and interesting music talents to emerge from this part of the country. He bowled over music lovers with a different sounds and feel in Veyyil. Nephew of A R Rahman, music seems to be present in Prakash's genes. For Kireedom, the young Prakash has come up with five catchy numbers which are different from each other. Clarity in the sound, a good rhythm and orchestration fill the album. He has opted for right voices. His penchant for versatile music is also pretty much evident. Keeping Ajith fans in mind, Prakash has come up with a peppy number rendered by 'energetic' Shankar Mahadevan. On the whole, Kireedom is a crown in Prakash's head. Well done job. Akkam Pakam (Sadhana Sargam) A smart start. G V Prakash has infused the number with soft beats. Reminding one of Vassegara in Minnale, the song manages to touch our heart instantly. Sadhana Sargam is as usual at her best. Her diction of difficult Tamil words deserves a special mention. The young music composer provides a mystical effect using the flutes well. The tune floats and grabs your imagination because of the easy feel and the sweet lilt. Kanavellam (Jayachandran, Karthik) After a long gap, the versatile voice of Jayachandran makes a comeback. His blissful voice does the magic. The song begins in the form of opera and slowly gathers momentum with fast beats. The open-throated voice of Karthik is a delight to listen to. Prakash has proved his mastery in coming up with good orchestration. The lyric is about a proud father singing the achievements of his son. Kaneer Thuliye (Vijay Yesudas) A soft number which begins in a brisk note with a host of stringed instruments accompanying it. A pathos number, Vijay Yesudas has tried to imitate his father. Prakash has consciously avoided loud instruments and has allowed the lyrics to dominate. Reminds one of Rahman's orchestrations in between. The interludes are inspired by Hindustani classical music and can be relished. Vilayadu (Shankar Mahadevan) With Shankar Mahadevan around, there is no dearth for entertainment. Here the singer from Mumbai has sung with verve and vitality, which are all typical to him. The quick-paced music and the peppy acoustics accompanying it. The open-throated voice of Shankar is tantalizing. Sure to rock Ajith fans in the theatres. Vizhiyil (Sonu Nigam, Swetha) A romantic duet with a catchy musical score. The stylish manner in which Sonu Nigam has sung the duet makes it attractive. Prakash has tried a fusion between west and east. Smooth on the ears, the song describes the intimacy shared between a lover couples. Prakash has developed a special liking for stringed instruments. But, knows the knack of using them, when and where. Hats off to the young prodigy, for his splendid work. http://www.indiaglitz.com/channels/t...view/8943.html |

`Kireedam` on July 20! By Moviebuzz | Wednesday, 04 July , 2007, 07:54 The Ajit-Trisha starrer Kireedam has been postponed by a week from July 12 to July 20. The producers of the film Adlabs and Suresh Balaji, was forced to take the decision to get good theatres in Tamilnadu. You can call it the Sivajieffect, as in many centres in Tamilnadu, the film is running in multiple screens, blocking the release of new films. The earliest that these extra screens can remove Sivaji is five weeks, which will give them a chance to recover the huge MG's that they have paid. Added to that, all areas of Kireedam has been sold. The all important NSC area, has been purchased by Nemichand Jabak for a decent price. Says Hitesh Jabak, of Nemichand Jabak, and producer of the hit Njaan Avanillai: " Yes, I told the producers, that I want the films release to get postponed by a week, so that we get good theatres.” In Pondicherry, a part of NSC area Sivaji is running in three out of the five theatres, and the theatre booked for Kireedam, say that they can play it only after they recover their investments. Now that Jabak, has taken over NSC, all distribution woes of Kireedam are over. What matters the most is the film should entertain, have a basic story to say and our Thalaishould regain his form. Kireedam will be censored in the next two days and it will have no opposition till Bheema releases, sometime in September. |

Kreedom to be censored today Kreedom, the next biggie in Kollywood, has been in the pipeline, waiting to hit the screens, for over a month now. And the grapevine has it that the movie will not hit the theatres on July 12th as expected but will grace the screens a week later on the 20th. Thanks to Sivaji, as the Kreedom distributors were unable to find a good theatre. Kreedom, an action-family drama, to be censored today, is expected to be given a clean U certificate. So Ajith fans can be rest assured that the movie will reach the theatres on 20th, but as Sivaji is still drawing unprecedented crowds and the theatre owners trying to get the most out of this craze obtaining a good theatre even on 20th seems to be doubtful. And in case the movie cannot be accommodated in any of the good theatres then the release date might be postponed. So it’s all in the hands of The Boss. Ajith, who is in Malaysia shooting for Billa is expected back in town the day after on a personal visit, to see his beloved wife Shalini. In his short visit of two days, the actor is expected to preview the censored version just before it hits the screens, sources say. |

Kireedam offers great music
http://www.rediff.com/movies/2007/jul/03sskiree.htm Saraswathy Srinivas July 03, 2007 19:22 IST Kireedam is a benchmark Tamil film. The Malayalam original earned National Awards for its star Mohanlal and singer M G Sreekumar for his poignant number Kannuneer Poovinte in 1990. Later, in 1993, came Gardish, director Priyadarshan's Hindi version of the same with Jackie Shroff in the lead role. Now, the much-awaited Tamil version, starring Ajith and Trisha, will release shortly. The Tamil version is directed by debutant A L Vijay. Na Muthukumar's evocative lyrics have been set to tune by young and upcoming composer G V Prakashkumar. The five tracks in the album showcase the composer's mastery over his craft. Almost all the numbers start with an impressive instrumental prelude. The opening track Vizhiyil vizhiyil is a romantic melody by Sonu Nigam [Images] and Swetha. The lyrics soaked in soft sentiments bring alive the dreams of the lovers about a resplendent future together. Sonu Nigam's chaste Tamil diction is praiseworthy. But what keeps you spellbound is the sublime instrumental interludes with sitar strains giving it a beguiling feel. Kanavellam is a gem. Starting with a sustaining chorus, the track is replete with swaying rhythm. The instrumental stoppages fortified with pauses and excellent flute patterns make this an absorbing track. The lyrics are all about the hopes and aspirations of a father-son duo, with the father dreaming of his son going places in life and the son promising to fulfill those dreams. Singers Jayachandran and Karthik are very good here. Sadhana Sargam's Akkam pakkam turns the clock back to her Snehithanae from Alaipayuthe. Her rendition in hushed tones, aided by good instrumentation with violin and flute spells and lively chorus, make it a delightful track. The lyrics are all about a girl in love fantasising about a life in a world in which only she and her lover are present. The number concludes with soft humming and guitar notes. Vilayadu vilayadu with the loud vocals of Shankar Mahadevan [Images] follows koothu style. Vigorous drums gives it a martial touch in the beginning. With all its lively percussion and peppy beats ends up as just a routine number. Vijay Jesudas's Kanneerthuliye follows next. The thumping of the drum in the prelude of Kanneerthuliye creates a sense of tragic foreboding in tune with the lyrics. Vijay with his mellow, soul-touching rendition successfully brings out the pain, grief, loss and longing of a beaten soul. His excellent tonal modulation traversing the highs and lows is another high point of this track. The lingering flute strains towards the conclusion add to the pathos. The album comes to a close with an extended heavy instrumental arrangement as theme music. The ensemble piece starts with fast rhythm, vigorous but monotonous drum beats, then mellows down, again warms up with meditative pauses and ends on a poignant note. All perhaps symbolic of the turbulence in the tortured soul of the protagonist and others affected by his tragic fate. An enjoyable album tempting you to press the rewind button. STARS : 3 / 5 |

Kireedom Music Review Cast :Ajith,Trisha Director :Vijay Music :G.V.Prakash Production :Adlabs and Sujatha Cine Arts Kireedom starring Ajith and Trisha the long awaited movie had its audio launch yesterday; this film is directed by debutant Vijay produced by adlabs and sujatha cine arts. The music is scored by the nephew of the expert A.R Rahman and veyil fame G. V Prakash,his music is sure to have the touch of his uncle. This album contains 6 songs with appropriate collection of melodies. Vizhiyil Beautiful melodies beginning which will be the next hit, This song is sung by sonu nigam and shwetha with simple classical touch and the song, the BGM is very well combined by string instruments that keep the flow going strong. Kanavellam A peppy and a strong dosage song with the lead singers being Jeyachandran and Karthik, an optimist song with influential lyrics, the song takes different levels as we hear it, the blend of the two voices is another plus. Vilayau vilayadu A music album is not complete with a meaningful and masala song, this is the one for the Ajith fans, fast paced and the strong voice of Shankar Mahadevan does the rest. Good use of percussions in the song with use of good chorus in between to break the monotony. This number is sure to rock the audience. Akkam pakkam A romantic song with saccharine voice of Sadhana Sargam, keeps the music at a low pace and the lead singer has used her high octane to make the song more soothing. This song will surely be amongst the next good romantic numbers. Kanner thuliye A gloomy number in this album with the intense voice of Vijay Yesudas that gives the song the right mood, the lyrics are very apologetic and the music and the tune reminds us of Uyire’s hit song Pookatrile sung by Yesudas, like father like son. |

Kireedom Audio Review
http://dailykirukkal.blogspot.com/20...io-review.html Movie : Kireedom Cast : Ajith, Trisha, Raj Kiran Music : G.V.Prakash Kumar Akkam Pakkam Singer : Sadana Sargam The initial bit is similar to Pudhu Vellai Mazhai from Roja. Other than that the music is quite compelling! Yet another melody from Sadana Sargam! The flute composition after the pallavi is outstanding! "Akkam pakkam" is truly a diamond stone on Ajith's Kireedom. Vizhiyinil Singers : Sonu Nigam, Swetha Good mix of Violin and Veena. Lyrics are catchy, especially the pallavi! Another great melody and is sure to rock for many years! Theme Music: Rhythms quite well with movie's tempo. It is kind of lengthy(4:24), editing the middle part would have made it even more catchy! The initial part is mesmerizing! Kanavellam Singers : Karthik, Jeyachandran Nothing new except for the lyrics. It sounds like a story narration, could have been a bit more racy! Vilaiyadu Vilaiyadu Singer : Shankar Mahadevan Just another average song! I think lyricists should move beyond the age old "Thalaiyirukkum podhu vaal ada koodathu" monologue! Ajith is a star performer and he definitely deserves more than this! Kanneer Thuliyile Singer : Vijay Yesudas Similar to Poongatrile from Uyire! This song captures pathos with good lyrics. Plus : Melodies Minus : Lacks a racy number, Greatly influenced by A.R.Rahman's music! DailyKirukkal's Rating : *** |

Kireedam tops the charts Nephew beats the master composer at his own game Believe it or not, AR Rahman has got competition from within his family.

A sneak peak at Kreedom’s visuals By Behindwoods News Bureau. July 10, 2007 As a overture to the awaiting extravaganza, the much-hyped Ajith movie Kreedom’s trailer release and screening of two songs were held at 6.30 p.m. in the Four Frames preview theatre owned by noted director Priyadarshan. A press meet was also organized by the producers Suresh Balaji’s Sujatha combines and Adlabs. The event was graced by the crew including director Vijay apart from the producers of the movie. Kreedom Kreedom’s director as is known to all took his apprenticeship in movies under the auspices of the veteran Malayalam director Priyadarshan. He is now testing waters with his debut Kreedom banking on the story of a cult Malayalam Mohanlal hit. The movie is being wrapped up at a jet pace and is expected to hit the screens soon. Kreedom Addressing the media, director Vijay expressed his gratitude towards his crew. “The crew I’m associated with is one of the best any director could get, especially for his debut movie,” noted Vijay. On a bolder note, he stated that he would carry the whole responsibility if the movie fails to make a mark at the box office. “I have given my body and soul for the movie and had put in the best of my efforts. However, if for any unfortunate reason the movie did not pull it off, I would take up the responsibility for the same,” he affirmed with an air of confidence. However, judging by the credentials of the two songs and the trailers that were screened, Vijay would have the least of chances to attempt shouldering any responsibility of failure. His directorial competence was apparently conspicuous in the songs, which awed the shutterbugs present in the event. Kanavellam The solo Kanavellam is a mellow number enacted by Rajkiran and Ajith. The lyrics and visuals narrate a father’s dreams to make his son enter into the police force. The song throws light at Ajith’s journey to fulfill his father’s dreams. As an obliging son, the actor prepares intensively for the Inspector training program and in the end writes the exam. This touching song lingers long after it ends in the screen and the emotional bondage shown - in no doubt - fills one’s eyes. Akkam Pakkam The second song to be shown at the event was the sugary melodious number yet again a solo enacted by Ajith and Trisha in the backwaters of Kerala. Enough reason for the cameraman Thiru to unleash his creativity. His camera does a classy job and enlivens the entire mood of the song. Ajith and Trisha’s love song is sure to strike a chord as soon as the movie is released. If not for anything, Akkam Pakkam will be remembered for its stunning picturisation in the backdrop of Kerala’s backwaters, boats, sunset, and moon. |

No.2 Album: Kreedom Song: Vizhiyil Music director: G.V.Prakash Singer(s): Sonu Nigam, Swetha G.V. Prakash, just three films old, is back with his music for one of the superstars of Kollywood, Ajith. Vizhiyil, sung by Sonu Nigam & Swetha vouches for a pleasant hear. The song has every potential to become one of the best tracks dished out for an Ajith starrer. The album has come up with interesting instrument usage, which is just a sign of what to expect from this youngster in the future. Look out for this album, bigger things expected once the movie releases. |

So here is the recipe to make reviewers go gaga over a song,
1. Make sure the bass loops run through the song 2. Have the interludes (one in veena & another in violin) and make them totally irrelevant to the flow of the song 3. Show no creativity at all when compared to what has been done in the last 15 years of TFM For sure the reviewing critics will love and eat the music. Will they remember the song after 6.33 months? Nay .... |

Ive been very careful not to review without careful listening. Here is what I feel:
Honestly, Kreedom is just another album. With the FM revolution in Tamil Nadu, you will surely hear a couple of these songs played over and over again on radios. Even Veyil had that one haunting melody ( Uruguthai), thats it! The media has been trying to dethrone ARR for ages now. They feel ARR fans back GVP, perfect oppurtunity for them to raise the kid sky high, and "maybe" eventually dethrone ARR. I am not trying to be harsh on the kid but so far he is just like an average joe. But to his merit he seems to take his works seriously, so watch out. |

Movies,
GVP has to go really a long long way to be mentioned along with ARR and contemporaries, let alone dethroning him. He definitely shows signs of talent, but still has to prove himself. I expected Kireedam album a lot, but it didn't live upto my expectations. That said, the songs are good to hear, no doubt about it. |
