One of the youngest stars in the Tamil film industry to try his hand at various fields of filmmaking is Simbu. STR started off as a child artist, grew up to be a star and slowly ventured into writing and direction with Manmadhan and also rendered some songs for various musicians.
He had composed and sung independent songs but had never composed for a movie yet. With Santhanam's upcoming film, Sakka Podu Podu Raja, STR turned a music director, and it was one of the most exciting news that we had come across. The Vallavan actor also released a single, rendered by Anirudh Ravichander, called Kalakku Machaan and it was well received by fans and folk song lovers.
Now, on 14th October, at Sathyam Cinemas, Sakka Podu Podu Raja's music is going to be launched grandly. This is going to be Simbu's first audio release, and we are excited! Are you?
Simbu’s single for Santhanam’s movie Sakka Podu Podu Raja is here! It has been rendered by the super talented music composer Anirudh Ravichander in his mellifluous voice and has been titled ‘Kalakku Machaan’.
The song composed by Simbu is a positive sounding number that has a blend of numerous instruments held together by Anirudh’s voice. At first, the folk beats flow in with Indian percussions, drums, guitars and even use of violins. A Nadhaswaram portion is detected towards the end as well.
The lyrics by Rokesh and STR himself are catchy and rhyme quite well. The tune is simple and linear with not too much experimentation with a medium tempo throughout. This part alone could have had some more variations which would have pepped up the proceedings.
However, for someone who is not a regular music composer, Simbu does a good job of attracting the masses with this commercial number ‘Kalakku Machaan’. We will have to wait for the entire album to see how Simbu handles different situations in the film.
