The Musical Side of Vijay's Movies

One film Wonders - Part 1

There are Music directors like Ilayaraja, Vidhyasagar, Deva and Manisharma who have composed music for many Vijay films each. On the other hand, there is another list which as of today features music directors who have done only a single film of Vijay till now in their career. I hope the following listing does not miss anyone in this category.

Yuvan Shankar Raja: The hottest songs of the day are from his studio. But the music he did for Vijay’s Pudhiya Geethai was just mediocre. Songs like Vasiyakaara and Mercury poove were good to listen, but the spirit of Vijay film music was certainly missing. Vijay’s fans expect Yuvan’s music in a Vijay’s future film very eagerly.

A.R.Rahman: The Isai Puyal did a movie Udhaya with Vijay and it had a music as forgettable as the movie. Thiruvellikeni Rani and Udhaya Udhaya were two good numbers but didn’t create much impact in fan’s minds. With Rahman shifting to the Worldspace through International assignments, there is hardly a chance for this combination to be back again.

D Imman: Imman had a few hit albums to his credit of late, but it was Vijay’s Thamizhan that provided a launch pad for the hence small screen composer. Songs like Hot Party and Maatu Maatu were hits. Not to forget Ullathai Killadhe, which had the lead pair of Vijay and Priyanka Chopra crooning a duet.

Srikanth Deva: This music director son of Deva an expert in Kuthu and Gaana like his father was the right choice for Vijay’s masala entertainer Sivakaasi. The album was one of the greatest hits in Srikanth Deva’s carrer and earned him accolades. All songs were rocking hits, especially the intro song Vaada Vaada and the kuthu item Vadumaanga were adored by Vijay fans.
