Chez Moi

I am a big time fan of Vikram. Having met him once early in his career, soon after his first hit Sethu, I was so charmed by his wit and manners than I have been a staunch fan since. Obviously, then, I have been looking forward to his next release Bheema, after a two-year hiatus.

I got my hands on the songs as soon as they were released and though I felt that Harris Jeyraj has dealt a winner this time around too, I cannot say I am overly pleased with the music directors’ penchant for making non-Tamil singers sing songs in Tamil movies. The song Ragasiya Kanavugal is a case in point. The female singer, instead of singing “azhagiya mirugam” (beautiful beast), sounds like she’s saying “azhugiya mirugam” (rotten beast).

Listen to it yourself and tell me if you agree or not.
