V Creations' Kanthaswamy is a grand production by Kalaipuli.S.Thanu and directed by Susi.Ganesan. This Vikram-Shriya starrer deals with the permanent difference in status between the rich and the poor that remains as one of the pivotal problems in society. It finds answers to the question whether the gap can be bridged by able management and planned distribution of wealth. The Kanthaswamy music release took place in a grand fashion yesterday. The album has eight songs composed by Devi Sri Prasad; of them, four are sung by hero Vikram.
‘Yem peru Meenakumari’ is the Mumaith Khan number on the screen. Sung by Malathy, the song packs a lot of power and glamour in its presentation. ‘Excuse Me’ in Vikram and Sucithra’s combination is a dance number. The song lyrics explain the way the heroine tries to attract the hero’s attention and consent for a hot date with her. ’Kanthaswamy’, a DSP remix, is the alluring number that finds place in the trailer and film promos. The song is rendered by Devi Sri Prasad and has a lot of ‘ah’ factor in it. Musically speaking, ‘Mambo Mamiya’ is one of Devi Sri Prasad’s instrumental extravaganzas. Vikram’s voice brings about an exotic feel to the song. Rita, as usual, does her bit sufficiently well along with Vikram. Again, when we hear Rita in ‘Allegro’, we experience a different kind of singing. After an interesting list of snack delicacies that Viveka expounds in one breath comes ‘Idellam Dupe’ in Vikram’s magnetic voice. Kanthasamy theme music and ‘Meow Meow’ in Vikram and Priya Hemesh’s voices that follow are a pure treat for rhythm-lovers.
