Hi guys nice to read all the responses here my name is Ehsaan and I am Shankar and Loy's partner. You have to understand that alavandhan doesnt really adhere to the typical tamil or hindi film soundtrack with 3 love songs and a few item songs. For that reason the film is not your typical film either. It is an intense action film even fitting in these songs has been difficult as the film can even do without songs.
. I gues this doenst fit into the cliched film soundtrack as the film is not your regular kind of film with all the singing dancing etc.
It's more cinematic music with tunes like Kadavul Paadhi being more like a narrative of Abhay's character. The title song Abhay is a background song / score for an intense car chase. So in reality we have composed songs which go with an action film as opposed to doing so called ' item ' songs where the hero goes to a nightclub and falls in love with a girl or suddenly gets ' beamed ' to Switzerland for a ballad. I guess all of you have to finally watch the film to see how the music fits in.Teh song Siri is very funny when u watch KamalHassan performing all his pranks on screen.Compsong music for a film is interpretting the directors vision and in this case alsi Kamalsirs vision.We do not want to be compared to Illyaraja or To ARR 2 musicians for whome we have the utmost repsect. I'd say look at the soundtrack for the genre of film it has been composed for.If you hear a Hinid soundtrack of ours for a film called Shool it is very much in the same cinematic vein where a film has to have the minimum of pure entertainer songs to do justice to the script and the screenplay.
Thanks anyway it is good to hear criticism of your work but eventually when we do a score which has all the ingredients like love songs etc i guess you will see another side of us.
Take care
Regards
Ehsaan
