Tamil Music Review: Kanna

The film Kanna marks Anandh's entry into Tamil cinema as director. Anandh has worked under Parthiban, K Rajeshwar and Saba. The movie will showcase his unique style in chiselling the film like a sculpture on celluloid, devoid of violence and obscenity.

Kanna deals with father-daughter relationship. Ranjit Barot has composed music. After his composition for VIP, Kanna will be a comeback for the music director.

The song Azhagiya Pennae Unnal has used an interesting fusion harmony. Karthik's voice takes on a bold timbre and gives a matching feel.

Kuyil Padum is a lush melody. It starts with a moderate pace but adopts a sudden tempo. Shreya Ghoshal, Vigneshwaran, and Nandhini Srikar's voices course through a nice, pleasant journey.

Sembaruthi Pookanaka demonstrates the longing for love. Mukhesh ably picks the lead provided by Manicka Vinayagam and synchronises; Vinaya follows subsequently. The Nagaswaram piece in the ensemble highlights the folk feel.

Hariharan navigates and touches the secret corners in listeners' hearts through the sweet sorrow he expresses in Aayiram Kelvigal.

Sujatha's voice flows gracefully mellifluous throughout Ragasiya Kanna. Ranjith Barot's humming adds a good dimension to the melody.

Thullum Thullalil is a fun-number. Mahalakshmi Iyer's high-pitched energetic voice is in pleasant contrast with Balraman's soft, sweet tone.

Telugu actor Raja and Sheela make the lead pair in Kanna. As Sheela's father, we have Prakash Raj. Seetha plays his wife.
