If the word we use is 'Magnum Opus' it could be none other than 'Endhiran'. If some movies hope that it would be a blockbuster, some foresee that it could be a blockbuster, only very few movies are so sure of it from its inception. Our Endhiran is one such product mass marketed, for the niche segment like - Rajini Fans, Shankar Fans, Aishwarya Rai Fans, A.R.Rahman fans, even Sun Pictures fans or to one large segment - fans of this brand 'Endhiran', Rahman's music is the first to be marketed as of now, and no wonder his part as a composer is simply mind-blowing. Rahman as we all know is not really likeable in the first few 'hearings' but picks up later. But this Oscar winner has broken that ice and almost all songs deserve a 4 star or 5 star nothing less. Every song is an audio treat and sure it is going to be a greater visual treat for the audience especially for songs like Kilimanjaro, Kadhal Anukkal, Boom Boom etc., First SPB is the opener in this match as it is for any Rajini movie but surprisingly does not sing praise of the hero and his voice is heard only after 1 min of the song's start which is a nice twist. Khatija Rahman's voice sounds angelic and matured. Vijayprakash and Chinmayee in Kilimanjaro song are lovely and the final husky tone of Chinmayee at the end of every paragraph makes you want to hear and sing along too! Arima, arima song has a surprising Hariharan in a

very aggressive note sometimes makes you want to hear and sing along too! Arima, arima song has a surprising Hariharan in a very aggressive note sometimes mistaken to be Shankar Mahadevan! Boom boom has a sci-fi touch. Irumbile oru idhayam by A.R.R and Kash n krissy (Check out this Singapore duo Kash n Krissy) sounds a mix of aqua and/or backstreet boys - you're the one for me, generally giving a pop feel. Kadhal anukkal is a musical-scientific intervention, lyrics penned by Vairamuthu. Karki and Pa.Vijay also do justice to their roles. Special mention for Vijay's lyrics in Kilimanjaro song, it’s rhyming and interesting. Finally the Chitti dance beats could be our Robot named Chitti giving us a special robot dance - may be - it’s just a guess! So all the more EXPECTATIONS await this Magnum Opus!!
