Lyrics: Madhan Karky, Vivega, Na. Muthukumar, Pa. Vijay
Nanban is the remake of the 2009 cult classic
“3 Idiots” in Hindi directed by
Rajkumar Hirani. The involvement of some of
the biggest names in the industry like director
Shankar, Vijay and Harris Jeyaraj combined
with the original’s status as one of
the biggest blockbusters in Bollywood history,
has sent the expectation meter soaring. The
audio released on 23rd December.
Vijay’s movies always have good songs.
Director Shankar and Harris are teaming up
for the first time with the hero, and let’s
see how this super-hit trio has fared.
Asku Laska...
Singers: Vijay Prakash, Chinmayi, Suvi
Lyrics: Madhan Karky
This is the much hyped 16 language love song that Madhan Karky has penned for Nanban. Turkish, Slovak, French, Spanish, Chinese, Icelandic, German, Hebrew, Lingala, Malay, Arabic, Meile, English, Telugu, Malayalam, Hindi and of course Tamil have been used. Some ‘Harris’ special words that are incomprehensible to the human mind are there in this song too. The tune for this duet perfectly suits Vijay Prakash’s casual style of singing and Chinmayi’s super sweet company. On the whole, a foot tapping melody.
En Frienda Pola...
Singers: Krish, Suchith Suresan
Lyrics: Vivega
The song begins with very catchy whistling and proceeds with some very poignant yet simple lyrics that emphasize the value of a good friend. The beats are similar to the sound of claps. The usage of the mouth organ also adds to the haunting effect of this song. The song ends with some guitar notes that have come to symbolize Harris. On the whole, a short and highly impactful song. Krish infuses the same feel that he showed for 'June Ponal'
Endhan Kann Munnae...
Singers: Aalap Raju
Lyrics: Madhan Karky
The tune is so typical of Harris. We have heard this tune in many movies before like Unnale Unnale and Vaaranam Aayiram, to name a few. It is like a short and sweet lullaby that might pick up once the visuals are out.
Heartiley Battery...
Singers: Mukesh and Hemachandran
Lyrics: Na. Muthukumar
Nanban’s version of ‘All iz Well’. Very catchy with a constant beat and some funny noises that run in the background. The lyrics emphasize the value of living life in a positive and optimistic manner. Another chartbuster that will rock the screens for sure. Hemachandran and Mukesh have had a blast singing this. It is quite evident from the energy and positive vibes that this song generates. This song has definitely lived up to the Hindi cult classic “All iz Well”.
Irukaana Illaiyaana Idupaanaa..
Singers: Vijay Prakash, Javed Ali and Sunidhi Chauhan
Lyrics: Pa. Vijay
A song dedicated to Ileana’s svelte figure and waist-line. Vijay Prakash sounds so much like Hariharan in this song with his energy and enthusiasm. A sure shot super-duper hit song that will show the heroine in all her glory, the hero’s dancing prowess and director Shankar’s liking for grandeur and magnificent sets. It has some nice catchy lines in the form “Olli Jelly Belly Malli”. Another USP of this song is national ‘item number’ sensation Sunidhi Chauhan’s voice.
Nalla Nanban...
Singers: Ramakrishnan Murthy
Lyrics: Na. Muthukumar
Total sentimental sojourn from Harris and the lyricist. Given the original’s reputation for inciting tears in the emotionally charged scenes showing Sharman Joshi’s suicide attempt, this song will also go on the same lines. A nice classical touch all along, through the choice of the singer and the usage of mridangam. The piano and flute before the 2nd stanza are very pleasant on the ears.
Verdict: A winner all the way. Good variety all through the album from Harris Jeyaraj and ample scope for festivities in the theater when Nanban scorches screens for Pongal. Harris Jeyaraj continues his envious winning streak with another sure-shot.

Mission Impossible - Ghost Protocol Review
Now this is what you call versatility. No, we aren't
talking about the 'Mission: Impossible' franchise or the dare devil
escapades that Tom Cruise indulges in (yet again). Instead, we are
talking about Brad Bird, the film's director, for whom this is his first
Live picture. His earlier 'missions' include animation films like
'Ratatouille', 'The Incredibles' and 'The Iron Giant' which only makes
one wonder aloud that how 'impossible' it would have been sounded when
he was appointed as the chosen one for this film. Well, the results are
out now and all one can go ahead and tell Brad is - 'Well done'!
Brad's command over a hitherto unexplored genre (for
him) does come into picture (pun intended) at the very beginning when a
quick chase results in the sudden assassination of a mysterious man.
Whether he is on the good or the bad side is revealed a little while
later but not before a fabulously choreographed jail break sequence
(involving Cruise) ensues. Of course the ingredients are pretty much
intact. There is a big time computer hotshot who knows the drill (Simon
Pegg), a lady who knows how to kick the butt (Paula Patton) and an agent
with a lethal combination of intelligence and power (Jeremy Renner)
joining in later.
Meanwhile it is time to save the world as the quartet
goes about it's mission to ensure that a nuclear weapon (with it's
codes intact) doesn't fall in the hands of wrongdoers. There is a bad
guy, a female contract killer and a code reader who are just some of the
obstacles in the way even as Cruise and his team suffer a bigger blow
with the Government of USA declaring 'Ghost Protocol' on IMF. After all,
this was pretty much expected, what with nothing less than Kremlin
getting blown away by terrorists and the Russians believing (quite
naturally) that Americans are behind the deadly act.
While it is time now for the quartet to set the world
right, it is Cruise and his team that get into quite some globe
trotting as they rush from Moscow (Russia), hop over to Dubai (United
Arab Emirates) and then target Mumbai (India) as the final frontier.
Different locations mean different textures and this is what brings the
fun elements to MIGP. Whole technology pretty much comes into play as
the quartet intrude Kremlin, it is sheer bravura at display at Burj
Khalifa in Dubai with some seductive charm coming into play at a fort in
Mumbai.
Of course with such situations being created for the
world-savers here, there are quite a few sequences that turn out to be
genuine edge of the seat affairs. The one that tops the list is Cruise's
'glide' over Burj Khalifa and even though most of it is visibly 'studio
stuff' in the making, you don't quite mind that as it has an edgy
flavour to it. In comparison the tense conversation that happens at two
floor spaces inside the building is far more engaging as the
conversation threatens to explode into something bloody any time.
While one is reasonably engaged during such pieces
that make you appreciate technology, wit and presence of mind resulting
in a deadly combination of a few fun (if not heart stopping) moments,
there are parts of MIGP where you not just feel that the action is
overdone but also miss that adrenalin rush. At the top of the list is
the sequence involving blazing cars during a sand storm that just
doesn't leave a desired impact. Ditto for the climax sequence in a multi
level car parking which doesn't quite excite and then also ends a
rather abruptly. Frankly, one is left a tad dissatisfied at that point.
To compensate for such minor blemishes, there are
some genuinely entertaining moments that do make you come back to MIGP.
Camaraderie between Cruise and Pegg brings in some genuine fun moments
while the fact that Patton is much more than just eye candy is a welcome
relief. Moreover her seductive act alongside India's import Anil Kapoor
has it's moments as the versatile actor does what he has been doing so
very successfully in Bollywood films for over three decades. Fortunately
he doesn't try to change his act for his Hollywood venture and comes up
with a brief, but worth remembering act, without any pretence.
'Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol' (MIGP) may
have turned out to be just another good-looking-entertainment-guaranteed
action thriller had the makers decided to make the best use of it's
dollar churning capabilities. Well, the film will indeed make it dollars
but the fact remains that it will also earn some good following for
itself, something that will remain even after the film's run is through.
That's because the film doesn't just unfold as a routine action affair.
It has good level of intelligence incorporated as a part of the
screenplay that makes one think along even as a certain Ethan Hunt
proceeds with his escapades.
Rating: **** 4/5
