Music Review: Paris Paris (Tamil)
Composer(s): Amit Trivedi

Sudoku Attam is Amit Trivedi in Ghanchakkar mode, the song's askew and accessible beat underlined by groovy pop stylings, while Annachi Kondadu is peppy folk enlivened by Jassie Gift and Ananya Bhat's vivacious rendition. Odukka Neneccha is Supriya Lohith's show, her vocals beautifully adorning the uniformly gorgeous melody that blends the composer's trademark soft rock flourishes with a delicate layer of warm acoustic guitar riffs. Vazhve Neelade, likewise, soars in Chinmayi and Sathyaprakash's vocals, even as Trivedi's tasteful instrumentation (santoor!) sends the meditative acoustic guitar ballad skittering across exciting new directions, turning it into a colourful blast of dubstep hooks and intriguing sonic textures. Padaigal Illai Endru is another highpoint, and Trivedi has excellent help in Shashaa Tirupati, who hits nary a false note of the rock piece that's characterised by melancholic strings and frenetic sitar breaks. Tirupati comes back a second time, this time joined by Nikhita Gandhi, for what's a bouncy Latinate number Iduva En Bhoomi, and in the closer Enge En Santosham, Haricharan Seshadri leads the song's electronic soundscape, the cascading synths and sweeping strings lending it a plaintive, tense edge. In his first pan-southern effort Paris Paris (titled That Is Mahalakshmi, Zam Zam, and Butterfly in Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada), Amit Trivedi crafts a breezy effort that, while no patch on its original, is a fine musical concoction.
