Edharkaga Marubadi & Retro

The song took me back years. I have been a fan of Santhosh Narayanan music since my college days literally consuming all the songs and bgm he had composed previously. There was a freshness element in his songs around 2014-2016 especially in albums like Cuckoo, Ennakul oruvan. Even though he had really technically great albums after that, I couldn’t resonate with his style of music - like I felt something was lacking. But this particular song’s interlude felt like it was inspired from Sudhandhirodi’s bgm - https://youtu.be/7diA8Q3WdLs. It was a short instrumental version back then. Glad we have a song around it.

PS: I watched the movie and I noticed the arena music was the same as the starting of Kashmora’s thakida thakida https://youtu.be/xk-dwq8jFRg. I think this is what he thought of when a war sequence with mass element was involved 😂.
