There are five songs in the album of which one is repeated. The stamp of Yuvan Shankar Raja is evident throughout. As the film is about love and the emotional upheavals it causes, the songs also capture these sentiments. Lyricist Yugabharathi has written two numbers . The best is ‘Mellasrithal Kathal Than’, sung by the music director himself. It is the first and last song in the album. ‘Alaipayum Nenchile’, sung by Udit Narayanan, is good, while ‘Thappu Thanda Pannum Vayasu’, written by Vaali, and sung by Javed Ali and Bhavadarini is one for the masses. ‘Poovum Poovum’, sung by Vijay Yesudas and Vinaitha, and written by Francis Kruba, is a number you would want to listen over and over again.
What they say…
Producer Saravanan
Being director Suseendran's brother, I had the privilege of working as production manager for films such as Adukalam , Azhagar Samiyin Kudirai , Rajapattai. I am producing my own movie now with the help of my brother. Normally love stories click at the box office, that’s why I chose one to start with and I’m happy it has come out well.
Director Suseendran
From Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu to Rajapattai, I’ve done different kinds of movies. I don’t want my films to be similar. Adhalal is a college love story; the second half of the film is particularly different and I’m confident it will appeal to cinegoers. Both Santhosh and Manisha suit their role of college-going youngsters to a T.
Hero Santhosh
I am a third-year visual communications student at Loyola College. I met director Suseendran, while the shooting of Rajapattai was in progress. When I got a call from him, it was the happiest moment in my life. He has become my mentor. Seeing myself on screen is like a dream-come-true.
Music Director Yuvan Shankar Raja
When the director approached me to score the music for a love story, I was delighted. Music is divine; so is love. When it is a love story the tunes automatically fall into place; the songs come to life in the romantic sequences. Those who’ve heard the tracks have conveyed their appreciation.
