North 24 Katham

Movie:North 24 Katham
Music Director:Govind Menon
North 24 Katham marks the debut of musician Govind Menon, who is a member of a popular band. Four out of the five songs have been composed by Govind, and the youngster shows great promise for sure. It is only once in a while that you come across something completely fresh, and the song Porumo is one such. It opens with a delightful guitar riff and other sounds including that of Indian instruments, add on slowly. The upbeat feel remains throughout the song, and the energy doesn’t dip even once.
Raghu Dixit’s raw voice complements Bijibal’s bits in the middle, and all in all, addiction is guaranteed. Tharangal is a breezy song with a lilting melody, and the vocals by Siddharth Menon and Jeba Niyaz, both members of the same band, are impressive. You get a sense of déjà vu with Pontharam, which has a consistent disco music in the background. The English and Hindi vocals in the middle make it interesting and the catchy song is sheer energy.
Thanaro, the title song, has been composed by Rex Vijayan, and has a reggae touch to it, with some traditional tunes on electrical guitar woven into it. Sreenath Bhasi delivers the vocals, and the video featuring the actor musician is a fun watch. However, as in his earlier compositions, the composer has included a chorus humming in this one as well.
