ஓமான பெண்ணே / ഓമന പെണ്ണെ/Omana Penne (Darling Girl)
Singers : Benny Dayal, Kalyani Menon | Malayalam Lyrics : Kalyani Menon
My Rating - 9.8/10
Reflections
Whoaaaaa!...........Rahman.....u r impossible!....................no..no....this is no negative remark...rather a remark of FASCINATION......coz...thats what one would feel after listening to this marvel of a ballad!.....OMANA PENNE boasts of vocals from BENNY DAYAL and a lil cameo by KALYANI MENON who has penned down the malayalam part for this song.......Its absolutely....unmissable...even if you don't understand Tamil or Malayalam....forget that fact...go for this track....listen to it once...and you'll automtically listen to it again...your ears will play that track throughout the day....and might even haunt you in your dreams....
Whats more perfect? Rahman's composition....Kalyani's lyrics...or Benny's vocals?...Rahman deserves unprecedented credits....but I don't think stripping off Benny n Kalyani from the credits would be justifiable......coz....the perfect combination of everything is what makes this track work!.....
with that shehnaai....frequenting Benny's musings like a ghost....reminded me of the ending of the track from Delhi-6....REHNA TU...ya....though this track uses such a treasure throughout its length.....which makes it different from all other songs in its genre.....Its got Western backbone...It ain't typical tamil ballad...lil Malayalam folk....on a scale of Carnatic backdrop...and therez no trace whatsoever of Bollywoodish or Punjabi themes!(which unfortunately most of the contemporary Tamil/Mallu tracks depend upon).....Its pure RAHMAN!................I love that malayalam cameo..coz thats the part,,,that I could understand the most... :P....and the other one is when....he says... Unnai..marandhida mudiyathey (Can't forget you)...its simply awesome...felt as if I was witnessing the beauty of Malayali girl whilst the mesmerizing orchards of Palakkad!
Love the track....and you will fall in love too....now I am eager to watch the movie....VINAITHAANDI VARUVAAYA (WILL COME CROSSING THE SKIES FOR YOU)......which is due for release this Valentine's day (most probably)...and thank God....I will be in Kerala at that time....GREAT TIMING!...atleast I can watch that movie.....esp...since its coming from Gautham V Menon...the one who made Vaaranam Ayiram and Minnale (hmm..it ws remade into Hindi too...remember..Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein...yea its the same director).......
