Disclaimer : This is a personal opinion of the leaked songs of the much hyped tamil movie Sivaji. May have spoilers. The author is no way related to the persons who released the songs on the internet. The author is not a die-hard Rajnikanth or A.R.Rehman fan. So, expect spoilers. And one last thing, if you are looking for the links to download the songs, I am sorry! Try elsewhere.
India is out of the cricket world cup 2007. What next? 
Sivaji, the output of Superstar Rajnikanth and director Shankar combination is making news now. Music is by A.R.Rehman and as always expectations and stakes are high. Latest news is that four songs of the movie Sivaji, are leaked out and doing rounds on the internet before the official launch of the songs. Rumours are spreading across the internet with some saying that the versions released are scratches and the final version is nowhere near to the leaked ones.
Rajni movie, news about leaked songs, media speculation, hype and rumours tempted me to listen to them. Who wants to be left behind? The four songs I listened to were of good quality (192 kbps , 44 khz mp3 quality).
Here is my review of the leaked songs. As always with every A.R.Rehman film, the songs does not stick to the mind immediately. 
But are catchy, after hearing them twice or thrice.
Sahara pookal poothatho
Unwritten law - Every Rajni movie should have a melody song shot at a foreign location.
I guess this song sung by Udit Narayan must fall into the category of Baaba kichu kichu thaa, Konja Neram konja neram and the like. This song is a mellifluous one and I have started humming it since I heard it the first time. It’s been long time since one heard Udit Narayan singing a Tamil song the Tamil way. Thanks to Rehman for making it happen. ;-) Hope that the song is shot well with Rajni not dancing the way he did for Baba kichu kichu thaa song. :-P
Poompaavaai aambal aambal, Punnagayo Mouwal mouwal (vaa ji vaa ji vaa ji, en jeevan nee Sivaji)
The track by Hariharan and chorus has some and good lyrics in Tamil (Vairamuthu?). I think it is time for me to buy a good Tamil dictionary.;-) Sample lyrics (easy ones).
Male : Adi Nettail Nilavey, Rettail Thimirey
Nenjai Mutti kollu
Female : vaa ji vaa ji vaa ji, en jeevan nee Sivaji (twice)
Oru Koodai Sunlight
This number made me laugh the first time I heard it. :mrgreen: Are we in India or at US? Why should one have a RAP song that too in a Rajni movie? Did Rehman forget the BABA RAP? Leave RAP to the westerners. They are good at it. Let us do what we are best at. Rehman, notorious for his late night recordings might not have left the singers out for nature call. One can feel it when the singers try really hard under the cover of rapping. In tamil slang we say it this way when a singer tries to hard. :-P
இந்த முக்கு முக்குறான்
intha mukku mukkuraan
One consoltaion is that Rajni’s smile is included in bits at certain instances of the song. 
Theme Music
Is this the real theme music? I doubt it.
Overall the music is good. One need to wait for the official audio launch till the April 4th and give the final verdict on the music. 
And also watch the movie to see how Rajni has danced in style.
Tid bits
Was going through a Tamil weekly and it was mentioned that punch dialogue in the movie is “ji, Sivaji” and Rajni says this is in different voice modulations and it might resemble ”Bond, James Bond”. And adding to this, music will be blared and voices shouting ji sivaji in the background with DTS effect. I think it is a festive treat for all Rajni fans.
hi karthik..
from ur review i think u r quite unsatisfied with the songs.. the theme music u heard is not from sivaji. u r going to hear a great surprise in sunlight song. u will c a great difference in the final version. though its not an official report, trusted sources say so. there is a great rap with blaaze and SPB which is gonna rock bigtime. wait for another surprise in sahana song.. its gonna b a musical trat after april 4th.. wait for the magic! ARR rocks.
Prem,
Let’s wait for another 9 days and see the final outcome. Is someone from the production house think tank trying to create publicity by letting out all these rumours and bits? 
Whatever! Rajnikanth’s movie does not need publicity of any sorts. Does it? 
Welcome here and a big Hi!
@karthi,
You are right karthi. Does he need any publicity? These bits might have been out due to someone trying to disturb his name and fame. We are all eagerly waiting for that day when all orginal sound tracks would be out. Will anyone search for his songs in Internet? I think everyone would prefer hearing it in a orginal cassette or a disc. What say?
Great new look
… for your blog I mean! As for Sivaji – well, its ARR, so I’m waiting for it too!
@Deepak,
And by the way, latest news that due to thi leakage, the audio release may be preponed to 2 of April. 500 websites are already hosting the songs for download and the prouction house is thinking of legal actions against these sites under cyber crime. 
Rajni movies never need publicity. I dying to see it the first day. I am pretty sure that I will not get tickets that easily. Need to check with someone who can get it for me?
@Shikha,
You do not like Rajni movies? I remember Umesh telling me some years back that Rajni films have big fan fare in Kerala too. Now that he has fans in Japan, no wonder he is called the superstar. I will try to write up a review of Baatshaa or Baasha or Basha. The all time big favorite of mine. Neither Sun TV is tired of broadcasting it nor we are tired or bored of watching it. 
Credit goes to Sadish Bala for creating this wonderful theme.
Hey, check your facts man! Oru kudai Sunlight is not RAP for sure. Its mix of caribbean music + Hip Hop + fusion.
So you expect Balamuralikrishna kind of music for rajini or what???
He is was and always will be the messaih of masses and caters to their tastes.
Naya,
Welcome here. Balamuralikrishna or Western music does not fit Rajni’s movies. The type of music that fits Rajni’s movies is like the one in Baatsha, Arunachalam etc;
nothing to say special
very very very nice
really its cool man
can you mail me the videosong of Arivadeharan Macha macha machanay
please
