NEPALLI IN POLICE THREAT

According to V Z Durai who directed Nepali with Bharath and Meera Jasmine as lead stars the response to the film has been satisfactory and he owes this success to his entire crew from the lead actors to editor to music director Srikanth Deva. Durai was much pleased with Meera Jasmine’s cooperation in the intimate scenes with Bharath. On a different note the director reveals that he is very much interested in music and has sung a song in Nepali. He also adds that he has even worked in front of the camera in a few films.

Meanwhile Joint Commissioner of Police of Chennai Mr Ravi had written a letter to the director that the film had portrayed police force in a very cheap vain and he wanted those scenes to be removed immediately. A letter in this regard has also been sent to the censor board. When the film was released the duration of it was for 3 hours and 10 minutes which was reduced by 20 minutes due to public demand. Now if few more police sequences are also removed, Nepali might further be shortened. Director’s response on this will be known soon and we will keep you posted.

Review of nepali


Appears to be a thriller where actor Bharath dons three roles. The female lead is played by the talented actress Meera Jasmine. Five regular songs and three small instrumental compositions. The songs have a heavy western feel to them.

Priya:
Lyrics: Yugabharathy, Vocals: Karthik, Bombay Jayashree, V.Z.Dhurai, Saveetha, Suchitra

The piece opens with a small dialogue between the lead pair.

Nepali
A light, teasing one that sets the tempo for some languorous music to follow later. The lyrics are sensuous. The male voice is high-pitched and is soothingly offset by the seductive, low voice of Jayashree hinting at dark passions. Lovely sax interludes and delicate assortment of sounds are very suggestive. One can almost imagine the leisurely progress of passion.



Wanna Become A Lady Bomb:
Lyrics: Karthik Netha, Vocals: Sunitha Sarathy, Megha and chorus

The singer's voice is very vibrant and aligns perfectly with the stringed instruments and the words also flow along well with the beats. Lovely use of rhythms. Sexy intonation.

Nepali

Hey--you--wow :
Lyrics: Vijaya Sagar, Vocals: Tanvi, V.Z.Dhurai, Siva and chorus

Quite a fast-paced number. Plenty of English words thrown in. The song seems to be a celebration of passion and the guitar. These sounds add to the general mood. A shorter song.


Kanavile Kanavile:
Lyrics: Yugabharathy, Vocals: Sathyan, Gireesh, Swetha

A high-pitched start. Alternated with low-pitched passages. Lovely lyrics, visualizing love. Many tactile images are blended in.



Suthudhe, Suthudhe:
Lyrics: Karthik Netha, Vocals: Yugendran, Vijay and chorus

Funnily, recalls some old songs tuned by Ilayaraja and M.S.V. The song has a discotheque, strobe light feel to it. Funky but somewhat banal lyrics! Heavy relentless rhythms. A slightly longer duration lessens its charm. One that gets the feeling that it is a song played out closer to the climax. Good visuals can enhance its chances at the audio charts


The last three tracks are, interestingly, instrumental (with a few voices in the background).

The Words of Nepali:

Is it a flashback? Is the character of Nepali being introduced? The male voice comes across as dark and brooding and the female voice is plaintive. The words are unintelligible. The movie alone can explain it. Eerie and different.



Love in A (minor):

Delicate opening strains dovetail neatly into a waltz rhythm. Lovely, pensive music and nice use of flute and trumpet. Stays long in the mind after it ends. Heavily inspired by Quentin Tarantino kind of music.

Nepali

Sound of action:

The sound of a siren runs as a connecting thread through some small movements. Interesting - and it recalls a seventies’ chase sequence.


Verdict: The album, clearly targeted at young people is a worthy attempt. The music also seems to be composed to be in sync with the narrative. So a good showing at the box office would in turn propel the audio to a greater level.

no more first night

As part of Nepali’s audio release at the Sathyam theatre, invitees were treated to a song sequence. Everyone present came out feeling that the song was very special. It shows Bharath and Meera Jasmine in a sensuous song that has been tastefully and atmospherically shot. The tune by Deva is marvelously melodious and contemporary (a little unlike the usual Deva tune), the memorable lyrics are by Yuga Bharathi and the playbacks are Bombay Jayashree and Karthik.

There is an interesting prelude to the song: Bharath and Meera arrive at their dream house, a newly constructed flat that they are planning to move into. Bharath has brought her there to show the flat off, but before he can say anything, Meera beats him to it: “The bedroom will be here, the kitchen here, the study here,” she begins rattling off her preferences. “Please da, I want this first day to be as unforgettable as our first night.” A stunned Bharath says, “I’m not a talker, I’m a do-er,” and embraces her. The song begins.

After the screening of this song, director Parthiban came up to praise director Durai’s work. “There are some movies that leave us with a line that we don’t forget and keep repeating. In Ramana it was “Forgiveness is the only word in Tamil I don’t like.” Bhagyaraj gave us that line about drumsticks. After Nepali, people are going to talk about first day, not first night!”
