Jigarthanda: Music from the Motion Picture is the soundtrack album of the 2014 musical gangster film of the same name. Santhosh Narayanan composes the album and the background score for the film. The soundtrack album features 9 tracks, all of them being shorter than four minutes.[1]
Development
Santhosh Narayanan recorded the music for the film along with his newly launched Sandy's Jazz Band. While Santhosh, besides composing, played the keyboard, Australian musicians Hamish Stuart and Graham Jesse played the drums and the saxophone, respectively, and Leon James and Naveen, both from Chennai, played the electronic piano and guitar respectively.[1]
Release
The audio rights were purchased by Think Music.[2] The official track list of the film was published on March 1, 2014 [3] and the soundtrack album was launched at Sathyam Cinemas in Chennai on March 3, 2014 along with the theatrical trailer of the film.[4] The soundtrack of the Telugu dubbed version was released on July 17, 2014 at Taj Deccan in Hyderabad. The Telugu lyrics had been written by Vennelakanti and Chandrabose.[5][6]
Reception
The album received positive response. The Times of India stated, "Santhosh Narayanan shows, yet again, that he is one of those composers to watch out for — both for his new sounds and tunes. Jigarthanda is another worthy addition" and rated the album 3 out of 5.[7] Baradwaj Rangan in his review wrote, "It’s a good thing Santhosh Narayanan is around. His flamboyant score imbues even the weaker scenes with a Tarantinoesque swagger".[8] Sify wrote, "Santosh Narayanan’s background score is the major plus of the movie, as he is able to capture the mood of the film".[9]
The Original soundtrack was released on August 22, 2014 at the Radio Mirchi station in Chennai.[10] It features the complete soundtrack and background music along with some dialogues from the film.[11]
