Powerstar!

Song: Powerstar
Movie Name : Puli
Singers : Vijay Prakash, Tanvi Shah
Music Director : A R Rehman

 Like every other fast-paced Rehman song that I have heard in the past, this one too has left a lasting impression upon the third or fourth listening. Starting from thinking that it sounded like garbage, I now am in love with this song! Right from the tribal chants at the beginning of the song, Rehman makes an attempt to sound grand, mysterious, intoxicating and powerful! The psychedelic nature of this song is excellent given the nature of its lyrics and is accented by the Cher-like singing by Tanvi Shah.  My fav portions of the song are the beginning when the drums and chords take off after Vijay's "Your star" and the middle of the first stanza when Tanvi asks

 "Emiti emiti naa neram
Arey enduku ee dowrjanyam"
to be followed by Vijay's answer

"Adharaallo heroin unde
Kulukullo cocaine unde
Andamlo RDX-e nindunde"

"Nayanaallo nicotine undi
Chirunavvullo steroid undi
Allarilo alcohol-e daagundi"

Very cheesy lyrics but made like-able by the singers!
