“Vaathi Coming” by Anirudh Ravichander & Gana Balachandar

DV:

When a song makes my daughters want to dance they’ll call it “active”. Our family doesn’t always agree on dance music, some of us preferring the four-on-the-floor beat of classic Motown and others the evolved version of that rhythm found in modern house music. But we do agree on “Vaathi Coming”, and not to be hacky but I haven’t found a better word to describe it all year. Over a pounding beat, producer Anirudh Ravichander layers an impressive array of chants, cheers, and melodic lines; the song might collapse into cacophony at any moment if it didn’t keep its headlong forward momentum. And yet it stops precisely, as if daring you to overcommit and lose your balance on the dancefloor, before thundering on yet again. It’s this balance between delicacy and brute force that makes “Vaathi Coming” so undeniable, so memorable. This is active music, you simply can’t stay still during it, I refuse to believe that anyone on earth could.

MG:

It wasn’t until I heard “Vaathi Coming” that it dawned on me that via the capitalist model of constant, unending gains and the gamification of life that prizes speed over strength or skill that I’d lost touch with the thrill of going fast for the sheer joy of watching the world blur. It was just me, Anirudh Ravichander never lost the plot. “Vaathi Coming” blasts through its runtime, mostly subsisting on a frenetic but still human energy. This isn’t a song with a destination in mind or a prevailing mood. I’ve looked at the plot of the film this song soundtracks and it’s a psychological thriller about an abusive orphanage. Vijay, both the star of the movie and the music video, plays an alcoholic professor. I can’t figure out how any of this ties in with Ravichander’s bright, pulsing production and the lack of connection seems only to emphasize that this song exists to move things along. The spanking percussion swats your backside until you, too, are swept up in the crowd, limbs flailing. There’s nothing quite so fun as giving into “Vaathi Coming.”
