'''''Aadukalam''''' ({{Translation|Playground}}) is the [[soundtrack album]] for the [[Tamil film]] [[Aadukalam|of the same name]] directed by [[Vetrimaaran]]. The film featured music composed by [[G. V. Prakash Kumar]] in his second collaboration with Vetrimaaran and [[Dhanush]] after ''[[Polladhavan (2007 film)|Polladhavan]]'' (2007), and its soundtrack album features seven tracks; four songs, two [[Rapping|rap]] numbers and an [[instrumental]]. Lyrics for the songs were written by [[Snehan]], Ekadesi, [[Yugabharathi]], [[V. I. S. Jayapalan]] and [[Yogi B]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|title=Five Reasons To Watch Aadukalam This Pongal|url=https://www.behindwoods.com/features/visitors-1/jan-11-02/aadukalam-dhanush-08-01-11.html|access-date=2021-06-26|website=www.behindwoods.com}}</ref> The album distributed by [[Sony Music]] was released on 1 December 2010.

The songs in entirety were used as [[Montage (filmmaking)|montages]] (sequences that travel along with the storyline) in the film, with four of the tracks were picturised on the perspective of Dhanush's character and his romance with Taapsee's character. The album opened to critical acclaim praising G. V. Prakash for his work in the soundtrack and score; critics further praised Vetrimaaran for the use of songs as montages throughout the film. Subsequently, the album received multiple accolades at various nominations, with Prakash winning the awards for Best Music Director in all ceremonies.

== Background ==
In contrary to ''[[Polladhavan (2007 film)|Polladhavan]]'', where the film songs were used due to producer's demand of "commercial elements",<ref>{{Cite web|date=2021-01-26|title=6 Things Vetri Maaran Told Film Bazaar About How He Charted His Cinematic Success|url=https://www.filmcompanion.in/features/tamil-features/vetri-maaran-movies-aadukalam-vada-chennai-visaranai-dhanush-how-he-charted-his-cinematic-success-tamil-movies/|access-date=2021-06-26|website=Film Companion|language=en-US}}</ref> director Vetrimaaran planned for six tracks, without [[Lip sync|lip-sync]] but rather used as [[Montage (filmmaking)|montages]] of visuals,{{Sfn|Dhananjayan|2014|page=513}} since Vetrimaaran believed that the songs were used to move the story forward and not treated as commercial elements, as a result to be "realistic" and "contemporary".<ref>{{Cite web|date=2019-11-14|title=How are songs useful in tamil movies?|url=https://www.dtnext.in/News/Cinema/2019/11/14011929/1197467/How-are-songs-useful-in-tamil-movies.vpf|access-date=2021-06-26|website=dtNext.in|language=en|archive-date=21 December 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211221161428/https://www.dtnext.in/News/Cinema/2019/11/14011929/1197467/How-are-songs-useful-in-tamil-movies.vpf|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name=":1">{{Cite web|title=Aadukalam is a contemporary film|url=https://sify.com/aadukalam-is-a-contemporary-film/articleshow/6930057.cms|access-date=2021-06-26|website=Sify|language=en}}{{dead link|date=September 2022|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref> The use of all songs as montages in its entirety, is first-of-a-kind trend in [[Tamil cinema]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Trends: The montage magic|url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/e-fashion/2011/jun/29/trends-the-montage-magic-267419.html|access-date=2021-06-26|website=The New Indian Express}}</ref> Vetrimaaran added that "due to the short duration of the film, the songs narrate a story within the main plot to move the story faster and also to give the same impact as a normal scene does".<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":4">{{Cite web|date=2016-11-02|title=Why Vetrimaaran is the most interesting director in Tamil films today|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/regional-movies/why-vetrimaaran-is-the-most-interesting-director-in-tamil-films-today/story-3qScAYREy8mSWPxEhkasBO.html|access-date=2021-06-26|website=Hindustan Times|language=en}}</ref>

During the recording session of the film, G. V. Prakash hummed a particular tune he thought that would fit in the scheme of the storyline. As a result, Prakash started composing the song titled as "Yathe Yathe" written by [[Snehan]], and also recorded vocals for the track.

Apart from the rap songs "Porkalam" and "Warriors", the rest of the tracks were picturised of the perspective of the character K. P. Karuppu ([[Dhanush]]), and his romance with Irene ([[Taapsee Pannu]]). The song "Yathe Yathe" is played when Karuppu sees Irene properly for the first time, and "En Vennilave" is about Karuppu's thoughts after Irene refuses to love him. The song "Ayyayo" is played when Irene has a change of heart, rekindles Karuppu's feelings towards her.<ref name=":4" /> Although, all the songs were used as montages in the film, it featured a dance sequence for the song "Otha Sollala" crooned by [[Velmurugan]]. It was choreographed by Dinesh Kumar, featuring Dhanush as K. P. Karuppu, shaking his [[lungi]], dances on the busy streets of [[Madurai]] as if nobody's watching, after Irene reciprocated his proposal.<ref name=":5">{{Cite web|date=2021-03-27|title=How Vetrimaaran-Dhanush became a hit pair|url=https://www.deccanherald.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/how-vetrimaaran-dhanush-became-a-hit-pair-967034.html|access-date=2021-06-26|website=Deccan Herald|language=en}}</ref> It served as one of the signature dance moves and was praised by audiences and fans.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Nathan|first=Archana|title=Picture the song: "Oththa Sollala" is the ultimate street dancing number|url=https://scroll.in/reel/847661/picture-the-song-oththa-sollala-is-the-ultimate-street-dancing-number|access-date=2021-06-26|website=Scroll.in|language=en-US}}</ref>

== Critical reception ==
The album opened to positive critical feedback with Karthik C of ''Behindwoods'' gave 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "GV Prakash Kumar has shown more promise with this album. It is quite evident that he has either tried to be on the same scale or be subdued and not go overboard, even if there are opportunities in this album. His experiments with contrasting sounds do pass to an extent. The songs would certainly make an impact if they are situational as there is no fantasy involved".<ref>{{Cite web|title=Aadukalam Music Review|url=http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-music-reviews/review-1/aadukalam-music-review.html|access-date=2021-06-26|website=www.behindwoods.com}}</ref> Karthik Srinivasan of Milliblog opined that "Vetrimaaran and Prakash's combination works far better than their previous film ''[[Polladhavan (2007 film)|Polladhavan]]''".<ref>{{Cite web|title=Aadukalam (Music review), Tamil – G V Prakash Kumar by Milliblog!|url=https://milliblog.com/2010/11/10/aadukalam-music-review-tamil-g-v-prakash-kumar/|access-date=2021-06-26}}</ref> A critic from ''[[Sify]]'' highlighted the score and songs as "one of the major plus for the film",<ref>{{Cite web|title=Aadukalam-Review|url=https://www.sify.com/movies/aadukalam-review-review-tamil-pclxOKbibghba.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150511013945/http://www.sify.com/movies/aadukalam-review-review-tamil-pclxOKbibghba.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=11 May 2015|access-date=2021-06-26|website=Sify|language=en}}</ref> whereas Pavithra Srinivasan of Rediff called that the music "adds depth to the proceedings".<ref>{{Cite web|last=Srinivasan|first=Pavithra|title=Aadukalam is impressive|url=https://www.rediff.com/movies/review/south-review-aadukalam/20110114.htm|access-date=2021-06-26|website=Rediff|language=en}}</ref> ''[[The Hindu]]''-based critic Karthik Subramanian, apart from reviewing Prakash's work in the background score, further praised Vetrimaaran's idea of using songs as montages, calling it as "excellent" and "blends with the narrative".<ref>{{Cite news|last=Subramanian|first=Karthik|date=2011-01-22|title='Aadukalam': Fascinating shades of grey|language=en-IN|work=The Hindu|url=https://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/lsquoAadukalamrsquo-Fascinating-shades-of-grey/article15531664.ece|access-date=2021-06-26|issn=0971-751X}}</ref>
