Neeye en and Kaapatha mudiyala have incredibly silly and coarse lyrics. But while the former has an interesting sound and tune, the latter actually has a vintage Ilayaraja style rhythm and tune pattern – the only issue is that we’re quite far from the 80s now! Kadavul edhukku is highly sleep-inducing. Oththa pulla and Kalagakkara use familiar folk tunes, in rather staid packages. Ayiram ayiram is so amateurish in every sense – tune, sound, interludes, lyrics, choice of instruments – it’s shocking that it’s from an established composer. Jassie Gift, as a composer, indeed seems a flash in the pan!
