Ponmani theril has a barely functional tune and sounds mighty moth-balled. Swetha and Ujjaini’s seduction song, Nilavu varum neram has a consistently lilting rhythm and a sufficiently catchy tune. With its distinct Latino style, Poothadhu poovu is yet another attempt at seduction (blame Namitha?), with mixed results, while Kattikitta rasavatthaan is painfully outmoded, despite the nostalgic goodwill. Unnai vittaal is the pick of the soundtrack, with Chitra’s incredible singing, an engaging tune and lovely violins playing in the interludes. Yes, this is another time-machine-trip, but Ilayaraja’s music in the Jegan Mohini soundtrack seems to be propping the film’s theme adequately.
