The mandatory hero intro song Thotta Power drags and reminds one of dozen other HJ songs. The pedestrian Achu Vella Karumbe has a strong Kovil/ Arul hangover. Yaaridamum saves the album from the Silambarasan-crassness, though Ramesh Vinayagam just cannot match Srinivas’ original rendition of Gharshana’s Ye Chilipi. With just one heroine (Gopika), the two female voices in the very pleasant Uyire En Uyire, surprises! Jaari Singaari will ensure that HJ is inundated with Umma Ummamma accusations. The theme is typical HJ – choir’ish and gothic in sound. Silambarasan is lucky to have two great melodies and deserves the three other non-starters.
