Naalai

Trademark Karthikraja rhythms galore in Kattabomman and Arai adi thoorathil. While the former is predictable, Arai adi is extremely interesting for its varying tempo, interludes and pattern. Nalaai indha kaalam carries forward Ilayaraja’s legacy in its tune and interludes. Idhi maayalogam with an ingratiating Malgudi Shuba seems like that mandatory, forced item number. Oru maatram, with its captivating flow and some mesmerizing orchestration, reminiscent of Raja, is the pick of the album! Its unfortunate that Karthikraja reserves his better stuff for lesser-known productions while he seems uninterested in compositions for relatively bigger productions like Mercury Pookkal. Definitely deserves a hearing!
