Aadungadaa & Maambazham stray into T.Rajendar’s kuppam and sound as pointless as they could, with utter nonsense in the name of lyrics! Two of Mani Sharma’s Telugu Pokiri tracks show up then…Dole dole is slightly better than the assembly-line En chella peru. The dreary Nee mutham ondru is more of a glorified nursery rhyme while the faux-reworking of Vasantha mullai is the only track with some chutzpah! The original Pokiri had a better selection, in terms of Gala gala and Devuda, even if they were blatant lifts. In Tamil, Mani Sharma miscalculates big time and ends up with an egg!
