Allantha doorala with its simple rhythm and basic, but captivating interludes, is a nostalgia trip down to the Ilayaraja songs that we grew up with – SPB adding significant appeal. Adnan rocks in the romping Cheli chamaku. Yuvan brings his punchy techno stuff back, in the haunting Manasa mannichamma. Naa manasuki also adds pep with those little techno tweaks but this one’s a sweet melody worth the rewind. O baby sounds labored, but the sober Yemaindi rounds off the soundtrack well with its ambitious interludes and classical/ ghazal’ish feel. Yuvan does very well in AMAV, ably supported by Selvaraghavan’s unconventional approach.
