Oh nenjil, for all practical purposes, is a standard, one-hook Himesh tune, except that he’s not singing and is sung in Tamil. To be fair, the anupallavi and charanam are indeed appealing. Koyambedu beensu tries to eulogize cinema, but the lyrics are downright silly. The rhythmic Kannirandum sounds at best like a decent Deva song. Va va thalaiva, with its archaic middle eastern tilt, is pointlessly outdated! So is Check checkda. Bommalattam’s music proves that the talented director is way past his prime and is completely out of his comfort zone. And, Himesh makes an expectedly uninspired Tamil debut!
