Karthik pitches his best in the slow and enticing, Arey rey, whose chorus pieces blend beautifully with the melodic phrases, while the rock’ish college-life track Jil jil jinga borrows mildly from Queen. The ballad-styled title song’s rock version has Naresh Iyer in top form with Mickey supporting him ably in the chorus and in the evocative backgrounds. O my friend is a mellow ode to friendship and Ye cheekati is a tad commercial, but predictably catchy. Shekar Kammula’s move from KM Radhakrishnan (despite Anand and Godavari!) to Mickey J Meyer seems to have earned him commendably interesting results!
