Needhaana needhaana is a pleasant and enjoyable hip-hop mix but Raamanaa porandhaalum, while using a hip-hop template again, is pedestrian. Jyothsana and Srinivas’ impressive vocals work well in the slow and tuneful Aagaayam kaanaamal. Vijay Yesudas’ Habibi is adequately dancy with catchy rhythms, while Puyalodu mothidum is nothing more than a noisy mélange of disparate sounds. The Saadhu Miranda Theme is pretty interesting, however. Deepak Dev has had an impressive recent repertoire in Malayalam (Symphony and Naran, to name two of my favorites) but his Tamil debut definitely falls short, with nothing drastically different to let the music stand out.
