Given the starkly folk influence in the film’s theme, it’s no surprise to hear Vidyasagar dipping into traditional villupaattu-like tunes for Kattipudikkum karadiya and Kodaangi vandhirukken. Both are steeped in extremely familiar folk tunes, but with utterly disjoint structures. But Potta kuruviyo is vintage Vidyasagar with a lovely melody wrapped in a pleasing, mod orchestration. Kombuvitta kaalaiyenna is rousing and rhythmic like a standard hero intro track should be! The Imayamalayum remix is haphazard and painfully messy. Barring Potta kuruviyo, Vidyasagar’s tunes fall completely flat at least in the soundtrack – they may perhaps add better value to the movie, visually.
