Siru thodudhalile is pure, Dharan-style, free flowing goodness – a lovely melody with an unconventional structure and splendid vocals by Bombay Jayashree and Haricharan. Suchitra’s Atlantic oceanukku has absurd Tanglish, but the techno tune is neat. Gangster is hardcore, full-on rap and hip-hop with interesting interference in local Tamil – a bit too alien in structure and style for our comfort perhaps. Makkah is definitely catchy, with an assortment of kuthu and rap backgrounds, but using Hey Ganpat’s prominent hook is totally unexpected! Barring the continuing influence of Burn/ Jazz rap variety, Dharan has a nifty little soundtrack in Laadam.
