Music review: Ragavan (Tamil – Gangai Amaran)

Kannaadi koppai and Kudimagane advocate drinking effectively, though tune-wise they’re pedestrian. Oothura vidhathil should be Tasmac’s anthem – an old-school kuthu number sung with the necessary verve by Premgi Amaran. Paarthaal is an apology of a song while Sithanna vaasalin has an interesting enough tune, but the over-ambitious orchestration borders on the bizarre. The veteran composer cries his heart out, in vain, in Vaazhvai thedi while Yaarum ariyaa is a slow seduction song with typical 80s moans. Gangai Amaran does have competent soundtracks to his credit, despite a career eclipsed by Ilayaraja. Ragavan attempts to bring it all down, singlehandedly.
