While there’s nothing fundamentally wrong with Devi’s music in Kandhasamy, the composer seems to be running out of ideas. The hyper-catchy Excuse me; the Shakira-inspired Allegra, the breathless ode to Pizza, Idhellaam dupe; and the sensuous, cool Meow meow are definitely groovy, though they are dead simple and repetitive tunes. Where the strain shows are in tracks like the completely hackneyed En peru meenakumari, the ridiculous medley-styled DSP mix of the title song and well as the Vikram-sung version itself and the rehash of the only retro-tune Devi seems to be aware of, in Mambo mamiya. Devi needs a reboot.
