Just when you thought that Ilayaraja has put his synth days behind, he reaches for that embarrassing sound all over again. Barring the uncomplicated and heartfelt tune of Modalane everything else is a bewildering concoction of awkward sounds, long deemed exclusive to B-grade Tamil productions. Muthuthu is the 80s Telugu sensuousness gone awry while Om shivahom is a jumbled mess with uneasy choruses. Hey maamu and Denna are distressingly bad while, after a good start, Enidu fritters away in the charanam portions. SPB treats Devadi deva well, but it’s such a standard tune that the effort seems pointless. Exasperating soundtrack!
