Paadhai’s second effort, Ranam Sugam, is interestingly packaged as a Musical Novelette! The music seems heavily influenced not by the man revered in the CD – A R Rahman, but by Yuvan and Dharan! Dharan-like songs Yaar ival and Thedi soru (Bharathiyaar’s!) work quite well, while in Kaadhal sollu, besides the Yuvan-like Kaadhal sollu portion, the lead singer struggles in the Bombay Jayashree style of singing. The lovely Veyyil mazhai is the pick of the album, while Neer yezhutha is a hilarious talkathon! Ranam Sugam is rough around the edges, but full marks for the creativity in format and packaging!
