The short, tuneful Netri pottil is a lovely listen, reminiscent of Harris’ work for Jeeva, but the reggae-tinged Amali thumali is terribly dull. Aganaga is shockingly soporific, while Gala gala starts off poorly, but works up some charm as it progresses. Even the Sriram Parthasarathy – Bombay Jayashree combo cannot save Venpaniye – the base is that jaded and drowsy. Thankfully, the soundtrack has a smashing savior in Ennamo aedho, an expansive tune punctuated by the fabulous ‘Yeno kuviamilla’ phrase. KV Anand may be a master storyteller, but his music sense continues to be strictly average; Harris doesn’t help either.
