Un kangal has an easy, lilting tune and the Raman Mahadevan-Shreya Ghoshal combo elevate the song considerably with their vocals. Its other version includes Ranina Reddy as a pointless and unnecessary frill. Vairamuthu’s lyrics connecting industrial machinery and workers is Aalaikkaari‘s clear highlight; it has an endearing tune and is well sung by Vijay Prakash too! Aathaadi falls back on a familiar tune and rhythm, and doesn’t offer much. Rojamalaiye, sung by Jassie Gift, sounds much like Jassie’s own outdated, out of form compositions. Krishnaveni Panjaalai is a big step ahead for NR Raghunandan, after the largely disappointing Thenmerku Paruvakaatru.
