Kadhal ennulle, barring that interesting nadaswaram interlude, has nothing new, tune-wise. Kaatru veesum fares much better – Haricharan’s vocals are great, as is the hummable melody. Benny Dayal’s Evan avan has manic energy running throughout; that Floyd-style break, mid-way, is a killer! Neram theme is intriguing, complete with a neat thavil and guitar-led ending. Phone Booth too is highly imaginative in its use of guitar, set a wonderful tune, while Thiruttu Isai is a wonderfully funky reworking of Für Elise. And then there is Pistah – massively absurd and insane catchy! Rajesh Murugesan makes a striking debut, even beyond Pistah!
