Mohit Chauhan seems terribly uncomfortable with his Tamil pronunciation in Hello yaaradhu, even though the breezy tune is not bad at all. Thankfully, the other version by Vijay Prakash makes amends and helps the song. Kerala pola is as stereotypical of Kerala, by Tamil cinema, as Shah Rukh Khan’s team stereotypes Tamil, in Chennai Express. It is sung by Jassie Gift, at that! Its Javed Ali’s turn to maul Tamil in Aangalai nambaadhe – staid tune, badly sung. Vijay Prakash covers Roop Kumar Rathod’s poor pronunciation in Kollai azhage, and Kumaran’s engaging Hindustani’sh tune helps! Overall, poor effort from Kumaran.
