Aha mazhaiyum illai makes fantastic use of Maand raaga and along with Haricharan and Hamsika Iyer’s vocals and lilting rhythms makes for a superb listen! Its reprise uses the saxophone to tantalizing effect and uses a more ghazal-like sound with Nikhil Mathew and Saptaparna excelling in the vocals! Needhi or naalum seems like Panthuvarali and beyond Palakkad Sriram’s impressive singing, is largely background’ish. Vijay Yesudas and Swetha Mohan breeze the gorgeously pleasant Pesaamal pesum, while Vinmeeniley‘s sweeping tune and humming, in Karthik’s vocals, are absolutely captivating! After some middling work, Manikanth Kadri is back to showcase his original promise, thankfully!
