Idhayam’s sweet melody is perfectly handled by Sivamani, undone only by Javed Ali who seems to be occasionally mincing Tamil words. Naanum unnil paadhi is straight out of Sivamani’s pop album, Mahaleela… pulsating world music influences, headlined by the Latino sound. Neeyae is mighty unique, with the composer using water as one of the persistent backdrops – Shreya is her dependable self in the mellifluous tune. Shabbir Kumar is fantastic in the catchy rock track, Yaaro yaar aval, significantly spiked by Sivamani’s punchy percussion, much like the way he does in the Theme too. Competent solo film debut by Sivamani.
