Naanga podiyan, beyond the catchy horns and rhythm, and full-throated singing by Anirudh and Diwakar, just about passes muster owing to its predictable tune. It’s techno version, Sharpu gangu fares a bit better, actually! Podu podu is a lot of fun, with its very local hip-hop mix interspersed with hilarious lyrics and RJ Balaji’s utterances. After conquering multiple Indian languages, Arijit Singh makes his Tamil debut in the easily hummable ballad Neeyae. The soundtrack’s best of reserved for veterans Hariharan and Chitra who breathe life into Vizhigalil vizhindhavano‘s saccharine-sweet melody, loaded with thavil and mandolin! Good sophomore effort from Vivek-Mervin!
