Antony Dasan is perfect for the street-brass-band sound of Gabrielinte that even adds a clever dash of RD Burman! Athiraliyum wears its melodic retro like a badge of honor, even as Lathika struggles and lets Vijay Yesudas carry it. Sooraj Santhosh is excellent in handling the lovely soft-rock sound of Thaniye. Thira thira is catchy and lively enough, despite the predominantly early-Rahman faux-folk sound. Virinja poonkurunne, by Vishnu himself, is the soundtrack’s whimsical best, with a quirky sound that accommodates a sliver of the Muslim sound. Vishnu Vijay makes a confident and interesting move from a flautist to a composer.
