Penne penne has a nice enough tune, but it’s Vishnu’s spartan orchestration that really engages. The guitar+ghatam mix is particularly alluring, as is the high-pitched outtakes and the mid-way tune shift. The composer sings Sumbharani too confidently, aided by a funky piano-led sound and a likeable jazzy edge to the tune. Pranayamanithu‘s sweeping Kerala-Muslim sound is broadly interesting, and Vishnu’s electric guitar additions too work well in context. Anwar Sadath’s raucous rendition of TV is aptly kuthu-fied but nothing more, while Salih Haneef almost cries his way in the otherwise tuneful Laila. From 2015’s , Vishnu’s music has improved oh-so-mildly.
