Poovukku is a merely-pleasant song to resurface with the post-Gautham Menon form for Darbuka Siva. Even Vaazhum valluvarae is short and situational. But Siva stuns with Yaenadi! It could easily be from a Gautham film – breezy melody, phenomenally sung by Haricharan and a delightful anupallavi-to-pallavi bridge! Geedhaara kiliye is even better!! Sathyaprakash is superb with the wonderfully affecting melody that has an instantly-recognizable homage to Ilayaraja’s Poomaalai (Sindhu Bhairavi), in the anupallavi! Ajaneesh’s Eppodhum is standard-issue pathos, but he does incredibly well in Nenjil mamazhai, bringing Ulidavaru Kandante-style form in the captivating song! 3 songs literally ‘straighten’ this soundtrack!
