Irumbu Kuthirai (Music review), Tamil – G V Prakash Kumar
Barring the fact that GVP sings about pasta instead of a woman he’s supposed to address, Penne penne has a lovely tune, beautifully crafted with the accordion sound and that...

Maar salaam is the usual, bombastic hero intro song, but Suchith Suresan’s vocals helps it soar. Junior NTR, with some tactical support from Thaman, aces Rakaasi – thoroughly foot-tapping! Thaman...

Dukki tikki obviously rehashes snatches of Variya from Pudhupettai, but what’s more intriguing is that it sounds more like a Thaman song than Yuvan’s! But he channelises the Bhatt-clan sound...
