Paramashiva (Music review), Kannada – Arjun Janya
Rajesh Krishnan breathes life into the lovely tune of Hannagabeku kaayi; Arjun’s orchestration too is clean and perfect, besides the use of chorus! In Hege nee bandhe, Arjun gets Rajesh...

There’s something Sangamam-Rahman about Sudumanal parappil – Dr.Kruthiya’s lyrics are different, and stand out, as much as the four singers’s collective effort, barring minor mismatches, besides Ranjit’s lively tune! Saalaigal...
Continue reading...Adhyaksha (Music review), Kannada – Arjun Janya
