Shreya Ghoshal does damn well in Boochade, carrying the racy tune in her own style. Siddarth Mahadevan delivers Sweety perfectly, given the easily appealing, breezy melody. Thaman cranks up the...

Ettuthikkum Madhayaanai (Music review), Tamil – Manu Ramesan
Asanthuputtene, in Anoop Shankar’s vocals, is earthy and catchy! Nellai cheemayithu sounds like early Rahman’s rustic sound, and that prominent hook is endearing. Vedikkuthu and Ettuthikkum have background’ish sounds at...

Besides the fact that many people seem upset over Kochadaiiyaan’s animation (motion-capture, at that, not to include people who are forgiving about the quality of animation due to assorted reasons...

Engae pogudho’s soaring Hollywood-style composition is disjoint and at best background’ish. Its other version, Rana’s Dream, by London Sessions Orchestra showcases the tune’s rich tapestry better. Medhuvaagathaan is a throwback...

Innaleyolam is a standard Malayalam melody, but the aptly chosen vocals of Vijay Yesudas and Swetha makes a big difference, along with the soft, amiable lilt. That Soni de nakhre...

Simbu seems to have given Thaman the brief of recreating Loosu penne and the result is Engathaan porantha – vastly similar, but lacking that smooth stickiness and loaded with awkwardly...

Naresh Iyer is, as usual, in good form in July madam, even though the otherwise likeable tune seems overcooked with the music. Bachelor enekke is the social media song, rattling...
Continue reading...Jigarthanda (Music review), Tamil – Santhosh Narayanan
Rita and Antony Dasan’s unusual vocals and Santhosh funky music run riot over Kannamma. Ding dong is uber cool gangsta rap transposed to Tamil, while Pandi naatu’s brass band sound...
