Ondu manchina bindu is familiar Raja territory – a beautiful tune to sink into, but with the synth and awkward trappings that pack it. Karthik and Ramya do handle it...

Style King (Music review), Kannada – Arjun Janya
Ala le sukumari is a curious combination of Arjun’s liking of Harris Jayaraj’s music and some spritely kuthu; passable enough. Gangu gangu too has that Harris effect, but Arjun uses...

Dheem dheem is a charmingly catchy tune. Harikrishna ropes in Tipu to do the honors and he brings in his typical laid-back style to deliver it in style. Karthik and...

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...
