Anbu dhaan seems like a web 2.0 version of classic Raja songs like Uchi vagundheduthu, the guitar’y addition and Krishnaraj’s soulful rendition making an impression! In Aagaasa nilavu there is...

Yaamirukka Bayame (Music review), Tamil – S.N.Prasad
Haricharan sounds fantastic in the tranquil Vellai pandhu, with Rahman’s influence written large over the song orchestration. Ennamo edho has a nice lilt with the accordion sound and a catchy...
Continue reading...Arima Nambi (Music review), Tamil – Sivamani
Idhayam’s sweet melody is perfectly handled by Sivamani, undone only by Javed Ali who seems to be occasionally mincing Tamil words. Naanum unnil paadhi is straight out of Sivamani’s pop...
Continue reading...Un Samayal Arayil (Music review), Tamil – Ilayaraja
Intha porapudhan’s lyrics are significantly more appealing – or, tastier – than the simplistic tune. Eeramai eeramai is vintage Raja – an absolutely delectable melody, beautifully sung by Ranjith and...

Nenjukkulla nee is an easy winner, thanks to the rollicking rhythm, clubbed with infectious vocals. Low aana life is a consistently groovy ode to Sunny Leone, complete with a fantastic...

En kadhal has a lovely tune, but with clunky synth that’s undone only by the interludes and nifty violin in the anupallavi. Pony Prakash Raj seems like a horribly wrong...

Azhagu, understandably, holds a strong whiff of Indira’s Nila kaigiradhu – the instantly likeable, ethereal tune and Unnkrishnan’s daughter Uthara evoking an adorable innocence akin to Harini in the earlier...

With Shreya’s artificially calibrated hiccups and a tune that is a distant echo of Ilayaraja’s similar retro efforts, Aanazhagu feels merely derivative. Aey vayaadi and Nenje nenje’s uninspiring tunes don’t...
Continue reading...Maan Karate (Music review), Tamil – Anirudh
Maanja is a funky mix of that trumpet-thavil combo, Anirudh’s nonchalant singing and Karky’s very-Medraas Tamil. Bhangra-dholak dominates Darling dambakku, a rather perfunctory masala song where Benny and Sunidhi carry...
Continue reading...Vaayai Moodi Pesavum (Music review), Tamil – Sean Roldan
Shut up! Vaaya moodu! Pesadhe is a thoroughly entertaining melange of famously hilarious film dialogs and an equally corny tune to go with it. Navin’s bass dominates Kadhal ara onnu...
