Vinmeen vidhayil is enchanting… a delightfully pleasant melody sung beautifully by Abhay Jodhpurkar and Saindhavi; the music is not drastically new, but mighty apt for the tune. Neeyum dhinam sees...

Bramman (Music review), Tamil – Devi Sri Prasad
Vodu vodu, barring Chinnaponnu’s hyper enthusiastic vocals, is stock Devi-style bombastic stuff. But the composer knows what works and how, as is evident in Penne nee illamal, with the right...

Kadha kadha and Bon bon sound like Tamilized Yash Raj Punju songs; the discomfort shows. The Tanglish ballad Honeyae honeyae is no different – uneasy fit; the female version by...

Maelae maelae, barring its Elay keechan’ness, is a pretty good listen, using mandolin, guitars and the clap sound to accentuate Karthik’s fantastic vocals. Anbe anbe too, with Harish Raghavendra and...

Mosale, with its unusual word start spins a superb tapestry of sounds, led by guitar and that tantalizing nadaswaram! Deepak and Pooja deliver this addictive track really well. Neeyenna periya...

Shweta Mohan’s languorous rendition props up the gloomy melody in Penjakka, aided no doubt by very-Rahman like orchestration by Srinivas. Ozhakku nilave‘s highlight is Bibin Tuttu’s vocals, a moody tune...

Aagayam‘s choir-like opening is juxtaposed with a rather disjoint dubstep mix; the result is pretty interesting! Haricharan sounds good in the foot-tapping Orakkanna sachu nee, that possibly and interestingly touches...

Ippadiyum oruthan undu seems massively out of place in the current scheme of things despite how Raja tries – unnecessarily – to prop up the Nila adhu-style tune. Thannanthaniye and...

Imman aims for a Thalapathy-Kaattu Kuyilu style male-leads duet in Paattu onnu and with a pulsating chendai section, and inspiring vocals by SPB and Shankar Mahadevan, almost pulls it off...
