Malaya porattala is a disjoint, occasionally absorbing hero introduction. Enna marandhaen goes through the motion in a pleasant, but familiar template common to such melodies. Ranga ranga is where Sathya...

Endrendrum Punnagai (Music review), Tamil – Harris Jayaraj
Yealae yealae is barely functional, with a droning sound and a pedestrian tune, and an accordion piece that saves it mildly. Ennai saaithaalae is no better – utterly templatized Harris...

Koodamela koodavechi is a gorgeous tune adorned with cello and Chennai Strings orchestra, to great effect; wonderful vocals by Prasanna and Vandana! Oru nodi too is a simple, lilting tune,...

Kathirundhai anbe, with its honey-coated tune is a clear winner. Chinmayi, Nivas and Abhay Jodhpurkar are pitch-perfect in their vocals. Nenjankuzhi – both versions – sound perfunctory; Karthik and Pooja...

Teddy bear‘s arcade games sound, with that mind-bogglingly curious tune that eventually goes zany, mixing kuthu and more 8-bit sounds, is a brave experiment! Ae le le, barring Leon D’Souza’s...

Adadada arrambame is loaded with festive exuberance and uses alternating percussions to good effect. En fuse pochu sounds like something Yuvan usually reserves for Simbu, right up to the corny...
