Retta Vaalu (Music review), Tamil – Selvaganesh
Carrying a decade-old Rahman sound doesn’t seem to impact Kulu kulunguthu much! Chinmayi carries this dulcet melody where Selva underplays the orchestration to let the tune come out beautifully. Vairamuthu’s...

En lifein angel is like the heavily synthesized melodies that Dharan creates for Simbu – fun while it lasts. Meeta paanu is corny and heady kuthu number re-imagined from the...

Kallaale senju vacha evokes pleasant memories of Yejaman’s Oru naalum, but that could be because of the Sindhu Bhairavi base. The song is incredibly tuneful, with Hari Charan doing a...

Aruvaakkaaraa is enchanting! Padmalatha rules over the mesmerizing melody, ably supported by Kaushiki Chakrabarty, Vairamuthu’s charming lyrics and Bonnie Chakraborty’s sudden Bengali infusion! Gold Devaraj and Samar Kalaikkuzhu are in...
