The title track has Madhan Karky playing Tamil teacher yet again, teaching us new words, even as Imman, for the catchy song, trolls Tamil Nadu by getting Yuvan—who mispronounces Tamil...

Thaana Serndha Koottam (Music review), Tamil – Anirudh
Between the energetic tabla and iktara-like strains, Anirudh handles Naana thaana‘s likeable tune in his inimitable style. The title song‘s gangsta-style music is engaging, while the anthemic Engae endru povathu‘s...
Continue reading...Gulaebaghavali (Music review), Tamil – Vivek-Mervin
Guleba makes up for the generic Latino carnival tune by being super enthusiastic about it, and this includes Anirudh’s ebullient singing and Maxwell’s splendid brass section. Seramal ponal‘s melody is...

After a grand, clunky intro, Kalakku machan launches into a Bhagyaraj-style insipid composition. Siru siru has an interesting germ of a semi-classical tune, but Simbu messes it up royally with...

Hero hero is an energetic prop for the now-called Nakkhul’s dancing skills, complete with a kuthu interlude led by Chinnaponnu. Atif Ali’s terrible Tamil stands out awkwardly amidst the generic...
Continue reading...Semma Botha Aagathey (Music review), Tamil – Yuvan Shankar Raja
The title song is effortless Yuvan at his best – addictively cool EDM mix! Itemkaaran is no different, with its insanely catchy hook and a steadily raucous kuthu rhythm, delivered...
Continue reading...Kathiruppor Pattiyal (Music review), Tamil – Sean Roldan
Kaathirukkum koottathukku is so typically Sean; a whiff of Celtic, fantastic guitar and a lively tune rendered enthusiastically by Hariharasudhan. Azhagile enai has Pradeep’s vocals, enough said! The beautiful melody...
