Laddu laddu makes up for the middling tune with its hyper-enthusiastic, raw percussion and orchestration that goes straight back to Ilayaraja’s heydays! The same applies to Podi paiyyan where Yuvan...

Kamban Kazhagam (Music review), Tamil – Shyam, Prasan, Praveen
The serene Un kangal rides exclusively on Karthik’s fabulous vocals, but the composers play their part smartly too with a catchy hook and memorable interludes. Gada gada and Podu sakka...

Aambalaikkum pombalaikkum is as blasé as any faux folks song can get; uninteresting and predictable from every angle. Pushpavanam Kupusamy tries his best to infuse life into the racy Vaadi...

Pudhu punal has an immediately accessible catchy rhythm overlaid on a haunting tune sung fabulously by Ranjith, Rahul Nambiar, Sam and MLR Karthikeyan; leaves a strong impact! Yennayidhu‘s tune too...

Yaar ivan, partly because of Shankar Mahadevan’s high-pitched vocals, is strongly reminiscent of Nadodigal’s anthemic Sambo siva sambo, but without that impact; the other version by Chinmayi is even more...

Nila nila poguthae is predictably dulcet and is a pleasant listen as well, thanks to lovely singing by Vijay Prakash and Harini. Na.Muthukumar shines with his verses in Unna kolla...

Mun andhi‘s sedate, romantic melody seems perfunctory with usual Harris bells and whistles, while Innum enna thozha is a mighty impactful motivational track with excellent vocals. The much-hyped Chinese song,...

Naresh Iyer’s vocals make an impact as much as Selva’s conversationally coarse lyrics and that oddly accentuated backgrounds, in Naan sonnadhum. Kaadhal yen kaadhal and Voda voda up the ante...
