Vizhigalile is pitch-perfect; delightful tune, beautifully orchestrated and super vocals by Karthik and Chinmayi – delectable! If that was good, then Hariharan’s solo, Kadhal enbadhai, gets even better! On the...

Azhagarsaamiyin Kudhirai (Music review), Tamil – Ilayaraja
Poovakkelu sees Raja importing his usually brilliant streak in Malayalam, into Tamil, and this works very well. We get a superbly Raja’esque melody even though that annoying synth makes a...
