Naan nadanthal works only because of its appealing, stylish rhythms even though the lyrics are beyond mundane. Siragadikkum nilavu is archaic Manisharma material, with rudimentary catchiness, while Thamizhan veera thamizhan...

Music review: Rettaisuzhi (Tamil – Karthik Raja)
Pattaalam paaruda is generally enthusiastic, but barring the interesting interludes, the tune is just basic, while Ada bum bum is Karthikraja’s leftover from Grahan days – unfortunately outdated. Poochandi kannazhagi...
Continue reading...Music review: Maanja Velu (Tamil – Manisharma)
Both the versions of the title song are surprisingly good – the chirpy retro version in particular has the right dose of spoofy fun and is sung delightfully by Mukesh...
Continue reading...Music review: Maathiyosi (Tamil – Gurukalyan)
NW1W. Methuvai methuvai is the only track that deserves a passing listen – the rest has forgettable tunes and even worse choice of singers. Keywords: Maathiyosi, Gurukalyan, Nanda Periyasami

Javed Ali spoils the otherwise lovely Mudhal pen neeye, with his horrendous pronunciation – but, thankfully, Dharan’s tune is fresh and catchy. The title song is conventional and atrocious, while...

Indre indre has an old-worldly charm to it – Ranjith gets a cracker of a melody that allows him to vary his range, even as Thaman adds charming layers to...

Benny Dayal’s vocal contortions reach a Whitney Houston’ish level in Omana penne, a lyrically-challenged, plain-by-Rahman-standards tune. Chinmayi and Devan’s vocal interplay works beautifully in Anbil avan, while Vinnaithaandi varuvaayaa seems...

Aasa machaane sounds regurgitated, but its remix is a different story altogether!! Ada engengum aasai has naturally pleasant and likeable tune and Selvaganesh’s imagination runs riot beautifully in the orchestration!...
Continue reading...Music review: Goa (Tamil – Yuvan Shankar Raja)
Goa’s soundtrack is interestingly split into two dramatically different parts. The native folk flavour is heady in 3 tracks – the unbelievably-Raja’ish and hyper-catchy Yezhezhu thalamuraikkum; the mid-80s pathos track...
Continue reading...Music review: Kacheri Aarambam (Tamil – D.Imman)
Azhagu azhagu is short and sweet; Bela Shende sounds great but the lyrics seem forced. Kacheri kacheri is typical Imman material – stock rhythm, albeit catchy, and a tune that...
