Dishyum didhyum is annoyingly silly at many levels – lyrics, tune and some made-up attitude. Nagulan, the film’s hero surprises with his fantastic rendition of a Bharadwaj-styled melody in Eppadi...

Music review: Kanagavel Kakka (Tamil – Vijay Antony)
Tring tring is a stale carry-over from Vijay Antony’s earlier body of work – cringe-worthy and nursery rhyme like! Indha kaadhal has a fairly likeable melody, wrapped in ambient orchestration...
Continue reading...Music review: Naanayam (Tamil – James Vasanthan)
Aasa aasa’s unconventional use of Kannan’s vocals is pretty cool, as is the format-breaking tune. With a Celtic touch, the Simbu-Devi Sri Prasad sung duet is a jolly good listen,...

Appan policeda is banal, while Uyirodu uyiril is pleasant enough, but is something Vidyasagar would’ve composed 10 years ago. Belly Raj and Padmanabhan gel amazingly well with the chorus, in...

Vaalu paiyane is something Imman churns out in his sleep and puts us into sleep, while Poochandi’s Junkyard version with the title phrase sounds considerably better. With its subtle Middle...

Nee otha sollu is a rather pedestrian duet despite the forced folk’ish sweetness Vijay adds to it, while the kids’ chorus in Guju guju wears out after the mild interest...

Kadavul paarpadhillai’s Yuvan-like influences do very little to help the song – it’s still rough around the edges, while Mazhaiya nee is an equally amateurish kuthu number. Nee irukkum is...

Beyond the cool and impressive soundscape, Money money is predominantly drab while Bhagyaraj’s own raunchy mess of a song, Naan aalaana thaamara gets a pointlessly bizarre remix. Yuvan’s surprise vocals,...
Continue reading...Music review: Appavi (Tamil – Joshua Sridhar)
Vaada vinmele is just the kind of brisk, rabble-rousing intro song any young Tamil hero would want – catchy to the hilt, particularly that ‘Netru enbadhoru’ phrase. The composer promptly...
