NW1W! (I figured that people may be expecting a review if I mention the deadly 4 alphabets – NW1W, denoting Not Worth 100 Word – only in my tweets…considering not...

Music review: Agam Puram (Tamil – Sundar C. Babu)
Ore oru ooru has the typical pseudo folk sound that has now become extraordinarily tired, while P P Venkat’s frenzied Oru mani rendu mani is high on its manic rhythms...
Continue reading...Music review: Aadhavan (Tamil – Harris Jayaraj)
Hasili fisiliye is typical Harris fare – gibberish opening and a simple, rhythmic pattern; does get addictive after the initial annoyance. Yeno yeno has plain horrendous Tamil pronunciation by Shail...

Bubble gum is interesting for its completely abstract tune that changes pitch every few seconds – doesn’t stick, but. Jillendru oru kalavaram uses a standard pop melody and with its...

Naan mozhi arindhen tops the bad-singer-choice list, with Suresh Wadkar irritatingly laboring in Tamil, spoiling a respectable tune. Udit is next, massacring Venpanju – another tune that could have been...

Suvai karumbe atrociously apes Harris Jayaraj, in vain, but the melancholic tune in Adhu oru adaimazhai kaalam works quite well. Haricharan’s Mazhaye mazhaye too is Harris’ sound to the core,...

The musical highlight of the thoroughly enjoyable Malayalam original of this film, Classmates, was Vineet Srinivasan’s rendition of Alex Paul’s tune in Ende khalbile. While this soundtrack does not offer...
