Echoing Thiruvilayaadal Aarambam’s Madura jilla, Manjasela mandakini is catchy time-pass, while Janani and Vijay Yesudas’ Pattucha is dreary and seeped in Manisharma’s Telugu styled structure. Pelican paravaigal is fairly rhythmic...

Music review: Pokkisham (Tamil – Sabesh Murali)
Moondru naal aagume, with its free flowing verse and lovely sax phrases is delightfully rendered by Karthik. Ranjani’s Varum vazhi yengume and Madhu Balakrishnan’s Mozhi illaamale too borrow quite a...
Continue reading...Music review: Gnabagangal (Tamil – James Vick)
Despite the old school tune, the composer lends a nice touch with the dominant violin phrases in SPB’s soulful Gnabagam illayo, while an exotic mélange of a prelude leads to...
Continue reading...Music review: Vaamanan (Tamil – Yuvan Shankar Raja)
The composer ropes in Roopkumar Rathod for the almost ghazal-like Oru devadhai, that, barring a single, repetitive and annoyingly tinny rhythm, is exquisite. Aedho seigiraai is a fairly appealing, but...

Veteran noise-maker Deva stages a comeback with Suriyan Satta Kalloori and strangely sounds exactly like his son, Srikanth Deva, in the fairly catchy Kalaai kaalai, though Udit Narayan seems bent...
Continue reading...Music review: Pasanga (Tamil – James Vasanthan)
Anbaale azhagaadum’s tune is straight out of MS Viswanathan’s repertoire and roping veteran Dr Balamuralikrishna to croon this seems pointless – the violin interludes do showcase the composer’s creativity though!...
Continue reading...Music review: Sarvvam (Tamil – Yuvan Shankar Raja)
Ilayaraja pitches in with cool vocals in the hep Adada vaa, the highlight of which is that persistent flute piece! Sutta suriyana carries Yuvan’s Pattiyal sound, but is punchy enough....
Continue reading...Music review: Karthik Anitha (Tamil – Jack Anand)
Jack Anand commits the deadly debutant sin by lifting Bond’s Victory in the interlude of Pada pada, Thada thada (thanks: Sanjay Ramaswamy’s comment) a Harris Jeyaraj-styled racy track. Megamai’s mild...
