Hey rama rama has Vijay talking political propaganda – in an inane, stale package. Baba Sehgal’s Jalsa and Mamta Mohandas’ Daddy mummy retain their hyper-addictive Telugu original’s (Jalsa and Shankardada...

Music review: TN 07 AL 4777 (Tamil – Vijay Antony)
The self-professed new age Aathichudi is nothing but an annoying, kuthu’fied version of something existentially profound – a blasphemous attempt, in the name of reaching newer audiences. iPhonin screena nee...
Continue reading...Music review: Dindukkal Sarathy (Tamil – Dhina)
Ammadi aathaadi makes the monumental blunder of getting Kailash Kher to sing in Tamil, yet again. Even the tune is brain dead. Dindukallu seems to have been crafted laboriously, to...
Continue reading...Music review: Pattaalam (Tamil – Jassie Gift)
One-film wonder, composer Jassie Gift has a set of atrocious tunes in Pattaalam. Disayettum is an rash leftover from his sad Malayalam repertoire while Enge pirandhom is just juvenile. The...
Continue reading...Music review: Aintham Padai (Tamil – D. Imaan)
Anitha’s bawdy Shoku Sunthar is catchy in a very weird way – it is packaged very effectively with an addictive chorus. But Imaan rips off Euphoria’s very popular Meri gully...

Nee illamal starts off reasonably well, although in predictable Srikanth Deva mode, but the composer gets his senses back and opens the assault with his trademark Dingi daangu pretty soon!...
Continue reading...Music review: Thenavattu (Tamil – Srikanth Deva)
Onnu rendu’s blaringly loud backgrounds and the obvious reference to the much-abused transgender is plain jarring. Srikanth Deva seems to have deconstructed a Jeyaraj number like an expert Chinese manufacturing...
Continue reading...Music review: Mahesh, Saranya Matrum Palar (Tamil – Vidyasagar)
Saindhavi sounds great in the otherwise weirdly paced and rhythmed En paadal while SPB tries to hold the dated melodies in Thanthathil seitha and Vaikarai paniye – the latter is...
Continue reading...Music review: Thiruvannamalai (Tamil – Srikanth Deva)
Besides the usual torture Srikanth Deva unleashes upon hapless listeners in Tamil Nadu, just one mandatory listen to Udit Narayan in Adiye is enough…this is THE worst soundtrack of 2008,...
