With a Middle Eastern tinge, Alai paayudhey pointlessly lays its cards right at the outset – the manic kuthu rhythm that the composer adores. Chellame has Udit eating Tamil for...

Music review: Vaaranam Aayiram (Tamil – Harris Jeyaraj)
Sudha Raghunathan replaces steady favorite, Bombay Jayashree in Anal mele – a soft, heavenly track who’s tune and focused vocals create a fabulously ambient concoction. The mild backgrounds reminiscent of...
Continue reading...Music review: Naan Aval Adhu (Tamil – GV Prakash Kumar, RP Patnaik & Prasanna Shekhar)
Prasanna Shekhar’s Nee dooramaai ponalum echoes some of his Hindi tracks with limited nativity, but with adequate haunt-value, in tune with theme. Of the two GV Prakash composed songs –...
Continue reading...Music review: Poo (Tamil – S.S.Kumaran)
The pleasant folk melody of Dheena and the captivating tune of Choo maari open the soundtrack – the former is innately tuneful while the latter has scintillating backgrounds and excellent...
Continue reading...Music review: Durai (Tamil – D Imaan)
Trust Imaan to come up with utter nonsense – that Raja rajaadhi rajan (Agni Natchathiram) remix is an absolute mess and is completely unwarranted. To attempt a remix of a...

After loyally sticking to Pravin Mani, director Sanjay Ram moves on to Peter John in Poova Thalaya. Maipoosum is a reasonably engaging folk melody but with predictable musical phrases while...

Ammane opens by lifting Diana Haddad’s megahit, Amaneh, but singer Vinitha and the lyricist load the song with extraordinarily vulgar stuff, complete with suggestive moans. Chinna maamiye, sung by Vijay’s...
Continue reading...Music review: Meipporul (Tamil, Rahul, Nanda & Aub Delane)
Aub Delane’s Get away day is non-descript while in Unnai ethirpaarthaen, Kumaran’s poor vocals mar an otherwise interesting tune. Kalyana kaaviyam is reasonably better – simple and frothy melody, delivered...
Continue reading...Music review: Rasikkum Seemaane (Tamil, Vijay Antony)
Priyan sounds flat and completely unimpressive in Kodi kodi minnalgal – even Vijay Antony’s tune, barring the use of bagpipes is terribly dull. Nachulo nachulo (really, I’m not joking!) is...
