Adada is pedestrian. Ditto for America endralum – painfully banal, while Kaadhalukku, while being somewhat rhythmic, is again rather mundane. Senthamizh pesum is appallingly silly – in the name of...

Pidichirukku (Tamil – Manu Ramesan)
With sparks of Rahman in Enge nee – harmonious chorus with neat use of guitar in the backgrounds; and shades of Harris Jeyaraj in Kaatrodu solli – the sans-music, male...
Continue reading...Nepaali (Tamil – Srikanth Deva)
With seductive dialogs and a slow, alluring tune, Anaikkindra thaagam works really well, more so due to Bombay Jayashree’s fab vocals. Suthudhey too has a very neat retro sound, but...
Continue reading...Singakkutti (Tamil – Prasanna Shekhar)
Machi suthungada defies Prasanna’s Hindi compositions and is more in the Harris Jeyaraj mode, but with enough rhythm and tune variations to keep us hooked throughout the enjoyable number. Janaki...
Continue reading...Thozha (Tamil – Prem Gi. Amaran)
Adiye en annakkili impresses with its minimalist sound and a simple folk’ish tune while the decidedly more Yuvan-styled Kaadhal Devadhai has a groovy, catchy appeal to it – Haricharan being...
Continue reading...Yaaradi nee mohini (Tamil – Yuvan Shankar Raja)
Yaaradi nee mohini faithfully reuses Aadavari matalaku ardhale verule’s soundtrack with the punchy, techno’ish Manasa mannichamma conspicuously missing. Venmegam is as classy as its original with Hariharan in place of...
Continue reading...Kangalum Kavi Paaduthey (Tamil – Ilayaraja)
Hey mamu is plain dated, right from the vocalizing, orchestration and that cobweb ridden tune. Maalai nila and Sollumvarai kaadhal, however are Raja’s return to his, melodic roots – despite...
Continue reading...Saadhu Mirandaa (Tamil – Deepak Dev)
Needhaana needhaana is a pleasant and enjoyable hip-hop mix but Raamanaa porandhaalum, while using a hip-hop template again, is pedestrian. Jyothsana and Srinivas’ impressive vocals work well in the slow...
Continue reading...Vaazhthugal (Tamil – Yuvan Shankar Raja)
Beyond the facade of neat backgrounds, the ‘kudumba-paattu’ Chinna chinna is utterly clichéd. Endhan vaanamum and Unmela aasapattu are significantly better – typical Yuvan-styled, rhythmic and reminiscent of the composer’s...
Continue reading...Kaalai (Tamil – G.V.Prakashkumar)
Madhusri’s Tamil mauling notwithstanding, the lilting tune and backgrounds make Eppo nee thoroughly enjoyable. Lucky Ali sings Gutkha lakkadi, a track usually marked for Jassi Gift – completely mindless but...
