Tamil OST

Is that intermittent singer in Hey yenmama really Karthik? This excuse of a kuthu-track is as irritating and jaded as the really stupid, Yenna vela, uttered by the composer himself....

Vazhvu venduma vaa is arduous in every way – Madhu Balakrishnan’s singing, backgrounds et all. To be fair, Unnai kel does show the sparkle the composer displayed in soundtracks like...
