Varaaru is marginally catchy, which will need significant help from its picturization to impress better. Unnodudhaan is unique since it uses natural sounds with minimal played music, but this experiment...

Jillunu oru kaadhal (Tamil – A R Rahman)
Kummi adi is catchy, with a Malayalee flavor and rhythmic lyrics. Besides the Kannada ‘raja’, Majaa sounds straight out of Hamsalekha’s repertoire. The interludes bear Rahman’s stamp though. Maaricham has...

Aayiram vaanavil has that S A Rajkumar tone but for the interludes that define Karthikraja’s musical prowess. Kangal theduthey with its innovative opening, rhythms and a catchy tune impresses instantly....
