Trademark Karthikraja rhythms galore in Kattabomman and Arai adi thoorathil. While the former is predictable, Arai adi is extremely interesting for its varying tempo, interludes and pattern. Nalaai indha kaalam...

Joshua emulates Harris in Kan simittum, with excellent results. His distinct touch is evident in the pallavi/ anupallavi! Its Rahman’s turn in Kanne kaadhal, which is catchy enough to sustain...
