Dandanakka is a raucous and riotous ode to T.Rajendar, something that only social media has been indulging in under a satirical garb, but with this song going mainstream! Anirudh leads...

Kambikara vetti traverses through two distinct tunes and rhythms and both are engaging, thanks to earthy vocals by VM Mahalingam and Ananthu, besides Thanikkodi’s absorbing folksy lyrics. Appappa is a...
