Sonu’s vocals rock Saiyyan bina, an eclectic concoction laid over chaste Hindi lyrics, that ends on a scintillating note! Paane chala‘s addictively simple tune gets better as it progresses, though...

Beyond the catchy rhythm of Vaiyambatti lies a lovely tune, with the right amount of punch, and most importantly, Vairamuthu’s absorbing lyrics espousing the blissful living of tribals in the...

The title song has all the necessary coolth, topped by Vishal Dadlani’s funky vocals. Kadhal kan kattudhe sees Anirudh join Shakthishree Gopalan to deliver a very pleasant, but now-predictable, Anirudh’ish...
