Vaanga makka serves as a spirited introduction to the film’s theater troupe backdrop and is fabulously sung by Haricharan and Dr.Narayanan. Aye Mr.Minor‘s retro orchestration is as significant as its...

The title song is heavily digitized that literally masks Manasi and Monissha’s voices – the tune too is functional at best, despite the pulsating orchestration. The whole thing repeats itself...
