Arul Dev’s music in Sagagopan Ramesh starrer Tamil film, Patta Patti 50 50 (!!) is bad. NW1W. The Kangal irandaal inspired Idhuvarai is the sole saving grace. Keywords: Sadagopan Ramesh

Ivar (Tamil) has a coarse, amateurish feel and only 2 songs stand out of the NW1W mess – Tippu’s Malliga malliga (great vocals, breezy tune) and the drunk revelry celebration...

Manisharma’s new soundtrack in Telugu, Kothimuka, is yet another NW1W material. The remix of the evergreen NT Rama rao song, Oohala gudsa gusa lade is pretty sad, and uses the...
