Shankar Mahadevan’s vocal-chord piercing Esshk esshk kaadhal is a pulsating track indeed, with a mature blend between the Latino-tinge and classical styles. Enthanaalum winnerthaan is sadly merely guitar-overdose, with a...
Continue reading...Music review: Tamizh Padam (Tamil – Kannan)
Pacha manja has scathingly funny lyrics, musically packaged in a manner that would warm the cockles of any wannabe-Tamil superstar. O maha zeeya is constructed beautifully with the gibberish we’re...
Continue reading...Movie review: Avatar (James Cameron)
Very few films are worth complete suspension of disbelief – Avatar surely is one. It is beyond any point to discuss Avatar’s seemingly simplistic storyline or its alleged resemblance to...
Continue reading...Music review: Kutty (Tamil – Devi Sri Prasad)
The problem with Devi Sri Prasad’s music, usually, is that the rhythms are recycled beyond imagination – Lifeey jaali thaan is a great example; staid backgrounds and a childish tune....

Taali is no doubt ambitiously mounted, but it’s still a largely lackluster and standard package, while in Surili akhiyon wale, Rahat sings something that seriously stereotypes him – it is...

Love in C Major has a strong allegiance to Friends’ title song; is still a good, bubbly track. Bade shehar tests the patience with a lot of club’by attitude that...

Dr. Balamuralikrishna’s Theeratha vilayaattu starts off predictably enough, but mid-way it morphs, mind-bendingly, first into Rajasthani folk, with Mukthiyar Ali crooning Nimbuda, then into a bizarre Tamil-Baul jugalbandi, and finally...
