Dheera gambheera is a sub-standard start to the soundtrack, with its stale grooves, but Naveen and Sujatha’s Krishnaveni gets everything right with its addictive tune. Nachchavey’s gorgeous melody is very...

Let’s go to Mumbai City, with Jermaine Jackson does have a Jackson’ish sound, but is largely disappointing mish-mash of sounds. The title song and Chalo are the best of the...

Chan chanare is embarassingly pedestrian – haven’t we heard these tunes already in the 90s more than adequately? Swalpa soundu too is in similar territory, barring the spunk in the...

Dishyum didhyum is annoyingly silly at many levels – lyrics, tune and some made-up attitude. Nagulan, the film’s hero surprises with his fantastic rendition of a Bharadwaj-styled melody in Eppadi...
Continue reading...Music review: Kanagavel Kakka (Tamil – Vijay Antony)
Tring tring is a stale carry-over from Vijay Antony’s earlier body of work – cringe-worthy and nursery rhyme like! Indha kaadhal has a fairly likeable melody, wrapped in ambient orchestration...

Karthik and Ritisha’s techno-dance track Maja maadoke and Baruve odi odi offer a pretty neat start to the soundtrack – Mano’s arrangements and the catchy tunes are groovy enough to...
