Jazeeren has an interesting texture – not full-fledged Pritam sound he reserves for the bigger films, but with enough verve, thanks largely to Ranu Mazumder’s vocals. Zarasa halka is something...

Barring the passable melody, Iruvizhi Irandum, by Haricharan, the rest is NW1W.
Continue reading...Music review: Agaradhi (Tamil – Sundar C. Babu)
NW1W! (I figured that people may be expecting a review if I mention the deadly 4 alphabets – NW1W, denoting Not Worth 100 Word – only in my tweets…considering not...

Ore oru ooru has the typical pseudo folk sound that has now become extraordinarily tired, while P P Venkat’s frenzied Oru mani rendu mani is high on its manic rhythms...
