Hai rama has Sukhwinder and Neha Kakkad going through the drill – the latter doing a neat sister-Sonu impersonation! The song’s catchy, but predictable. The title song is built like...

Odi bandenu harks back to Mungaru Male’s formula and is merely soporific, while Naanenu nambodilla is straight out of a 80s Hindi film – terribly outdated. Sonu’s title song works...

Nee illamal starts off reasonably well, although in predictable Srikanth Deva mode, but the composer gets his senses back and opens the assault with his trademark Dingi daangu pretty soon!...

Onnu rendu’s blaringly loud backgrounds and the obvious reference to the much-abused transgender is plain jarring. Srikanth Deva seems to have deconstructed a Jeyaraj number like an expert Chinese manufacturing...

Saindhavi sounds great in the otherwise weirdly paced and rhythmed En paadal while SPB tries to hold the dated melodies in Thanthathil seitha and Vaikarai paniye – the latter is...

Besides the usual torture Srikanth Deva unleashes upon hapless listeners in Tamil Nadu, just one mandatory listen to Udit Narayan in Adiye is enough…this is THE worst soundtrack of 2008,...

The title song is completely overloaded with zany sounds and excessive vocalizing effects that it becomes hard to even follow the flow, while Naveen Madhav’s Ellamey is a fairly decent...

There’s so much energy and life in Delhi – The Underground, that it may sound unfair to criticize a few and praise others. But, Kapil Srivastava’s incredible guitar in The...

It could be Tony K’s tunes or it may be the genes. Neha sounds like her sister Sonu Kakkar, but in a terribly foul mood. There’s so much forced attitude...
