Ammadi aathaadi makes the monumental blunder of getting Kailash Kher to sing in Tamil, yet again. Even the tune is brain dead. Dindukallu seems to have been crafted laboriously, to...

Everything gonna be alright is worn-out, with every predictable filmy hip-hop element thrown in, while the Timberlak’ish Dil mera jumbo manages to grate even more. This is Pritam territory but...
