Alibaba thangam’s only highlight is Susidra’s nonchalant vocals while the sedentary hiphop track, Minnalgal koothaadum works quite well since the vocals (Karthik and Bombay Jayashree) and orchestration compliment each other...
Continue reading...Om shanti Om (Hindi – Vishal Shekhar)
Ajab si is a Pritam’ish melody – eminently tuneful with a lovely orchestration to match. Dard-e-disco is bouncy and rocking – albeit with cringe-worthy lyrics while Deewangi is plain assembly-line...

Allah hafiz and Sajda have standard Pritam-styled facets which have recently started to tire us, while Lets rock soniye is good fun and that Irish interludes played in Indian folk-style...
