Meendum pallikku is a lyrics-driven track like Gnabagam varudhey, but the excessive nostalgia is getting tiresome. Is that charukesi I hear in Indha nimidam? Lovely stuff! Ramji’s isai mazhalai uses...

Aap kaa surroor is a case of Himesh-overdose. The tunes are bad – with the exception of Tera mera milna and perhaps, Assalam Vaalekum. The singing is exasperating. The number...
