Despite those juvenile lyrics, there’s something strangely catchy about Dingi dingi that you start humming it, right after it ends! Ilayaraja A R Rahman, is a gimmick lyrics-wise, but falls...

Its the same story with Amar Mohile, who composes the only annoying, fresh track (confusing huh? Its fresh as in ‘an original track’ and its annoying!) Take lite, which, even...

Mayanginen’s 2007 version, Pratidinam, Kajuraho kanavilor redux Kuyilalo and that impeccable Hamsanandhi (raagam) in Mallelo (smacks of Raathiriyil Poothirukkum) are what a jaded Raja fan longs for. Ninnu vethiki and...

Utterly pointless and dud of a soundtrack. Did this really deserve so many posters across Chennai city and leading Tamil publications? Bah!

Tamil selvi has a predictably pleasant tune while Yakka nillukka, with its routine rhythm and tune is plain boring. Even Yaaradhu and Aayiram thalaiyapaathu suffer from an acute sense of...

While Himesh triumphs in the slow, rhythmic & very catchy Chakna, he is thoroughly annoying in Viraaniya. The composer tries ghazal-like sounds in Main jahaan and Yahi hota pyaar, but...
