Madhu is an instantly likeable soundtrack, if it was still 1989. Raja unfortunately sticks to his once-was-good synth style, despite some stirring tunes. This very fact diminishes the appeal of...

Dai namma is an infectious track who’s non-stop rhythm grabs your attention. The brooding Kannai vittu seems to be partly inspired by Kevin Lyttle’s Turn me on (2003) but surprisingly...

Thaiyatha’s Charukesi is tantalizing, though Sadhana seems stressed in the higher pitches. There’s Aqua-sound in Poi sollaporen, coupled with some reasonably interesting lyrics, but the song hardly registers. Thippamma’s middle...
