Thaimaasam begins sounding uneasily similar to Thirumalai’s Vaadiyamma, but sounds pretty good, overall. Kailash Kher sings fairly good Tamil in Podhumada saami which seems to be fashioned along Muthu’s Vidukathaya...

Murugadoss has predominantly used the crux of Memento (besides a couple of scenes), while narrating an interesting revenge drama. The film even kills Asin, ala Kakka Kakka and is thus...

The intro, ‘call-to-the-fans’ Vaada vaada and Kodambakkam area make for painful listening. Idhu enna has the forgotten Uma Ramanan and a passable tune. Deivathukke is a rare pathos song in...

London London doesn’t register. Ragubir Yadav’s Ramji ke paas is good fun. The remixes jar, but are funnier. Silly lyrics galore in Do do do, but the strange combination of...

Strong Dhoom hangover in Ishq hai jhootha. Also carries off from where Pritam left, in Chocolate. Ankhiyan na maar is Adesh Shrivastava territory – routine, loud, fast Punju pop. Jal...
