Mazhai pozhiyum is pulsating, catchy and well sung by Aalaap Raju; its hooks are adequately addictive. Raman Mahadevan seems like a wonderful choice to lead Oh Sunanda, a gorgeously foot-tapping...

Mayakkam Enna (Music review), Tamil – G V Prakash Kumar
Naresh Iyer’s vocals make an impact as much as Selva’s conversationally coarse lyrics and that oddly accentuated backgrounds, in Naan sonnadhum. Kaadhal yen kaadhal and Voda voda up the ante...

The Destiny starts laboriously but picks itself up impressively as the jadhis kick in, while the lovely melody in Poovin manam gains from Tippu and Harini’s vocals and specially Na....

Saarpu saarpu ji is lyrically amusing; tune-wise it barely passes muster. The spoofy feel continues in Saudi Basha – middling tune again, marred by a cornucopia of middle-eastern sounds. Andrea’s...

Hosahore is literally racy and settles into a nice groovy rhythm, while Benny Dayal’s Yeyo goes full blast in glitzy orchestration and vocalized effects to support Prabhas’ snazzy dance moves....

Karthik croons assertively and, along with the composer’s fantastic backgrounds and a spellbinding tune, rocks Oh eesa! This is an awe-inspiring, albeit, masala’ish track that is instantly captivating. Indha paadhai’s...

Angaadi Theru opens with the extraordinary-abusive, amusingly-conceived Karungaali naaye! Un perai and Kannil theriyum are instantly likeable – with an enjoyable tunes/ backgrounds combination. GVP’s vocals are wonderful in the...

With a breezy, instantly engaging tune, Kallil aadum is a complete winner – Benny and Shwetha sound awesome. Megam pola’s gloomy outlook is new to Tamil films, but within the...
Continue reading...Music review: Seval (Tamil – GV Prakash Kumar)
Strongly reminiscent of Rahman’s rustic scores, Namma ooru and Thaayaramma are strictly temlplatized, with only the engaging, gossippy lyrics making an impact. Odamarathu mullapola is no better – that stock,...
