Nenjikul will probably be the next song every guitarist will dream to play. You can already see a stack of them on youtube. Mun Dhinam and Anal Male seemed like songs that typically KK and Bombay Jayshree would have sung. Not sure why those two are missing in this album. Probably to not give too much of a déjà vu I guess.

Anyway, just like singers are given a break from an album, I hope the Harris-Gautham break is temporary too. Oh...and does Thamarai write only for Gautham's films? She should be writing a lot more of those refreshing, delightful and wonderful lyrics...

With all due respect for Gauthm's dad and their relationship, I just felt that the father-son relationship shown was not significant enough for an average viewer like me to feel as great or be wowed at. Even though Surya keeps repeating that the dad was inspirational at every stage, it really seemed ordinary. If the dad told Surya to help the family first and then go in search of love, that is inspirational. To tell him to go with all that debt and no job seemed irresponsible. Thankfully the son was sensible. The scene where the dad tells the son to convert sorrow into positive energy seemed very generic and not specific. But anyway, just for the magical first half, this is one heck of a movie.

P.S. Being a mechanical engineer, I thoroughly enjoyed Gautham's rocking references to mechanical engineering. SPB Charan is awesome in the Om Shanthi song particularly when he sings 'yenai vandhu urasum kaatrae" Now that’s a son truly inspired by his legendary dad!
