Kaliyugam is another movie with predominantly newcomers at the helm. The music has been provided by 3 different composers and it was released recently by director Rajesh. On to the music review now. 

Yeda Kuda…
Singers: Steve Vets - Malavika Manoj
Lyricist: Mohan Rajan

This number has hip hop touches and an unmistakable western influence. An average number on the whole with a few traces of one of Thaman’s previous numbers (‘ThikkiThiiki’) for the movie ‘Nagaram’. The instrumental bit towards the end lifts the song a notch higher.

Ajala Ujala…
Singer: Viji
Lyricist: Viji

This is a proper ‘sarakku gaana’ number with funny lyrics and foot tapping percussions running all along. Other essential elements of a ‘gaana’ song like the trumpet are also there. Will strike a chord with the youth for the easy charm that it has. Connoisseurs of music might have a different take on this though.

Sirapunji Salaiyilae…
Singer: Haricharan
Lyricist: Thamarai

This one is a gentle romantic number with nice guitar accompaniments. It will ensure a pleasant listening experience. Haricharan delivers as expected and the instrumentals before both the stanzas stand out. The song grows on you and ends up being more than a decent number. The way the guitar matches the verses is another standout element of this song. 

Yeno Yeno…
Singer: Rahul Nambiyar
Lyricist: Manusyaputhran

Another passable song about the pain associated with love. There is a touch of melancholy associated with the instrumentals as well. On the whole, a composition with elaborate instrumentals and heartfelt vocals. 

Vennaiyila...  
Singer: Mukesh
Lyricist: Mohan Rajan

A nice foot tapping number that is light hearted and enjoyable. The song never dips and maintains its level right through. There are a variety of instruments used tastefully and the lyrics talk about the hero’s lady love and how she has totally bowled him over. Might visit the charts.

Verdict: The 3 composers don’t disappoint.
