You really warm up to this number after listening to it; never mind the fact it recalls the popular number ‘senthamizh thaen mozhiyaal’ rather vaguely. The scale seems to be Sankarabaranam and Rahul’s rendition in a rather low pitch deserves a big smile. Could tickle our ears.

Lyrics: Vaali

Another crisp number with a distinct ‘telugu’ flavour. Distasteful lyrics! (Whither ‘Kaviya Kalaignar’?) Spirited singing from both and some funky instrumental bits add some colour.

Vocals: Ranjith, Saindavi.
Lyrics: Vaali

A song with a ‘disco’ touch to it. Meant to make you shake a leg. Neatly executed. Talks of the ‘here and now’ idea of enjoyment.

Oorilulla...
Vocals: Karthik.
Lyrics: Vaali

This song speaks of the value of amicable co-existence. Pleasant lyrics set to easy folksy rhythms. The keyboard notes that go’pa pa pa dha pa pa ma ma; ma ma pa ma pa ma ga ri; ga ga ri---‘ in the Kiravani scale add a nice lilt to this song rendered well by Karthik. Haven’t we heard something like this in ‘Abiyum Naanum’?

Vocals: Mukesh, Priya Subramanian( Retro Mix)

Makes you recall ‘Vaarai Nee Vaarai’ vaguely, being based on the same raga. Mukesh rocks and so does Priya Subramanian (television viewers must be familiar with her singing of old Tamil songs). A very impish number which could hit the charts.

Verdict:

The same crispness we saw in the album ‘Thiru Thiru Thuru Thuru’ continues here too. But there is nothing in the album that will make it stand up for itself.
