Adada Mazhaida – Rahul Nambiar, Saindhavi
Yuvan’s taken the generic folk template here and has tried to stay safe. I felt like I was listening to a less awesome reprise of ‘Dhavani Potta Deepavali’ from Sandai Kozhi . So much so that choosing Rahul Nambiar over Vijay Jesudas might have been for that exact reason.
En Kadhal Solla - Yuvan
While I found the arrangements for this song a little below par(almost amateurish) for Yuvan’s standards, the interludes totally made up for the song. Nothing else noteworthy in this song.
Poongatre Poongarte – Benny Dayal
Benny, has been singing in almost every movie now. But it has been mostly weak songs(relative to the other songs in the movie), the trend continues here. Everything in this song is plain. Even Yuvan’s generally strong interludes seems to gave gone for a nap in this song. A ‘single listen’ song.
Suthudhe Suthudhe - Karthik, Sunitha Sarathy
I am not sure if Karthik gets the cream of the soundtracks he sings by default or he makes it so by his singing. I am totally biased to his voice. The ‘ra-ra-ra-radhe’ bit is awesome. The pick of the soundtrack.
Thuli Thuli – Haricharan, Tanvi
The music in the beginning and the ‘sel-sel’ reminds of me some catchy earlier song(see waveform below). I am not sure if its an old english or a regional song. Otherwise its a wonderful track with excellent vocals from Haricharan. I am not even sure why Tanvi is credited here with some very very light background vocals.
An average soundtrack from Yuvan, with only Suthudhe and Thulli standing out. I wish Yuvan would experiment more, it seems he is playing safe, staying in his groove. Yuvan’s got more potential, but this soundtrack is not exploring that.

I dont know the meaning of the title…but i know one thing that if in the year-end count down if a song from this movie does not come first…the song that eventually comes first must be one helluva song…(read Sivaji..)….
1.)Unn Siripinil – Soumya Rao
The song starts with the tune which is being played in the trailor….the humming is sure to be the next ring tone for the season…Soumya rao…donno who she is but sure has got a soft mellifluous voice….esp the part when she goes oru murai ella….is really nostalgic…Nice feel good song….
percentile rating – 70%
2.)Kadhal Konjam – Naresh Iyer
Accordin to me the weakest track in the album…Naresh Iyer rendition being a lil different…good to know he is getting offers other than from Arr camp……it feels like Hariharan was suppsoed to sing this song…anyway not my favourite song…
percentile rating – 30%
3.)Karu Karu – Karthik,Chris ,Naresh Iyer…
The song starts with a cliched beat….never giving u an idea that its going to be rock song….
…another apprehension i have is that i donno how Mr Sarath Kumar is going to lip-sync these songs…i am sure its going to come in the background..it would be disastrous to see him do that ..Song is good…but still waiting
percentile rating – 50%
4.)Unnakkul Naan – Bombay Jayshree & Madhusree…
Song of the year…might be early…but the song is really really awesome….i am actually short of superlatives to describe the song….expect another partha mudhal (this song is better than suttum vizhi accordin to me….)reaction from this song from the audience …i dont whose lucky mascot is who…. Harris or Bombay Jayshree….
look out for…the violin interlude….the hola re chorus in the second stanza(i luuuvvvvv subtleities(no idea of the spelling!!!)!!!!!!!)….and btw the madhusree version sounded better to me…
percentile rating – highest
p.s – forgive the gramatical errors…
