Belated Diwali-release-movie songs review!!!!!

After a small Hiatus!!!...Welcome back friends....

Let me start-off with a praise for Yuvan...because he will get a nice dose of critic later!!!!...

Katradhu Tamizh (Tamizh MA)
*********************************
... Yuvan's good streak continues...but some songs have shades of many songs...I think it is better to call them to be 'inspired'... Ilayaraja's rendition in "Paravayin koottil" is the pick of the lot..the song is definitely inspired from "Vidai kodu yengal naade"(Kannathil Muthamittal) .Rahul's "Para Para Pattampoochi" is the next best..again inspired from "Ninaivillai endrale" (an awesome melody in Dum Dum Dum) .Its high time for Yuvan to stop his rendition..it is intolerable

Verdict:- ***1/2
Hats-off to Yuvan for "Paravaigal"!!!

Yuvan's Diwali- a damp squib??
**********************************
Yuvan.S.Raja has 3 big releases this time...Priya's Kannamoochi Yenada,Hari's Vel & Machakaran. The much expected musical-feast has fallen down very badly without passing any musters.
The only surving song is "Kannamoochi Attam Aaditta". Though not a completely original tune, Yuvan has come out with good percussions & rap bits.."Megam" & "Sanjaram" from the same album are mediocre melodies.
Nothing can be reviewed about the other two movies..."Aayiram Jannal Veedu" is surprisingly an average melody in otherwise worst album "Vel". "Machakaran" has to its credit much of the rehash of older tunes of Yuvan himself!!!



Verdict:-
Kannamoochi Yenada:Worthy to listen in FM radios & TV channels - **1/2
Vel:A solo passable number doesn't save this album- *1/2
Machakaran: **

Mediocre Rahman....What happened to "Isaipuyal"??
********************************************************
There had been a 'peak' hype about Vijay-starrer,ARR musical-ATM...But both has faltered badly this time...Remember... the composer's last outing (Sillunnu oru kadhal-SOK ) was not at his best...Here(Valayapatti thavile) Rahman has blatantly used the same folk tune as in SOK..."Ponmagal Vandhal" is a bad remix..not a 'Rahman'ish one...I rather expected a fresh new tune..."Maduraikku Pogathadee" is a mix of couple of old songs..."Kelamal Kayile" is a pure lift of many old songs...Other songs??Nothing to mention...



Verdict:- ***
Where are u Rahman??

Rahman OK...what about his nephew this time?
*************************************************
Polladhavan songs are above average & the best in the Diwali releases.G.V has tried out some soothing melodies, an attempt bold enough at this age."Minnalgal Koothadum" is the pick of the lot.To be frank I had a bad opinion in that it had Bombay Jaishree.I like her voice but felt sad when she was given the same genre of songs (by none other than Harris Jayaraj!!).
Remember Dhina made best use of her in "Uppu Kallu.." and now G.V. The remix is an average number.All other songs are worthy indeed.

Verdict:- ***
A good attempt -
