Kanna-Ranjith Barot's next album this year

Wow!!..."Ragasiya Kanna" is an awe-inspiring number with mellifluous BG score"Kuyil Paadum" seems to be a lift-up of "Sha la la"(Gilli) but the track latergoes on in an un-usual way..."Sembaruthi Poovu" is a sure lift-up of "KannuKulla.."(Dhill,Vidyasagar)...But its nice to hear.."Thullum Thullal" has someshades of "Sundari" song(Kannathil Muthamittal)

Rating: **1/2

Kallori-Joshua Sridhar's comeback??

The super-duper hit of Kadhal made us to focus towards the debutant JoshuaSridhar...The following albums got folded up without a trace except the "pooncholai kiliye" from "Aran"...He has come back with the winning combo ofBalaji Shakthivel...Alright,what about the songs?yeah...we can definitely feel his comeback but only in two songs..All others are not note-worthy"June July" is a feel-good song & a nice melody...The same goes with "Unnarugil Varugayil" too...

Rating:8.5/10

Billa

Yuvan is going haywire...Don't let your mind go towards the other aspects ofthe film...Just sit & listen to the Billa songs..are they good?Not at all...Just the sleekness & the overall make over of the film saves the other-wiseaverage songs..."My name is Billa" is another bad remix..."Naan meendum" &"Sei" are the two good numbers...others turn out to be a dampener

Verdict:Compare "Pirivom santhippom" songs with this...You'll feel thedifference!!!!
Rating: **1/2 (For "Sei" & "Naan meendum)

Pirivom Santhippom-DIVINE!!!!

You can't expect more than this..Vidyasagar has come out with amazing & divinemelodies which will stay in our mind forever....The album has 6 songs,all melodies & this can even be called as vidyaji's best album ever..None can forget his previous hit "Mozhi"Yet comparisons are inevitable & many songs are definitely inspired from thelegendry music directors,especially, Ilayaraja..."Kanden Kanden",set in the "Vasantha"raaga, is in similar lines to "MinsaraKanna" from Padayappa....well sung by Karthik & Swetha"Soll..Soll" & its female version "Kandum Kanamal" are the pick of the albumhaving brilliantly sung by Balram & Sadhana Sargam respectively"Nenjathiley.." is the next best, inspired from the much recent "Cheeni Kum"of legendry Ilayaraja..."Iru vizhiyo" has a fresh tune & fresh singers coming into limelight"Medhuva Medhuva" has a divine voice of Harini & Jeyaram(I don't know who isthis guy!!Nice voice...Actor Jeyaram??..He plays a cameo-role in this movie)

On the whole: Eternal!!!!!
Rating: *****

Left-out reviews of 2007

1)Ammuvaghiya Naan
I didn't get a chance to write a review for this because of the infamous pre-release reports..But it was a pleasant surprise to hear the compositions of Sabesh Murali...Sabesh Murali???!!Yeah..Definitely...I too had a hesitation in the beginning...but the interludes in the "Kadale Kadale" captivated my mind..."Unnai Charanadainden" is yet another soothing melody...

Rating:****1/2

2)Urchagam-Ranjith Barot's comeback after a decade-long hiatus!!!
Do u remember Ranjith Barot??Do you remember the movie V.I.P??arey yaar... "Minnal oru kodi yenthan uyir thedi vandhadey..."(Simran-PrabhuDeva duet) He has come back with "Urchagam"..."Kangal" is the BEST in the album & also "Naram Pookkal"...Its a great comeback...

Rating:****
3)Some B-grade movie called "Mudhal Kanave", music by "Srikanth Deva"!!!! had a "surprise" pleasant melody "Mudhal mudhal Paarthen"
