"Vidyasagar disappoints" to be simple!
Rating: **
8) Poi solla porom, M.G.Sreekumar
Nothing worthy to mention!!
Rating: **
9) Pandhayam, Vijay Anthony(??!!)
Irksome!!
Rating: *1/2
10) Dhanam, Ilayaraja
Fails to impress.. Bhavatharini should be shunned from singing!
But tunes are pretty average...Where is OUR maestro?
Rating: **1/2
11) Satyam, Harris Jeyaraj
Harris is in shortage of tunes!! "Chellame"& "En anbe" are quite passable
Rating: **1/2
12) Kuselan, G.V.Prakash
Nothing worthy!! But "Saaral" may fetch some bucks
Rating: **
13) Subramaniapuram, James Vasanthan
Heavenly- "Kangal irandal"(though a mish-mash of "Sudum nilavu") . The singers deserve a
grand applause. "Kadhal Siluvayil" has Shankar Mahadevan at his recent best!!
Rating: ****
14) Dasavatharam, Himesh Reshammiya
aarghh!!!!!"Mukundha mukundha" is ok
Rating: **
15) Vallamai tharayo, Bharadwaj
Wow!!! Pretty good. Listen to the simple tune of "Ennai thaan". Just grows upon you!
Rating: ***1/2
16) Santhosh Subramaniam, Devi Sriprasad
A simple copy-paste job!! But its pretty average
Rating: **1/2
17) Pidichurukku, Manu Ramesan
One of the under-rated album of the year.
Rating: ***1/2
18) Nepali, Srikanth Deva
naaahhh!!!
Rating: *1/2
19) Yaaradee nee mohini, Yuvan Shankar Raja
A good one but Udit Narayan prevents from rewinding!!
Rating: ***
20) Vellithirai, G.V. Prakash
Excellent soundtracks!! But "kanji paanayil" is a blatant copy of interludes & the main tune
itself!!!
Rating: **** minus 1/2 =***1/2
21) Anjaadhey, Sundar.C.Babu
A must-listen!Diverse soundtrack!!
Rating: ****1/2
