A pleasant surprise for me-Harris hater(I meant "post-Ullam Ketkume").. VA is a diverse & interesting soundtrack though the beats used are mundane. "Adiye Kolluthe" starts with a seemingly-jarring high-metal but very decently carved later on...Only thing is Shruthi Hassan didn't impress me much. "Nenjukkul Peidhidum" flows pleasantly..wah..thats Hariharan!! Sudha Raghunathan's rendition in "Anal Mele" is good but again the singer is under-utilized compared to her carnatic prowess..The track also has an uncanny similarity to Harris' earlier songs & sometimes the burgeoning tune makes us uncomfortable.. "Yethi Yethi" is a fast number and is good.. But the album's best soundtracks are "Mundhinam Paarthene Paarthadhum thotterene" (wow..excellent lyrics!!) and "Ava enna"..The former has Naresh Iyer & Prashanthini,pretty well sung..Karthik is just awesome & the background folkish beats just rocks big time... Overall its a one-step forward for Harris!! Keep it up!!
Verdict: Very good
