The best songs of this album, are Kanavaa illai kaatraa sung by Srini and Chandiranai thottadhu yaar sung by Hariharan and Sujatha. Srini has just excelled in the first one which sounds similar to Malargalae Malargalae from Love Birds... Seems to me that Rahman has used Saraswathi and Saaranga raagam combination again in this song... Chandiranai thottadhu brings back the melodious Rahman after a long time, in my opinion. Even though the bass level in this song is too high and jarring, Hariharan and Sujatha's singing quality carries the song through... One of the interludes, sounds...... Hmmm... Ahem... similar to Thaazham poovae, Illayaraja's classic from Kai Kodukkum Kai.

The next four songs are typical of A. R. Rahman's music... Thumping bass, drums and catchy rhythms.... Sonya Sonya, Bombay Madras Delhi, Lucky Lucky and Mercury pookkal are all.....   [ More ]
