A simple mediocre album with repetitive simple templates from Harris jayaraj that lacks creativeness

The album starts with an intro track Oh Ringa Ringa reminds us of AR Rahmans TAXI TAXI . Harris Jayaraj comes out clean by lifting(sorry stealing) the tune and adding his own touches to it. It is his way of saying “YOU WILL TAKE WHAT WE WILL GIVE YOU AND YOU HAVE TO LIKE IT”

The second track being Mun Andhi…Simply sedative …and that’s too much to say about it …
Once again showcases the tune lifting abilities of him . The introduction
tune reminds us of  12B and some where down, the tune is lifted from “Thoti Jaya -- UYIRE ENN UYIRE” Brilliance brought out by some Sound engineering works

The third track Yella Lama  Harris churns out a peppy number by combing the templates of his previous tracks in Ghajini (RAHATULLA,X MACHI) . A massive makeover …

Yamma Yamma… Harris has used in SPB vocals for maximum impact , yet an old hated tune that blends in Mun Andhi template in the middle for obvious reasons . Will gain in charts after the movie hits the screens …

Innum Enna Thozha… Trying to create an empowering song by roping in Pa. Vijay lyrics seems to work well for this no…Motivational with old wordses

The Rise Of Damo… (Mandarin). A lilting track with ambient Chinese percussions well fitted

How come other music directors don’t know this trick and can’t come up with chart busters every time…

He can make many more "Aadhavans" and "Kos"& “7am Arivu ”, as long as they get lapped up by masses, who cares? This is another atrocious album but Harris will sweep the awards next year. Congrats!
