-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The album starts off reasonably well with Madhura Madhura... , although predictable Srikanth Deva Kuthu stuff and his take on Madurai( famous for Malli , meenakashi temple,Tamil and their lifestyle)

Rathiye.. fairly catchy and decent & that is a lot to say…

Enna Thavam...Composer Deva doesn’t strain himself ,seems like the song has been ripped of from an old devotional album.

Jagar Thanda.... completely outdated due to the standard sound, utterly boring

Uthama Putherane... K.J.Jesudas voice is wrapped up in 80’s grieve tune

 Porane.... Suprisingly decent , melody number devoid of gaana element

Aandi Padi... Loud backgrounds’ and hero style lyrics that seems to be worshipping mediocrity

Srikanth Deva is simply a phenomenon no two thoughts about that.. still baffles every one (how he gets so many projects)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chikku Bhukku:  a curious blend of Colonial Cousins Euphoria, predominantly youthful feel, chirpy and very rock’ish .

Oru Nila: A folksy start, progressing gradually with stereotype music .Has an earthy feel
Zara Zara: Leslie’s guitar makes this number a good listen. Typical trademark of colonial cousins

Smile: A Latino-fused Soul-style tune in this soundtrack seems very appealing. Mild instruments in the background give soothing effect …

 Thooral Nindralum: Ghazal soaked lyrics blended well with Hindustani musical instruments with HARIHARN’S vocals add ethnic feel. Mildly tweaked sound

Vizhi Oru Paadhi: A mildly mocking track with sparkling backgrounds.

Adi Saarale: A lilting track, starts blissfully serene and escalates gradually

Colonial Cousins  Chikku Bhukku is emphatically a thumbs up .

Kallori Thayeh...
           Singers : Mickey.J.Meyer
           Lyricis : Vairamuthu
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ammakale: Lyrics brim with feelings of modern day optimistic youth. Groovy, retro style rock instruments work well.

Inbam Ethirilae...An oddball track that seems outdated, cocktail of Indian & western music...

Indihu Inidhu... Is an poor rehash of yesteryear song from Kallori

Vazhkai Oru.... passable melody, with simplistic tune. A pedestrian track .
Ennangal Vaananoki...Kalyani’s voice is pleasant with predictable simple tune in backgrounds is lilting

Kodi Kanam Kannil... Naresh Iyer voice is letdown by escalating music in the background. Repetitive phrases.

Kallori Thayeh... finally Mickey.J.Meyer( the man behind this album) tries to captivate the listeners with end of happy days. Outdated tunes, orchestrated mildly
An average album by Mickey.J.Meyer , mostly relied upon western flavor…
