Semmozhiye ; SPB is in great form .Has an ambient sound all through.  A staid tune from, DHEENA.

Sarakku Readya: Is a strange mishmash. Pedestrian track, that goes beyond nothing. 

Anjile Ondrai ;  brim with spiritual  devotion at opening . Sparking backgrounds, agitated & charged up tune fills up this number . 

Maga dheera(2) : a peppy number, the odd one out with its intolerably outdated tune, but the soundtrack ends well with the simple and rhythmic tune .

Kottudhada Kaasu: Roping in BLAZEE to rap in Tamil doesn’t seem to be working for DHEENA . Rhythms are recycled beyond imagination. Terrible soundtrack!  

Dhinna churns out mediocre album at rocket speed !!

SV06. Theme Of Love...

Thamn’s humming is rooted in THIKI THIKI .The composer vivifies yuvan’s THULI THULI(Paiyaa).  Impeccably arranged, functional music… 

‘Yen peru krishnaveni..’ looks similar to ‘En Peru Meenakumar’i from Kandasamy lyrically  . Tune wise it lacks that punchy hook, instead Thaman offers gorgeous semi Hindustani platform and adds charming layers that builds up gradually on and off..

Thaman beefs up with his arsenal in KUTHUDU. Naveen(vocalist) expands all through while Thaman gradually picks up the orchestration, holding back the tune.

Orchestration& tune wise Puducha looks similar to ‘Oh Baby nee devamirdam’ from MALAIKOTTAI by Manisharma. The most striking aspect of the soundtrack is the lack of conventional tune structures- unconventional bits hitting off & on immediately!

An agitated, charged up tune fills up ERAIVAA…a pulsating, non-stop beat; that traverses in many interesting ways, supported ably by the 3 singers.

Theme of love…  a lovely  melody with marvelous arrangements. Vocalist evoke that oomph..

Thaman undeniably has that potential. Yet vivifies others at many places…

SV05. Pain Of Love...
          Singers : Sriram Parthsarathy & Swetha Mohan
          Lyricis : Viveka

The short and sweet melody Noorandu Vazhga...  is a fair to middling track, lyrics filled with sublime emotions.

Vaa Pulla... lyrically speaks about the transition of mind travelling from a urban Chennai to small town. Folksy tune, rehashing every known element of old tunes.

Unakkanka Uireyvaithen...  is typical Imman’s fabric- stocked rhythm, modal    euphony…

Imman falters in Thambikottai Kanaga....   Kuthu number in this album, uses every known constituent of his previous compositions. (Odi odi vilayadu- Masilamani,  Madurai Jilla macha than di – Thiruvilaiyadal) .

Pain Of Love...Starts slow and later become incongruous / inharmonious at places, fails to generate an impact.
