Taken together, it looks like Devi Sri Prasad has decided to bow down to the pressures of a commercial entertainer, and come up with an album that's a lot of sound, fury and (borrowed) tunes.
It might not be the next great musical event, but this little album does have at least one good song going for it.
GK Film Corporation's Tamil movie starring Vishal an Shriya is a mind-numbing cocktail of fights, songs and 60s cheesy dialogues.
It looks like Yuvan needs to find his moorings back again. He probably needs it after a spate of releases one after the other. Still, there are a couple of good numbers that make this album worthwhile.
It might often seem like a parcel of familiar tunes, but Varnam has one or two numbers that are refreshing, and the instrumentation does have several good moments.
It looks like the makers wanted a collection that was a complete replica of Ilaiyaraja's nineties work, and the album is almost a made-to-order catalogue of his works in those movies.
Royal Pentagon's Tamil movie is a suspense thriller which is let down by Dr Raam's acting, the music and the climax.
Cinema Paradise's Tamil movie directed by Shakthi Chidambaram is a lust-filled wannabee action thriller aimed solely at the front-benchers.
Though inspired by several Hollywood flicks, Sarvvam should have been a gripping emotional drama with well-placed action but for the second half that has lackluster performances and logic-less scenes. Plenty of Arya-worship also tends to be tedious.
With two composers coming together for one album, the results are a bit mixed. Though most of the tunes are familiar and none take you to scintillating heights, they are pleasant, and worth a listen.
Kavithai Gundar with rhythm ruling supreme, is hip-hop the Tamil way, dipped in near incomprehensible lyrics and liberal English. Emcee Jesz seems to have understood the allure of filmi music and slathered plenty of it into his album, which gives it s slightly different twang.
The music of Colonial Cousins shorn of the excellent orchestration and keyboard arrangements may not be scintillating, but the special effects take your focus away from the purely musical aspect and provide you with a good show. Worth a listen.
Despite its rather stilted performance, Meipporul is refreshing for its Hollywood-style take on things. Worth a watch.
Company Productions' Pasanga, directed by Pandiraj, is a delightfully feel-good movie with excellent performances. A must-watch.
Forget logic at home and you may just enjoy this Tamil potboiler starring Rajeev Krishna and Shayali Bhagath.
Mariyadhai is full of stock situations and trite dialogues but can satisfy Vijaykanth's fans.
Capital Film Works' Kunguma Poovum Konjum Puravum, directed by Rajamohan is an honest effort -- but falls short of expectations.
KRG Movies International's Guru En Aalu, directed by Selva and starring Madhavan has none of the flavour of the original Yes Boss.
Fans of Mani Sharma and Vishal are likely to be entertained. Oherwise, there's nothing much here for the discerning music-lover.
Considering the romantic genre of the film, the composers have gone all out to produce heart-wrenching numbers with familiar tunes and a potpourri of oft-heard songs. Some of them are pleasing while others aren't. The overall effect strikes you as quite average.
