In spite of being an Ilayaraja album, there is nothing exceptional about Kangalum...'s music.
Yaaradi Nee Mohini could have been an excellent addition to Yuvan Shankar Raja's impressive repertoire in recent times, but for the Udith Narayan fiasco.
Yuvan Shankar Raja has etched an intricate musical feast to compliment the tale -- and quite a feast it's turned out to be, a la the original. Pa Vijay, who penned the lyrics, has done an adequate job.
Mankatha's music hits the right note at times, and retreats to safe romantic templates at others.
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.
