Shocked by the sudden demise of the popular lyricist, the Tamil film industry took to Twitter to express their grief.
Noted lyricist Na Muthukuma talks about winning his second consecutive National Award win.
Yuvan is fast becoming one of those music directors who have evolved a template of their stock tunes and borrow liberally from oft-repeated melodies. Vaamanan is one such album in which he has not offered anything new.
The album may not be scintillating, but it's a pleasant listen.
The film has an interesting mix of songs.
The music scored by Karthik, has its interesting moments, but its lyricists score better.
Ayyan strives to be the quintessential Ilaiyaraja collection, although in a rather diluted fashion.
Siruthai's music is not terrible, but not original either.
Yuvan Shankar Raja moves out of his comfort zone with this one.
Mohan Natarajan's Deiva Thirumagan, with music composed by G V Prakash, has touching melodies.
For those who hoped for melodious numbers, this one might prove a dampener.
Lingusamy's Tamil album composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja isn't really one of his best.
Credit must go to G V Prakash for producing a Tamil period album without a modern whiff. Some numbers and musical arrangements do give you a sense of deja vu, but on the whole, the experience is sufficiently satisfying in introducing a fairly new world.
Despite little variation in the numbers, Rohit Kulkarni's composition for the Tamil film starring Kishore and Tinnu Anand, is still hummable.
Here's what the Tamil album has to offer.
Raaptor Media Film's Tamil album is for Ilayaraja's fans.
Yuvan Shankar Raja is usually known for trying to bring in something new to even the most ordinary numbers, but here it looks like he's stopped short of that.
Looks like Harris Jeyaraj is caught in a recycling rut as this Tamil album has nothing new to offer.
The music of the Tamil remake of Jab We Met is worth a listen.
All in all, this album tries to bring in a little of everything and through some clever usage of old hits and new music, succeeds in providing reasonably interesting fare.
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 looks like G V Prakash needs to re-group his resources after Kuselan or Seval's premise wasn't interesting enough, and he decided that ho-hum numbers is the way to go. The tunes are not too bad but somehow, you've come to expect a little more from this youngster who showed so much promise, to begin with.
Poi Solla Porom's music is a peppy, enthusiastic and just plain feel-good if unoriginal offering. Perhaps the picturisation will add some zest to the general musical ambience.
It is an enjoyable album which tempts you to press the rewind button.
Though Yuvan has steered clear of his favourite cosmetic trappings like rap and remixes, he still managed to bring out a youthful album.
Raj Co's Tamil album is a mish-mash of familiar tunes, most of which are forgettable.
Kaadhal had a certain freshness and a sit-up-and-listen quality to it that cannot be ignored. Joshua Sridhar has tried to revive the magic, but it looks like he's exhausted his fare with his previous attempt. You'll have to wait for Balaji Sakthivel's interpretation of the music for it to make any kind of mark.
