The Tamil version of ‘All Izz Well’.
This one is something different from the Hindi
original. Yes, it lacks the infectious rhythm
and energy of the original. The song never really
slips into overdrive. Perhaps Harris made a
conscious effort not to get too close to the
original; you can feel it in the way he restrains
the build up to the ‘All Izz Well’
cry. But, this song does have some positives
of its own, some interesting portions, a naughty
energy and some curious honking noises used
well. Hemachandran’s voice reminds you
of Udit Narayan at times and the lyrics are
typical youth fare. But in the end, one feels
it would not have been a bad idea to get the
rights to the original song from Hindi; would
have sounded good in Tamil too.
