Naan Aval Adhu---
Vocals: Karthik
Lyrics: Na.Muthukumar
Music: R.P.Patnaik
A pleasing opening with violin, strings and ghatam rhythms.
The note ‘saa-ri-ga-paa’ repeats often which
ties up the whole piece nicely . Somewhat pensive rendering
by Karthik, whose soft modulations fall easy on the ears.
Nice instrumental interludes where you get to hear sax,
flute, and violins and some guitar . In both the charanams,
each line is accompanied by a musical bit that is varied
to suggest different moods. Interesting!

Vaa
Nila---
Vocals: Mahathi
Lyrics: Na.Muthukumar
Music: G.V.Prakash
You hear some nice piped instrument in the beginning.
The song begins with whispers and you hear some whispered
lines halfway through too. Of course the lyrics are
sexy but not overtly so. Except for a fine trumpet
interlude, you hear the keyboards mostly. Mahati tries
her best to infuse melody into the song and the result
pleases. You vaguely recall the old number of Ilayaraja’s
‘Aayiram malargale’.

Nee Dooramai Ponalum---
Vocals: Sunitha Saradhy
Lyrics: Na.Muthukumar
Music: Prasanna
The long drawn out opening piece of music builds up
the mood for the entire song—that of eeriness.
The entire song has a ghostly feel to it and even
the instrumental interludes are carefully woven in
with low ponderous notes dominating. The song ends
with a chilling shriek. Sunitha has successfully conveyed
a deep thirst in her voice, using the Madhyamavathi
scale. But somehow, the lyrics and the mettu seem
to stand apart. Why?
Kadhal Oru Kaatru---
Vocals: Shreya Ghosal, Nihal
Lyrics: P.Vijay
Music: R.P.Patnaik
