Kolusum Illa
Singers: Vishal Chandrashekhar
Lyrics: Charukesh Sekar

The album opens in the voice of the composer himself. The mellowed guitar rhythm chugs along in the background serving as the track's backbone. A strong vocal melody sits on its surface and the mood is enhanced by some skillful bass playing. The seriousness of the track is brought out by the machine gun percussions.

Tsunami Akka’s Theme
Singers: Resmi Sateesh
Lyrics: Folklore

Resmi Sateesh stands out for her unique folk tinged voice which gets better as it progresses. The song features a lively melody that’s robbed by the mood of despair and though the rhythm sounds familiar the composition does leave a lasting impact on the listener. Moreover the song highlights the production quality of the entire album.

Dosa Baila
Singers: Karunas
Lyrics: Karunas

A tearaway baila brings back Karunas into the spotlight as a singer-song writer. The mood is definitely celebratory even if the jaunty performance may recall the legendary Chandrababu, but the dosa patronage is worthy enough to get you going.

Nandan’s Theme
Singers: Instrumental
Lyrics:

The nonchalant whistling and the crescendo of strings lead the way for this impactful track. The pairing of the lurking strings and the threatening bass makes for a deadly combination.

Rajini’s Turmoil
Singers: Instrumental
Lyrics:

This instrumental track begins with a peculiar sounding rhythm from what sound like bamboo sticks leading to haunting vocals stirring up the listening experience. The track sounds like a never ending journey in which turmoil is inevitable.

Burning Rage
Singers: Instrumental
Lyrics:

Another eerie instrumental track which speaks in depth about the mounting tension and emotions - justifying the track title. Galvanizing string sections welcome a horn like musical instrument which gives a brilliant effect. Vishal C gives his orchestra a menacing role to play but he smartly leaves a melody behind to digest.

The Monk
Singers: Instrumental
Lyrics:

A meditative deep end sound fills your headspace along with the instrumental accompaniments orchestrated in a fashion that spells Vishal C's talent and immersive approach to this soundtrack.

The War
Singers: Instrumental
Lyrics:

The musical ambience for war is set with haunting blend of angry string sections, with a riff of pan flute and mellowed treble sounds. The track is breathtakingly conceived by the composer offering a fine display of how war can be portrayed through music. 

Verdict: Enchanting melodies and intense instrumentals!
