Vazhvu venduma vaa is arduous in every way – Madhu Balakrishnan’s singing, backgrounds et all. To be fair, Unnai kel does show the sparkle the composer displayed in soundtracks like Marupadiyum, but his singing is far removed from his hey days when I used to simply lap it up. Oru murai kettaale is another story altogether – an archaic tune and dated arrangements that painfully remind us of Ilayaraja’s peak output period, while Keerthanaar aarambathiley is a thoroughly annoying and cringe-worthy hodge-podge. Its rather ironic that the music of this animated feature film is as caricatured as the film itself.
