Kandha kadamba, like any hero-intro track, has every single cliche thrown in, in the name of lyrics and also dares to ask dating tips from none other than Lord Muruga. The techno melody in Uyire is barely passable, while O baby manages better on the listenability score thanks to a hummable tune and Rahul Nambiar’s enthu vocals. Devathaye vaa melodic phrases are pretty assembly-line and predictable. Ye aatha’s remix rocks only because the source itself is a cracker of a track, conjured decades back. That says much less about Manisharma’s score in Malaikottai – commonplace, uninspired and adequately boring.
