Madras (Music review), Tamil – Santhosh Narayanan

The title song has fantastic chorus, overlaid on a groovy techno-kuthu sound. Santhosh’s delightful choice of instruments comes to the fore in Kakidha kappal, expertly handled by Gana Bala. Bala’s other song, Irandhidava, the retro-parody is less impactful, in comparison. Aagaayam theepidicha is Pradeep’s show, with his evocative singing, but Santhosh packs a significant punch too, with the pleasant guitar-mandolin loaded orchestration. The soundtrack’s best is Naan nee that makes an etheral melange of Shakthishree’s voice with guitar and violin backing. Of the two themes, Kaali Love is scintillating, while Suvar is less effective. Typically likeable and exotic Santhosh concoction!
