Shammeer Sultan's Masura Pochey carries quite a wacky tune, but singer Gantasaala Raju does a great job delivering it in an oldie-styled accent. Cinemakaaran, composed by Andony Dasan, rides mostly on a simple beatboxing-driven folk tune to give the contemplative lyrics centre-stage, while the Raghu Dixit-tuned earthy title song turns out to be foot-tapping. Of the two instrumentals, Javed Riaz's techno-filled Fight Till Finish pales in comparison to Vishal's shifting Many Moods of an Accordion, with the composer nailing everything right in the ambient retro scorcher Kaatrodu (Anandi Chandrashekhar). Aviyal is indeed a musical potpourri, an aviyal I mean!
