Music Review: Thoppil Joppan (Malayalam)

Composer(s): Vidyasagar

Chil Chinchilamai is Vidyasagar at his mellifluous best, made even more arresting in singers Madhu Balakrishnan and Shweta Mohan's top-notch rendition. Benedict Shine delivers Manamilla with the piety it deserves, while the folky Onpathilage takes us back in time to the composer's Omanappuzha (Chanthupottu) days. The title song is an interesting folk-rock fusion, but the soundtrack's highlight is Poovithalai, with K. S. Chithra and Abhirami Ajai acing the soulful melody in two different versions. Vidyasagar is back and how!
