Music Review: Aaha Kalyanam (Tamil)
Composer(s): Dharan

Chinmayi is her reliable self in the Punjabi-styled festive bhangra Kadha Kadha, a fact that becomes more apparent in Bon Bon. Most likely the Tamil version of Ainvayi Ainvayi, the track retains Sunidhi Chauhan while getting Haricharan to croon alongside her. Benny Dayal makes a superb comeback in the Michael Jackson-styled Koottali Koottali and Usha Uthup's exuberant rendition complements his voice very well. Riding on nadaswaram and thavil to give a more South Indian wedding feel, Honeyae Honeyae, in two separate versions sung by Naresh Iyer and Supriya Ramalingam, is just about passable.
Naresh joins Shweta Mohan for a melodious romantic duet Mazhaiyin Saaralil, and the Aaha Kalyanam instrumental that follows it throws in all the instruments that you would see in a wedding, from trumpets, nadaswaram, mridangam to cymbals, you name it. The Punch Song — read the kuthu pattu — feels pointless. Yet you got to give to lyricist Madhan Karky for imaginatively stringing together all the punch dialogues from various films. The best of the album comes from Abhay Jodhpurkar and Shakthisree Gopalan, who, again in two different versions, deliver an outstanding harmony in the wonderfully arranged Padhiye Padhiye. Yash Raj films' foray into Tamil with the remake of Band Baaja Baaraat gives Dharan a major opportunity and he puts it to good use.
