Music Review: Vaaraayo Vennilaave (Tamil)

Composer(s): Karthik Raja
Listen to the songs online here: Saavn

Ambaani Ponnu is your usual gaana pattu but has that unmistakable Ilaiyaraaja flavour. The Maestro himself goes behind the mic alongside Aditi Paul for a lovely melody En Kadhal. The Reprise is nothing to rave about though. Intha Aylesa's (Haricharan, Ranjith, Ramya NSK et al) catchy percussion is its highlight and the singers' exuberant vocals are pitch-perfect. Karthik ropes his brother Yuvan for the breezy Kannadi Parkkama and as usual he does a middling job. The expansive arrangements of Unnidam Ondrai are easily the tune's best parts and is well-supported by singers Aditi Paul, Saindhavi and Haricharan. The gorgeous semi-classical melody Uyir Ennum sees Madhushree at her impressive best and the orchestration is truly scintillating. Karthik Raja delivers the goods with Vaaraayo Vennilaave; he should be composing more!
