Music Review: Vai Raja Vai (Tamil)
Composer(s): Yuvan Shankar Raja

Pachai Vanna is wonderfully splendorous and Yuvan croons it really well, although I wish he could have cut down on the song's auto-tuning aspect. Vandha Kadha, in Gaana Bala's enthusiastic singing, is a foot-tapping western kuthu! Pookkamazh too is instantly mesmerising, making for a pulsating techno club-friendly dance number. The harmonium interludes, despite exuding that Stereo Love kind of feel, is mind-blowingly fantastic. Sung by Yuvan and Hiphop Tamizha, Naam Vaazhndhidum is rap and hip-hop all rolled into one killer of a song. Rounding off the album is Ilaiyaraaja singing to the passable techno-dubstep mix Move Your Body (not sure if this was an attempt to recreate Agni Natchathiram's Raaja Raajathi!). After what seemed like an interminable stream of mediocrity, Yuvan Shankar Raja comes up with a massy chartbuster in Vai Raja Vai!
