Music Review: Vedalam (Tamil)

Composer(s): Anirudh Ravichander
Listen to the songs online here: Saavn

Veera Vinayaka, a new-age devotional song and a companion piece to Ajith's own Seval Kodi, and Aaluma Doluma, a racy dappan koothu, both feature a mix of folk beats and techno elements, but the latter fares significantly better. Don't You Mess With Me's R&B soundbed is just about functional, while The Theri Theme yet again shows Anirudh's penchant for heavy EDM. The soundtrack's highpoint, then, comes in the form of a lovely semi-classical ditty Uyir Nadhi Kalangudhae, wonderfully composed (almost evocative of Vidyasagar!) and competently sung by Ravi Shankar. Vedalam, although massy, is a step down from Naanum Rowdy Dhaan.
