Music Review: Maari 2 (Tamil)

Composer(s): Yuvan Shankar Raja
Listen to the songs online here: JioSaavn

There is no denying Yuvan's terrific bounce back to form this year. However with Maari 2, like the Sandakozhi 2 that came before it, the composer plays it safe, sticking to formula and churning out a folk-heavy soundtrack that, while catchy, offers little else. Rowdy Baby is fun in a way that recalls to mind Don'u Don'u Don'u from the prequel, and Maari Gethu works quite well as a raucous high-tempo kuthu, if one can get past Yuvan and Dhanush's spotty vocals that is. It is the singing that also mars the gorgeous Ilaiyaraaja-sung melody Maari's Aanandhi, with the maestro's vocal strain so evident it's almost unpleasant just listening to it. So-so this Maari 2.
