Music Review: Master (Tamil)
Composer(s): Anirudh Ravichander

Vaathi Coming extends the Chumma Kizhi template for a generic kuthu, while the techno-laced Andha Kanna Paathaakaa, in Yuvan Shankar Raja's vocals, sounds like an electronic hybrid of Hoyna Hoyna from Gang Leader and Yuvan's own Yaaro Ucchikillai Meley (Taramani). Kutti Story, despite its inspirational messaging and Vijay's laidback singing, is Kolaveri 2.0, but, sorry to say, this song structure is beyond its expiry date and needs to be laid to rest. Quit Pannuda (a song about quitting alcohol) and Vaathi Raid are straight out of Anirudh's repertoire, adorned with his usual bells and whistles so much so that every beat feels not only familiar but also predictable. Beat of Master surprises with its foot-tapping blend of folk elements, but it's Polakattum Para Para that emerges the soundtrack's highlight, what with composer Santhosh Narayanan having a ball rendering the thavil-backed rustic musical piece. But for the last two tracks, Master is a missed opportunity.
