Music Review: Ennathan Pesuvatho (Tamil)

Composer(s): D. Imman

With a lovely violin and santoor backdrop, Tholaivil Irukkum Megam is mellifluous in Imman's Ilaiyaraaja-styled arrangements. Sriram Parthasarathy fits the bill perfectly and is fantastic in his singing. Nenje Nenje is amazing not only for its orchestration, but also for Harshdeep Kaur's outstanding rendition of the semi-classical song. She is accompanied by Dhilip Varman for a Duet version, which is equally good, if not better. Yaaro Yaaro, in Vijay Prakash's vocals, is feel-good melody for the most part, and the short devotional Sabke Vinathi is handled well in two versions sung separately by Vandana Srinivasan and Nivas respectively. Adada Adada (Aalap Raju), again steeped in a Ilaiyaraaja'esque footing, is splendorous, and the mesmerizing guitar work only adds to the magic. Imman is back in top form after a not so good Tenali Raman.
