Music Review: Jil Jung Juk (Tamil)

Composer(s): Vishal Chandrashekhar

Anirudh Ravichander seems to be tailor-made for Shoot the Kuruvi, the quirky melody's tune almost evocative of something Anirudh would have himself composed. But Vishal Chandrashekhar makes up for it in its punchy hard-rock variant Shoot the Kili, with Siddharth confidently leading on the vocal front with aplomb. Violins rule the roost in Red Road-U, a bouncy rock 'n' roll number that's given a slightly Chaplin'esque treatment, and having composers Santhosh Narayanan and Sean Roldan croon the peppy song is easily its other major highlight. Domer-U Lord-U goes full on wacky, throwing in everything imaginable into the mix, but only works to some extent, despite a power-packed rendition by Kavita Thomas. Casanova's retro'ish scratchy prelude (as if played from a record player) paves way for a smooth jazzy ride, but not before shifting gears and treading into dubstep territory. Jil Jung Juk's music stays true to its outlandish title, very unconventional but appealing all the same.
