Music Review: Theri (Tamil)

Composer(s): G. V. Prakash Kumar
Listen to the songs online here: Saavn

G. V. Prakash ropes 'the' gaana master Deva for Jithu Jilladi, and the tune, save for a generous spattering of dubstep and EDM, seems to be heavily inspired by the singer's own compositions back in the 90's. En Jeevan is the stringy melody G. V. Prakash sets aside for his better half Saindhavi, and she, along with Hariharan and Vaikom Vijayalakshmi, deliver it very well. Thaimai likewise is pleasant on the ears, with solid vocal purchase from Bombay Jayashri. Eena Meena Teeka features a lovely interplay between G. V. Prakash and Uthara Unnikrishnan despite its formulaic tune, but no such luck with Chella Kutti and Raangu, both of which are nothing but blasé kuthu fare. Shockingly untherific soundtrack this Theri.
