Music Review: Bairavaa (Tamil)

Composer(s): Santhosh Narayanan
Listen to the songs online here: Saavn

Propelled along by a grungy rock base, Varlaam Varlaam Vaa is Neruppu Da 2.0 but full marks to singers Roshan Jamrock and Arunraja Kamaraj for their impressive full-throated singing! Nillayo banks completely on Haricharan Seshadri to tide over the familiar strings-laden melody, but the disappointment that's PaPa PaPa and Pattaya Kelappu (both mediocre and outdated kuthu numbers) is a bit of a surprise coming from the composer. Freeing himself from the soundtrack's commercial trappings, Santhosh finally gets to unleash his quirky side in the retro, smooth Azhagiya Soodana Poovey, adorning the heady tune with an assortment of funky beats, sax and strings. But for Azhagiya..., Bairavaa is a goner.
