Modhi Vilayadu(Tamil,Hariharan-Leslie Lewis)

Shaan's atrocious pronunciation in Ottrai Varthaiyil is the sore point even as the tune is uninteresting,but the backgrounds offer some amount of excitement.Paathi Kathal is interesting-the structure of the tune along with the arrangements(Especially the Kuthu backgrounds that sneak in out of nowhere)is imaginative.Roping Deva to croon the title song is irksome-But definitely beyond all the predictable arrangements,some catchy layers and interesting rendition by Hariharan does the trick for this song.Leslie and Surmukhi's Chikki Mukki is catchy in a standard way,but Leslie Lewis' quirky vocals is strangely adictive.Latcham Varthaiyil,just like Ottrai Varthaiyil has a tune that is alien to Tamil cinema,but it meanders midway and finally doesn't seem to get anywhere.Vellaikkari is the pick of the soundtrack-The lively and the catchy tune is impressive and Leslie's added hooks are rocking!..The new sound and the imaginative working wih the tunes is evident in all the tracks and Modhi Vilayadu just hangs in there because of this!..
