Pokkisham(Tamil,Sabesh-Murali)

Aaj Monee starts and progresses with pit stops at regular intervals which definitely adds to the tedium but the tune and the rendition by Vijay Yesudas make it really worth a listen.Azhagu Mugam,with infectious tune and pulsating backgrounds is awesome.And the 3 other versions of the song-Siru Punnagai,Kanavu Sila Samayam and Ulagam Ninaivil Illai are really endearing and u just warm up to all the 4 versions rather than wondering why there are actually 4 versions for a song.Ohh Ohh has minimal variations and imagination in terms of the tune but is neatly arranged.Anjal Petti is almost like a Vidyasagar style melody and is sprightly with awesome vocals by Karthik.Karthik also sings wonderfully well in the equally delightful Moondru Naal Aagume and there is some lovely use of sax in this track.Madhu Balakrishnan's heartfelt rendition in Mozhi Illamalae is perhaps more visible than Ranjani's vocals in Varum Vali Yengum.But the haunting backgrounds in the former and the punchy orchestration in the latter,both add incredibly to the feel of the song.Sabesh-Murali evolve out of their usual amateur stuff to come up with one confident soundtrack in Pokkisham.
