Paa(Hindi,Ilaiyaraja)

With shades of his 80's ingenuity in every part of the track,and with some cool backgrounds,Ilaiyaraja is at his phenomenal best in Mudhi Mudhi-Shilpa Rao is simply amazing,in both the versions.Iam glad she's getting into the bigger league now.In my opinion,she's even better than Shreya Ghoshal!..However,Shaan's slower version in Gali Mudhi falls way short of Shilpa's version.Bhavatharini's childlike rendition in Gumm Summ is awesome and the tune itself is still as lovely as it can get.But the disparate pauses in the middle is a sore point though!..Halke Se Bole doesnt make any impact while Sunidhi Chauhan's vocals is the only thing that works in an otherwise middling Hichki Hichki.With no offense to Amitabh Bachchan's effort in Mere Paa,the song is strictly situational barring the short and lovely interlude in the middle,which is used more often in the remix.Paa's soundtrack makes the cut for the first 2 tracks!
