Album:Naan Ee
Song: Konjam Konjam...
|
Even though it is a dubbed movie from Telugu,
it is hard not to be amazed at the way Maragathamani (Kirawani
- Azhagan fame in Tamil) has transformed himself to the modern
music. This one stands out on the way guitar is used.
|
|
|
Album:Neethane En Ponvasantham
Song: Ennodu va va endru ..
|
The most expected album of this
year. Ilaiyaraja did not disappoint his followers. The instrumentation
use is outstanding and most of the songs has come out well.
But the songs still does not have an international flavor
like ARR. Probably Ilaiyaraja will get it after few more tries
like this.

|
Album: Kumki
Song:Aiyaiyaiyo Aanandhamae...
|
Excellent album of this year.
Imman is proving that he is not a one-time wonder (Mynaa)
but Prabhu solomon's input cannot be discounted. Nice songs
with beautiful picturization. These songs will stay in minds
for long!
|
|
|
Album:Thuppaki
Song: Alaikaa Laikaa ..
|
A decent album for a hit movie.
3 out of 5 is good. The songs are picturized very well by
Santosh Sivan. Watch out soon for a Hindi remake of this movie.
It is rumoured that Akhsay Kumar was offered this movie first
before Vijay latched on to this.
|
|
|
Album:English Vinglish
Song:Ummachchi Ummachchi |
Another dubbed movie but really stood out
especially from an Indian-US context. Must watch for IndUS
readers! It is available in Hindi and Tamil. Nice musical
compositions and picturization. We have one here!
|
|
|
Album:Maatran
Song:Naani Koni... |
Another big budget movie in 2012 but did
not do well as expected. However, Harris has done his part
well. 2 to 3 songs stand out well in this album. Our Jukebox
contains the good ones.
|
|
|
Album: Sundharapandian
Song:Nenjukulla Nenjukulla...
|
Another hit movie for Sasikumar. A good movie
to watch if you are looking for good movies. Listen to "Rekkai
Mulaithen" song in our Jukebox which has a novel composition.
|
|
|
Album:Neerparavai
Song:Para Para….
|
Another movie which had big expectations as
this director's previous movie fetched the national award.
Verdict for this movie is yet to come in. This particular
song "Para, Para ... " sounds new even though it
has a resemblance to "Sara, Sara Sara pambu" !
|
|
|
Album: Pizza
Song:Raathiriyai aalum arasan…
|
A suprise hit movie of this year. This song
sounds well along with the video than in audio. Enjoy the
combo!
|
|
|
Album:Attakathi
Song:Nadukadalula Kappala... |
Unexpected hit of 2012. The movie has many
folk (Gana) compositions. This one stands out among th e other.
Unfortunately, this is lyric based and it will be easy to
appreciate if you can understand the lyric.
