Kangal Irandaal (Belly Raj, Deepa Miriam)

A catchy classical melody this is. Lyricist Thamarai lends grace to the song with her lyrics. The song set on a classical raaga has western interludes in between. James Vasanthan's delectable use of the vocals and rhythm work out wonders. The good use of flute in between is noteworthy.

Madura Kulunga (Velmurugan, Suchitra, Madurai Banumathi & group)

A rural song. Laced with ethnic beats, the song recreates the ambience of a temple festival.

An enthusiastic number, the description of the local festival by Yughabarathy is attractive.

Kadhal Siluvaiyil (Shankar Mahadevan)

The songs, penned by Yugabharathy, which expresses the sufferings one undergoes after falling in love, has good use of wind instruments.

Theme music

James Vasanthan has made the East meet West in the theme music. The pacy musical score has a mix of Indian and Western instruments at the right mix.

Theneeril Snehitham (Benny Dayal)

A song with peppy beats and English rap. The song takes the listeners to the music culture prevailed in west in 1980s. Pacy musical score and the catchy rhythm created with percussion instruments strike the hearts of the listeners. Benny chips in with his best.

All credit to James Vasanthan for coming up with high quality music considering this to be his maiden venture on big screen.
