Villu

Devi Sri Prasad has always impressed. Be it Mayavi, Aaru, Sachin, Mazhai, Something Something or Santosh Subramaniam. Being a Tollywood import himself, this time he brings with him a whole set of singers from there, to sing for Villu.

They say where there's a villu, there's a way. What about this villu?

1. Hey Rama Rama : Undoubtedly the Vijay entry song, it portrays his larger than life image,and has Kovai Sarala to pep things up a little bit. Surprisingly the song is not too loud but a very decent hear, far better than many of his recent intro songs.

2. Nee Kobapattal : This song has exactly the same kind of feel, beats and instrumentation as Nee mutham ondru from Pokkiri and hence there's nothing new. Average.

3. Daddy Mummy : I remember bugging Mogi to explain in detail the meaning of "Puli maanai vettai dhan aadidume kaatil,maan puliyai vettai dhan aadum idam kattil", acting as though i couldn't comprehend anything. Daddy Mummy takes vulgar lyrics to a different level altogether, making it an all time high.

4. Are you crazy : Lasting just 46 seconds,this track consists of Nayanthara throwing insults at Vijay, but the way it's been made into a tune is innovative.This will most probably be played only in the background.

5. Jalsa : The Jalsa line is catchy and the rest of the song isn't bad too. The song hints at a dance showdown between Prabhu Deva &Vijay, which means that the success of this song depends on the video as well. Nayanthara & a certain DSP are also mentioned. I scratch my head and begin to wonder who this DSP could be and then suddenly it strikes me! Devi Sri Prasad of course! Isn't that smart?

6. Vaada Maapilley : A very enjoyable village folkish track, this song is small too and before you realize, it's over. There's also Vadivel's gibberish in the middle but otherwise the song is good.

7. Dheemthanakka Thillana : Other than the fact that DSP himself is singing it, there's nothing much to this song with silly lyrics. Average.


Devi Sri Prasad continues to impress. There's nothing great in this album, but it's more than enough for a Vijay movie. All the best for Kanthasamy, dude.
