ATSVS (Music)

Aindham Thalaimurai Sidhdha Vaidhiya Sigamani (ATSVS) is Barath's 25th film in his long career. Directed by LG Ravichandar, it stars Barath and Nandita alongside a huge supporting starcast in the likes of Karunakaran, Manobala, Thambi Ramaih and many others. Music is by Simon who caught some attention with his debut album, 555. How does this one go?

Aindhaam Thalaimurai Sidha Vaidhiya Sigamani - Madurai Chinnaponnu, Simon

Sung by Chinnaponnu and the music composer himself, this 2 minute track is a ridiculously gibberish start to the album. What a bummer.

Onnuna Rendu - Vijay Antony, Sunidhi Chauhan

Although this track has a catchy tune on the guitars and vocals by the notable Vijay Antony and Sunidhi Chauhan, the loud and jarring instrumentals take away all the spice from the song.  Vijay Antony might be the only good aspect of the number.

En Anbe - Vijay Prakash, Ramya NSK

Melodies are what Simon impressed us with in his debut album, and here comes the melody of this album. A pedestrian tune without much innovation, this track which grabs your attention at first falters halfway.

Elarai - Gaana Bala, Yabama

Gaana Bala is here. A Caribbean kuthu track, this is one track for the masses. Though the Tamil lyrics do gain some brownie points, the meaningless English lyrics do make the track fall flat. Nothing going right in this album so far.

Kandaangi Selai - Hariharasudhan

Coming to the final track in the album, and Simon seems to have saved his best for last. The saving grace out of all the songs, Kandaangi Selai works thanks to the lovely rendition from Hariharasudhan.

After an impressive debut in 555, Simon's commercial numbers do not manage to create the much needed excitement for this film which is already low key. Except for Kandaangi Selai, none of the songs pass muster, resulting in a crashing album. Dear Barath, with all due respect, why this film? 

Pick : Kandaangi Selai

Bad is an understatement.
