The
soundtrack
of
forthcoming
Tamil
film
Settai,
the
Tamil
remake
of
the
Hindi
adult
comedy
Delhi
Belly,
doesn't
have
the
cuss
words
and
expletives
of
the
original.
The
songs
are
catchy,
hilarious
and,
most
importantly,
short.
Each
song
is
less
than
four
minutes,
and
therefore
holds
the
attention
of
the
listener.
The
opening
track
'Agalardhey
agalardhey...'
by
Megha
and
Vijay
Prakash
is
one
of
the
most
popular
songs
of
the
album.
Effervescent
voices
of
the
singers
are
strongly
backed
by
extended
bass
beats
played
throughout
the
song,
while
the
mellow
tune
of
the
synthesiser
adds
a
nice
ring
to
the
song.
'Edhathaan
kanduttey
nee
pudhusa...'
by
Gaana
Bala
is
one
of
the
songs
with
lines
that
could
easily
be
misinterpreted
for
double
meaning
words.
However,
Bala's
lyrics,
written
with
deftness,
lean
more
towards
being
hilarious
than
sounding
lewd.
This
is
a
typical
Bala
song
crooned
in
his
inimitable
style,
making
it
catchier
than
anticipated.

Music
Review
The
next
number
is
single
handedly
carried
by
Suchithra
until
Karthik
is
introduced
to
carry
it
forward.
'Arjuna
arjuna...'
may
not
make
for
the
best
song
in
the
album,
but
is
definitely
one
of
the
more
stimulating
songs.
Thaman
mellows
down
with
his
pick
of
instruments
and
largely
backs
the
song
with
one
or
two
instruments
such
as
shehnai
and
occasional
pads.

Review
'Laila
laila...'
is
a
heavy
percussion-driven
number
with
a
touch
of
Eastern
flavour.
Even
though
Andrea's
voice
adds
some
energy
into
the
track,
the
overall
composition
turns
repetitive
with
synth-based
instruments.
The
jarring
mix
only
turns
irksome
after
a
point
in
the
song.

Review
Chinmayi
and
Sricharan
are
the
perfect
pick
for
the
refreshing
number
'Poyum
poyum
indha
kadhalukkulle...',
which
has
witty
lines
by
Madhan
Karky.
A
heavy
mix
of
acoustic
and
bass
guitar
brings
forth
the
cheerful
mood
of
the
song.
Even
though
Thaman's
tune
is
catchy,
there
are
instances
in
the
song
when
one
is
reminded
heavily
of
bits
and
pieces
lifted
from
albums
from
other
languages.

Review
The
theme
music
by
Anbu
Raja
and
Dhevan
follows
the
tune
and
tempo
of
the
Hindi
chartbuster
'DK
Bose...'
from
the
original.
However,
the
composer
has
refrained
from
using
expletives
and
instead
plays
with
random
words
and
instruments.
