It begins with strange and weird Dumeel noises. You can't help but grin at Where Is The Party?, a typically irreverent take on Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna's Where's the Party Tonight.

Trumpets herald the beginning of Vechikkava, a remix from Nallavanukku Nallavan in the Silambarasan tradition and sung by him (not that he's worked himself much to render it) and Suchithra. There's not much to be said except that the number is fast-paced and raunchy.

Perhaps it's meant to evoke the same emotions as Kadhal Valarthaen from Manmadhan - certainly the song is very similar, though diluted. Na Muthukumar's lyrics speak of a romantic piece in a colloquial fashion. Ilayaraja croons Machaan Machaan, along with Bela Shende. Doubtless, it will serve its purpose in the picturisation. This one too ends with a fast-paced percussion piece, a la En Aasai Mythili. In the meantime, Silambarasan, Earl and Suzie Q have taken turns to present this hotchpotch of a song (little bits from earlier Yuvan creations), which has random rap with kuthu overtones. Nalamdhana begins with an English rap, the lyrics of which have been penned by Suzie Q & earl. The first Tamil line is the same as the old classic Nalamdhana written by Gangai Amaren, which seems almost a sacrilege when you compare it to the impact made by the original. The rest is all about how crowds gather for the hero and how the average Tamilian ought to raise his head. A certain percussion interlude is almost verbatim to the En Asai Mythili piece. With a typical nadhaswaram-rural beat and Shankar Mahadevan's voice, the tune (which reminds you at places of Podhuva En Manasu Thangam from Rajini's Murattu Kalai) offers no surprises. Up first is Kettavannu Peredutha Nallavanda penned by Vaali. In Silambarasan fashion, this one heralds his entry on-screen. Does Lakshmi Movie Makers' Tamil movie Silambattam, with the Little Super Star measure up? Here's the low-down: And considering the hype that usually surrounds a Silambarasan movie (that too with music by Yuvan Shankar Raja to boot), you naturally gear up for a blast. 'Yuvan and Simbhu combo at their best after Manmadhan and Vallavan,' blares out the CD, as you recover from the red cover.
