There is no doubt that Kamalhasan is one of the most brilliant actors the world of cinema has ever seen, but it seems to be very funny that he opted for Himesh Reshammiya as his Magnum opus Dasavatharam's Music Director. There is no dearth of talent in the south, especially when u consider music!!! I 've just heard the songs and would like to give u a review...1)ULAGA NAYAGANE...
This song doesn't survive the expectations it had after the initial Hype...though it might be the most catchy song in this album.....Very monotonous beats, similar to the song 'macarena' from Kushi (tamil)...unnecessary use of fiddle at the beginning....the vocals are peppy but gets boisterous at times....Lyrics seems to be catchy as it praises Kamal... RATING (3/5)
2)KALLAI MATTUM KANDAAL...
Very serious track which creates a decent effect while listening, with the haunting voice of Hariharan...however the background music and beats are pretty similar to a Ramstein song (a German heavy metal band)...Check out the link.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpwhRjLy0
May be the song will look better with the video, but it is definitely not one of the tracks one would keep playing on his IPOD....RATING (2.5/5)
3)OH OH SANAM....
I cant say which is more agonizing, kamal's semi processed voice or the pathetic backgrounnd music for this song....Himesh seems to have gotten really confused between bollwood and kollywood......thus giving us this transsexual song....Very cliche setup and musical arrangements.Heard this beat too often...RATING (1/5)
4)OH OH SANAM (remix)...
Cant believe i have to write another review for this song,but then the entertainment factor increases by a mile coz 'the nasal king' Himesh Reshammiya lends his voice to this track....i daresay his voice is better suited for this song than kamal.Special mention needed for Himesh as his tamil pronunciations are pretty decent...way better than Udit narayan..he sounds very confident of himself...however unless u are a hardcore Himesh fan,this song is nothin more than a post postmortem on a decaying carcass....A bonus rating of 0.5 for Himesh's Gallant effort....RATING(1.5/5)
5)MUKHUNDA MUKHUNDA..
Typical Himesh slow track,with very similar musical and chorus arrangements..Sadhana Sargam has sung it decently...but this track has no punch...It doesnt hurt your hears but doubt whether it'll stay on your mind!!!...RATING(2.5/5)
6)KAA KAARUPPUNAKKUM...
I might sound repetitive but a very cliche Himesh start to the song, then u find some similarities to the background music (Baazi laga from GURU)...Then a strikingly similar tune appears in the songs as the main punchline twice or thrice (similar to the song Ponna Pochu by Remo fernandes for the movie Khamoshi)....The lyrics seems to be incoherent at times...
The lyricist seems to have used a lot of English and has tried to be over creative at times(mexican and lexicon line , and the sept 11 twin towers lines rocks though)...
When you hear this song,all you can wish is that the video better be smokin hot with Mallika Sherawat or Asin.....that's the only medicine for the listeners.....RATING(2/5)
OVERALL VERDICT
- HOPE THAT THE MOVIE VISUALS WILL SAVE SONGS
- SAVE YOUR MONEY.THIS IS ONE ALBUM THAT MIGHT EVEN ANNOY HIMESH'S HARDCORE FANS
- GIFT THIS AUDIO CD TO YOUR NEMESIS

Yup..Himesh can do a lot better.
"post postmortem on a decaying carcass"
haha, brilliant review man.
I daresay Kamal could have donned one of the avadharams as the music director thereby saving the movie from such a disgrace....
