Barring the very heavy western feel, this Tamil album does have something going for it.
Some of the songs may yet work because of the film itself, but this is a very poor album.
Considering the romantic genre of the film, the composers have gone all out to produce heart-wrenching numbers with familiar tunes and a potpourri of oft-heard songs. Some of them are pleasing while others aren't. The overall effect strikes you as quite average.

Dasavatharam is a good album. But one wonders about the possibilities for such an over-hyped film, starring Kamal Haasan.

A R Rahman (who else, really?) makes waiting for his music such a worthwhile chore what with one fantastic soundtrack after another. Close on the heels of a deserving Golden Globes wins follows the anticipated score of Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's Dilli 6. Considering its impossible-to-define Chandni Chowk roots, Rahman injects the sounds of this 10-tracked album with an eclectic fusion of various genres. Bottom line: it's a 10 on 10.
