Song : Oy
Movie Name : Oy
Singer : Siddharth
Music Director : Yuvan Shankar Raja

Yuvan hits form again in this soundtrack! If you loved "Cheeky Cheeky" in Saroja and longed for more, here it is. The title track is a difficult one to compose. Its cheesy when you insert the title in a lame way, and its lamer if you stress on it in the song. Yuvan avoids all cliches, by making this a song rather than focussing on the title. The song is credited to Siddharth, and if it is true, then credit goes to him too. My fav part of the songs are the ends of the pallavi, where an uncredited female singer chips in beautifully! 4 on 5 for this song!

Sundari

Song : Sundari
Movie Name : Gopi Gopika Godavari
Singer : Venu, Madhumita
Music Director : Chakri

This is the only likeable track in this movie, and likeable by a mile! This is what we listen to Vamsy's songs for. The unusual choice of words, tunes and beats. Illayaraja will be sorely missed, but this song will have to do for now. With each movie that Vamsy makes, I keep wondering if there will be more, and hence long for more associations with Illayaraja. Meanwhile, not to take any credit away from Chakri, this song is a winner! The flute interludes, the veena strokes and the gentle beat; they are all well captured in this song. Now for a nice visual with the Godavari background will complete the feast!
