This is the third movie for yuvan with Ajith. The first two movies Dheena and Billa were big hits.Yuvan’ s orchestration skills are brought to the fore in this album. Saroja was an interesting album but Yuvan has taken one more step ahead with this album.All the songs are Peppy but strangely there is not even a single slow song in the album.

Hey Salaa (Blaaze, Naresh, Mohammed Aslam)
The best song of the album . Blazee as usual is full of energy in the album. There is a flute interlude in the middle which reminded me of the ‘Mein Hoon Na’ title song. The song is fast and has a terrific rhythm to it. This will be a sure hit with the youngsters.

Kichu Kichu (Yuvan Shankar Raja, Vasundhara Das)
Vasundhra Das has a magnetic voice and Yuvan has used it very effectively.The song , compared to the rest of the songs is slow but packs a punch with the constant bass beat in the background.The orchestration skill of Yuvan is again the winner here.

Odum Varayil (Kay Kay, Bela Shende)
Another fast song sung by the awesome Kay Kay with Beia giving him company. A metal guitar is the star of the song . Beia again reminds me of Shreya Ghosal. The song transforms into a melody in the middle and Beia is in her elements at that point.

Hey, Baby(Shankar Mahadevan)
I think this is the first time Yuvan has stepped into Jazz music and he has done a commendable job . Shankar Mahadevan as usual is electrifying and uses his heavy bass voice to suit the mood of the song. The Hindi version of this song’s visual was a terrific hit . Hopefully the same happens in the Tamil version.

Yahoo (Sathyan, Ranjith, Naveen, Suvi)
Sleek orchestration and youthful singers make this song memorable. This song is also a fast paced , rhythmic song about life in the college campus.

I would consider this album to be a mixed bag as I could not remember any of the songs even though I enjoyed the album when I was actually listening to the songs.

It is worth buying the CD.It will be a big help in the dance floors
