Do Re Me
Vennila Siragadikka
Kadhal Poonga
Thachukko Thachukko
Siruthooral
Kola Kolaiya
Music review: A good album by Vidyasagar, who seems to have concentrated on melodies too this time, instead of just pleasing the front-benchers, as he has been doing quite often recently. There's 'Do Re Me' for the youngsters, 'Vennila Siragadikka' for those you like melodies, and 'Kola Kolaiya' for folks who prefer folk songs. To sum it up, there's something for everyone in Ponniyin Selvan.

Piyu Bole
Kasto Mazza
Soona Man Ka Aangan
Kaisi Paheli Zindgani
Raat Hamari
Dhinak Dhinak
Hui Mein Parineeta
Music review: I'm sorry for not bringing the review of this album earlier. In case you still haven't heard the songs of this movie yet, make sure you do. I haven't heard as many Hindi movie songs this year as I would have liked, but this is hands down the best of the year I've heard so far. You'll only need to listen to the album once to get hooked to the songs. Great effort from Shantanu Moitra. I'll be looking forward to the future releases from this music director.

Khajuraho
Enna Paattu
Kaatril Varum
Ilamaikku
Konjam Thira
Ponnukkindha
Music Review: The last release from the successful combination of Ilayaraja and Fazil was Kannukkul Nilavu, way back in 2000. The masters return with Oru Naal Oru Kanavu, and for sure, the music is well worth the wait. Splendid performances by all the singers, especially Sonu Nigam and Shreya Ghosal. I guess I'll never figure out how the singers who don't know Tamil manage to get the diction right only for Ilayaraja. Good music gets the appreciation it deserves only if the movie too becomes a hit. Illayaraja has delivered his best, and if Fazil too is in good form, this album has all it takes to become the best musical score of 2005.

Dheere Jalna
Kangna Re
Phir Raat Kati
Laaga Re Jal Laaga
Khaali Hai Tere Bina
Minnat Kare
Dheere Jalna (Instrumental)
Music Review: If you are looking for the typical chartbuster-type music from this Shah Rukh Khan movie, you will most likely be let down. This album is worth a hear for its melodies, but I was disappointed that the music director of the movie decided to reuse a tune he had composed for a Telugu movie years ago, for 'Phir Raat Kati'. Et tu M.M.Kreem?
