After a string of successful collaborations, Oscar®-winning composer A. R. Rahman teams up once again with director Mani Ratnam for the music to the romantic drama Kaatru Veliyidai. Rahman delivers a mash-up of rhythms and styles here, often with a fun ‘90s throwback feel. We fell in love with Sathya Prakash and Chinmayi's heartfelt lyricism and virtuosic vocal performances in “Nallai Allai”—before being surprised by an almost unrecognisable Haricharan, singing "Tango Kelaayo's" female lines in a digitally enhanced voice. Throw in the ethereal harmonies in "Vaan", and you've got a Rahman soundtrack that hits cinema's sweet spot.
