Kolaveri team is back now, this time with a difference. While most of the songs in the album ‘3’ were completely melodious with a poignant touch, 21-yr old Anirudh strikes with a blend of melodies, rap, Kuthu and a fantabulous fusion in Ethir Neechal. Dhanush has penned lyrics for couple of songs and a crooned a fast beat Kuthu number as well. Veteran lyricist Vaalee and R.S. Durai Senthilkumar have penned couple of songs each.

Ethir Neechal Title Song
Singers: YOYO Honey Singh, Hiphop Tamizha Adhi, Anirudh Ravichander
Lyrics: Vaalee

Lyricist Vaalee comes up with an energetic song that becomes more emblazoned with the tremendous spell of fusionists and rap singers. The mixing has been fabulously done and guess who makes it sound more appealing? It’s none other than YOYO Honey Singh, who electrifies it with the Hindi Bhangra style and then it’s Hip Hip Tamizha Adhi, who adds more intensity.

Local Boys
Singers: Dhanush, Velmurugan
Lyrics: R.S. Durai Senthilkumar

Following his sensational ‘Kolaveri’, Dhanush is back on the tracks now. This is a fast-beat Kuthu number that has energy-pumping elan and the song is composed completely to offer treat for the frontbenchers in the theatres. One can expect the theatres turning into dance floors across the single screen areas. Undoubtedly, the song will top the charts within short span of time. Both Dhanush and Velmurugan have their magic spelled with this number.

Bhoomi Enna Suthudhe
Singers: Anirudh Ravichander
Lyrics: Dhanush

Simple lyrics, feet-tapping beats, mild stroke on guitars and interludes on harmonium – well, these factors define the success of this track. Anirudh Ravichander shifts the paradigms with his intonating style. Damage aana piece naanu, Joker Ippo Hero Aaana kind of lines easily gets into the senses of listeners, letting them join the track by the first time they hear it.

Nijamellam Marandhu Pochu
Singers: Dhanush, Anirudh Ravichander
Lyrics: Dhanush

Both the voices of Dhanush and Anirudh are completely computerized. Of course, Anirudh loves working with such panache, which is quite illustrious from his debut film. There are few attractive elements in the song that easily picks your attention.

Un Paarvayil
Singers: Anirudh, Vivek Selva
Lyrics: R.S. Durai Senthilkumar

The song doesn’t last for more minutes, but manages to keep you hooked onto it. The lyrical lines by R.S. Durai Senthil Kumar is pretty simple, but the instrumentals are delicately elegant that stands out as the major highlight in this track.

Velicha Poove Va
Vocals: Mohit Chauhan, Shreya Ghoshal
Lyrics: Vaalee

The song is exceptionally soothing as it flows through your senses with the beautiful voices of Mohit Chauhan and Shreya Ghoshal. Vaalee has written the song that is filled with emotional quotients. Listen to the track and you’ll find yourselves completely gelled to it.

Overall, Ethir Neechal will reach a good position in the audio markets. With the brand ‘Kolaveri Di’ written all over the album, the team keeps up the expectations managing to capture the interests of universal listeners.

Verdict: Laudable Treat from Anirudh
