Lovely music, agreed, but all of them are recycled tunes from Ilayraja's earlier soundtracks. Why use the same tunes over and over again? Jaane do na is a lovely song, but is just a dubbed version of an earlier superhit 'Jotheyali jothe jotheyali', a kannada song which probably has a tamil version too.
I personally was quite disappointed that Ilayraja did not bring anything new to the album but presented all of his old wine in a new bottle. The bottom line is that the album rocks and is very melodious but, for as much a talented music director he is, he could have created some new music, which would have been equally appreciated.

My 2 cents.
