Album: The Greatest Hits
(July
27th 2000)

The CD/album has as many as thirteen songs. All the songs have a common aspect in the fact that they are very popular kritis.
Review of 'Moongil Kaatre'
(July
20th 2000)

Music Review of 'Kunwara'
(July
13th 2000)
The title song `Main kunwara aa gaya', by Sonu Nigam, in spite of its dance beats and fast pace is very ordinary.
Review of 'Pennin Manathai
Thottu'
