Director: Singeetham Srinivasa Rao
Pravin Mani has also scored the music for Vasundhara Das' debut Hindi pop album
'Meri Jaan', which has also 'Paadava' begins with a simple and endearing acoustic guitar score and moves on to Sujatha's melodious voice, allowing it to dominate. 'Baila re', by Clinton and Chitra, begins like a jazz number but subsequently takes on folksy beats. The song is repeated on the flip side too. 'Lady' is a nice and lively reggae number by Srinivas and Sujatha, but I just wonder if the lyricist couldn't have fitted in some better and sensible English lyrics in the beginning of the song.
'Jagam Engume' (lyrics by Kavivarman) is a chanting of shlokas by Srinivas, who incidentally shares the credit with Pravin Mani for composing all the songs, except `Baila re' which has additional composing by Manikka Vinayakam. 'Gone case', by Pravin and Srinivas, is a strange mix of the trance and hip hop genres. The movie is being produced by Media Dreams, which is promoting good movies. Their earlier production `Bharati' had good music and was appreciated for it. Hope the tradition will continue with their other offerings too. Venky |

After assisting A.R. Rahman for long with rhythm programming and the like, Pravin Mani finally emerges out of the genius' shadow. Incidentally another composer recently emerged from the same stable - Rahman's keyboardist, Harris Jeyaraj - whose `Minnale' is on the top of the charts now, even though the songs strongly remind you of Rahman's compositions. 
Vasundhara Das is in a slightly mellow mood in
'Leila' when compared to her earlier hot numbers for Rahman and Deva.
