BILLA starring Ajith Kumar

Yuvanshankar Raja was the man behind the great remake of the of yesteryear blockbuster Billa. His work shows many similarities with the original.
Ajith's devotion to his work is shown clearly in this film.Yuvanshankar has managed to come up with a mix of a mass and class in Billa with a couple of remixes from the original all set to appeal the masses. The songs of this film are really enjoyable.
A right mix of hip-hop, melody and class, the new version of 'Billa' has songs which will top the audio charts straight away. Groovy and trendy, the album has songs which will set the foot moving.
Groovy tracks complete with exotic interludes and orchestration makes up 'Billa'.
Especially the 'Billa' Theme (Instrumental) takes us to a different world. With guitars dominating, the theme song is a masterly work from young Yuvan.
My name is Billa (Naveen, Kay Kay)
It was really and soul of youngsters in the late 1980's. Yuvan was really careful in getting the soul of the song and give it a different colour. Being set in a racy tempo, the song has all ingredients to make it big. Naveen and Kay Kay have tried to catch up with SPB, who rendered the original.
The rap and the guitar interludes deserve appreciation.
Naan Meendum (Deepika)
Watch out for Deepika. The newcomer has rendered this racy number to near perfection. Peppy and foot tapping, the song has enough stringed instruments in the interludes to make it mystifying. A right song for sombre mind. Peppy and pacy.
Sei (Nithya Mahadevan)
Again a racy number. The instruments seem to have overtaken the vocals. But the pace at which the song progresses makes us forget about the vocals. A typical Yuvan song rendered in an Anglican accent. Watch it with visuals, it may appeal to you.
Seval Kodi (Vijay Yesudas)
A typical mass song. Interestingly the soft voice of Vijay Yesudass has been roped in to sing this number. Peppy and filled with brisk music, the Seval Koddi is a perfect number for Ajit fans to rejoice in cinema halls.
The use of percussion and additional rhythm is a delight to listen to.
Vethayala Pottendi (Shankar Mahadevan)
The songs were made beautiful not only by music but also by the scenes in the movie.If you fail to see this movie it will be a great loss to you.
