Rowthiram

The film's music is scored by  debutant Music Director Prakash Nikki.
                        Maalai Mangum Neram – is the first song of the album  Ranina Reddy as the singer. The music with the combination of Thamarai's lyrics,  this might be a good melody to the album, by  debut music composer Prakash Nikki. The opening song infact sounds similar to 'Pudhu Vellai' song from Roja. 
                            The second song is Golimaare which is a typical gaana song. The attempt seems like a confused sound mixing effort from the music composer, with sounds jarring your ears!
                    Adiye Un Kangal is the third track from the Rowthiram album is a romantic duet number. The funny lyrics with Udit Narayan's voice describing the heroine  brings smile on the first hear. The song  bring some big impact on you. This makes u smile
                    Senganthal is the fourth song of the album. Another melodious romantic number from the album, with Haricharan's voice plays majore role in this song
                     The last is a Theme track with Bharathiyar's poem, suits with Sriram's voice.

Vandhan Vendran

            The film's music is composed by Music Director Thaman. The film's music rights has been bagged by Sony Music
            Anjana Anjana – Don’t get confused with Surya, Nayantara's duet song from 'Anjana Anjana' Aadhavan. This is also a romantic number with a tranquilizing effect. A calm and subdued song that is likeable on the first hear. With Aalap Raju's playback voice and the chorus, the songs lingers on your mind.
                 Kanchana Mala – is the second song from the album. The song oozes Kerala Malayali flavor. The interlude before the second stanza gives us the proof of it which might have been picturized on a beautiful Kerala background. The sounds & music are fast and gives us upbeat effect. With Kathik's voice the song stands out.
             Singers - Karthik, Priya Hemesh ; Lyrics – Thamarai
                 Anjo is the third song from the track of Vandhan Vendran. After a long time you get to hear Devan's voice in a fast paced cheerful number like this. The song is peppy, with a lot of drum beats and this song gives a flavor of being shot in a foreign locale.  
               Singers - Devan ; Lyrics – Kaarky
            Thirandhen Thirandhen – On hearing this fourth track of the album, we understand that Thaman has taken a melodious route to reach to his audience. The song though is sung by Shreya Goshal, Thaman has tried to bring a different voice altogether from the singer. Another romantic duet number, with a fast beat that reminds us of many other compositions.
           Singers - Aaalaap Raju, Shreya Goshal ; Lyrics – Kaarky
          Mudivilla Mazhaiyodu is the last sound track of the album. This song from the rest of the songs of the album seems out of place. This fast paced number with Hariharan's voice, reminds you of Thiruda Thiruda's 'Veera pandi kottayile' song.
          Singers - Hariharan ; Lyrics – Kaarky

Veepam

            It's been a while since we've heard Joshua Sridhar's signature melodies, and in the lost time, he seems to have upped his skill several levels! The Veppam music album is a delightful mix of lilting melodies, and some quick beats.There is some expectation on the film because the film is produced by Mr.Gautham Menon.
                                  'Oru Devathai...' When the guitar strumming begins, you already know this track's going to stay on 'repeat' for a while. With Na. Muthukumar's lyrics, this song is easily one of the best in the album. Soulful music combined with beautiful lyrics come to life in the voices of Clinton and Swetha.
                      'Mazhai Varum...' comes in two versions – a solo by Suzanne and a solo by Naresh Iyer. This is one of those compositions that move the listener to another plane. It's the pining for a loved one by a lonely lover, and that feeling comes across wonderfully in Joshua's music. Suzanne's version is a tad happier than Naresh's, but in essence both renditions are brilliant and moving.
                      The pace picks up with 'Minnale Pudikire...' Benny Dayal's style of singing is very interesting. His accent and modulation adds character to this composition. The beats are familiar but put to use well, so we'll let that pass! Na. Muthukumar's philosophies in verse are interesting.
                     The Veppam album is a glorious way for the Photon Kathaas music label and from 'the jamming session' video that was aired at the music launch it is quite evident that Gautham Menon loves the music.
