- Tamil auteur Mani Ratnam's violent tale of a family blood feud over a multinational criminal empire finds his longtime collaborator and filmi music legend A. R. Rahman craft a complementary soundtrack laced with menace and passion. The indomitably sunny and catchy love song "Mazhai Kuruvi" segues into a furious flurry of Sunitha Sarathy vocals on the energetic "Sevandhu Pochu Nenju". Meanwhile, the haunting choral chanting of "Madura Marikozhundhae", with its understated tapestry of whirring looped voices and droning tambura, is one of Rahman's most uniquely original works.
- Rockstar is a musical love story, and A. R. Rahman's soundtrack features passionate numbers filled with intense lyrics by Irshad Kamil. The record is broad and all-encompassing, from the pastoral Punjabi of “Katiya Karun” to stirring arena rock anthems “Sadda Haq” and “Nadaan Parinde”. The magic of Sufism is evident in the whirls of “Kun Faya Kun”, while “Meeting Place” closes the album with an introspective meditation on the heart in a narrated track based on a poem by Rumi.
