Billa 2 - Songs Review

Ajith's Billa 2, the sequel to the successful Billa(2006) is now ready for release. Yuvan Shankar Raja has scored the music again and the audio been released with huge buzz around it; thanks for the teaser record youtube hits and to some vast campaigning by SONY MUSIC. Yuvan has not been on top of his game with flops albums like Rajapattai. It's been a long time since he gave some scintillating numbers. Adding to the misery is Harris Jeyaraj, and G.V. Prakash has emerged with some good numbers, so Billa2 is surely a big ticket for Yuvan to get him to the top position and show his capability, let's see what he has done with it.

Track 1 : Gang Gang Gangster
This song, might be the introduction for Billa. It was in all praise for Billa, hopefully will have some stunning visuals in some beautiful locales. There are a lot of repeat portions in the song, mostly the club music.  Billa theme in the middle and stefany's final part makes it a good number.

Track 2 : Idhayam
This is surely the pick of the album; Shwetha Pandit has rocked it. It's a solo song a slow melody with some classical tunes in between and was paused at right moments. This is the only song where we can feel Yuvan in the whole album. This is surely a pleasant treat to all Yuvan fans.  One of the heroines seems to be in very deep love with Ajith. Watch out for this song; it will top the charts for few weeks.  I have been hearing it in repeat mode. 

Track 3 : Yedho Mayakkam (Club Mix)
This song has the best start up, unlike any other song in the Billa2 album. Starting music was peppy and the female voice just soothes us and makes us feel good. However, when Yuvan comes into the picture, it turns down. For a change, Yuvan has sung it in low pace, and he remains in the same pace all through the song. It could have become a great song; Yuvan was bang on, but missed it all by himself with repetitive tunes and low pace.

Track 4 : Madurai Ponnu
It starts off with a classical tone; Andrea has done it in her own style. Yuvan has given a lot of variations in this song. Its a kind of folk song with some breaks followed by techno. This song can be termed as one of the better songs in the album maybe next to Idhayam and Billa theme music.

Track 5 : Unakkulley Mirugam

This song, will come in the most important portion of the film according to the lyrics this could be the song where common man, turns Billa 2. It might have some stunt sequences or sequences where he trains to become Billa. Its contains some hard Rock portions, with some heavy music. Ajith's screen presence only can turn this song into a hit otherwise this song is a pure let down.
Track 6 : Billa 2 Theme

Billa(2006) theme music was fantastic; it created a lot of vibes and made us all woo for it, but here it starts off with "azeem o shaan" music, subsequently later move on to "The Dark Knight" theme for a small portion after that comes to the Original Billa soundtrack. It's just a variant to the old theme music, but this is the best of  the album. It still creates the same goose bumps which was created in the first edition of Billa.
To sum it up, Yuvan hasn't redeemed himself. This album lies between average and above-average type. Idhayam is sure to soothe your ears, while Gangster and Theme music will make you feel Billa. Other songs are kind of okay type. Many tunes have been repeated time and time again in the song. Hope Yuvan will rise in the future and recreates his magic, but he failed to create the magic with his music in Billa 2.

Rating: 2.75/5
