Wondering whether Vijay has turned so religious that he acted in "Bhagavathi" and now in "Geethai". Some hindu organisation has filed a case saying that the movie's title hurt their religious sentiments. The producer is now helpless as lot of publicity was made and even the cassettes are out now. The film was initially slated for Tamil new year release but now postponed for another month.

Yuvan Shankar Raja is fast becoming one of the successful music directors. The number of films churned out in his music and his composing music for Ajith and Vijay's films substantiate the previous statement. "Geethai" is his first project with Vijay. The director, lyricists and the music director have come out with the songs keeping Vijay's image in mind.

"Naan oadum" by Mano and Tippu should be an introductory song for Vijay and penned by Vaalee. Vaalee after writing such motivating songs with messages and advices for M.G.R. and later for Rajini now writes for Vijay. After a long time, Mano has sung in Yuvan's music and he has done a good job with vocal support from Tippu. This fast paced song is a pretty good start for the album.

"Mercury poove" by Nidheesh Gopalan, Bonnie Chakraborthy and Bhavatharini is the unmistakable Yuvan Shankar's style song. The song is not in usual one pallavi and two charanam style. It begins with a melodious humming by Bhava and suddenly gains speed and with nerve racking "mercury poove" line, it is sure to hit the charts. This is the pick of the album. The male singer sounds a bit feminine and could have avoided that. Karthik or Srinivas would have been best choice.The lyrics are by Pa. Vijay and his songs nowadays are so monotonous like "the sun being cool"etc.

"Vasiyakaari" by Devan and Chitra Sivaraman is an excellent dance number set in folk style with Yugabharathi's lyrics . It features again in B side with Hariharan's voice. The song begins with weird noise (music ???!!!) which will make the listener wonder whether something is wrong with his music system. But the song is so catchy and gets in to us immediately.

"Manase" by Tippu, Bonnie Chakraborthy and Swarnalatha is based on traditional Bengali Fakiri tune and the credits are promptly given on the cassette cover itself. Being an already hit traditional tune, Yuvan has nothing much to do in this song. Swarnalatha sounds squeaky at places and as usual Tippu has elevated the spirit of the song by his plastic voice. Pa.Vijay has given some meaningful lyrics for this song.

"Annamalai thambi" has lyrics by Vijai Sagar and beautifully sung by Tippu and Devan. The situation is that Vijay in dual role dance for this song, one singing in praise of Western music in western style and another in Ghana style. Devan has sung in western and Tippu in Ghana style. Though not upto Deva's calibre in composing a ghana, Yuvan has tried and given his best. Actually the ghana part is more enjoyable than the western style. With modern percussions and local tape music competing, the jugalbandhi is enjoyable and it is sure to attract vijay's fans.

Overall "Geethai" is a decent, pucca commercial album catering the tastes of Vijay's fans. Though Vijay has sung in Yuvan's music for the film "Velai" for Vignesh, wondering why he's not lent his voice for his own film. It's a good effort by Yuvan though his recent projects "Winner" and "Kaadhal Kondaen" were much better and innovative.
