Tamil Remix of the Year – 2007

2007 saw a lot of Remixes of old Tamil hits. Starting of the trend this year was Vasantha Mullai from Pokkiri. Then came remixes like Yeh Aatha in Malaikottai, Pon Magal in Azhagiya Tamil Magan, Engeyum Eppothum in Pollathavan, Andru Vanthathum in Kannamoochi Enadaa. The remake of 1980 classic Billa in 2007 had remix of two of the songs from the original – My name is Billa and Vethalaiya Pottendi.

“”The Verdict”"
My ranking of these remixes would be:

7. Andru Vanthathum – Ranked last coz of the blunder Yuvan had done in remixing this song.

6. Yeh Aatha – A lot of energy has been added to the song to make it great and entertaining.

5. Vethalaiya Pottendi - Shankar Mahadevan’s voice rocks.

4. My name is Billa – The original with some rap and guitar interludes.

3. Engeyum Eppothum – Yogi B has given the song a new feel. SPB is great in the song.

2. Vasantha Mullai – The tune of the original is maintained but lyrics of this song had been changed to suit the movie.

1. Pon Magal Vanthaal – A.R.Rahman’s magic has worked yet again. Though the song is just for about 3 mins, it has been mixed well and presented well.
