 I beg to differ with your view points on Irumbile Oru Idhayam. Its not a
 masterpiece and its not my favourite in the soundtrack, yes but it is
 definitely not noisy or weak. In my opinion, its a typical AR techno song
 like Yaakai Thiri or Shano Shano and I like the feel of it.
 Trust me I hated both Yaakai Thiri and Shano Shano when I first listened
 to them. Though Shano Shano just managed to become a song I liked in the
 album, Yaakai Thiri became my favourite in Aayitha Ezhuthu. Just listen to
 Irumbile Oru Idhayam a few more times. I am sure it'll grow on u.
 And looks like AR has created this to satisfy one major portion of the
 Rajini fan following- Kids. I am sure kids would get addicted to this 
 song..

 Jai Ho!
 SubRAHMANIAN

 Furthermore, not diggin' the chorus song, Arima Arima, yet, however Im sure
 it will Grow. Kilimanjaro, Intro Song, & Kadhal Anukkal are the picks so
 far..
