Vivek Siva and Mervin Solomon, Tamil cinema’s rising young music composer duo, elevate themes of romance and action alike on their blistering soundtrack to Sulthan. The carnivalesque opener “Jai Sulthan” is all cheeky whistles, joyous horns and rollicking choruses with an unexpected flute interlude—a mix transformed in their expert hands into a festive anthem. The soundtrack is also replete with pleasant surprises. Take the refreshing “Yaaraiyum Ivlo Azhaga”, which weaves bird calls with accordion melodies to come into its own as a delicate lovers’ ditty.
