Thanks Kumar. Here are some more similarities:

All the songs are female songs (plus may be chorus)

Around 3-4 songs (except the last one) are sung by Chitra I believe.

4 songs (except the first one) are from Mani Ratnam's films.

Atleast 2 songs are picturized in the night.

2 songs (first 2) are picturized on Revathi

J said...

* Songs are related to rain/water and are shot in the night.

* Revathi is acted in songs 1 & 2

inum ethavathu iruka? :)

1) Most (all except Punnagai Mannan) directed by Maniratnam.
2) All scored by Raaja.
3) All female solo.
4) All (except Rojapoo) sung describing nature, rain etc.
5) Mazhai is described as "Poo" in more than 2 songs, I think.
