This ’90s-themed comedy’s tracks blend retro and contemporary

The soundtrack to this comedy about a teen who falls into a coma in 1999 and wakes up after 16 years is an appropriate mix of past and present sounds. “Paisa Note” gets breakneck trap beats, while “Oliyum Oliyum” lyrically references TikTok over ’90s pop orchestration and a chorus of female singers. “Hi Sonna Pothum” layers nostalgic memories about school life onto the kind of tropical house that’s all over today’s pop charts. But it’s moving ballad “Nanba Nanba”, which sounds like it could have been recorded at anytime over the last three decades, that feels truly ageless.
