Music review: Zamana (Kannada – Karthik Raja)

Happy birthday is a lame reworking of the composer’s Tamil music, while Bandhu bandhu is no better, with its standard kuthu track template. Kunal Ganjawala and Rita’s Mandhumagale showcases Karthik Raja’s composing skills noticeably better – the complex and catchy tune compensates for the lackluster backgrounds. Tanmaya naanu has an old worldly charm in its tune, with Bela Shende and Udit Narayan pitching in their best, while the best tune of the soundtrack, El elu janmaaku – an evocative tune with fantastic orchestration – is reserved for veteran Ilayaraja himself! Zamana’s soundtrack sees Karthik Raja in a surprisingly uninspiring form.
