Bhole’s singing is severely manipulated in Mummy, but it goes well with the song’s playful nature. Masthani is standard-issue Thaman – passable fun. Thaman showcases his prowess in Temple song...

Pandaga Chesko (Music review), Telugu – Thaman S
Life is beautiful has a joyous sound, but nothing much besides that given the staid tune. Dorikaade starts out in a similar way with Megha’s voice heavily digitized, but does...
Continue reading...Mosagallaku Mosagadu (Music review), Telugu – Manikanth Kadri
The title song starts off like yet-another club dance number, but gets totally infectitious, thanks to the foot-tapping rhythm and Baba Sehgal’s vocals. Naavaadai is a sweet listen – that...
Continue reading...Lion (Music review), Telugu – Mani Sharma
Mani does what he knows best in One And Only Lion – true-blue Telugu masala track that’s meant for a hero and two ladies prancing around him. Pilla, even more...

Nacchite ye panaina has a curiously intriguing disco-techno mix that’s easy on the ears. Okkariki okkaram and Aanati devadasu have simple, catchy hooks and the addictive musical phrases, besides Shalmali’s...

Man on fire has a fully loaded rock sound, but despite Bianca Gomes’ impressive vocals, the tune is commonplace. Shalmali is scintillating in Jil jil jil; the tune too traverses...
Continue reading...Okkosari (Music review), Telugu – Shravan
Alupe marachi and Egire kalala sound almost like Mickey J Meyer songs, with an extra layer of orchestration added on top! Both songs, with Karthik and Ranjith crooning them, respectively,...
Continue reading...Surya Vs Surya (Music review), Telugu – Satya Mahaveer
Preme santosham‘s tune is an odd melange, but the composer’s imagination shows through. Sayantram aaruki is a bit more cohesive, with its easily likeable Spanish sound and Senthil Dass singing...
