Seethakoka nachchave is lively and animated, even as the verses by Dharshana extend interestingly longer than usual. Shweta Mohan is fantastic in Hey po, that, despite a stock rhythm, manages...

Genius (Music review), Telugu – Joshua Sridhar
Benny and Apoorva whip up a heady kuthu in Chirigina notu! Joshua gets Shweta Mohan into his Kalloori groove in Yevevo kalale – lovely tune, well-orchestrated. But his boringly repetitive...
Continue reading...Bus Stop (Music review), Telugu – JB & G.Anil
JB’s title song is a zingy string of musical phrases and dialogs… all catchy and very Harris Jayaraj’ish! His other song, Kalalake kanulochina is fantastic – lovely melody wonderfully sung...
Continue reading...Routine Love Story (Music review), Telugu – Mickey J Meyer

Chakri’s Ninnu choodakunda is painfully boring, despite a star voice like Adnan Sami, who sounds strangely off-tune. His Pillandham keka keka is no better – awkward faux-Punjabi start and a...

The Darbaari Kaanada’ish Extra Ordinary is funny and funky… and superbly sung by Hemachandra. Melikalu sees Mani at his standard commercial self – mixes multiple genres and every line sounds...

Omkaram srusthi, Pancha graha kootam and Dheemtana are background’ish and functional. Shiva shiva shankara and Bhoonabhontaalake are more filmy, and largely templatized. Nesthama is more like good old Devi; catchy,...
