The title song has got to be the corniest ode to the Lord at Tirupati ever; while it’s great to hear Mano’s voice after a break, it still is a...

Music review: Adhurs (Telugu – Devi Sri Prasad)
Devi and Baba Sehgal repeat their Jalsa magic in the super catchy and punchy Assalam valekum. Hariharan rocks the otherwise standard and soaring power-melody, Chandrakala, but Chari, with its comic...
Continue reading...Music review: Kasko (Telugu – Prem Gi Amaran)
Dheera gambheera is a sub-standard start to the soundtrack, with its stale grooves, but Naveen and Sujatha’s Krishnaveni gets everything right with its addictive tune. Nachchavey’s gorgeous melody is very...

Maa Telugu talliki scores big time with its atmospherically inspiring orchestration, even as it expertly intersperses Sri Tanguturi Surya Kumari’s ubiquitous and evergreen original brilliantly! Despite the predictably familiar rhythm,...

Mama mia holds groovy hip-hop appeal, while O baby baby falls more in the Harris Jeyaraj-style, with some exotic orchestration thrown in. The Madonna’ish I wanna talk to you works...

Kanti chooputho, beyond its middling tune has something appealing – the chant-like phrase is quite repetitive of 80s Ilayaraja and helps this track considerably. Okkasari wins round one for the...
Continue reading...Music review: Ek Niranjan (Telugu – Manisharma)
The languorous style of the title song is appealing, thanks to Ranjith’s superbly casual rendition. Hemachandra and Geetha Madhuri’s Gundello is typical Manisharma material – a tuneful and catchy, massy...

The Kurinji raaga-based Muddugaare yashoda has been treated with an almost Rahman-like arrangement by the composer – the crossover arrangements adding a rich layer to the classical composition. Hariharan and...
