Manisharma’s ingenuity in tuning the peculiarly retro-styled Ettuko is quite apparent – this is a seductive track with supremely confident vocals by Geetha Madhuri. Hemachandra and Malavika help the sweetly...

Music review: Ganesh (Telugu – Mickey J Meyer)
That decidedly unimpressive kids’ chorus that opens Karthik’s Chalo chalore perhaps forebodes that Mickey’s latest may just belie the expectations set by his earlier, impressive soundtracks – but the track...
Continue reading...Music review: Banam (Telugu – Manisharma)
When you think the man is down and out, Manisharma bounces back and how! Kadile padam carries the confidence and poise of a vintage Ilayaraja song, complete with superbly crafted...
Continue reading...Music review: Anjaneyulu (Telugu – S S Thaman)
What’s with Ravi Teja and Thaman? After Kick, the composer scores for the actor again in Anjaneyulu. Dil se bolo is left-over Manisharma, with mildly interesting additions, while Yem vayaso...

College bulloda is the best example of a bad start – beyond the street-smart rhythm, it’s more of Chakri’s material, than Sandeep. Diridiri and Aawara too are way too simplistic...

Kalavaramaye madilo opens the soundtrack in Chitra’s impeccable voice – a deep, soothing melody with a beautiful part reserved for the title! The youthful exuberance of Tholi tholi is instantly...

Madhurayathana is a Ilayaraja styled 80s number – sounds like a neat spin off either Dharmavathi or Hamsanaaadham. Malli malli is enjoyable too – simple and enjoyable tune; while the...
Continue reading...Music review: Current (Telugu – Devi Sri Prasad)
You are my love story is catchy in a cheesy, typically Telugu way – and I mean it as a compliment! Ammayilu abbayilu and Rekkalu too are nothing new and...
Continue reading...Music review: Oy (Telugu – Yuvan Shankar Raja)
With simplistic backgrounds, the title song relies on Yuvan’s solid tune, while the by-now-trademark Yuvan tune in Saradaga is equally impactful. Yuvan’s awesome tune-smithing resurfaces in the engagingly mellow Waiting...
