Egire is all attitude with some groovy guitar, while the cleverly tuned Aanandama alternates between somber and playfully rhythmic sections, with a tinge of melancholy peeking too! Abacha is conventionally...

Music review: King (Telugu – Devi Sri Prasad)
With inane lyrics, the title song and Nuvvu ready are insipid, to put it mildly, while A to Z, despite equally silly lyrics, is at least catchy in a weird...
Continue reading...Music review: Avakai Biryani (Telugu – Manikanth Kadri)
Veerudena has Shreya sounding like a diva, given the scope of this western-tinged melody while in Adigadigo, besides Karthik’s awesome vocals, Manikanth’s backgrounds strikingly soar midway to a grand scale....
Continue reading...Music review: Guru En Aalu (Tamil – Srikanth Deva)
With a Middle Eastern tinge, Alai paayudhey pointlessly lays its cards right at the outset – the manic kuthu rhythm that the composer adores. Chellame has Udit eating Tamil for...

Baagunde and Enduko are predictable, but sweet melodies with the expected lilt, while Merupula is surprisingly very South Indian, right from the rhythms to the way the twisted, flowing tune...

Veteran SP Balasubramaniam towers over Nee prashnalu, with a deep, SD Burman’ish tune and soulful backgrounds while the peppy OK anesa is expectedly cute and catchy. Nenani neevani seems to...

Maa vooremo’s unruly vocals by Malathi are appropriately raucous, while Manisharma recycles his own boisterous Tamil Pokiri title song in Eelesi nuvvu. The title song’s ennui boredom in the tune...

Yetu podam cheppamma is functional with excellent vocals by Naveen, albeit a tad monotonous. Karunya’s Andhamaina kalala and Gundelo illindi bring back memories of songs of the 60s/ 70s and...
Continue reading...Hare Ram (Telugu, Mickey J Meyer)
The two moody, thematic pieces – Jairam jairam and the theme music – are just marginally involving. Mickey’s vocals in the pop-induced, 80s style Nasha is considerably better. The proceedings...
