Mani Sharma nails the bass and catchy tune of Paapi kondallo while his interludes offer a smattering of the Ilayaraja goodness. Meghale thele naalona has Vamsy’s finger-print in terms of...

Radha (Music review), Telugu – Radhan
Kaakki chokka is a foot-stomper of a hero-intro, with an extra punch in the percussion, though on a standard-issue tune, relying more on sound. The spritely percussion continues in Choopultho...
Continue reading...Venkatapuram (Music review), Telugu – Achu
Egire‘s background rhythm is delightfully unique and goes beautifully with the engaging melody sung by Yazin Nizar and Keka Ghoshal. Benny Dayal’s O Maya settles into a nice and catchy...
Continue reading...Thondan (Music review), Tamil – Justin Prabhakaran
The title song is yet-another generic high-pitched call for some cause. Chellakutti joraa, like Justin’s Ethithu veetu kaliflowere (Raja Mandhiri) has a gently playful and retro’ish touch, with a particularly...

Mira mira mixes swanky guitar and a dash of Wild West in what is essentially a catchy kuthu. Laage laage is no different; that violin phrase is such a lovely...

Kadhiley kadhiley has some snazzy keys and guitar, but fails to engage as a tune, while Rangadeva would make Thaman proud. Hey Sairam treats the peace loving Sai with some...

Johny Johny yes papa takes a peg out of the Yo To Honey Singh school of intoxicating music, and infuses Vodka into a nursery rhyme. Anup’s tune is understandably catchy...
Continue reading...O Pilla Nee Valla (Music review), Telugu – Madhu Ponnas
I Love You and the title song have nice enough tunes, but the lyrical drought—nothing but those words alone!—in both are adequately off-putting. Yemaindho yemo gani plays like a rough-around-the-edges...
