The title song has a Harris Jayaraj’ish appeal and sing-along’ishness, complete with ‘O o oooo’ flourishes. Nuvvu nenu anna‘s wedding-style orchestration—though synthesized—makes it endearing, as does Surendra and Nayana Nair’s...

Right Right (Music review), Telugu – J.B.
Alli billi has a gentle and instantly appealing lilt; Hymath’s vocals (but, with the annoying digital enhancement!) and J.B’s orchestration (particularly the 2nd interlude) only makes it better. Bhoogolam bantilaga...
Continue reading...Gentleman (Music review), Telugu – Mani Sharma
Mani Sharma offers a lovely jazz package in Chali chali! The tune is breezy, and Mani’s singers—Haricharan, Padmalatha and Malavika—do a fantastic job! In Gusa gusa lade, the whispery tune...

For such a lovely melody, sung and by Ramya Behara backed by a smattering of nadaswaram (shenai?), Kotta kadhalay is annoyingly short! Kaav kaav is a foot-stomper that lives up...

Yaa yaa has a captivating bass that Mickey uses to great effect layering is well with the other folk elements, Abhay Jodhpurkar’s confident vocals and the excellent female chorus. Ramya...

Thaman splits Sarrainodu into 3 melodies and 3 dance tracks. Of the melodies, Telusaa is the sweetest, with lovely vocals by Sameera Bharadwaj and Jubin Nautiyal. Athiloka sundari is Vishal...

Yevare nee premaku‘s sufi’ish rhythm is charming, albeit a bit too commonplace. Sai Charan’s vocals, in particular, is fantastic. Kottu kottu is breathless pseudo-kuthu – racy tune and rhythm combo....
Continue reading...Sardaar Gabbar Singh (Music review), Telugu – Devi Sri Prasad
‘He’s back to do something’, goes the title song, indicating how undecided Sardaar Gabbar Singh may be about his next steps; the flashy tune and Benny’s punchy vocals help, though....
