Engae pogudho’s soaring Hollywood-style composition is disjoint and at best background’ish. Its other version, Rana’s Dream, by London Sessions Orchestra showcases the tune’s rich tapestry better. Medhuvaagathaan is a throwback...
Continue reading...Legend (Music review), Telugu – Devi Sri Prasad
The title song is every bit what one would expect in a hero-worshipping jingoistic title song, almost sounding like a hymn! Vijay Yesudas and Chitra’s vocals make a big difference...
