Bhoome gundramga and Godava are every bit the kind of dancy tracks one expects from Devi, and the man sure knows how to push the right buttons even amidst the...

Singham (Music review), Hindi – Ajay-Atul
Sukhwinder Singh’s title song is emphatic and very South Indian-style hero-intro’ish! The remix is decently functional too, surprisingly! And, about the other two (only) tracks, there is nothing fundamentally wrong...
Continue reading...Veera (Music review), Telugu – Thaman S
Ekkadekkada is predictable Thaman-material, but is still engaging, mainly due to NS Ramya’s confident vocals. O meri bhavri too employs all familiar Thaman stock-sounds to good effect in a tune...
Continue reading...Mr.Perfect (Music review), Telugu – Devi Sri Prasad
Everything that Devi adds to Rao gari abbai, Light theesko and Aakasam badhalaina only makes them more jaded – mega recycle; Sagar and Megha do make desperate attempts to save...

I have this terrible habit of postponing to watch certain films…for no apparent reason. Magadheera was one of them and I saw it just last night, almost after an year...
Continue reading...Music review: Darling (Telugu – GV Prakash Kumar)
Hosahore is literally racy and settles into a nice groovy rhythm, while Benny Dayal’s Yeyo goes full blast in glitzy orchestration and vocalized effects to support Prabhas’ snazzy dance moves....
Continue reading...Music review: Oum Shanti (Telugu – Ilayaraja)
Even though the distracting rhythms belie the usual Ilayaraja-standard, Ottesi chebutha is pretty street-smart and catchy. In the title song, even if the dated synth jars, Raja works his magic...
