Attarintiki Daredi - Audio Review

Movie: Attarintiki Daredi ( 2013 )
Music: Devi Sri Prasad

Director: Trivikram Srinivas

Producer: BVSN Prasad

Cast: Pawan Kalyan, Samantha

Power star Pawan Kalyan is a rage among fans. After Gabbar Singh, he got a great place in the film industry and fans. He is working with Trivikram again after successful combination in terms of Jalsa. When this combination is working again after Gabbar Singh, the sky is limit for the expectations. Pawan's movies have been consistent enough providing good music, whether be it Ramana gogula, DSP or some one else. DSP and Pawan are on a hattrick with their past two movies were successful in terms of music. Trivikram who is known for his sensible dialogs have been good at lryical department extracting good songs and tunes for them. This movie has 6 songs, one is a bit song and rest all made for Pawan. RJS gets major share in songs as one song goes to Sree Mani and other to DSP himself. Surprisngly Trivikram leaves out Sirivennela from this album. They both share a different relationship. It would have been nice if Sirivennela would have written a song. Singers are different than routine. Malgadi Subha is recalled. Surprisingly DSP writes, composes and sings a song.

Lets see how songs are made, whether it is strictly for fans or everyone in general.

1) Aaradugula Bullet
Singer(s) : Vijay Prakash , M.L.R Karthikeyan 
Lyrics : Sree Mani

Power Star movies needs to have a power ful intro song. Till now he succeeded in providing great songs that have lyrical values, powerful singing, energetic tunes and electrifying songs. This song was tuned differently by DSP without missing any trademark standards of Pawan Kalyan. This song is brilliant at times in terms of lyrics and falls flat at others. Vijay Prakash, MLR karthikeyan sang the song just the way the song demands. DSP, Pawan, its only sky is the limit for picturisation for Trivikram. If he make great justice this song will remains for a while. Its definetely a power packed song. DSP gets full credit for this song for correctly mixing everything in right proportions and not going overboard, over loud.

Coming to the lyrics, the intro line of the song sounds powerful when the lyricist says, గగనపు వీధి వీడి వలస వెళ్ళిపోయిన నీలి మబ్బు కోసం తరలింది తనకు తానె ఆకాశం పరదేశం. నీటి చుక్క కోసమే విడిచింది నగమే తన వాసం వన వాసమ్. This line appears for a moment great and powerful with tune and singing, however this line on whole not sure what lyricists wanted to say. The same is with the lyrics overall. The words are there but overall confuses a little bit.  Lately the lyricists give the impression is that they are good in pieces, but definetely lack the full package to make a mark.

2) Ninnu Chudagane
Singer(s) : Devi Sri Prasad 
Lyrics : Devi Sri Prasad

DSP has written, composed, and sung this song, which is itself an achievement. However writing a song is no big deal lately as the significance of lyricist of the songs has gone down pretty much in a song. If some one can write some words instead of humming a tune, people will croon some words. Thats all a song is about lately except few. However DSP cleverly mixes some right words and makes it better but the lines like "చీర కట్టి చిందు లేస్తే చీమలా నేను వెంట పడనా and then "కృష్ణ రాధలా నొప్పి బాధలా ఉందాం" as with other lyricist, only DSP knows what he wrote in the song.

Then since he wrote he did good justice in terms of tune and sung it with care. Whenever he thought he has issues, he got support interms of instruments or chorus. But still he cannot be a better singer as he was reckless at places and dull at other. Some one says, Once more with feeling? If at exists he can provide, but thats just something we cannot take it seriously. The saxophone was good. This song is longest in the album, How come "Attaleni kodalu" came in between? Whatever it is they sang it better. These type of songs prove why they are classics. Then the song changes its pattern filled with energy. Though he said Telugu bhaasha lo padaalu, he song and wrote. Even with these issues, this song has "sarasam", kypu, mattu and kavvimpu which should impress on the screen.


3) Deva Devam
Singer(s) :  Palakkad Shreeram , Rita  
Lyrics : Rama Jogayya Sastry

DSP shouldnt have made Shreeram struggle, he should have made him sing in his comfort zone. MS voice is bliss, what is the context of using this and modifying it a little bit not sure, movie might tell.

4) Bapu Gari Bomma
Singer(s) :  Shankar Mahadevan 
Lyrics : Rama Jogayya Sastry

DSP starts the song with a tune that sounds yesteryear tune, Then Shankar adds his voice. Ramajogayya sastry tries to explain heroine as bapu gari bomma, but with further description goes no where close to how a bapu bomma would look and feel. Shankar Mahadevan inpsite of singing in Telugu more than a decade and having at one time more songs than any one, it is sad to see he still struggles to sing proper Telugu. That shows these guys dont have dedication the yesteryear singers have. vidyut teega, poyinanta dooram, oohallo and many more are surprisingly hard for him. Why are these singers paid hefty amount to sing whatever they want only producer/director and the team should know. This song reminds a bit of Nuvvostanante nenoddantaana just a coincidence. DSP plays safe with this song, he uses clarinet which goes well with the song. The beats add to it and overall this song passes with average marks.

5) Kirraaku
Singer(s) : Narendra , David Simon 
Lyrics : Rama Jogayya Sastry

I thought Kirrak is just as it is, kir raaacku is tailer made for Power Star I guess. Kir raacku is used for keka by RJS. Anyways DSP tried to be different in this song. David Simon rap and Narendra combination worked out well, except Narendra's nasal ending for each line modifying the end should have been done well. The interludes are an extension of few other songs of DSP. The instrumentation for Kirrack starting is foot tapping. RJS is at his peak in his multilingual lyrics. Glaad that this song by saying kirraku puttinchaavu, didnt get the listeners feel chirraaku puttinchave DSP. This song if aided by Pawan, will fare very well.

6) It’s Party Time
Singers : David Simon , Malgadi Shubha 
Lyrics : Rama Jogayya Sastry

Good to see Malgadi Subha again. This song might be for the forgotten actress called after 12 years. When on one side, Malgadi sings effortlessly, other side, David tries to impress with many voices like Adnan, Udit, DSP and other, but his hardship doesnt work. DSP was soft in this song, without adding too much energy and vigor. The beat was fine, the rhythm was fine, but sounds routine and heard else where.

Pick(s) of the album: Aaradugula, Ninnu Choodagane, Bapu gari bomma and the rest all for fans.

DSP and Pawan scored a hattrick. This songs are much better than DSP's last album. The trio DSP/PK and Trivikram worked out once again. Singers could have put more effort to make the songs even better. Ramajogayya Sastry has written almost every song except the intro song. He didnt deviate much from his multi-ligualism. At a stage where everyone is saturating and getting their tunes reused, this album is a relief. Though DSP all togather didnt provide all refreshing tunes, he was better than before. Even though Pawan's movies is all about himself, songs are just an appetizer for his hunger filled fans who never get tired to see him on screen and are waiting for him. All the best to the team.
