Bhai (Telugu) - Audio Review

Movie: Bhai ( 2013 )
Music: Devi Sri Prasad

Director: Veerabhadram

Producer: Akkineni Nagarjuna

Cast: Akkineni Nagarjuna, Richa Gangopadhyay, Kamna Getmalani

Bhai is the latest offering from Nag. Nag is trying to portray different characters and he is pretty lucky to have such variety at this age and time of his career. This movie claims to have too many female actors adding a lot of weight to the movie. His movie is coming with lot of expectations. DSP who is roped in for the music department is on high with latest hatrick he scored with Powerstar. He got few movies to his kitty this year and has been working hard in Tollywood. Nag and DSP's combination was good in past and this movie raised the bar of expectations. RJS and Bhaskarabhatla in lyrics department shows that this album would be youthful mass entertainer. Did he provide another hit is what we need to see. Lets take a look at the songs.

01 – Bhai 
Singer(s):  Suchith Suresan
Lyricist:      Ramajogayya Sastry

RJS is perfect fit for this song. Bhai song has to be multilingual. Bhai and Playboy is it for rhyming the words or Nag character in movie is like that we have to wait. RJS tried hard to make sense in the song, but he cannot help himself much. "Mee Bratuke Bhasma" avunu Sir lyrics sangate bhasma mee chetilo. Mass and Class will never go away from songs these days even though they don't make much real/reel sense. DSP starts the song with tune being repetitive but adds some Arabic flavor in between. DSP's creativity is limited to that much in this song. Suchith Suresan just got nowhere with this song. He didn't do any good to the song by not providing any of his contribution. Since title song, Nag and picturization might help this song.

02 – Nemmadiga 
Singer(s):  Venu Srirangam, Swetha Mohan
Lyricist:       Ananta Sriram

Now its turn of Ananta Sriram. He had the entire song run with his Prayasa of Praasa. Maaku enduku Sir ee pechi. Please continue with your free style of writing. DSP made this song simple. Rhythm is beaten up. But not making much hungama of this song makes pleasant to hear. Ananta Sriram helps this song with his lyrics. DSP tune again sounds repetitive with nothing to mention in this song. Just keeping simple is the help DSP did for this song. Singers are so so. Nothing to say about them. May be a duet on lead pair. Nag troubled Female lead for not able to provide dance skills. Is it this song? May be not.

03 – O Pilla Pilla  
Singer(s):   David Simon, Rita
Lyricist:       Ramajogayya Sastry

RJS back again with another multilingual song this time a mass masala song. David Simon and Rita teared the song apart with their fake accent and unnecessary stylish singing. DSP Sir, please take care of this fake things in the song. This will not do any good. RJS Sir, why you are still stuck with Titanic Heroine? Since you write for youth, write some thing latest. This question to female lead that what you have eaten to be like that has been heard "n" number of times. I am not sure about the fetish lyricist has for this words. falling/bowling/roaming/perfuming/dating/nighting/waiting  RJS sir do you have any electronic dictionary handy. Do you pick words and write song around that? DSP provides another pretty ordinary song. Nothing much to say about it.

04 – Aibaaboi Nee Choopu 
Singer(s):  Tippu, Geetha Madhuri
Lyricist:      Bhaskarabhatla

Bhaskarabhatla did exactly what he is known for Mass songs. The choice of words are not very good. His songs day by day are going no where. May be he too is out of words and got saturated. Geeta Madhuri's voice hasn't matured as a singer. Still voice is childish. On top she has some accent which doesn't appeal much how much hard she does try to sing. DSP just did another routine job. Tippu doesn't have much to do in this song. Nag's movie so it should have a "king" word in the song. 

05 – Most Wanted 
Singer(s):   Narendra, Mamatha Mohandas
Lyricist:       Ramajogayya Sastry

Seems like an item song as it has "Item" in it. RJS  attached different words to make it an item song. Mamata Mohandas sang fine, but her Telugu doesn't suit the song. DSP who is famous for item songs, doesn't live upto the mark. He doesn't provide yet another great item song, he seems to be lost here. He tried to add different flavors but doesn't have any impact so leaves the song not making a mark. May be this will click on screen as this might provide some visual treat to viewers.

Pick(s) of the album: Nemmadigaa, Aibaboi Nee Choopu

It is said that Nag claimed that the songs of this album are better than Attarintiki Daaredi which are also composed by same music director DSP. By saying so Nag might have been either dreaming or he never heard Attarintiki Daaredi Songs. Though it is not relevant to this music album, RJS and SSThaman brought the Telugu songs to the lowest level. DSP with this album is going in the same path by being repetitive, not providing fresh tunes and variety. The songs are pretty ordinary. Singers didn't do much in the album. Lyricists charged producer for writing something that they called it a song. DSP definitely is out of inspiration or lacked demand to provide good songs. Now its time for director and actors to support the move as music has not given enough support.
