Emo Gurram Egaravachu - Audio Review

Movie: Emo Gurram Egaravachu ( 2014 ) - ఏమో గుర్రం ఎగురవచ్చు

Music: MM Keeravani

Director: Chandra Siddhartha

Producer(s): Pudhota Sudheer Kumar

Cast: Sumanth, Savika Chaiyadej

Sumanth's latest movie titled "Emo Gurram Egaravachu" is said to be a romantic comedy. He has been low at box-office after two below average movies Raaj and daggaraga dooramgaa. His latest movie is with sensible director Chandra Sidhartha ( Aa naluguru fame ) who earlier made a movie with Sumanth called Madhumasam which was a run away hit. Hope this combination brings in another hit to either of them. Sumanth is seen in a female getup which is been quite a while in Telugu movies. The female lead Pinky Chaiyadej is a Thai actress/singer/model.

This movies takes credit of release a telugu movie first time in Bangkok. MM keeravani composed music for this movie. No introduction is necessary for this name. He is not seen much these days, and its good to see his name again for a non family commercial movie. Chaitanya prasad got major share in lyrics and Keeravani helped writing the rest. Singers are from his standard team. Nothing good/bad surprises. Emo Gurram egaravachu is a phrase that is quite common in Andhra Pradesh. Having this as a title to movie shows what the director is about. Hope this movie made good songs, lets listen and see how they fared.

1. Neelavenini yedipinchina bullabbai

Lyricist : Chaithanya Prasad

Singer : Rahul Sipligunj

Typical Keeravani start of a song. Nice tune to start the album and a song after Vel signature tune. Song slowly picks up the rhythm and instruments add to the song. Interludes are perfect sync with the melody and sets up the mood of the song. Chaitanya Prasad wrote some decent lyrics. Keeravani known for best usage of violin does it again in interlude. However this song doesnt sound fresh, remind earlier songs of Keeravani. The only weakest link is Rahul. నువ్వు ఏడూ మల్లెల ఎత్తు అని ఇష్టం గా మొయ్యన, Keeravani should have taken care of not sounding as "నువ్వు ఏడూ" then the rest. Somehow this song though well made doesn't hit the right chord with listener. Appears something missing.

2. Bharatam pattina naatyam

Lyricist : Chaithanya Prasad

Singer : Rahul Sipligunj

Is this song with Sumanth in female getup? Rahul singing in different tones could be the reason.Another standard feel good song from Keeravani. He made it quite simple and yet got what he want. Chorus, instuments, singer, all helped him in the process. Chiaitanya Prasad didnt go overboard in writing this song, except for couple of words here and there which should be fine. This song should get help on screen. Overall a nice song that can be enjoyed.

3. Salahaalivvoddu

Lyricist : Chaithanya Prasad

Singer : Prudhivi Chandra

keeravani comes up with another signature tune added with satirical lyrics from Chaitanya prasad makes this song good to listen. Prudhivi Chandra did a decent job in singing this song. Bullabbayi ki salahaalivvodu sounds very good. The song has energy, satire and rhythm, added by good interludes, this song comes out from Keeravani's storage box to be well received. Chorus did really good.

4. Bull boy.. What's ur problem.?

Lyricist(s): Prudhivi Chandra, MM Keeravaani

Singer : Ramya Behara

Bullabbayi becomes Bull Boy?? Though the start of the song reminds many other songs, Ramya behara surprises us with her voice modulation. Then after though the tunes are nothing refreshing, she makes a clear mark. Her accent could be demanded by Keeravani. There are some issues in terms of the breaking up the words that sounds different, kattu baatlanni, sounds like cats bats. Ramya is the difference in the song else, it’s nothing much in terms of lyrics and tune.

5. Maid in India

Lyricist : Chaithanya Prasad

Singer : Ramya Behara

Ramya sounds so different in this song that is made up from different songs. Chaitanya Prasad who so far wrote some decent lyrics I guess ran out of imagination or words should have avoided writing some lines like వంగ దీసి గుద్దిన for other than nice song. This is the issue with current generation, they lack consistency. Keervani picked up nice tunes. Ramya again did an excellent job.

6. Bullabbaayini yedipinchina neelaveni

Lyricist : MM Keeravaani

Singer : Revanth

Revanth is always part of the team Keeravani has. He started off well in this extension song of pathos for the song #1 Neelaveni. He strained on higher notes, but other wise this rendering is good. He got the feel and energy. Violin again played major role. Not a standard length song, but Revanth did decent job.

7. Yennisaarlaina

Lyricist : MM Keeravaani

Singer(s) : Ramya Behara, Yamini

Seems like this movie entirely revolves around bullabbayi. Keeravani this time chose a different path to compose this song. Since he wrote and composed the song, both go hand in hand unlike other songs. Again one more short length song, but singers make it good to listen.

8. Boorela buttaloo padda gurram

Lyricist : MM Keeravaani

Singer(s) : Rahul Sipligunj, Prudhivi Chandra, Ramya Behara, Revanth, Yamini & more

Title song. Yemo gurram egaravachu is all that was in this song that is less than half a minute. By the time the song is felt this is complete. May be the signature tune of the movie. Whatever it is it sounded very well. Normally titles of the song are first two words of the song, quite interestingly the titles and songs are different. Definitely a good experiment of Chandra Sidhartha.

Pick{s} of the album: This is a feel good album. Every song has something to offer.

Keeravani lately has been limited to his family owned movies or devotional albums or some entirely different genres that others cannot offer music to those movies. His last major movie that doesnt fall into the above categories is Dammu. This shows how he has cut down movies or no one is offering him movies. This album is a nice feel good album which goes steady with few melodies and some interesting songs.

The only issue and impact that even this album has is that changing tunes are changing telugu words all togather. When music directors like Keeravani himself cannot avoid, this is very difficult for others. Chaitanya Prasad could have been more consistent. Ramya was a surprise. Other singers did decent job, but could have done better. Chandra Sidhartha once again proved why he is sensible director. All the best for the movie.
