Dikkulu Choodaku Ramayya Audio Review

Movie: Dikkulu choodaku Ramayya ( దిక్కులు చూడకు రామయ్య )
Music: MM Keeravani
Director:  Trikoti
Producer(s): Sai Korrapati on Vaarahi Chalanachitram
Cast: Naga Shaurya, Ajay, Sana Maqbool

Dikkulu choodaku Ramayya is 5th film from Sai Korrapati as producer with his earlier movies Eega, Legend and Oohalu gusa gusa laade being hit. He is a producer who is known for lavish spending, yet making some sensible movies. Oohalu was example of that. This time he gives chance to Trikoti who was working with SS Rajamouli before and inspite of getting so many chances, those didnt convert to real happening. Trikoti as per Rajamouli is very talented and he himself often takes Koti's opinion for all his films. Glad to see such support from Filmi fraternity to Koti.

Keeravani supported this movie thru his music and the entire family was present at the audio release function. This movie offers 6 songs with Ananth Sriram penning 4 of them. Keeravani's father wrote one song and the other was written by Sharath.

Singers are pretty much standard from the team of Keeravani. Lets see how the songs fared.

01  Dintana  

Singer(s): Rahul Sipligunj

Lyrics: Ananth Sriram

The album starts with a off beat song from Keeravani sung by Rahul Sipligunj who is another singer part of standard team of Keeravani. The song adds the style of a tv show anchor who says words ending with "Andi". The audio release function too has the AV's created with his style of commentary. Ananth Sriram who wrote 4 songs in this album shows a glimpse of what he is going to offer further. Some fun filled lyrics added with latest technologies and happenings, added with the style makes this song different. Guess this is a situation song for probably on the hero. Keeravani should be commended to make a song with this style. 

02  Chembistri  

Singer(s): Revanth

Lyrics: Sharath Jyosthna

Another fun filled song. Not sure how many of current generation know what is Chembu Istree. Revanth is good fit for these songs, did well. Keeravani gave standard routine song make for a situation in the movie. This song could go well with visuals. "Wanna Love one beatiful Stree (woman), chesta vayasuki chembistri, what does it mean have to see only on screen I guess.

03  Telipothunnaa  

Singer(s): Ramya Behara

Lyrics: Ananth Sriram

Ramya behara has become part of Keeravani's team. She was apt. She emoted the expressions very well. But I guess her voice doesn't have the grandeur, but still she managed to sing it very well. She has quite a few pronunciation issues, when she says "rellu poola rekulaa" "Tella Doodi Pijalaa" and misses the stress on Rellu and Tella and some fake accent.. Yet, keeravani covers these issues with his magical tune and Ananth Sriram's good lyrics. Ananth Sriram is maintaining some standards and good to see him continue that. This song would have been elevated if singer gave a little bit more. The trailer showed some fantastic dances from female lead. And this being main song that got advertised will hit the right chords and will be good on screen too.

04  Anthe Premanthe  

Singer(s): KK Bhairava, Mohana

Lyrics: Ananth Sriram

It has been quite some days that we have listened to such a start. Keeravani proves, why he is, where he is. He announced retirement in coming years, as actor Nani said, he should reconsider for the sake of music lovers by doing a movie once a while to make us refreshing from the noise/sounds we are hearing in the name of music. After the start, this song slowly transforms to a different pace. This song has a lot of variety with classic touch. Bhairava and Mohana has done good. There are some tongue twisters/fast said words which were said well. Bhairava had sounded like Shankar Mahadevan at times, but that can be left at that place. This song has violin flashes which are good to hear. Song has very few issues unlike the other songs we are hearing these days. At the end of the song we feel it could have been for some more time. No worries, we can hear again.

05  Andari Rathalu  

Singer(s): Ramesh Vinayagam, Yamini

Lyrics: K.Shiva Datta

Keeravani's father Shiva Datta has written this song. Ramesh Vinayagam who sang the famous song in Khaleja along with karunya, sang this song. Keeravani garu should have taken care of not breaking "Pokada" as "Po" "kada" when said second time.  But that doesn't create any issues for this song. Keeravani's perfect trademark song. This is so well made, that gives the lyrics so much required strength. Its starts like Ninda/blame on Brahma but the song later on reveals the story. Keeravani lent his voice in between was so impressive and his stamp. The interlude Ramesh is best fit for the song. He adds so much required expression, flawless rendering is really great to listen. The alaap is rarely heard is these days in a song. Keeravani garu, thanks for you and your father for the song.

06  Dikkulu Chudaku Ramayya  

Singer(s): Kalpana

Lyrics: Ananth Sriram

Title song. Ananth Sriram did very well in this song. His choice of words are good. Kalpana rendered it very well. After all the song, it says interval. May be this song is used just before intervel to spice up a little bit. This song should be just perfect for the situation. 

Pick(s) of the Album: Telipotunna, Anthe Premanthe, Andari Raatalu

Trikoti proved that he is one tasteful director. The choice of technicians and the output always proves that.  The lyricist, music director choices were good and they delivered what it is required. Keeravani never disappoints in his albums and recently with the sound/noise, these songs are quite refreshing. With good names attached to this movie, this should do good. Wish Trikoti who struggled all the life finally got a chance on his own and hope the movie will be success too as the album.
