Tarak after Nannaku Premato is coming with a super combination, which raised the expectations beyond sky. The names associated to this project and the combination is what Tarak's fans are talking about. Their mind is set to nothing but super success as the result of the movie.

Koratala Siva after Srimanthudu reached to a new level as a director. Adding Mohanlal also added lot of weight to this project. Samantha has tweeted that this movie is 26th movie of Tarak and Samantha. This is another add-on factor to get a positive vibes for fans about the movie. Kajal Agarwal with her special appearance would definitely help the movie.

DSP worked earlier with Koratala Siva and Tarak, so nothing new about this combination. Ramajogayya Sastry gets chance to write all songs for this movie.

1. Pranaamam
Singer(s): Shankar Mahadevan
Lyrics: Ramajogayya Sastry

Its been a while that we heard Shankar Mahadevan. Probably he lost his space with so many singers out there. DSP made a good choice giving this song to Shankar instead of singing himself or giving to other hindi singers out there. Having said that Shankar sings effortlessly, but he should have taken little care when saying "Prabhata Suryuniki", "TaDi Meghalu", and many more phrases like this. Mainly when lyrics wants to take the lead, the singer should adher to that. As is the song composer. As said in music review of A Aa Ramajogayya Sastry garu needs to come up with more such songs, than his casual lyrics which takes him no where. Being a leading lyricists in the industry it would be nice to see more of such lyrics. This song would have been more pleasant if Shankar would have taken care of saying the words. In an interview the lead lyricist told they take utmost care so that the words are said right but the out put doesn't match the statement. Hope this gets better in future. 

2. Rock On Bro
Singer(s): Raghu Dixit
Lyrics: Ramajogayya Sastry

Rockstar DSP goes no wrong in these types of songs. This song again would have been better if for a different singer. His voice at places was strained and doesn't sound right, thats only limitation for serious music listeners, but lately thats not any issue. DSP keeps it simple but provides some twists here and there. RJS " Jeens pant Rushulu" is a different phrase applies to modern times. Ee dhanam and Indhanam is typical reused phrase. The beauty of the song is that it ends on a very pleasant note, even though it has issues in between due to various reasons. 

3.  Apple Beauty
Singer(s): Yazin Nizar, Neha Bhasin
Lyrics: Ramajogayya Sastry

DSP after providing two good songs, goes back to his routine stuff. Yazin and Neha did their job pretty well. They dont have much issues. RJS too is back to his routine stuff. Probably a song that was not demanded well by the makers. Apple Beauty and Newton Gravity, Cheekati linked to Edison Bulb, all these phrases are probably kind of easy stuff for RJS as the aim is to catch the attention of youth which he will do for sure. DSP doesnt do anything special in this song, let it go with his routine stuff.

4. Jayaho Janatha
Singer(s): Sukhwinder Singh, Vijay Prakash
Lyrics: Ramajogayya Sastry

Somehow Vijay Prakash reminds SPB at the start of the song. Probably the situation in the movie needed two singers, but one singer should have added more weight to the song. Felt even though Sukhwinder did decent , he diluted the intensity that was at the start of the song that Vijay Prakash had. Also Sukhwinder adds his extensions to the words doesn't fit well. This song gives some clues about the movie. This song has everything that should elevates the scenes in the movie. DSP did a good job in interludes and composing the song to make the song sound right. If this song comes in repeat mode in movie, then it will help a lot. 

5. Nee Selavadigi ( Short Bit )
Singer(s): Shweta Mohan
Lyrics: Ramajogayya Sastry

A short bit that is less than 2 minutes. A situational song. Shweta Mohan did well. Completely situational so nothing to say much about it. Seems like Pathos which DSP is very good at. 

6. Pakka Local
Singer(s): Geetha Madhuri, Sagar
Lyrics: Ramajogayya Sastry

Geeta Madhuri felt uncomfortable when she was saying kakinada and yanam. This song and in between the questions by Sagar and female singer continuing to sing is typical item song standard setup by DSP and he doesn't deviate by this by any means. Also when singer sings localu, that style is also unchanged. Some songs sounds fine, but here it didnt sound right. The lyrics are predictable as the focus is more on adding rhyming words, which is fine for these type of mass songs. The beats, pattern is beaten by DSP so this song goes so so. It was said that Kajal Agarwal would make a special appearance in the song, probably this is the one. If so whatever the song is the focus would be on screen visuals than the song itself. 

Pick(s) of the album:  Jayaho Janatha, Pranaamam, Rock on Bro.

DSP has been consistent these days with 40-50% of the songs that will stand out and he does routine to the rest. This movie is no exception. He had given 3 good songs and a bit song. So the percentage increases. beyond 50%, which should serve well for the movie. Definitely he is past due to deliver a 6 out 6 songs like he used to do during initial days. The lyrics and the words are heard better in this album which is good, also the singer's voice is not manipulated which is also good. Within the limitation of singers, this can be said as pretty decent album. Now its upto Mohanlal, Koratala Siva and Tarak to take the movie to the success level that his fans are eagerly waiting for.
