1. Bharat Ane Nenu (The Song Of Bharat)
Singer(s): David Simon
Lyrics: Ramajogayya Sastry

The Title song is the starting of the album. Ramajogayya wrote as usual some Tenglish lyrics. DSP composed a good tune, probably he should have kept it as theme music instead of a song. When the tune got translated to the song, it lost the intensity due to lack of good lyrics and singing. David Simon had too many issues singing this song. He didn't have the good feel/depth that is very much needed for this song. The tune really has a good intensity Unfortunately, the song doesn't have. Simon sounded having pretty much lack of energy. On the top he didn't say few words there by lost the heat. He sounded like singing a pathos. Ramajogayya could have written even more powerful lyrics that matches the rigor of the song. A powerful tune wasted by lyricist and singer. Could have been a lot better. 

2. I Dont Know
Singer(s): Farhan Akhtar
Lyrics: Ramajogayya Sastry

Farhan Akhtar is really a surprise element for this song. Not sure out of all the singers that are available DSP had to choose Farhan Akhtar. He is neither successful singer neither a popular singer. Not sure when Ramajogayya will stop writing these kind of not so notable lyrics. These kind of lyrics will never take him anywhere other than fetching him some money. Farhan sounds a lot like DSP. Its hard to believe that its Farhan sang the entire song. The style of singing is exactly same as DSP. Again the tune is youthful and peppy. DSP scores on the tune side, but looses again in this song on the other fronts of the song. The tune is entirely different and should go very well, except for the singing and lyrics. Farhan didnt show any difference other than sounding like DSP.

3. Vachaadayyo Saami
Singer(s): Kailash Kher,Divya Kumar
Lyrics: Ramajogayya Sastry

When a powerful character is defined by the writer, there has to be a song on the character saying how he can do lot of justice to people. They got to sing in praise of him. Not sure whether this song is for that kind of situation or not. Kailash Kher is noted to sing these type of songs. People are used already to his voice for these type of songs. The chorus accompanied nicely to the voice of Kailesh Kher. However Divya Kumar  was kind of turn off for this song. He kind of took the graph down after some one hearing the voice of Kailash Kher. His Telugu is not good either. Not sure why DSP roped in him in this song. Farmers and their dreams fulfilled by lead character. Something related to the situation in the movie. Yet another time DSP didn't fault on the tune, this time one singer could have been better. Good song, but leaves an incomplete feeling. RJS writes a situational lyric, but didnt add any depth of thoughts. So the lyrics doesnt bring in any factor, but never know, this song might get some recognition than expected. 

4. Ide Kalala Vunnadhe
Singer(s): Andrea Jeremiah
Lyrics: Ramajogayya Sastry

DSP I guess this time took routine route, and made this song effortlessly. Andrea renders the song as demanded so there are no surprises. RJS too took a routine route like everyone. This song probably in movie too will be used to give lead female some space which the trailer doesn't show any. A routine song.. 

5. O Vasumathi
Singer(s): Yazin Nizar,Rita
Lyrics: Ramajogayya Sastry

Yazin Nizar who shot to fame with his song in Kumari 21F of DSP, gets a chance to sing this song. He does fine. He brings in what is required for the song without any issues. Rita who again is standard singer of DSP, too does fine. Earlier song was by female lead, this one by both, trying to get along together. DSP composes the tune that has rap in between which is nothing by Prasa kosam yasa by RJS. Overall a decent song with good rendition and catchy tune.

Pick(s) of the album: Vachadayyo Saami, O Vasumati, Bharat Ane Nenu ( probably )

DSP has been grabbing all grand projects and proving that there is no one on par with him when coming to deliver for major projects. There is a reason for that and he maintains that for most of the movies. He is always close to many directors that he understands the requirements of what the story tellers might want. Probably this is the success mantra of him. Directors like Sukumar who feel DSP is soul of him, when comes to music, probably their combination proves it. Koratala Siva and DSP have been successful in their combination until now and this one might not be as good as their earlier combinations when heard separately from movie, but for sure DSP/Koratala might be on same page meeting each others requirements. I have been telling for so long, that Telugu Film Music Industry needs good singers who can sing in Telugu very well. Many albums like these are clear indications of that requirement. And on top the music directors in the name of new sounding, are going behind some not so famous or really not required singers to make them sing the songs. This is totally unwarranted. Hope the movie makers make some good Telugu Sounding Songs, as this is Telugu Film Industry. Even Lyricists once in a while if they write some thoughtful songs in Telugu, some will take notice of them. Else its just run of mill..
