Music: Chakri
Music: Chakri
Director: Vamsy
Producer(s): Poorna Naidu Productions, Shreeyas Chitra
Cast: Ajmal, Nikita Narayanan
Director Vamsy has a unique place in history of Telugu Film. His movies have cult following and is worshiped by many Telugu film lovers, actors and Telugu film fraternity. His unique way of story telling, picturization has made a special place in history of Telugu film making. Not only his special way of writing screen play, the music in his movies have created wonders.
His association with Maestro Ilayaraja has produced some gems of songs. Their combination is one of the best director-music director association in the history of cinema. They have som much deep understanding that we hear many stories about that. However, after series of wonderful movies, he took a break and started his second innings with "Avunu Valliddaru Ishtapaddaru" This movie not only recreated his magic, but found chakri who gave the music that was compared to Vamsy's style of music. This movie went on to become a huge hit and Vamsy gave few more movies, but could never reach the standards once he set for himself. He tried music with Ilayaraja with Anumanaspadam, but there after stuck with Chakri for most of his other movies since his comeback.
What makes Vamsy movies so special is all can be understood when we hear music in his earlier moveis. Just closing eyes and listening to couple lines of any song, one can easily tell that it is from one of Vamsy's movies. That's the impact he created on audience. That is the power of Vamsy. His movie always had outstanding for music, lyrics and quality. However as time goes and things started subsiding, yet each time his movie is released, his fans has some hope to get back to the olden memories at least in the name of the new movie.
This movie marks as 25th movie in his more than 3 decades of film career. Also this marks as 100th movie of Chakri.
Praveen Lakms who has earlier written couple of songs for Vamsy's Saradaaga kasepu, got chance to write entire songs for this movie. This movie has 5 songs and one being second version of other song. Lets see how the songs are without any late.
01 – Tholi Choopuke Ne Padipoya
Singer(s): Karthik, Kousalya
Lyrics: Praveen Lakma
Karthik and Kousalya start a standard template song of Vamsy's style. This tune is beaten tune. Kousalya strangely during the start itself had to struggle a bit. The chorus, interludes are derived from standard template. Karthik surprisingly sounded dull. Praveen's lyrics are decent. This song will heavily depend on Vamsy's picturization. This will help the speciality that Vamsy has for picturizing the songs. Felt like that this song basically missed the soul and energy.
02 – My Dear (Version1)
Singer(s): Sudhamayi
Lyrics: Praveen Lakma
Another Vamsy template song from Chakri. Sudhamayi's vocal is added with some special effects. My dear raa, the ending raa is Vamsy's typical style which will help him add his gimmicks in the songs. Praveen has met the standards of Vamsy's songs. He did decent job again. Chakri tried to provide some variations in interludes for otherwise standard song. This song will grow on listeners once movie is released. This song has nothing special to offer but doesn't disappoint. Chakri could have let singer's natural voice to be listened.
03 – Subhame Sumame
Singer(s): Karthik, Kousalya
Lyrics: Praveen Lakma
Karthik and Kousalya once again paired up for a rehashed song. Chakri absolutely doesn't have anything to offer other than wrapping up in new cover and presenting to listeners so that it appears new. Praveen again did a decent job. Karthik and Kousalya again are not upto the mark. They could have done better. Vamsy's help is again needed here.
04 – You Are My Love
Singer(s): Krishna Chaitanya, Sudeeksha
Lyrics: Praveen Lakma
Chakri offered something different in this song, Not Vamsy's style but this song will help with different set of audience. The young neice of Chakri, Sudeeksha has sung this song. The immature voice is obvious from her age, but singing wise she doesn't have any issues. She with krishna Chaitanya have done a decent job. This song is made different, the trailer shows the female lead is all covered up which marks specialty of Vamsy. This song is catcy, foot tapping, stylish and different. Praveen wore a different cap writing this song.
05 – Nuvvevaro Nenevaro
Singer(s): Kousalya
Lyrics: Praveen Lakma
This song could be situation based. Has nothing special in this song. Chakri added different things including gangnam style, techno style music, but doesn't help the song. Many things are is lacking in this song. Didnt sound good at all. can easily skip this song.
06 – My Dear (Version 2)
Singer(s): Kousalya
Lyrics: Praveen Lakma
Different version of initial song #2, My dear. Kousalya always had special place in Chakri's album by getting major share in the album. Getting that opportunity doesnt help her or the album. She misses energy, power, makes things very simple thus not helping the song much. The problems in original version exists in this song too..
Pick(s) of the album: Tholi Choopuke, You are my love.
This album proves the declining path of music in Vamsy's movies. Chakri couldn't recreate the magic. Singers didn't help Vamsy. Clearly the soul of Vamsy's music is missing from this album. Chakri guess remains as initial wonder who surprised everyone, but over the period of the time he could not sustain. This album for Vamsy's fans will be a huge disappointment, but give the latest times where in general music is on the downtrend, this doesn't come as surprise. Vamsy Sir, we miss your music, but you have given enough for the life, so we will happily live with that, is what his fans feel listening to this album. Now it all depends upon how Vamsy makes this movie whether he still has the magic or not, whether movie becomes huge success or not, time will tell. All the best Vamsy Sir..
