Direction: Tharun Bhascker Dhaassyam
Music: Vivek Sagar
Due to various reasons I have missed writing reviews for few albums, even though I wanted, time didn't permit to write in timely manner. This album is one of them. I will the movie part as the movie is already released, will go directly to the songs.
1. Song: Ee Babu Gariki
Singer(s): Suraj Santosh
Lyrics: Rahul Ramakrishna
Retro made contemporary is probably right phrase for this song. This song instantly catches one who listens. So refreshing to hear this song. There were few songs made this style but this song stands out due to various reasons. This song since made on the lead, his life style perfectly matches everything. Some witty situations, words makes this song unique. Suraj did perfect justice to the song. Here and there some elaborations might not be the right ones when compared with the word, but that quickly fuses out. The interludes are perfect as the start. After pallavi, the silence too was perfectly set. Tharali instead of tarali, gaaradanta at some places could have been better. Anyways Vivek Sagar perfectly starts the album not only its unique, but catchy too..Well done.
2. Song: Chinuku Taake
Singer(s): Amritavarshini KC
Lyrics: Shreshta
A decent melody by Vivek Sagar. The flute sets the tone of the rest of the song. Amrutavarshini's voice is good. Shreshta writes a perfect love song. The background music volume could have been low as at time seems like it dominated the singer. The interludes are perfect. The charanams are well made too. A beautiful melody to sum up to describe this song. Vivek has made another good song, two in a row is very good for the 2nd time film music maker. Overall its a good listen.
3. Song: Raalu Raaga Poolamala
Singer(s): Shri and Wilson Herald
Lyrics: Shri and Rahul Ramakrishna
When an old van is made contemporary with all modifications, this song perfectly resembles the scenario. Using Ghantasala similar sounding voice and then the mix of the contemporary types of tunes, things cannot get any better. People might go and search whether this song exists and was remix of old Ghantasala song, people will fail to find I guess. The singer should be commendable. And Vivek should be too for making some symbolic to the situation. The mix of various styles has become a good blend which people can enjoy. The rhythm was in sync with the voice and the chorus behind is also mixed very well. Again another well made unique song which sound refreshing and surprising for the voice.
4. Song: Merise Merise
Singer(s): Haricharan and Pranavi Acharya
Lyrics: Shreshta
This song again is made in different style. Vivek might have some influence on the style of making this song, but it just stops there. He presents very well. but female singer should have done better. She seems to be struggling at some places. Probably not her comfort zone. Haricharan does fine except for Kasurutu kadile kaalam but he compensates with the words after. When they both sing together, they are just fine. Vivek once again provides a song that is pleasant and enjoyable.
5. Song: Aanandamayenu
Violin: Tejas Mallela
Singer(s): Ranjani Sivakumar
A small bit song, that lasts over a minute. Ranjani does just fine. Violin is also good. This song perfectly syncs the situation. Made in classical style everything just works out fine.
6. Song: Spitfire Friends
Singer(s): Nikhil Bharadwaj
Lyrics: Nikhil Bharadwaj
After making different songs, Vivek sticks to Rap, and he does well this one too.Non stop Telugu words sounds different. Nikhil Challagunda.. Videos on youtube are available with lyrics for song but I guess they couldnt get the Telugu words as they had only English words. That much pace this song had. Rap lovers will love this song for sure.
Pick(s) of the Album: Entire album.
Vivek Sagar I guess this is second album and he provides so much refreshing and unique songs that he should make it pressing to get more chances. Unfortunate that repeated tune providers are getting chance than music directors like Vivek who did lot better those ones. Vivek for sure has confirmed that given a chance he is here to stay. Hope he stays. This albums is a lot better in the time this was released and helped the movie a lot. Hope a bright future ahead for Vivek.
