Raarandoi Veduka Chooddam Audio Review

Movie:            Raarandoi Veduka Chooddam ( రారండోయి వేడుక చూద్దాం )
Producer(s):   Akkineni Nagarjuna
Cast:              Akkineni Naga Chaitanya, Rakul Preet Singh 
Direction:        Kalyan Krishna Kurasala
Music:             Devi Sri Prasad


Naga Chaitanya is pairing up with Rakul preet for his latest offering "Raarandoi Veduka Chooddam". This movie is directed by Kalyan Krishna Kurasala who directed Nagarjuna earlier for his movie "Soggade Chinni Naayanaa". This movie has created enough buzz as Nagarjuna himself is producing on Annapurna Studios. Adding DSP to the music is also added to the movie.  DSP and Nag Chaitanya has earlier given blockbuster in their combination as 100% love. However that had Sukumar's factor as well. His other movie was Dhada, which was fine. This should be their third movie in combination. 

Rakulpreet plays a village girl called Brahmaramba. She boasted about this role and as usual saying how lucky she was to get this role. DSP gets support from RJS, Srimani who has major pie in the movie and Bhaskarabhatla limited to a mass song. Singers are pretty standard. Lets see how the third movie in combination worked for either of them.

1. Raarandoi Veduka Chuddam
Singers: Ranjith & Gopika Poornima
Lyrics: Ramajogayya Sastry


DSP starts the album with song that has good start to bring the mood for the occasion of marriage with some definition. RJS rehashes all the phrases related to two persons getting married to make up this song. Few phrases like "eppudo telisina chuttaalu, ippude kalisina snehitlu" , doesn't fit the description properly. He might be right technically as that phrase is concerned, but the imagination didn't appeal in the overall look of the song. Some how couldn't get in line with divilo kudirina dampatulu, then afterwards okati gaa cheseddam, aadeddam. Individually these phrases are fine, but overall something is missing to make it a good song. Singers too lacked clarity in saying words. Some phrases, as usual, the words which doesn't need elongation were elongated. Some words are tough to understand what they are singing. Ranjith and Gopika are senior singers its surprising to see that they forgot the basics in this song. Coming to the tune, DSP started off very well, but there after just played along the tune to make it simple. And he didnt get help from lyricist as well as singers. Overall a pretty song that would have been "Aakasam digivachi" type of song, but somehow falls flat instead of getting more appreciation from music lovers. Probably might work out better on screen with a good crowd bringing the mood of the song. 

2. Nee Vente Nenunte
Singers: Kapil & Shweta Mohan
Lyrics: Srimani


Seems like a routing template song from DSP. It doesn't appeal instantly due to this factor. Srimani getting major share in lyrics, stuck to ultra modern lyrics unlike his other face of talent. What is wrong with these singers.. Pranaale panchivvaalaa, is very simple word to say, why they complicate it?? These type songs that expresses love, there are infinite phrases to express. Srimani uses every other option that he gets in mind to fit in the song. Some work out very well, some are routine. Not sure whether the tempo is little bit faster than needed until second stanza. Shweta Mohan stanza lacks freshness in terms of tune. Probably why this doesn't appeal. 

3. Bhramaramba
Singer: Sagar
Lyrics: Srimani


Sagar gets a mandatory chance in DSP's movie albums, not sure why he doesn't sing anywhere else. Few songs fit his voice but many wont. Probably he sings better than many singers out there and for most of the types of songs like this, any voice is fine. The ending of each line is typical of DSP style, but it many times goes nasal. Not sure why DSP likes this style more as it is seen in many songs. The songs goes pretty ordinary and routine. Sagar too doesn't offer anything better or great. Srimani uses many verbs in English to make this song and those are mixed into this song. Chilling Nenu, flying nenu, Chatting nenu, walking nenu, setting nenu, drinking nenu, munching nenu, dating nenu song goes on like this. Once again nothing much to offer in terms of music. Another routine song, where Hero explains he is all for Bramaramba, Rakul's character in the movie. 

4. Break-Up
Singers: Simha & Dhanunjay
Lyrics: Bhaskara Batla


Simha is another ordinary singer who has many limitations while singing. One song that went popular is getting him opportunities, but his limitations are quite visible(audible) in many other songs he sings lately. This song is no exception. Yet another ordinary template song from DSP. Bhaskarabhatla's talent is wasted yet another time. Sorry state for him. Probably a situational song. A song made for video remains like that, meaning nothing much to offer without video. Singing of singers is also pretty ordinary. Lovers meet, breakup then finally become one. Pretty much Standard in every love story. How this story is told is what it makes different. To explain that Breakup is not sorry state its festival, lyricist came up with a new definition that gives each of the alphabet a festival name. Anyways one more for movie not for music. 

5. Thakita Thakajham
Singer: Javed Ali
Lyrics: Srimani


Normally DSP is very good at slow paced soft melodies and pathos. This song appears noisy somehow, missing the melody content. This is not typical DSP. He offered many such melodies, but not sure why this one doesn't stand along at the level of those melodies. Is it Javed Ali, Is it Srimani? or DSP himself, the magic is not just there at the level he created earlier. The squeezing/chirping type sound that accompanied all thru the song should have helped but guess didn't help the song even though its unique. DSP violins are his trademark, he does an outstanding job with them. We have seen this in many songs, this song too has something to offer. In-spite of expectations, the sing should be fine and should be embraced by the listeners.  Probably will grow slowly on repeated hearings.


6. Thakita Thakajham (Rock)
Singer: Javed Ali
Lyrics: Srimani


Rock version of the same song. This time the start is electrifying as it is rock version. Javed Ali sings the same way without much offering, so doesn't make much difference more over adds problems to the song with breaking words at his will. Srimani uses a good phrase saying "Kshanamu kenni rojulo naa pakkana unte nuvvilaa". These two versions leave a mixed feel as Srimani's some words are good, but Javed Ali kills them, then he sings well, but Srimani's words are not at the same level. The combination of three people somehow doesn't gel well to make it a great song.

Pick(s) of the album: Raarandoi Veduka Chuddam, Thakita Thakajham. 

DSP probably could have offered better. 2 songs in an album is by no means his standards. Talking about singers is of no use as there are no options these days. This movie has created enough buzz so hope this fares well.
