Sarainodu Audio Review

Movie: Sarainodu ( సరైనోడు )
Producer(s):Allu Aravind
Cast: Allu Arjun, Sreekanth, Rakul Preet Singh, Catherine Tresa
Direction: Boyapati Srinu
Music: SS Thaman


Bunny ( Allu Arjun ) is on high growing out of Mega shades and giving his own hits in the form of S/O Satyamurty, Racegurram. These two movies performed good at box office collecting more than Rupees 50 crores each. He chose to make a movie with Mass director Boyapati Srinu. This movie is produced by Allu Aravind under Geetha Arts banner. The movie features Allu Arjun, Rakul Preet Singh and Catherine Tresa in the lead roles while Srikanth appears in a supporting role. SS. Thaman composed music for this movie. Both Allu Arjun and Thaman scored hit in term of Racegurram. They are hoping to score another hit.

Thaman scored 6 songs in this movie, one was released before and today all the songs were officially released online, probably since mega family were busy with the marriage. RJS wrote 3 songs, which tells that this is going to be a mass album. Ananth Sriram, Srimani and KC wrote one song each. Srimani these days gets to write title songs, but not in this movie. Lets see whether Bunny and Thaman repeated their magic.

1. Athiloka Sundari  
Lyrics: Ramajogayya Sastry
Singer(s): Vishal Dadlani, Karthik

A good start to the song and the album, but unfortunately, Vishal Dadlani literally killed the song. Thaman is as usual repetitive. The only good thing in the song is the starting and interludes. The song does not sound different as the loops are beaten. Vishal's voice is different so song sounds different. Thaman is good in giving different sounds, but the chorus is also heard many times in many songs. Thaman's unique style doesn't change Any song the same style. Ramajogayya Sastry's lyrics are wasted. Didnt hear Karthik even distinctly. Not sure where he is hidden. Many issues like Tolli choopu instead of Toli Choopu, have to be ignored and people have already got used to these issues now a days. There are places where Thaman did a good job, but singer messed up the song bit time. This song is strictly for Thaman fans.


2. You Are My MLA  
Lyrics: Ananth Sriram
Singer(s): Dhanunjay

Oh boy typical Thaman start. The chorus doesn't change. Thaman doesn't deviate in singer 's singing style. Dhanunjay sings as pathos. There is no energy, the echo to singer also doesn't bring any good effect to the song. A big disconnect between the instruments, singing, singer and beats. Everything goes in their own track. It could have been better song if all went hand in hand. There are some good moments in the song that sounds as good melody, but many times it appears as heard before takes away the beautifullness from the song. This song could have been lot better, but something Thaman chose it to be pretty ordinary.


3. Private Party  
Lyrics: Krishna Chaitanya
Singer(s): Manasi M.M, M.C. Vickey

Start of the song is heard many times. Thats fine. This song is perfect song that youth/part goers will embrace. This song has all words that they go crazy about. Manasi has done their job as needed compared to Vickey. Vickey could have done a little better. Thaman is good in these type of songs, so doesn't have to take too much effort in making the song. Sometimes Thaman keeps audience brain busy in guessing which song it resembles. But I guess this time its not too hard. But that doesn't keep this song to rock. This will easily be on the charts in coming few weeks.


4. Blockbuster
Lyrics: Ramajogayya Sastry
Singer(s): Shreya Ghoshal, Nakash Aziz, Simha, Sri Krishna, Deepu

Thaman keeps reminding us with his template beats. This song lists so many singers for a complete out and out mass song. Saying Blockbuster doesn't appeal. Simha and Shreya's voices are more audible than the rest. Felt that the song at many places lacks enough energy, however the beats covers it up. This song when released as teaser, there were many hits and it was blockbuster for the dance steps of Allu Arjun. This also showed that Srikanth also acted in the movie. 

5. Telusaa Telusaa  
Lyrics: Sri Mani
Singer(s): Jubin Nautiyal, Sameera Bharadwaj

Thaman finally decides to give a melody. A very slow soft song. The song goes so beautifully until chorus and Jubin Nautiyal comes and messes up. Not sure whether Thaman or any movie makers listened to this song before releasing to audience? If they had better music sense, how would they allow some salt in the song which was going until then as milk? Srimani excels with simple lyrics. Except for the male singer this song would top the album. I wish there could be some automatic mute when male singer sings his part in this song or replace it with some instrumentation. Anyways Thaman ruined a beautiful song  and I hate when someone does that to such a beautiful song. Even though appears its a mix of some of his old songs, that doesn't bother much compared to the male singer ruining the song.


6. Sarainodu
Lyrics: Ramajogayya Sastry

Singer(s): Hard Kaur, Sonu Kakkar, Brijesh Shandilya

Thaman has a typical song making style which has few characteristics. The start of the song, the beats. the singers style of singing and the way words are broken to the tune. This is his identity and he doesn't deviate from this style of making. Unless he changes this, every song sounds same. He might add new sounds and instruments to each song. when overall texture is same, the flavor appears the same. This could be due to two reasons, one movie makers asking for it or his capacity is limited. Ramajogayya Sastry, is all about youthful, catchy, trendy words in multiple languages. This song is no different and perfectly syncs with the tune. Singers are pretty ordinary in this song has done nothing great other than giving what song demands. Except for lack of freshness this song seems to be fine without much issues.

Pick(s) of the album:  Sarainodu, Blockbuster - Telusa Telusa ( if male voice can be avoided )  

Thaman provides a mix bag of songs. he ruined two songs with poor choice of singers or making them sing differently. Couple of songs sounded repetitive, but those song are fine overall. And the rest could have been better. This album for sure will not be instant hit, but will take time to grow with the mix he provided. Allu Arjun has to stepup for couple of songs, which we have seen he already did so he should be fine, so are his fans and Thaman fans who like the sounds than the overall song and its issues, will embrace this album.
