Producer(s):Shirish, Dil Raju (Presents)
Cast: Sai Dharam Tej, Raasi Khanna
Direction: Anil Ravipudi
Music: Sai Kartheek
Anil Ravipudi is riding high with his super successful movie Pataas as is Sai Dharam Tej with Subrahmanyam for Sale. With two persons who tasted success of their life combining togather with ace producer Dil Raju, the expectations are very high. Dil Raju known for getting the pulse of audience right, seems like his timing is right this time with getting the combination right.
Its fourth movie of Sai Dharam Tej and 2nd of Anil Ravipudi as director, even though he worked earlier as writer. Sai Kartheek has earlier working with Anil for Pataas, so working with him again is no surprise. Sai kartheek has been working for handful of small films ervy year and is trying to make it big. Working with Dil Raju and getting success would be all his aim for this movie. Need to see how far he succeeded.
Ramajogaiah Sastry gets major pie in lyrics and this movie gets the remix of Supreme Hero's famous song "Andam Hindolam". Mega heros have been doing one remix of or other songs in their movies and Sai Dharam Tej, chooses this one as he is tagged as Supreme star. Lets go into reviewing the songs.
1. Taxi Vaala
Lyrics : Shyamm Kasarlla
Singer(s): Jaspreet Jasz, Divija Kartheek
A pretty routine song done in the lines of latest trends of music that goes with standard template beats and interludes which will remind us many other songs. This song is energetic for sure, with some catchy words that revolve around "waala". The issue with this song is that it is with the heard somewhere type. Full out and out mass song composed in Thaman's style. Wrong choice of song to start the album. Singers doesn't have much to do in this song. They just did what they can do. Probably an on screen song.
2. Anjaneyudu Neevadu
Lyrics: Ramajogaiah Sastry
Singer(s): Karthik, Sooraj Santosh, Deepthi Parthasarathy
Karthik's start of this song is so pleasant to hear. Karthik shows why he is a different in the league. Unless movie feature two persons, I would have let Karthik sing the entire song instead of sharing with Sooraj. This song should have been starting of the album it would created a greater impression of the album. This song is done very well and partial credit goes to Karthik. Felt Deepthi was off at couple of places, could have done better. This song is after a long time refreshing and pleasant to hear with simple beats and interludes. Anjaneyudu is synonym for strength and is well used in this song. This song stands tall in songs composed so far by Sai kartheek in his career. Any song about Chiranjeevi that feature Mega hero. there has to be mention of Chiru. Ramajogiah has a special skill to elevate few characterstics of Gods and present it, be it Hanuma or Ganesha.
3. Bellam Sridevi
Lyrics: Ramajogaiah Sastry
Singer: Sai Charan
Back to routine with this song. One more complete mass song. Somehow songs these days end with "Ye" to add a new style to the songs. Bellam Sridevi...Naa pellam Sridevi...Oppukove Sridevi...Ontarodne Sridevi...Yes anave Sridevi...Ettukeltha Sridevi, Yes its all about Sridevi. One more song added to the auto tuner here and there. This song is pacy, catchy, and maasy. Saicharan even though lacks the power in voice he made it. There is a popular short film in youtube to the name of "Sridevi", I thought RJS inspired by this for his lyric, but I guess its not as per the bit that was released. The female lead is police as mentioned in the song. This song should suit the tapori attitude of Sai Dharam tej. Should work well on screen too if placement of the song in the movie works very well.
4. Chalo Chalo
Lyrics: Ramajogaiah Sastry
Singer: Krishna Chaithanya
This song goes so so from the start. I thought the tempo is little bit faster than required for this song so doesn't sound pleasant to hear. It might be done for some purpose which the audio doesn't tell. The words are said in tune with some instruments and chorus added to it making it to a song. Another song with autotuner effects here and there. Not sure what is the background for this song in the movie, but this doesnt go anywhere probably a break time in the album before the big remix.
5. Andam Hindolam - Remix
Original Music Directors: Raj - Koti
Remix By: Sai Kartheek
Lyrics: Veturi
Singer(s): Revanth, Chithra
This song was super duper hit that it was heard innumerous times and probably watched too. Chitra in this song is definitely plus to the song, but Revanth clearly tells the difference that he is no where compared to Legend SPB sir. He lacks the energy/power that SPB had in the voice, SPB had given many incredible effects in the song that elevated it to a different level. The good thing about this remix is that this doesn't destroy original like the remix of "Subhaleka Rasukunna". that ruined the feel of original. This remix keeps everything intact except for SPB. Revanth got exploited for all his short comings as a singer with this song. But within his limitations, he tried his best. Sai kartheek has to be commended for keeping the original flavor intact and reminding the original, which is all he needed to do and he does that. Veturi garu tells what a writer can to do any song. If we listen to all the rest of the songs in this album and this song, one can clearly understand where we stand as far as lyrical standards are concerned of Telugu Film Industry.
Pick(s) of the album: Anjaneyudy Neevadu, Bellam Sridevi, Andam Hindolam ( for reminding the yesteryear's classic)
Sai Kartheek is getting more offers lately probably right time to fill the gap that Telugu Film Music Industry badly needs the void to be filled in. Things are not looking very promising with songs and music lately and the young music directors should use this opportunity rightly by being consistent and provide good music. Sai Karthik seems to be successful with this album providing 2 better songs, 2 routing songs and one non-tampered remix. Sai Dharam Tej after getting success is aiming high and with album helping him, he should go for more on screen. Wish the team all the very best.
