Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum is an upcoming bilingual film directed by Krish made simultaneously in Telugu and Tamil languages. Rana Daggubati and Nayantara paired in the lead roles. Mani Sharma has composed the music for the film. The film has been named Ongaram in Tamil. Krish made his debut in Tamil thru his film Vaanam which was remake of Vedam, However its debut film for Rana in Tamil, who is yet to establish. This film is is produced by Jagarlamudi Sai Babu under First Frame Entertainments banner. Rana potrays as a theatre artist, while Nayan plays a document filmmaker in this action adventure.
Kirsh as a director is in a different league of film making. He is known for sensible film making. Though he doesnt have a phenomenal musical hits, but his association with Sirivennela won an award to the song "entavaraku" from Gamyam. Expectations are again when Sirivennela has couple of songs, there should be some great work as team.
Manisharma who was criticized for his earlier movie, had to prove with this movie. Else he who is already written off, will have more trouble. He had a long gap doing movies and with last movie, things had put him in trouble. There is anxiety build up how he did in this movie.
The lyricists, singers, number of songs, title of the song at first glance gives a positive feeling towards the album. Lets see how the album goes.
Narendra is a new kid
on the block figured in Manisharma's earlier movie CGTR, there he was more of
one amongst the group. Here he got a song for himself accompanied by Shravana
Bhargavi. For a moment he sounded like Pawan Kalyan to think whether its a
Pawan's movie. However he is having a unique voice, did sound odd at times, but
he takes us thru the song and make us to sing along with him. Manisharma
infuses his magic touch to make this song hummable Song has the required
energy and Lyrics are cool and simple. Sirivennela never amuses whether its a routine duet song, or song with impact. He leaves his trade mark. Praasa kosam prayaasa padakunda, meaningful lyrics makes one to listen this song with interest.
Lyricist: ES. Murthy
Manisharma is back to business with this song. Comes up with an energetic tune. Having Kannada words and Shreya ghosal singing them perfectly matches leaves us less annoyed. Though a recycled tune, the variations Mani brought in keeps us tapping foot to the beat. Shreya helps this song with her song. Rahul provides a good combination with Shreya. He dominates song whenever he sings in this song. Overall a nice presentation by Mani and singers. ES Murthy's lyrics ( Music director ) are decent matches the mood of the song.
3. Jaruguthunnaadi (Title Song)
Artist(s): SP. Balasubramaniam
Lyricist: Sirivennela Seetharama Sastry
When SPB, Sirivennela are together its a treasure that we need to preserve as it has become rare combination now a days. A song that runs more than seven minutes 7:12), Sirivennela and SPB involved, its a treasure beyond definition for Telugu lovers. And this song proves why they are what they are today.
Manisharma did his best and provides justice to what he was signed up for. He tunes to the lyrics and brings in the meaning thru his tune which is a commendable job by itself. There is intensity in the music and singing. The chorus appears as a little loud and lack of clarity of what they said, a little concentration is required. The way Manisharma changed the tune for each avatar represents the character of avatar is something notable contribution from Manisharma.
Vishnu avatars are the benchmark characters that existed in the world, why did they exist is a question that not many in the world understands. Vishnu avatars are told by many in many ways. Lord Krishna who is the Jagadguru, however all this world is a his drama and played by none other than Him, All the characters are portrayed by himself at times of the drama he owns and plays, explaining why he portrayed those characters is something is extremely impossible by anyone. The way Sirivennela told this purpose and meaning of avatars leaves goosebumps to everyone. Lord Krishna showed Viswaroopam to Arjuna, however director Krish shows us the Viswaroopam of SeetaRama ( Sastry ) , as Rama is another form of Krishna. The way words flows thru the song is simply fantastic to hear. Go play this song in continuous play mode to hear new experience each time you hear.
SPB, I don't think other than this name, would have done justice to this song. Only he can match the intensity that is provided in this song. Saying anything about him is trying to explain what we don't see, explaining power of Sun closing our eyes.
When Sirivennela wrote, telavaarademo saami in Swati kiranam, he didn't get any award as it seems the judges thought it was written by Annamayya, I doubt the same will happen this time too, if he doesn't get any award. This song inspires everyone in many ways. I hope I can make an attempt to add more details for this song in song of the week.
The power of Telugu is written all over this song. One song like this per year will for sure keep Telugu alive, else not sure where the language is headed to..
Hats off to the team, Krish, Sirivennela, Manisharma, SPB and others who involved in this song - Take a bow.

Artist(s): Hemachandra, Sravana Bhargavi
Lyricist: Sirivennela Seetharama Sastry
After listening to title song, getting into this song will be difficult, Such was the impact created by the team in that song. It will take a while to get into this song after listening multiple times the earlier song. This song is a routine song from Manisharma, there is no complaints about this song as it goes simple and smooth. A typical current times song. Singers did a routine job.
5. Rangamarthanda
Artist(s): Hemachandra, Raghu, Sai
Lyricist: B. Sai Madhav
Raghubabu is a suprise element in this song, we have seen character actors lending voice, but Raghu is clearly another winner. The other singer sounded like Chinna, Hemachandra brought some difference as a professional singer. But there wasnt much noticeable difference. All sounded good. But పరబ్రహ్మ which was sung as పారా బ్రహ్మా is not acceptable. Hope they can change later in movie. The reference to another song in interludes could be situational. Definetely an enjoyable song could be the same onscreen too.
6. Chal Chal Chal
Artist(s): Joanna Sirlin
Lyricist: B. Sai Madhav
Not sure why Manisharma chose an inspired tune to compose this song. Another situational song. Song doesnt have any issues as such as it goes with the flow of the lyrics. The way song goes is exactly the way people want. Satirical song explaining how the world goes, ladayi, suvvai are kind of words are just to for rhythm. Not much to say about this song.
After listening to Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum ( Jarugutunnadi jagannaatakam) song, there are couple of things that comes into everyone's mind, After Veturi, there is Sirivennela, After Sirivennela its who?? Same thing with SPB, After Ghantasala its SPB, After SPB its who ?? we don't have answers. Hope we do...
A humble request to Sirivennela to Keep writing as long as we are alive.

7. Theme Music
The title song and theme music creates an interest on how these two would have been picturized in the movie. These two needs great visual thinking by the director. Krish has created some curiosity in people by introducing this into the movie. Hope the picturization would be realistic.
Pick(s) of the Album: Jarugutunnadi, Pasi manasa, Sye Andre Naanu, Rangamaarthanda
Manisharma has clearly proven to people that it was not his fault for the debacle of his earlier movie. The way he geared up to the demand was phenomenal. Though he did sound routine in couple of songs, he compensated with the others. Overall a decent job by Manisharma by providing an answer to the criticism. Hope he continues and stays in the industry where at one point he was quickly written off for some sub-standard music directors.
A humble request to Sirivennela to Keep writing as long as we are alive.
