Temper Audio Review

Movie: Temper (టెంపర్ )
Music: Anup Rubens
Director:  Puri Jagannadh
Producer(s): Bandla Ganesh ( Parameswara Art Creations)
Cast: Tarak, Kajal

Puri Jagannadh boasted that a new person from Nandamuri family will be getting introduced with this movie which he named as "Temper". Tarak getting into combination after 11 years with Puri Jagannadh was taken as big surprise by his fans as Puri Jagannadh was running low at box office. Lately. his movies were not getting connected to the movie goers. However the trailers and the movie bits released so far for sure showed a different Tarak all togather. Also the energy in the dances were back raising huge hopes for the fans. With his brother delivering hit in the form of "Pataas", this movie is creating lot of buzz before getting released. Tarak speech during audio release also seems like he has realized what he is missing till now. Hope this turns positive and what he has lost will get back to him.

This is second film with Puri and third film with Kajal for Tarak. With Kajal he has a good track record but with former he doesnt. Fans were very unhappy when the first movie with Puri released and no wonder it took so long for another movie with him. Bandla Ganesh after producing Baadshah is actually only person very high with all the hits he bagged until now. Puri Jagannadh known for working only on his story and script, first time went outside with recommendation of Tarak to work with Vakkantam Vamsy. After finalizing the story, there was a team who worked on the script that went on the floor. Hope this was a good step by Tarak.

Regarding music, it was DSP who was initially signed up for this movie, but however with Anup zooming high lately with many hits is the one who replaced DSP. However Manisharma has got chance to do the BGM. Whether this is a right move or not the audio will tell us after listening to it. Trailers show energetic Tarak, so the music has to be energetic. 

There are 5 songs with a theme music in the album. Viswa, Bhaskarabhatla and Kandikonda prove that the lyrics are going to mass types. Nothing to be noted on the lyrics department. Singers are too many in this album that more than a dozen singers are listed, including a surprise element in the name of Puri himself. Whether he is heard or lost in sound or voice manipulation will know when we get to the song. 

Lets see whether Anup helped to the movie or he made to think whether it could have been DSP better choice.

1. Choolenge Aasma 

Lyrics:    Viswa

Singer(s): Adnan Sami, Ramya Behara, Veena Ghantasala

All these latest music directors start well but once the start bit is complete they all sound same. Anup for a second has started song with a good guitar bit, but Adnan voice ruined it. The start and the rest of the song has no correlation. Anup should have limited Adnan to sing Hindi words only, and could have asked female singers to sing the rest. However female singers voice is shriek, didn't match the song. Supposed to be a melody but missed the pleasantness. Lyrics wise this is only better compared to the rest. This song technically will not appeal the music fans out their, but it will grow over the period to the rest. 

2. Temper

Lyrics:   Bhaskarabhatla

Singer(s):   Rahul (Rap) Uma Neha, M. L. R. Karthikeyan, Bhargavi Pillai, Simha

Tamper is different to Temper. I thought I heard Tamper/Pamper and what not in the initial start of the song. Doesn't matter we are tampered any ways. Nandamuri songs should list the family members in movie, but in the song too? Not sure what were Puri/Bhaskarbhatla thinking. Sometimes family names sound little odd mainly in a song. Taata, Annayya, Babayi, Ayya and Tarak everyone has temper is what the song ultimately conveys to us. Rest of the song is crap from Bhaskarbhatla, He picked few words and gave it to Anup and he made a song of it which doesnt appeal anyone, except for Tarak fans who watch out for some dance movements. The song sounds beaten, nothing new to tell about or special to look for. Just watch for the song one the screen. Music and lyrics wise nothing to mention at all.

3. Devudaa

Lyrics:   Bhaskarabhatla

Singer(s):  Anoop Rubens, Puri Jagannadh

This song not sure what is the situation, but definitely not for Nandamuri hero. The lyrics show the lead actor in a low situation, which doesn't sound right for the hero. But thats what makes Puri special. Anup composed the song with latest trend in music. Tweaking the voice, high pitch. Lately all heros are multi lingual. Without Hindi, I guess they cant talk/sing. Where is Puri's voice in this song is a big question mark. Puri's trademark words are everywhere. I guess it would have been a mistake that Bhaskarabhatla's name was listed. Puri could have himself written this song. Its his concept written all over this song. Anup has done nothing special to this special song. 

4. One More Time

Lyrics:  Kandikonda

Singer(s): Ranjith, Lipsika

Once again Violin starts better but the dog barking kind of sounds lets the song go from the listeners. However Lipsika brings back for few seconds. But then again this song leaves listeners with mixed feelings as the song sounds different there after. One more time and on the spot doesnt appear fresh. Anup tried to mix different flavors but somehow this song doesnt grow instantly. Might be having the same issue like all the latest music directors. A slow, classic flavor song with a missing feeling. Lipsika shows brilliance in between, but later on got lost mainly when she changes the gear. Anup should have left her alone instead of accompanying the voice with chorus. Over all a song that leaves mixed feeling.

5. Ittage Rechchipodam

Lyrics:  Bhaskarabhatla

Singer(s): Geetha Madhuri, Dhanunjay, Anudeep, Arun

Item song doesn't have to be sung with a different voice. The tune should take care of it. Female singer was not good during the start of the song, that was some careless singing. Her singing was not at all up-to mark. Anup showed many repetitions through out the song. Be it chorus or the tunes. Puri said Tarak is item in this song. Not sure what he meant by that? This song appears to be a short length which is good.

6. Theme Music

Lyrics:  NA

Singer(s): Rahul (Rap), Hymath, Arun, Anudeep, Dhanunjay

Theme music adds rap and a sloka with loudness written all over it. This music doesnt appear to have those many singers that were listed. Anyway cant figure out anything from this music what is the theme about.

Pick(s) of the album: Choolenge Aasma, One more time.

Anup has proved he is just another latest music director who had all standard issues. However he is better than the master of modern music so that's only positive in this album which makes this bearable.  Not sure whether this can be listed as one of the low quality albums of Tarak, but it belongs somewhere there. This album shows how low quality lyrics we are getting, how low standard the music has gone, however when there are two lines drawn we have to pick the better line. This music will be big line infront of smaller line so survives better. The producer who is interested in blockbuster movies, will never be able to focus of producing good quality music albums. The director known to be eccentric in thought process would have never focused on music and its content/quality. Definitely there will be a thought that why not DSP or Manisharma instead of Anup. Hope this movie helps Anup to check his work and go forward from there. Anyways irrespective of what it is fans are going to like it and whether this music helps movie or not time will tell. All the best to Tarak who needs a desperate hit.
