Sardaar Gabbar Singh Audio Review

Movie: Sardaar Gabbar Singh ( సర్దార్ గబ్బర్ సింగ్ )

Producer(s): Pawan Kalyan,Sharrath Marar,Sunil Lulla

Cast: Pawan Kalyan, Kajal Agarwal

Direction: K.S.Ravindra ( Story: Pawan )

Music: Devi Sri Prasad

Slated to be released on 8th April, Pawan's latest movie Sardar Gabbar Singh is completely new story which Pawan wrote himself. This is neither a sequel of his earlier movie nor a remake of Hindi movie. K.S. Ravindra who earlier directed "Power" also worked as screenwriter for many successful movies, is directing this movie. Kajal Agarwal is paired with Pawan as female lead. There was news that many other heroines were approached before finalizing Kajal. Gabbar Singh movie redefined the craze of Pawan and became a bench mark movie, not sure what will happen with this movie, which releases in right time, when fanism is peak at this time. Pawans Attarintiki daredi movie rewrote many records of Telugu movie industry until Bahubali took over most of them. However with this movie the expectations are that it will rewrite atleast many of them. This move is also getting released in Hindi. Even though few critics didnt like it, fans expect that this movie will make some impact and show what power of South means. 

DSP as usual is providing music to this film. His relation with Pawan Kalyan has been phenomenal in terms of music. No wonder he got chance again as Pawan's last movie Gopala Gopala had a different music director Anup Rubens. But recently for all big movies its DSP. This movie promotion was consistent to raise expectations and meet the demands of the fans. The two teasers released so far has everything that fans can rave about. 

This movie has 5 songs and a theme song. In that one is title song which is already heard by everyone. The Gabbar Singh title song gives a hint of the movie. The lyrics all say about that. "Danger antundhi choodu melloni erra tundu" and Pawan sports this "tundu" in every frame of the teaser. 

Lets see how music department fared even though nothing can beat Power star's screen presence, few fans of music will care for this department. 

01 - Sardaar

Singer(s): Benny Dayal

Lyrics: Ramajogiah Sastry

This is the title song which says "He is back once again, This time as Sardaar" with chorus saying Sardaar most of the time. This song is completely aimed at mass and his fans. The original Gabbar singh tune is not deviated much, but the only difference in these songs is that in this song singer Baba Sehgal missing in the form of energy. Seems like DSP had a tough task in managing the same tune and make it equally popular as the first. 

The main strength of this song is mass lyrics and the well known tune which gave a great energy to his fans earlier. but that is limited now. Benny Dayal made no mistake, but when comparisons are drawn, he falls on the false side. The reason is his voice lacks the depth that is needed for this song. The chorus were not energetic too, that is due to the tune. This song could have been more electrifying given this is all about Power.

This song has lyrics all written elevating the character, but in terms of power, be it horse power of earth quake. As told earlier, apart from Khakhi dress, this character has extra "Tundu". Also on other observation is that the Gabbar Singh addresses the song with Ladies and Gentleman, Boys and Girls and all his fans", however this movie says just Ladies and Gentleman, not that it matters :) 

Few sentences like these could have been avoided. Even though they are aimed at youth, they go out of sync to the song. "Masthu look ro mass facebook ro, Veedu left right excellent police". Not sure why telugu film lyricists are more fascinated towards columbus. Most of the songs he will be there. This one too "Kotha kotha crime guttu patte colombus". This song is already out and got its craze. The only missing part in this song is lower energy levels which for sure doesn't matter when people see this on screen.

02 - Chinnadani Choopulona

Singer(s): Simha, Mamta Sharma

Lyrics: DSP

Simha seems like now he is branded to sing just mass songs. Even though he doesnt have great flexibility in his voice, people got used to him for these type of songs, thanks to cinema choopista mama in Racegurram. The female singer's voice is not at all good at many places. She could have avoided to be sounding artificial when saying "Ro", Natural voice is always best. This is again one more out and out mass song. Laathi pattavante abbo block buster, Not sure why lyricists write these type of lines. Nothing related to character but just aiming at fans. Fans wont be impressed by these lines, they are more interested in real collections. DSP went safe in this song. He didn't make many deviations to standard template mass song he composes.

03 - Nee Chepa Kallu

Singer(s): Sagar, Chinmayi

Lyrics: Ramajogaiah Sastry

DSP provides at least one melody per album and here is that song. Sagar voice is feeble in he start, but later he picks up when he sings alone. DSP choses to add an effect to Sagar's voice initially, but let him go at a later stage. This song has trade mark written all over Chinmayi did great job. DSP rocks as usual in his tuning, instruments, orchestration keeping it simple, the lyrics are in sync with the tune. But this song doesnt grow instantly but will grow on repeated hearing. Probably DSP designed it that way. No issues with the singers for the first time in this album. This song is for DSP's melody fans. He will impress only upon repeated hearing.

04 - O Pilla

Singer(s): Shreya Ghoshal, Vijay Prakash 

Lyrics: Ananth Sriram

DSP has a signature tune in every movie, probably this song has it. The violin is very good. Then the song goes into normal path. A soft slow song. This song even though doesn't appear refreshing, this is good enough. Shreya Ghoshal sounds good in this song due to no significant pronunciation issues. Vijaya Prakash does fine. Ananth Sriram gave hint about this song during audio launch that he wrote this song. He does a decent job. Overall a simple song that also grows after repeated hearing. 

05 - Tauba Tauba

Singer(s): Nakaash Aziz,M. M. Manasi 

Lyrics: Ananth Sriram

The starting beats of the song reminds a popular hindi song, there after it takes its own route. Ananth Sriram said that Tauba Tauba words were given by DSP and then he continued from there. Khawali type song, inspired from here and there to make it a separate song to have its own identity. This song is sure another out and out mass song. Ananth Sriram justifies drinking in a funny way in this song. This song is having good beats, lyrics, tune and finally gets a good overall blend of each component into a fine song. This song for sure will rock on screen. 

06 - Aadevadanna (Theme Song)

Singer(s): Deepak 

Lyrics: Ramajogaiah Sastry

Theme song written and composed like good old king days, saying the elevation of the character of Sardar Gabbar Singh. Praising the character is the theme of the song, saying he is someone whom no one can beat and no one can come close. He is supreme power, the Powerstar. The chorus could have been a little loud. The song gets speed as it goes towards end and ends on high note summarizing all about one and only Sardar.

Pick(s) of the album: Choodaku Choodaku, Title Song, Tauba Tauba

This album has good mix of songs and it all depends upon expectations how one will perceive this album. For Powerstar's fans this is what they need and they got it from DSP. Three mass songs, one melody, one soft song the rest assured from Pawan. Couple of songs grow upon repeated hearing. This album is aimed at masses and fans so it will reach them as expected. Whether this is one of the best DSP/Pawan album? Thats very easy question to answer. Their combination earlier gave better albums than this. Having said that the title song already had 1 million views even though it is not superior to earlier Gabbar Singh title song. So nothing matters for Power star's movie all that matters is his screen presence. This album will get a mixed response from non-fans and DSP's fans.  All the best for Power star and his fans who are aiming to set new industry records with this movie.
