dongODu - Audio Review
By Kavya
Aug 8, 2003, 02:31
Goodwill Cinema
dongODu meesam melEsaaDaa antE!
Lead Cast: Raviteja, Kalyani, Rekha
Director: Bheemineni Sreenivasa Rao
Producer: Rushita Sai (Bheemineni Sreenivasa Rao presents)
Music: Vidyasagar
Audio Rights: Aditya Music
Lyrics: Chandra Bose (1); Seetarama Sastry (2, 3); Bhashasree (4, 5).
Playback: Shankar Mahadevan & Rimmi Tommy (1); Valisha Babji & Chitra (2); Hariharan & Sujatha (3); Karthik & Swarnalatha (4); Udit Narayan & Sreevardhini (5).
Overall Rating: 2.25/5
Summary:
When a song had lyrics like paalalO perugundOy, naa paiTalO baruvundOy..., it'll tell you something about the entire album. The lyrics such as those above and bad music combined together becomes unbearable. Vidyasagar scored music for Telugu movies like vaddu baavaa! tappu and made no impression among the Telugu audience earlier, but still made his mark further down south in Tamil/Malayalam movies. He recently shared the credit of being a music director for naaga but this movie did not bring him numerous chances to prove his skill in Tollywood. The movie under discussion doesn't make his position any better, and probably might make it worse.
1. kODi mundaa, guDDu mundaa... 1.5/5
Coming to the technical field, the music is too loud and it overtakes the singers voices. Shankar Mahadevan and Rimmi Tommy did okay but not good. But I dont blame them. How can they possibly express their talent in a song that goes kODi mundaa, guDDu mundaa, cheppukOvE konTe paapaa kOka mundaa, raika mundaa, cheppukOvoy chanTi baabU...! The master behind these lyrics is none other than Chandra Bose. As you can see, the description of the song is not any where near the word "good".
2. Dum Dum Dum... 3.5/5
The loudness of the music, which is caused by the usage of drums in this particular song, made this song a bit attractive. The first few lines of the charaNam-s are soft with any light music. Babji and Chitra did really well. Seetarama Sastry penned lyrics really well working with the theme of peLLi, where bride and grooms friends exchange retorts at each other. Brides friend sings veelu choosi nee vaalujaDaki pani cheppu jaali paDaka, gaalamEsi nee moguDi kaaLLu kaTTeyi kadalaneeka and the grooms friend snaps back with his lines.
3. enta pani chEsindE prEma... 3.25/5
The song starts off by the little words like ayyo.. vadulu... pOraa by the female lead. Now you know the situation of the song! Hariharan and Sujatha did well. There is nothing unique to mention about the music except the flute piece in the interlude. Seetarama Sastry penned nice lyrics like nuvvU nEnU puTTaka mundE vraasundE ee bandham.... Its worth listening for the lyrics.
4. soTTa buggala rukkumiNi... 2.5/5
The lyrics by Bhashasree take off as soTTa buggala rukkumiNi, piTTa sogasulEsukuni, gaTTu daaTi oopukunTU pOtE Music is okay and it has a folk touch to it. Karthik did a good job with pronunciation and Sujatha accompanied him well. A kids voice pops up in the middle of the song, and it is definitely cute, especially when he giggles! But most of the song doesnt make sense as far as the lyrics go. Anyway, I would listen to this one once to hear the kids voice.
5. meesaala gOpaalaa... 2.25/5
Udits pronunciation is worse than ever. Udit is singing significant amount of songs in the recent times. One fails to understand what is making Udits pronunciation so horrible. Sri Vardhini did well, however. The music for this one also has a folk-touch to it. The lyrics by Bhashasree try to bring out the nostalgia of the childhood days as they go neeku chinnanaaTi chemmachekka gurtu undaa.... If there is any grace in the song, it is tortured by Udit!

The main attraction of this album is six Music Directors, but those are all not for composing the tunes they each sung a song. Keeravani, Chakri, Devi Sri Prasad, RP Patnaik, Vandemataram and Srilekha each shared a song. Vandemataram gave an average to below average tunes and Dasari Lyrics for four songs are also not much impressive. Taidala Bapu & Ashok Teja also gave average lyrics for their limit of one song. In Playback Singers RP Patnaik, Devi Sri Prasad & Swarnalatha were good in their songs. Adugu Adugani, Soundaryama were the best picks of the album followed by Thannulu Thinte.
Soundaryama (Keeravani, Usha): Vandemataram has given a good melodious tune for the love duet. Keeravani also sings well and balanced. Usha's tone suited well to the song but she hasnt done a good job in the second stanza, her humming at the starting of the song was breezy. Lyrics by Dasari were good, but have less profound. Background beats and interludes are good and suited well to the mood of the song.
Bus Ekkithe (Chakri): The concept of the song is not convincible asking a ticket for Love by comparing Love with other things like Bus, Train etc. But the song attracts with different Lyrics, tune and Tone of the singer. Lyrics in the second stanza were not convincible and good. But Taidala Bapu has given the needed lyrics for the song. Chakri was the right choice of the song and he did well. Background beats and Interludes are not much good.
Aaku Chaatu Pindelam (Radhika, Sudharani): An average song, probably that was picturised on Shakeela and some others. Pallavi tune is good and singer also sang well. But they werent good after the first stanza. Pronunciation of the words by the singers is bad, some lyrics even were not able to hear. Most of the beats and tune is copied from some other songs, the tune of the words Tayyam Tattuyyam is from the song Nooziveedu Sonia from Avunu Valliddaru Ishtapaddaru. Lyrics by Shuddala Ashok Teja were just average. The impression of this vulgar song depends on the picturisation of the song, probably.
Thannulu Thinte (Devi Sri Prasad, Swarnalatha): Devi Sri Prasad & Swarnalatha were the right choice of the song, they have done a nice job. Lyrics were the highlight of the song. Dasari had given different and funny lyrics for the love song in the style of Chandrabose. The lines of Pallavi tannulu tinte tinnanu gaani junnu lanti kanne pilla vennelaga notikandindi, tippalu padite paddanu kaani laddu lanti buddi gaadu jiddu laaga antukunandu were funny. Tune and interluders are not freshy.
Adugu Adugani (RP Patnaik, Nishma): Tune is melodious but not much impressive. RP Patnaik & Nishma both had done a good job and their voice is good when singing the words Adugumari, Telupumari, Cheppumari, Emitadi and they sings well. Lyrics by Dasari are average.
Oyi Entoy (Vandemataram Srinivas, Sri Lekha): Tune and Lyrics are just average. Srilekha tone suited well to the song and she did a good job. Vandemataram also did an average job. Lyrics by Dasari werent impressive. Background beats and Interludes also not much impressive.

Jai - Audio Review
By NaChaKi
Jan 23, 2004, 02:37
Chitram Movies
Jai
Producer: Teja
Director: Teja
Music Director: Anoop
Audio Rights: Sohan Music
Lyrics: Kulasekhar
Playback: Anoop, Tippu & Master Manu (1); Shreya Ghosal (2); Anoop & Usha (3); Tippu (4); Baby Pretty & N. Sreenivas (5); Mallikharjun & Chitra (6); Sumangali (7); Lalitha & Chorus (8).
Rating: 3.5/5
Summary:
Teja promotes Patnaik's keyboarder Anoop to score music for this prestigious project. Anoop, who comes from behind the scenes - the orchestra, arranged his orchestra efficiently. The choice of singers is appreciable, but the need for the variety of voices he uses cannot be commented so early. Now, is he going to take Patnaik's stride in singing a few songs that he composes? Though he doesn't sound bad as a singer (not very great either!), a music director playing back his own compositions generally proves to be fatal, particularly in these days. Kulasekhar's lyrics need appreciation! The songs may take some time to impress the audience, like the earlier music hit in this banner jayam. (There's no equation or comparison here with the music of jayam!)
Playback
Lyric
Tune/Interlude/BGM
Dhama Dhama Dhama DOlu koTTu... (jai jai jai...) (Duration: 4:35 minutes) (Rating: 3.75/5)
After Patnaik two-timing as the music director and singer in Teja's movies, it seems to be Anoop's turn now! He does an okay job as a singer. Tippu now sings in Telugu better than most native singers! The child's voice is also very suitable and appreciably active. All the voices suit the mood of the song. This is a funny lyric written for flirting guys. Kulasekhar writes a very catchy and meaningful lyric. This can be quoted as one of his good lyrics. The theme, tune, lyric to some extent, and even the singing style reminds of R.P.'s "erra gulaabI tallO peTTukunnaadi..." (sambaram) though singers differ. The beat is suitable for the mood of the song.
enni aaSalO chinni gunDe lOna... (Duration: 4:37 minutes) (Rating: 3.75/5)
Shreya sings this melody with a commendable voice modulation and expression. However, her pronunciation of certain letters like the Sa in the word aaSa, dha in the word baadha, etc. should have been rectified. This seems to be a heroine introduction song, and is aesthetically penned. The song seems to be typically set to a situation where the heroine sings about her heart while thinking about her love. The lead music, along with the humming, sets the mood of this sensuous female solo. The orchestration sounds very familiar and so does the tune, but the song leaves a resonating impression on the audience.
O manasaa O manasaa... (Duration: 4:40 minutes) (Rating: 2.5/5)
Usha does a neat job like always. Anoop's voice might not suit melodies, and seems to be influenced by certain other singers. His rendition in this song is passable. This is a just-fallen-in-love kind of duet penned in a clichd manner. The use of English words like "support", "doubt" seem unnatural choices at those places. The lead music surprises the first time listener because the song header suggests a smooth melody whereas this song is actually a western-styled beat-based number! The orchestra has a bit of everything, making the song a mixture of folk, new-age, western, and classical styles.
One two three... (Duration: 4:56 minutes) (Rating: 3/5)
Tippu modulates his voice as necessitated by this western-styled "number". The lyric is innovative, and tells the importance of numbers in daily life, and also has satirical lines like "egirE flight ki O number, munigE bus ki O number". Anoop tries to bring a fusion of western tune and orchestration and Indian classical music in the interludes.
dESam manadE... (vandE maataram...) (Duration: 4:11 minutes) (Rating: 3/5)
Baby Pretty sings well, but suffers exactly the pronunciation defects as Shreya does in song #2, but this flaw has become too common these days even by adults, thanks to the influence of Hindi on our lives. Sreenivas adds his voice only to a part of the song. The song is patriotic in its theme but does not go aggressive. The song raises the voice of unity among Indians. vinaraa vinaraa... (Roja) has influenced many songs of this genre in the aspects of tune, orchestration in interludes and BGM, and chorus effects. This song is no exception. Nevertheless, this song is worth listening, particularly the audience who like such songs might not want to miss this.
nee kannullO... (nee kOsamE...) (Duration: 5:19 minutes) (Rating: 3.75/5)
Mallikharjun proves himself again with this soothing pathos number. Chitra needs no particular critique today, she is just great. Both signers instill audience's emotions. This song probably comes towards the climax of the movie, (or) when the lead pair is separated by unavoidable circumstances. The BGM sometimes dominates the vocals. The tune is impressive. The song comes with orchestration and interludes that are worth mentioning.
naa chEtilOna... (Duration: 2:56 minutes) (Rating: 3.5/5)
Sumangali's voice sounds unnecessarily young, if it is for the heroine (which seems obvious from the lyric)! The smooth gliding of notes (gamaka) at places sounds beautiful in this bit song. This is a song of the heroine singing for the hero, asking him lovingly to stay with her forever. The lalalaa... humming reminds of "machilIpatnam maaviDi chigurulO..." (merupu kalalu). Interludes sound good.
chuTTammO chuTTa aNaa... (Duration: 3:49 minutes) (Rating: 3.25/5)
Lalitha's voice is very different and suits the folk-like mood of the song. The male voice (Anoop?) doesn't seem to be credited in the audio. This song, interestingly, about cigars, or more familiarly, about chuTTa. The lyric also goes ahead to explain how a chuTTa is typically rolled. The lyric is good, but lacks catchiness. The beat, tune, and orchestration for this song go by the country-based folk-like theme. However, the words are not catchy and thus this song might not move up the charts much.

Producer: M. S. Raju
Director: Sobhan
Music Director: DeviSri Prasad

Lyrics: sirivennela Seetarama Sastry
Playback: Kalpana, Chitra & Raqeeb Alam (1), S. P. Charan & Sumangali (2), Tippu & Usha (3), Mallikharjun & Kalpana (4), Karthik & Shreya Ghosal (5), Sagar & Sumangali (6), Adnan Sami & Sunita Rao (7)
Rating: 4.25/5
Summary:
DeviSri Prasad comes up with songs that can be elevated by visuals, but also can stand by themselves. Most numbers are mass-oriented and he uses his orchestra deftly to create the moods for the songs. Particular mention of the lyrics is surely necessary for this album. Seetarama Sastry penned all the lyrics and adds another 'single-card' to his credit. What is worth mentioning is his rendition of mass-oriented songs in a freely flowing, catchy manner using simple words and some words that are getting extinct, so to say! However, his typical style does not miss in any lyric - his wordplay, expressions, similes, rhyme, etc. stay the same but only change their orientation! Choice of singers sometimes seemed unreasonable - that is the only major shortcoming I should say, if I have to pick one! Also, DeviSri should see that his orchestration does not get routine.

Chitram Movies
Jai
Producer: Teja
Director: Teja
Music Director: Anoop
Audio Rights: Sohan Music
Lyrics: Kulasekhar
Playback: Anoop, Tippu & Master Manu (1); Shreya Ghosal (2); Anoop & Usha (3); Tippu (4); Baby Pretty & N. Sreenivas (5); Mallikharjun & Chitra (6); Sumangali (7); Lalitha & Chorus (8).
Rating: 3.5/5
Summary:
Teja promotes Patnaik's keyboarder Anoop to score music for this prestigious project. Anoop, who comes from behind the scenes - the orchestra, arranged his orchestra efficiently. The choice of singers is appreciable, but the need for the variety of voices he uses cannot be commented so early. Now, is he going to take Patnaik's stride in singing a few songs that he composes? Though he doesn't sound bad as a singer (not very great either!), a music director playing back his own compositions generally proves to be fatal, particularly in these days. Kulasekhar's lyrics need appreciation! The songs may take some time to impress the audience, like the earlier music hit in this banner jayam. (There's no equation or comparison here with the music of jayam!)
Playback
Lyric
Tune/Interlude/BGM
Dhama Dhama Dhama DOlu koTTu... (jai jai jai...) (Duration: 4:35 minutes) (Rating: 3.75/5)
After Patnaik two-timing as the music director and singer in Teja's movies, it seems to be Anoop's turn now! He does an okay job as a singer. Tippu now sings in Telugu better than most native singers! The child's voice is also very suitable and appreciably active. All the voices suit the mood of the song. This is a funny lyric written for flirting guys. Kulasekhar writes a very catchy and meaningful lyric. This can be quoted as one of his good lyrics. The theme, tune, lyric to some extent, and even the singing style reminds of R.P.'s "erra gulaabI tallO peTTukunnaadi..." (sambaram) though singers differ. The beat is suitable for the mood of the song.
enni aaSalO chinni gunDe lOna... (Duration: 4:37 minutes) (Rating: 3.75/5)
Shreya sings this melody with a commendable voice modulation and expression. However, her pronunciation of certain letters like the Sa in the word aaSa, dha in the word baadha, etc. should have been rectified. This seems to be a heroine introduction song, and is aesthetically penned. The song seems to be typically set to a situation where the heroine sings about her heart while thinking about her love. The lead music, along with the humming, sets the mood of this sensuous female solo. The orchestration sounds very familiar and so does the tune, but the song leaves a resonating impression on the audience.
O manasaa O manasaa... (Duration: 4:40 minutes) (Rating: 2.5/5)
Usha does a neat job like always. Anoop's voice might not suit melodies, and seems to be influenced by certain other singers. His rendition in this song is passable. This is a just-fallen-in-love kind of duet penned in a clichd manner. The use of English words like "support", "doubt" seem unnatural choices at those places. The lead music surprises the first time listener because the song header suggests a smooth melody whereas this song is actually a western-styled beat-based number! The orchestra has a bit of everything, making the song a mixture of folk, new-age, western, and classical styles.
One two three... (Duration: 4:56 minutes) (Rating: 3/5)
Tippu modulates his voice as necessitated by this western-styled "number". The lyric is innovative, and tells the importance of numbers in daily life, and also has satirical lines like "egirE flight ki O number, munigE bus ki O number". Anoop tries to bring a fusion of western tune and orchestration and Indian classical music in the interludes.
dESam manadE... (vandE maataram...) (Duration: 4:11 minutes) (Rating: 3/5)
Baby Pretty sings well, but suffers exactly the pronunciation defects as Shreya does in song #2, but this flaw has become too common these days even by adults, thanks to the influence of Hindi on our lives. Sreenivas adds his voice only to a part of the song. The song is patriotic in its theme but does not go aggressive. The song raises the voice of unity among Indians. vinaraa vinaraa... (Roja) has influenced many songs of this genre in the aspects of tune, orchestration in interludes and BGM, and chorus effects. This song is no exception. Nevertheless, this song is worth listening, particularly the audience who like such songs might not want to miss this.
nee kannullO... (nee kOsamE...) (Duration: 5:19 minutes) (Rating: 3.75/5)
Mallikharjun proves himself again with this soothing pathos number. Chitra needs no particular critique today, she is just great. Both signers instill audience's emotions. This song probably comes towards the climax of the movie, (or) when the lead pair is separated by unavoidable circumstances. The BGM sometimes dominates the vocals. The tune is impressive. The song comes with orchestration and interludes that are worth mentioning.
naa chEtilOna... (Duration: 2:56 minutes) (Rating: 3.5/5)
Sumangali's voice sounds unnecessarily young, if it is for the heroine (which seems obvious from the lyric)! The smooth gliding of notes (gamaka) at places sounds beautiful in this bit song. This is a song of the heroine singing for the hero, asking him lovingly to stay with her forever. The lalalaa... humming reminds of "machilIpatnam maaviDi chigurulO..." (merupu kalalu). Interludes sound good.
chuTTammO chuTTa aNaa... (Duration: 3:49 minutes) (Rating: 3.25/5)
Lalitha's voice is very different and suits the folk-like mood of the song. The male voice (Anoop?) doesn't seem to be credited in the audio. This song, interestingly, about cigars, or more familiarly, about chuTTa. The lyric also goes ahead to explain how a chuTTa is typically rolled. The lyric is good, but lacks catchiness. The beat, tune, and orchestration for this song go by the country-based folk-like theme. However, the words are not catchy and thus this song might not move up the charts much.

Producer: M. S. Raju
Director: Sobhan
Music Director: DeviSri Prasad
Audio Rights: Aditya Music (India) Limited
Lyrics: sirivennela Seetarama Sastry
Playback: Kalpana, Chitra & Raqeeb Alam (1), S. P. Charan & Sumangali (2), Tippu & Usha (3), Mallikharjun & Kalpana (4), Karthik & Shreya Ghosal (5), Sagar & Sumangali (6), Adnan Sami & Sunita Rao (7)
Rating: 4.25/5
Summary:
DeviSri Prasad comes up with songs that can be elevated by visuals, but also can stand by themselves. Most numbers are mass-oriented and he uses his orchestra deftly to create the moods for the songs. Particular mention of the lyrics is surely necessary for this album. Seetarama Sastry penned all the lyrics and adds another 'single-card' to his credit. What is worth mentioning is his rendition of mass-oriented songs in a freely flowing, catchy manner using simple words and some words that are getting extinct, so to say! However, his typical style does not miss in any lyric - his wordplay, expressions, similes, rhyme, etc. stay the same but only change their orientation! Choice of singers sometimes seemed unreasonable - that is the only major shortcoming I should say, if I have to pick one! Also, DeviSri should see that his orchestration does not get routine.

dongODu meesam melEsaaDaa antE!
Lead Cast: Raviteja, Kalyani, Rekha
Director: Bheemineni Sreenivasa Rao
Producer: Rushita Sai (Bheemineni Sreenivasa Rao presents)
Music: Vidyasagar
Audio Rights: Aditya Music
Lyrics: Chandra Bose (1); Seetarama Sastry (2, 3); Bhashasree (4, 5).
Playback: Shankar Mahadevan & Rimmi Tommy (1); Valisha Babji & Chitra (2); Hariharan & Sujatha (3); Karthik & Swarnalatha (4); Udit Narayan & Sreevardhini (5).
Overall Rating: 2.25/5
Summary:
When a song had lyrics like paalalO perugundOy, naa paiTalO baruvundOy..., it'll tell you something about the entire album. The lyrics such as those above and bad music combined together becomes unbearable. Vidyasagar scored music for Telugu movies like vaddu baavaa! tappu and made no impression among the Telugu audience earlier, but still made his mark further down south in Tamil/Malayalam movies. He recently shared the credit of being a music director for naaga but this movie did not bring him numerous chances to prove his skill in Tollywood. The movie under discussion doesn't make his position any better, and probably might make it worse.
1. kODi mundaa, guDDu mundaa... 1.5/5
Coming to the technical field, the music is too loud and it overtakes the singers voices. Shankar Mahadevan and Rimmi Tommy did okay but not good. But I dont blame them. How can they possibly express their talent in a song that goes kODi mundaa, guDDu mundaa, cheppukOvE konTe paapaa kOka mundaa, raika mundaa, cheppukOvoy chanTi baabU...! The master behind these lyrics is none other than Chandra Bose. As you can see, the description of the song is not any where near the word "good".
2. Dum Dum Dum... 3.5/5
The loudness of the music, which is caused by the usage of drums in this particular song, made this song a bit attractive. The first few lines of the charaNam-s are soft with any light music. Babji and Chitra did really well. Seetarama Sastry penned lyrics really well working with the theme of peLLi, where bride and grooms friends exchange retorts at each other. Brides friend sings veelu choosi nee vaalujaDaki pani cheppu jaali paDaka, gaalamEsi nee moguDi kaaLLu kaTTeyi kadalaneeka and the grooms friend snaps back with his lines.
3. enta pani chEsindE prEma... 3.25/5
The song starts off by the little words like ayyo.. vadulu... pOraa by the female lead. Now you know the situation of the song! Hariharan and Sujatha did well. There is nothing unique to mention about the music except the flute piece in the interlude. Seetarama Sastry penned nice lyrics like nuvvU nEnU puTTaka mundE vraasundE ee bandham.... Its worth listening for the lyrics.
4. soTTa buggala rukkumiNi... 2.5/5
The lyrics by Bhashasree take off as soTTa buggala rukkumiNi, piTTa sogasulEsukuni, gaTTu daaTi oopukunTU pOtE Music is okay and it has a folk touch to it. Karthik did a good job with pronunciation and Sujatha accompanied him well. A kids voice pops up in the middle of the song, and it is definitely cute, especially when he giggles! But most of the song doesnt make sense as far as the lyrics go. Anyway, I would listen to this one once to hear the kids voice.
5. meesaala gOpaalaa... 2.25/5
Udits pronunciation is worse than ever. Udit is singing significant amount of songs in the recent times. One fails to understand what is making Udits pronunciation so horrible. Sri Vardhini did well, however. The music for this one also has a folk-touch to it. The lyrics by Bhashasree try to bring out the nostalgia of the childhood days as they go neeku chinnanaaTi chemmachekka gurtu undaa.... If there is any grace in the song, it is tortured by Udit!

The main attraction of this album is six Music Directors, but those are all not for composing the tunes they each sung a song. Keeravani, Chakri, Devi Sri Prasad, RP Patnaik, Vandemataram and Srilekha each shared a song. Vandemataram gave an average to below average tunes and Dasari Lyrics for four songs are also not much impressive. Taidala Bapu & Ashok Teja also gave average lyrics for their limit of one song. In Playback Singers RP Patnaik, Devi Sri Prasad & Swarnalatha were good in their songs. Adugu Adugani, Soundaryama were the best picks of the album followed by Thannulu Thinte.
Soundaryama (Keeravani, Usha): Vandemataram has given a good melodious tune for the love duet. Keeravani also sings well and balanced. Usha's tone suited well to the song but she hasnt done a good job in the second stanza, her humming at the starting of the song was breezy. Lyrics by Dasari were good, but have less profound. Background beats and interludes are good and suited well to the mood of the song.
Bus Ekkithe (Chakri): The concept of the song is not convincible asking a ticket for Love by comparing Love with other things like Bus, Train etc. But the song attracts with different Lyrics, tune and Tone of the singer. Lyrics in the second stanza were not convincible and good. But Taidala Bapu has given the needed lyrics for the song. Chakri was the right choice of the song and he did well. Background beats and Interludes are not much good.
Aaku Chaatu Pindelam (Radhika, Sudharani): An average song, probably that was picturised on Shakeela and some others. Pallavi tune is good and singer also sang well. But they werent good after the first stanza. Pronunciation of the words by the singers is bad, some lyrics even were not able to hear. Most of the beats and tune is copied from some other songs, the tune of the words Tayyam Tattuyyam is from the song Nooziveedu Sonia from Avunu Valliddaru Ishtapaddaru. Lyrics by Shuddala Ashok Teja were just average. The impression of this vulgar song depends on the picturisation of the song, probably.
Thannulu Thinte (Devi Sri Prasad, Swarnalatha): Devi Sri Prasad & Swarnalatha were the right choice of the song, they have done a nice job. Lyrics were the highlight of the song. Dasari had given different and funny lyrics for the love song in the style of Chandrabose. The lines of Pallavi tannulu tinte tinnanu gaani junnu lanti kanne pilla vennelaga notikandindi, tippalu padite paddanu kaani laddu lanti buddi gaadu jiddu laaga antukunandu were funny. Tune and interluders are not freshy.
Adugu Adugani (RP Patnaik, Nishma): Tune is melodious but not much impressive. RP Patnaik & Nishma both had done a good job and their voice is good when singing the words Adugumari, Telupumari, Cheppumari, Emitadi and they sings well. Lyrics by Dasari are average.
Oyi Entoy (Vandemataram Srinivas, Sri Lekha): Tune and Lyrics are just average. Srilekha tone suited well to the song and she did a good job. Vandemataram also did an average job. Lyrics by Dasari werent impressive. Background beats and Interludes also not much impressive.

dongODu - Audio Review
By Kavya

Goodwill Cinema
dongODu meesam melEsaaDaa antE!
Lead Cast: Raviteja, Kalyani, Rekha
Director: Bheemineni Sreenivasa Rao
Producer: Rushita Sai (Bheemineni Sreenivasa Rao presents)
Music: Vidyasagar
Audio Rights: Aditya Music
Lyrics: Chandra Bose (1); Seetarama Sastry (2, 3); Bhashasree (4, 5).
Playback: Shankar Mahadevan & Rimmi Tommy (1); Valisha Babji & Chitra (2); Hariharan & Sujatha (3); Karthik & Swarnalatha (4); Udit Narayan & Sreevardhini (5).
Overall Rating: 2.25/5
Summary:
When a song had lyrics like paalalO perugundOy, naa paiTalO baruvundOy..., it'll tell you something about the entire album. The lyrics such as those above and bad music combined together becomes unbearable. Vidyasagar scored music for Telugu movies like vaddu baavaa! tappu and made no impression among the Telugu audience earlier, but still made his mark further down south in Tamil/Malayalam movies. He recently shared the credit of being a music director for naaga but this movie did not bring him numerous chances to prove his skill in Tollywood. The movie under discussion doesn't make his position any better, and probably might make it worse.
1. kODi mundaa, guDDu mundaa... 1.5/5
Coming to the technical field, the music is too loud and it overtakes the singers voices. Shankar Mahadevan and Rimmi Tommy did okay but not good. But I dont blame them. How can they possibly express their talent in a song that goes kODi mundaa, guDDu mundaa, cheppukOvE konTe paapaa kOka mundaa, raika mundaa, cheppukOvoy chanTi baabU...! The master behind these lyrics is none other than Chandra Bose. As you can see, the description of the song is not any where near the word "good".
2. Dum Dum Dum... 3.5/5
The loudness of the music, which is caused by the usage of drums in this particular song, made this song a bit attractive. The first few lines of the charaNam-s are soft with any light music. Babji and Chitra did really well. Seetarama Sastry penned lyrics really well working with the theme of peLLi, where bride and grooms friends exchange retorts at each other. Brides friend sings veelu choosi nee vaalujaDaki pani cheppu jaali paDaka, gaalamEsi nee moguDi kaaLLu kaTTeyi kadalaneeka and the grooms friend snaps back with his lines.
3. enta pani chEsindE prEma... 3.25/5
The song starts off by the little words like ayyo.. vadulu... pOraa by the female lead. Now you know the situation of the song! Hariharan and Sujatha did well. There is nothing unique to mention about the music except the flute piece in the interlude. Seetarama Sastry penned nice lyrics like nuvvU nEnU puTTaka mundE vraasundE ee bandham.... Its worth listening for the lyrics.
4. soTTa buggala rukkumiNi... 2.5/5
The lyrics by Bhashasree take off as soTTa buggala rukkumiNi, piTTa sogasulEsukuni, gaTTu daaTi oopukunTU pOtE Music is okay and it has a folk touch to it. Karthik did a good job with pronunciation and Sujatha accompanied him well. A kids voice pops up in the middle of the song, and it is definitely cute, especially when he giggles! But most of the song doesnt make sense as far as the lyrics go. Anyway, I would listen to this one once to hear the kids voice.
5. meesaala gOpaalaa... 2.25/5
Udits pronunciation is worse than ever. Udit is singing significant amount of songs in the recent times. One fails to understand what is making Udits pronunciation so horrible. Sri Vardhini did well, however. The music for this one also has a folk-touch to it. The lyrics by Bhashasree try to bring out the nostalgia of the childhood days as they go neeku chinnanaaTi chemmachekka gurtu undaa.... If there is any grace in the song, it is tortured by Udit!

The main attraction of this album is six Music Directors, but those are all not for composing the tunes they each sung a song. Keeravani, Chakri, Devi Sri Prasad, RP Patnaik, Vandemataram and Srilekha each shared a song. Vandemataram gave an average to below average tunes and Dasari Lyrics for four songs are also not much impressive. Taidala Bapu & Ashok Teja also gave average lyrics for their limit of one song. In Playback Singers RP Patnaik, Devi Sri Prasad & Swarnalatha were good in their songs. Adugu Adugani, Soundaryama were the best picks of the album followed by Thannulu Thinte.
Soundaryama (Keeravani, Usha): Vandemataram has given a good melodious tune for the love duet. Keeravani also sings well and balanced. Usha's tone suited well to the song but she hasnt done a good job in the second stanza, her humming at the starting of the song was breezy. Lyrics by Dasari were good, but have less profound. Background beats and interludes are good and suited well to the mood of the song.
Bus Ekkithe (Chakri): The concept of the song is not convincible asking a ticket for Love by comparing Love with other things like Bus, Train etc. But the song attracts with different Lyrics, tune and Tone of the singer. Lyrics in the second stanza were not convincible and good. But Taidala Bapu has given the needed lyrics for the song. Chakri was the right choice of the song and he did well. Background beats and Interludes are not much good.
Aaku Chaatu Pindelam (Radhika, Sudharani): An average song, probably that was picturised on Shakeela and some others. Pallavi tune is good and singer also sang well. But they werent good after the first stanza. Pronunciation of the words by the singers is bad, some lyrics even were not able to hear. Most of the beats and tune is copied from some other songs, the tune of the words Tayyam Tattuyyam is from the song Nooziveedu Sonia from Avunu Valliddaru Ishtapaddaru. Lyrics by Shuddala Ashok Teja were just average. The impression of this vulgar song depends on the picturisation of the song, probably.
Thannulu Thinte (Devi Sri Prasad, Swarnalatha): Devi Sri Prasad & Swarnalatha were the right choice of the song, they have done a nice job. Lyrics were the highlight of the song. Dasari had given different and funny lyrics for the love song in the style of Chandrabose. The lines of Pallavi tannulu tinte tinnanu gaani junnu lanti kanne pilla vennelaga notikandindi, tippalu padite paddanu kaani laddu lanti buddi gaadu jiddu laaga antukunandu were funny. Tune and interluders are not freshy.
Adugu Adugani (RP Patnaik, Nishma): Tune is melodious but not much impressive. RP Patnaik & Nishma both had done a good job and their voice is good when singing the words Adugumari, Telupumari, Cheppumari, Emitadi and they sings well. Lyrics by Dasari are average.
Oyi Entoy (Vandemataram Srinivas, Sri Lekha): Tune and Lyrics are just average. Srilekha tone suited well to the song and she did a good job. Vandemataram also did an average job. Lyrics by Dasari werent impressive. Background beats and Interludes also not much impressive.

Chitram Movies
Jai
Producer: Teja
Director: Teja
Music Director: Anoop
Audio Rights: Sohan Music
Lyrics: Kulasekhar
Playback: Anoop, Tippu & Master Manu (1); Shreya Ghosal (2); Anoop & Usha (3); Tippu (4); Baby Pretty & N. Sreenivas (5); Mallikharjun & Chitra (6); Sumangali (7); Lalitha & Chorus (8).
Rating: 3.5/5
Summary:
Teja promotes Patnaik's keyboarder Anoop to score music for this prestigious project. Anoop, who comes from behind the scenes - the orchestra, arranged his orchestra efficiently. The choice of singers is appreciable, but the need for the variety of voices he uses cannot be commented so early. Now, is he going to take Patnaik's stride in singing a few songs that he composes? Though he doesn't sound bad as a singer (not very great either!), a music director playing back his own compositions generally proves to be fatal, particularly in these days. Kulasekhar's lyrics need appreciation! The songs may take some time to impress the audience, like the earlier music hit in this banner jayam. (There's no equation or comparison here with the music of jayam!)
Playback
Lyric
Tune/Interlude/BGM
Dhama Dhama Dhama DOlu koTTu... (jai jai jai...) (Duration: 4:35 minutes) (Rating: 3.75/5)
After Patnaik two-timing as the music director and singer in Teja's movies, it seems to be Anoop's turn now! He does an okay job as a singer. Tippu now sings in Telugu better than most native singers! The child's voice is also very suitable and appreciably active. All the voices suit the mood of the song. This is a funny lyric written for flirting guys. Kulasekhar writes a very catchy and meaningful lyric. This can be quoted as one of his good lyrics. The theme, tune, lyric to some extent, and even the singing style reminds of R.P.'s "erra gulaabI tallO peTTukunnaadi..." (sambaram) though singers differ. The beat is suitable for the mood of the song.
enni aaSalO chinni gunDe lOna... (Duration: 4:37 minutes) (Rating: 3.75/5)
Shreya sings this melody with a commendable voice modulation and expression. However, her pronunciation of certain letters like the Sa in the word aaSa, dha in the word baadha, etc. should have been rectified. This seems to be a heroine introduction song, and is aesthetically penned. The song seems to be typically set to a situation where the heroine sings about her heart while thinking about her love. The lead music, along with the humming, sets the mood of this sensuous female solo. The orchestration sounds very familiar and so does the tune, but the song leaves a resonating impression on the audience.
O manasaa O manasaa... (Duration: 4:40 minutes) (Rating: 2.5/5)
Usha does a neat job like always. Anoop's voice might not suit melodies, and seems to be influenced by certain other singers. His rendition in this song is passable. This is a just-fallen-in-love kind of duet penned in a clichd manner. The use of English words like "support", "doubt" seem unnatural choices at those places. The lead music surprises the first time listener because the song header suggests a smooth melody whereas this song is actually a western-styled beat-based number! The orchestra has a bit of everything, making the song a mixture of folk, new-age, western, and classical styles.
One two three... (Duration: 4:56 minutes) (Rating: 3/5)
Tippu modulates his voice as necessitated by this western-styled "number". The lyric is innovative, and tells the importance of numbers in daily life, and also has satirical lines like "egirE flight ki O number, munigE bus ki O number". Anoop tries to bring a fusion of western tune and orchestration and Indian classical music in the interludes.
dESam manadE... (vandE maataram...) (Duration: 4:11 minutes) (Rating: 3/5)
Baby Pretty sings well, but suffers exactly the pronunciation defects as Shreya does in song #2, but this flaw has become too common these days even by adults, thanks to the influence of Hindi on our lives. Sreenivas adds his voice only to a part of the song. The song is patriotic in its theme but does not go aggressive. The song raises the voice of unity among Indians. vinaraa vinaraa... (Roja) has influenced many songs of this genre in the aspects of tune, orchestration in interludes and BGM, and chorus effects. This song is no exception. Nevertheless, this song is worth listening, particularly the audience who like such songs might not want to miss this.
nee kannullO... (nee kOsamE...) (Duration: 5:19 minutes) (Rating: 3.75/5)
Mallikharjun proves himself again with this soothing pathos number. Chitra needs no particular critique today, she is just great. Both signers instill audience's emotions. This song probably comes towards the climax of the movie, (or) when the lead pair is separated by unavoidable circumstances. The BGM sometimes dominates the vocals. The tune is impressive. The song comes with orchestration and interludes that are worth mentioning.
naa chEtilOna... (Duration: 2:56 minutes) (Rating: 3.5/5)
Sumangali's voice sounds unnecessarily young, if it is for the heroine (which seems obvious from the lyric)! The smooth gliding of notes (gamaka) at places sounds beautiful in this bit song. This is a song of the heroine singing for the hero, asking him lovingly to stay with her forever. The lalalaa... humming reminds of "machilIpatnam maaviDi chigurulO..." (merupu kalalu). Interludes sound good.
chuTTammO chuTTa aNaa... (Duration: 3:49 minutes) (Rating: 3.25/5)
Lalitha's voice is very different and suits the folk-like mood of the song. The male voice (Anoop?) doesn't seem to be credited in the audio. This song, interestingly, about cigars, or more familiarly, about chuTTa. The lyric also goes ahead to explain how a chuTTa is typically rolled. The lyric is good, but lacks catchiness. The beat, tune, and orchestration for this song go by the country-based folk-like theme. However, the words are not catchy and thus this song might not move up the charts much.

Rating: 4.25/5
Summary:
DeviSri Prasad comes up with songs that can be elevated by visuals, but also can stand by themselves. Most numbers are mass-oriented and he uses his orchestra deftly to create the moods for the songs. Particular mention of the lyrics is surely necessary for this album. Seetarama Sastry penned all the lyrics and adds another 'single-card' to his credit. What is worth mentioning is his rendition of mass-oriented songs in a freely flowing, catchy manner using simple words and some words that are getting extinct, so to say! However, his typical style does not miss in any lyric - his wordplay, expressions, similes, rhyme, etc. stay the same but only change their orientation! Choice of singers sometimes seemed unreasonable - that is the only major shortcoming I should say, if I have to pick one! Also, DeviSri should see that his orchestration does not get routine.

Though he doesn't sound bad as a singer (not very great either!), a music director playing back his own compositions generally proves to be fatal, particularly in these days. Kulasekhar's lyrics need appreciation! The songs may take some time to impress the audience, like the earlier music hit in this banner jayam. (There's no equation or comparison here with the music of jayam!)
Playback
Lyric
Tune/Interlude/BGM
Dhama Dhama Dhama DOlu koTTu... (jai jai jai...) (Duration: 4:35 minutes) (Rating: 3.75/5)
After Patnaik two-timing as the music director and singer in Teja's movies, it seems to be Anoop's turn now! He does an okay job as a singer. Tippu now sings in Telugu better than most native singers! The child's voice is also very suitable and appreciably active. All the voices suit the mood of the song. This is a funny lyric written for flirting guys. Kulasekhar writes a very catchy and meaningful lyric. This can be quoted as one of his good lyrics. The theme, tune, lyric to some extent, and even the singing style reminds of R.P.'s "erra gulaabI tallO peTTukunnaadi..." (sambaram) though singers differ. The beat is suitable for the mood of the song.
enni aaSalO chinni gunDe lOna... (Duration: 4:37 minutes) (Rating: 3.75/5)
Shreya sings this melody with a commendable voice modulation and expression. However, her pronunciation of certain letters like the Sa in the word aaSa, dha in the word baadha, etc. should have been rectified. This seems to be a heroine introduction song, and is aesthetically penned. The song seems to be typically set to a situation where the heroine sings about her heart while thinking about her love. The lead music, along with the humming, sets the mood of this sensuous female solo. The orchestration sounds very familiar and so does the tune, but the song leaves a resonating impression on the audience.
O manasaa O manasaa... (Duration: 4:40 minutes) (Rating: 2.5/5)
Usha does a neat job like always. Anoop's voice might not suit melodies, and seems to be influenced by certain other singers. His rendition in this song is passable. This is a just-fallen-in-love kind of duet penned in a clichd manner. The use of English words like "support", "doubt" seem unnatural choices at those places. The lead music surprises the first time listener because the song header suggests a smooth melody whereas this song is actually a western-styled beat-based number! The orchestra has a bit of everything, making the song a mixture of folk, new-age, western, and classical styles.
One two three... (Duration: 4:56 minutes) (Rating: 3/5)
Tippu modulates his voice as necessitated by this western-styled "number". The lyric is innovative, and tells the importance of numbers in daily life, and also has satirical lines like "egirE flight ki O number, munigE bus ki O number". Anoop tries to bring a fusion of western tune and orchestration and Indian classical music in the interludes.
dESam manadE... (vandE maataram...) (Duration: 4:11 minutes) (Rating: 3/5)
Baby Pretty sings well, but suffers exactly the pronunciation defects as Shreya does in song #2, but this flaw has become too common these days even by adults, thanks to the influence of Hindi on our lives. Sreenivas adds his voice only to a part of the song. The song is patriotic in its theme but does not go aggressive. The song raises the voice of unity among Indians. vinaraa vinaraa... (Roja) has influenced many songs of this genre in the aspects of tune, orchestration in interludes and BGM, and chorus effects. This song is no exception. Nevertheless, this song is worth listening, particularly the audience who like such songs might not want to miss this.
nee kannullO... (nee kOsamE...) (Duration: 5:19 minutes) (Rating: 3.75/5)
Mallikharjun proves himself again with this soothing pathos number. Chitra needs no particular critique today, she is just great. Both signers instill audience's emotions. This song probably comes towards the climax of the movie, (or) when the lead pair is separated by unavoidable circumstances. The BGM sometimes dominates the vocals. The tune is impressive. The song comes with orchestration and interludes that are worth mentioning.
naa chEtilOna... (Duration: 2:56 minutes) (Rating: 3.5/5)
Sumangali's voice sounds unnecessarily young, if it is for the heroine (which seems obvious from the lyric)! The smooth gliding of notes (gamaka) at places sounds beautiful in this bit song. This is a song of the heroine singing for the hero, asking him lovingly to stay with her forever. The lalalaa... humming reminds of "machilIpatnam maaviDi chigurulO..." (merupu kalalu). Interludes sound good.
chuTTammO chuTTa aNaa... (Duration: 3:49 minutes) (Rating: 3.25/5)
Lalitha's voice is very different and suits the folk-like mood of the song. The male voice (Anoop?) doesn't seem to be credited in the audio. This song, interestingly, about cigars, or more familiarly, about chuTTa. The lyric also goes ahead to explain how a chuTTa is typically rolled. The lyric is good, but lacks catchiness. The beat, tune, and orchestration for this song go by the country-based folk-like theme. However, the words are not catchy and thus this song might not move up the charts much.

Producer: M. S. Raju

Music Director: DeviSri Prasad
Audio Rights: Aditya Music (India) Limited
Lyrics: sirivennela Seetarama Sastry
Playback: Kalpana, Chitra & Raqeeb Alam (1), S. P. Charan & Sumangali (2), Tippu & Usha (3), Mallikharjun & Kalpana (4), Karthik & Shreya Ghosal (5), Sagar & Sumangali (6), Adnan Sami & Sunita Rao (7)
Rating: 4.25/5
Summary:
DeviSri Prasad comes up with songs that can be elevated by visuals, but also can stand by themselves. Most numbers are mass-oriented and he uses his orchestra deftly to create the moods for the songs. Particular mention of the lyrics is surely necessary for this album. Seetarama Sastry penned all the lyrics and adds another 'single-card' to his credit. What is worth mentioning is his rendition of mass-oriented songs in a freely flowing, catchy manner using simple words and some words that are getting extinct, so to say! However, his typical style does not miss in any lyric - his wordplay, expressions, similes, rhyme, etc. stay the same but only change their orientation! Choice of singers sometimes seemed unreasonable - that is the only major shortcoming I should say, if I have to pick one! Also, DeviSri should see that his orchestration does not get routine.

dongODu meesam melEsaaDaa antE!
Lead Cast: Raviteja, Kalyani, Rekha
Director: Bheemineni Sreenivasa Rao
Producer: Rushita Sai (Bheemineni Sreenivasa Rao presents)
Music: Vidyasagar
Audio Rights: Aditya Music
Lyrics: Chandra Bose (1); Seetarama Sastry (2, 3); Bhashasree (4, 5).
Playback: Shankar Mahadevan & Rimmi Tommy (1); Valisha Babji & Chitra (2); Hariharan & Sujatha (3); Karthik & Swarnalatha (4); Udit Narayan & Sreevardhini (5).
Overall Rating: 2.25/5
Summary:
When a song had lyrics like paalalO perugundOy, naa paiTalO baruvundOy..., it'll tell you something about the entire album. The lyrics such as those above and bad music combined together becomes unbearable. Vidyasagar scored music for Telugu movies like vaddu baavaa! tappu and made no impression among the Telugu audience earlier, but still made his mark further down south in Tamil/Malayalam movies. He recently shared the credit of being a music director for naaga but this movie did not bring him numerous chances to prove his skill in Tollywood. The movie under discussion doesn't make his position any better, and probably might make it worse.
1. kODi mundaa, guDDu mundaa... 1.5/5
Coming to the technical field, the music is too loud and it overtakes the singers voices. Shankar Mahadevan and Rimmi Tommy did okay but not good. But I dont blame them. How can they possibly express their talent in a song that goes kODi mundaa, guDDu mundaa, cheppukOvE konTe paapaa kOka mundaa, raika mundaa, cheppukOvoy chanTi baabU...! The master behind these lyrics is none other than Chandra Bose. As you can see, the description of the song is not any where near the word "good".
2. Dum Dum Dum... 3.5/5
The loudness of the music, which is caused by the usage of drums in this particular song, made this song a bit attractive. The first few lines of the charaNam-s are soft with any light music. Babji and Chitra did really well. Seetarama Sastry penned lyrics really well working with the theme of peLLi, where bride and grooms friends exchange retorts at each other. Brides friend sings veelu choosi nee vaalujaDaki pani cheppu jaali paDaka, gaalamEsi nee moguDi kaaLLu kaTTeyi kadalaneeka and the grooms friend snaps back with his lines.
3. enta pani chEsindE prEma... 3.25/5
The song starts off by the little words like ayyo.. vadulu... pOraa by the female lead. Now you know the situation of the song! Hariharan and Sujatha did well. There is nothing unique to mention about the music except the flute piece in the interlude. Seetarama Sastry penned nice lyrics like nuvvU nEnU puTTaka mundE vraasundE ee bandham.... Its worth listening for the lyrics.
4. soTTa buggala rukkumiNi... 2.5/5
The lyrics by Bhashasree take off as soTTa buggala rukkumiNi, piTTa sogasulEsukuni, gaTTu daaTi oopukunTU pOtE Music is okay and it has a folk touch to it. Karthik did a good job with pronunciation and Sujatha accompanied him well. A kids voice pops up in the middle of the song, and it is definitely cute, especially when he giggles! But most of the song doesnt make sense as far as the lyrics go. Anyway, I would listen to this one once to hear the kids voice.
5. meesaala gOpaalaa... 2.25/5
Udits pronunciation is worse than ever. Udit is singing significant amount of songs in the recent times. One fails to understand what is making Udits pronunciation so horrible. Sri Vardhini did well, however. The music for this one also has a folk-touch to it. The lyrics by Bhashasree try to bring out the nostalgia of the childhood days as they go neeku chinnanaaTi chemmachekka gurtu undaa.... If there is any grace in the song, it is tortured by Udit!

The main attraction of this album is six Music Directors, but those are all not for composing the tunes they each sung a song. Keeravani, Chakri, Devi Sri Prasad, RP Patnaik, Vandemataram and Srilekha each shared a song. Vandemataram gave an average to below average tunes and Dasari Lyrics for four songs are also not much impressive. Taidala Bapu & Ashok Teja also gave average lyrics for their limit of one song. In Playback Singers RP Patnaik, Devi Sri Prasad & Swarnalatha were good in their songs. Adugu Adugani, Soundaryama were the best picks of the album followed by Thannulu Thinte.
Soundaryama (Keeravani, Usha): Vandemataram has given a good melodious tune for the love duet. Keeravani also sings well and balanced. Usha's tone suited well to the song but she hasnt done a good job in the second stanza, her humming at the starting of the song was breezy. Lyrics by Dasari were good, but have less profound. Background beats and interludes are good and suited well to the mood of the song.
Bus Ekkithe (Chakri): The concept of the song is not convincible asking a ticket for Love by comparing Love with other things like Bus, Train etc. But the song attracts with different Lyrics, tune and Tone of the singer. Lyrics in the second stanza were not convincible and good. But Taidala Bapu has given the needed lyrics for the song. Chakri was the right choice of the song and he did well. Background beats and Interludes are not much good.
Aaku Chaatu Pindelam (Radhika, Sudharani): An average song, probably that was picturised on Shakeela and some others. Pallavi tune is good and singer also sang well. But they werent good after the first stanza. Pronunciation of the words by the singers is bad, some lyrics even were not able to hear. Most of the beats and tune is copied from some other songs, the tune of the words Tayyam Tattuyyam is from the song Nooziveedu Sonia from Avunu Valliddaru Ishtapaddaru. Lyrics by Shuddala Ashok Teja were just average. The impression of this vulgar song depends on the picturisation of the song, probably.
Thannulu Thinte (Devi Sri Prasad, Swarnalatha): Devi Sri Prasad & Swarnalatha were the right choice of the song, they have done a nice job. Lyrics were the highlight of the song. Dasari had given different and funny lyrics for the love song in the style of Chandrabose. The lines of Pallavi tannulu tinte tinnanu gaani junnu lanti kanne pilla vennelaga notikandindi, tippalu padite paddanu kaani laddu lanti buddi gaadu jiddu laaga antukunandu were funny. Tune and interluders are not freshy.
Adugu Adugani (RP Patnaik, Nishma): Tune is melodious but not much impressive. RP Patnaik & Nishma both had done a good job and their voice is good when singing the words Adugumari, Telupumari, Cheppumari, Emitadi and they sings well. Lyrics by Dasari are average.
Oyi Entoy (Vandemataram Srinivas, Sri Lekha): Tune and Lyrics are just average. Srilekha tone suited well to the song and she did a good job. Vandemataram also did an average job. Lyrics by Dasari werent impressive. Background beats and Interludes also not much impressive.

Overall Rating: 2.25/5
Summary:
When a song had lyrics like paalalO perugundOy, naa paiTalO baruvundOy..., it'll tell you something about the entire album. The lyrics such as those above and bad music combined together becomes unbearable. Vidyasagar scored music for Telugu movies like vaddu baavaa! tappu and made no impression among the Telugu audience earlier, but still made his mark further down south in Tamil/Malayalam movies. He recently shared the credit of being a music director for naaga but this movie did not bring him numerous chances to prove his skill in Tollywood. The movie under discussion doesn't make his position any better, and probably might make it worse.
1. kODi mundaa, guDDu mundaa... 1.5/5
Coming to the technical field, the music is too loud and it overtakes the singers voices. Shankar Mahadevan and Rimmi Tommy did okay but not good. But I dont blame them. How can they possibly express their talent in a song that goes kODi mundaa, guDDu mundaa, cheppukOvE konTe paapaa kOka mundaa, raika mundaa, cheppukOvoy chanTi baabU...! The master behind these lyrics is none other than Chandra Bose. As you can see, the description of the song is not any where near the word "good".
2. Dum Dum Dum... 3.5/5
The loudness of the music, which is caused by the usage of drums in this particular song, made this song a bit attractive. The first few lines of the charaNam-s are soft with any light music. Babji and Chitra did really well. Seetarama Sastry penned lyrics really well working with the theme of peLLi, where bride and grooms friends exchange retorts at each other. Brides friend sings veelu choosi nee vaalujaDaki pani cheppu jaali paDaka, gaalamEsi nee moguDi kaaLLu kaTTeyi kadalaneeka and the grooms friend snaps back with his lines.
3. enta pani chEsindE prEma... 3.25/5
The song starts off by the little words like ayyo.. vadulu... pOraa by the female lead. Now you know the situation of the song! Hariharan and Sujatha did well. There is nothing unique to mention about the music except the flute piece in the interlude. Seetarama Sastry penned nice lyrics like nuvvU nEnU puTTaka mundE vraasundE ee bandham.... Its worth listening for the lyrics.
4. soTTa buggala rukkumiNi... 2.5/5
The lyrics by Bhashasree take off as soTTa buggala rukkumiNi, piTTa sogasulEsukuni, gaTTu daaTi oopukunTU pOtE Music is okay and it has a folk touch to it. Karthik did a good job with pronunciation and Sujatha accompanied him well. A kids voice pops up in the middle of the song, and it is definitely cute, especially when he giggles! But most of the song doesnt make sense as far as the lyrics go. Anyway, I would listen to this one once to hear the kids voice.
5. meesaala gOpaalaa... 2.25/5
Udits pronunciation is worse than ever. Udit is singing significant amount of songs in the recent times. One fails to understand what is making Udits pronunciation so horrible. Sri Vardhini did well, however. The music for this one also has a folk-touch to it. The lyrics by Bhashasree try to bring out the nostalgia of the childhood days as they go neeku chinnanaaTi chemmachekka gurtu undaa.... If there is any grace in the song, it is tortured by Udit!

The main attraction of this album is six Music Directors, but those are all not for composing the tunes they each sung a song. Keeravani, Chakri, Devi Sri Prasad, RP Patnaik, Vandemataram and Srilekha each shared a song. Vandemataram gave an average to below average tunes and Dasari Lyrics for four songs are also not much impressive. Taidala Bapu & Ashok Teja also gave average lyrics for their limit of one song. In Playback Singers RP Patnaik, Devi Sri Prasad & Swarnalatha were good in their songs. Adugu Adugani, Soundaryama were the best picks of the album followed by Thannulu Thinte.
Soundaryama (Keeravani, Usha): Vandemataram has given a good melodious tune for the love duet. Keeravani also sings well and balanced. Usha's tone suited well to the song but she hasnt done a good job in the second stanza, her humming at the starting of the song was breezy. Lyrics by Dasari were good, but have less profound. Background beats and interludes are good and suited well to the mood of the song.
Bus Ekkithe (Chakri): The concept of the song is not convincible asking a ticket for Love by comparing Love with other things like Bus, Train etc. But the song attracts with different Lyrics, tune and Tone of the singer. Lyrics in the second stanza were not convincible and good. But Taidala Bapu has given the needed lyrics for the song. Chakri was the right choice of the song and he did well. Background beats and Interludes are not much good.
Aaku Chaatu Pindelam (Radhika, Sudharani): An average song, probably that was picturised on Shakeela and some others. Pallavi tune is good and singer also sang well. But they werent good after the first stanza. Pronunciation of the words by the singers is bad, some lyrics even were not able to hear. Most of the beats and tune is copied from some other songs, the tune of the words Tayyam Tattuyyam is from the song Nooziveedu Sonia from Avunu Valliddaru Ishtapaddaru. Lyrics by Shuddala Ashok Teja were just average. The impression of this vulgar song depends on the picturisation of the song, probably.
Thannulu Thinte (Devi Sri Prasad, Swarnalatha): Devi Sri Prasad & Swarnalatha were the right choice of the song, they have done a nice job. Lyrics were the highlight of the song. Dasari had given different and funny lyrics for the love song in the style of Chandrabose. The lines of Pallavi tannulu tinte tinnanu gaani junnu lanti kanne pilla vennelaga notikandindi, tippalu padite paddanu kaani laddu lanti buddi gaadu jiddu laaga antukunandu were funny. Tune and interluders are not freshy.
Adugu Adugani (RP Patnaik, Nishma): Tune is melodious but not much impressive. RP Patnaik & Nishma both had done a good job and their voice is good when singing the words Adugumari, Telupumari, Cheppumari, Emitadi and they sings well. Lyrics by Dasari are average.
Oyi Entoy (Vandemataram Srinivas, Sri Lekha): Tune and Lyrics are just average. Srilekha tone suited well to the song and she did a good job. Vandemataram also did an average job. Lyrics by Dasari werent impressive. Background beats and Interludes also not much impressive.

Chitram Movies
Jai
Producer: Teja
Director: Teja
Music Director: Anoop
Audio Rights: Sohan Music
Lyrics: Kulasekhar
Playback: Anoop, Tippu & Master Manu (1); Shreya Ghosal (2); Anoop & Usha (3); Tippu (4); Baby Pretty & N. Sreenivas (5); Mallikharjun & Chitra (6); Sumangali (7); Lalitha & Chorus (8).
Rating: 3.5/5
Summary:
Teja promotes Patnaik's keyboarder Anoop to score music for this prestigious project. Anoop, who comes from behind the scenes - the orchestra, arranged his orchestra efficiently. The choice of singers is appreciable, but the need for the variety of voices he uses cannot be commented so early. Now, is he going to take Patnaik's stride in singing a few songs that he composes? Though he doesn't sound bad as a singer (not very great either!), a music director playing back his own compositions generally proves to be fatal, particularly in these days. Kulasekhar's lyrics need appreciation! The songs may take some time to impress the audience, like the earlier music hit in this banner jayam. (There's no equation or comparison here with the music of jayam!)
Playback
Lyric
Tune/Interlude/BGM
Dhama Dhama Dhama DOlu koTTu... (jai jai jai...) (Duration: 4:35 minutes) (Rating: 3.75/5)
After Patnaik two-timing as the music director and singer in Teja's movies, it seems to be Anoop's turn now! He does an okay job as a singer. Tippu now sings in Telugu better than most native singers! The child's voice is also very suitable and appreciably active. All the voices suit the mood of the song. This is a funny lyric written for flirting guys. Kulasekhar writes a very catchy and meaningful lyric. This can be quoted as one of his good lyrics. The theme, tune, lyric to some extent, and even the singing style reminds of R.P.'s "erra gulaabI tallO peTTukunnaadi..." (sambaram) though singers differ. The beat is suitable for the mood of the song.
enni aaSalO chinni gunDe lOna... (Duration: 4:37 minutes) (Rating: 3.75/5)
Shreya sings this melody with a commendable voice modulation and expression. However, her pronunciation of certain letters like the Sa in the word aaSa, dha in the word baadha, etc. should have been rectified. This seems to be a heroine introduction song, and is aesthetically penned. The song seems to be typically set to a situation where the heroine sings about her heart while thinking about her love. The lead music, along with the humming, sets the mood of this sensuous female solo. The orchestration sounds very familiar and so does the tune, but the song leaves a resonating impression on the audience.
O manasaa O manasaa... (Duration: 4:40 minutes) (Rating: 2.5/5)
Usha does a neat job like always. Anoop's voice might not suit melodies, and seems to be influenced by certain other singers. His rendition in this song is passable. This is a just-fallen-in-love kind of duet penned in a clichd manner. The use of English words like "support", "doubt" seem unnatural choices at those places. The lead music surprises the first time listener because the song header suggests a smooth melody whereas this song is actually a western-styled beat-based number! The orchestra has a bit of everything, making the song a mixture of folk, new-age, western, and classical styles.
One two three... (Duration: 4:56 minutes) (Rating: 3/5)
Tippu modulates his voice as necessitated by this western-styled "number". The lyric is innovative, and tells the importance of numbers in daily life, and also has satirical lines like "egirE flight ki O number, munigE bus ki O number". Anoop tries to bring a fusion of western tune and orchestration and Indian classical music in the interludes.
dESam manadE... (vandE maataram...) (Duration: 4:11 minutes) (Rating: 3/5)
Baby Pretty sings well, but suffers exactly the pronunciation defects as Shreya does in song #2, but this flaw has become too common these days even by adults, thanks to the influence of Hindi on our lives. Sreenivas adds his voice only to a part of the song. The song is patriotic in its theme but does not go aggressive. The song raises the voice of unity among Indians. vinaraa vinaraa... (Roja) has influenced many songs of this genre in the aspects of tune, orchestration in interludes and BGM, and chorus effects. This song is no exception. Nevertheless, this song is worth listening, particularly the audience who like such songs might not want to miss this.
nee kannullO... (nee kOsamE...) (Duration: 5:19 minutes) (Rating: 3.75/5)
Mallikharjun proves himself again with this soothing pathos number. Chitra needs no particular critique today, she is just great. Both signers instill audience's emotions. This song probably comes towards the climax of the movie, (or) when the lead pair is separated by unavoidable circumstances. The BGM sometimes dominates the vocals. The tune is impressive. The song comes with orchestration and interludes that are worth mentioning.
naa chEtilOna... (Duration: 2:56 minutes) (Rating: 3.5/5)
Sumangali's voice sounds unnecessarily young, if it is for the heroine (which seems obvious from the lyric)! The smooth gliding of notes (gamaka) at places sounds beautiful in this bit song. This is a song of the heroine singing for the hero, asking him lovingly to stay with her forever. The lalalaa... humming reminds of "machilIpatnam maaviDi chigurulO..." (merupu kalalu). Interludes sound good.
chuTTammO chuTTa aNaa... (Duration: 3:49 minutes) (Rating: 3.25/5)
Lalitha's voice is very different and suits the folk-like mood of the song. The male voice (Anoop?) doesn't seem to be credited in the audio. This song, interestingly, about cigars, or more familiarly, about chuTTa. The lyric also goes ahead to explain how a chuTTa is typically rolled. The lyric is good, but lacks catchiness. The beat, tune, and orchestration for this song go by the country-based folk-like theme. However, the words are not catchy and thus this song might not move up the charts much.

Rating: 4.25/5
Summary:
DeviSri Prasad comes up with songs that can be elevated by visuals, but also can stand by themselves. Most numbers are mass-oriented and he uses his orchestra deftly to create the moods for the songs. Particular mention of the lyrics is surely necessary for this album. Seetarama Sastry penned all the lyrics and adds another 'single-card' to his credit. What is worth mentioning is his rendition of mass-oriented songs in a freely flowing, catchy manner using simple words and some words that are getting extinct, so to say! However, his typical style does not miss in any lyric - his wordplay, expressions, similes, rhyme, etc. stay the same but only change their orientation! Choice of singers sometimes seemed unreasonable - that is the only major shortcoming I should say, if I have to pick one! Also, DeviSri should see that his orchestration does not get routine.

The theme, tune, lyric to some extent, and even the singing style reminds of R.P.'s "erra gulaabI tallO peTTukunnaadi..." (sambaram) though singers differ. The beat is suitable for the mood of the song.
enni aaSalO chinni gunDe lOna... (Duration: 4:37 minutes) (Rating: 3.75/5)
Shreya sings this melody with a commendable voice modulation and expression. However, her pronunciation of certain letters like the Sa in the word aaSa, dha in the word baadha, etc. should have been rectified. This seems to be a heroine introduction song, and is aesthetically penned. The song seems to be typically set to a situation where the heroine sings about her heart while thinking about her love. The lead music, along with the humming, sets the mood of this sensuous female solo. The orchestration sounds very familiar and so does the tune, but the song leaves a resonating impression on the audience.
O manasaa O manasaa... (Duration: 4:40 minutes) (Rating: 2.5/5)
Usha does a neat job like always. Anoop's voice might not suit melodies, and seems to be influenced by certain other singers. His rendition in this song is passable. This is a just-fallen-in-love kind of duet penned in a clichd manner. The use of English words like "support", "doubt" seem unnatural choices at those places. The lead music surprises the first time listener because the song header suggests a smooth melody whereas this song is actually a western-styled beat-based number! The orchestra has a bit of everything, making the song a mixture of folk, new-age, western, and classical styles.
One two three... (Duration: 4:56 minutes) (Rating: 3/5)
Tippu modulates his voice as necessitated by this western-styled "number". The lyric is innovative, and tells the importance of numbers in daily life, and also has satirical lines like "egirE flight ki O number, munigE bus ki O number". Anoop tries to bring a fusion of western tune and orchestration and Indian classical music in the interludes.
dESam manadE... (vandE maataram...) (Duration: 4:11 minutes) (Rating: 3/5)
Baby Pretty sings well, but suffers exactly the pronunciation defects as Shreya does in song #2, but this flaw has become too common these days even by adults, thanks to the influence of Hindi on our lives. Sreenivas adds his voice only to a part of the song. The song is patriotic in its theme but does not go aggressive. The song raises the voice of unity among Indians. vinaraa vinaraa... (Roja) has influenced many songs of this genre in the aspects of tune, orchestration in interludes and BGM, and chorus effects. This song is no exception. Nevertheless, this song is worth listening, particularly the audience who like such songs might not want to miss this.
nee kannullO... (nee kOsamE...) (Duration: 5:19 minutes) (Rating: 3.75/5)
Mallikharjun proves himself again with this soothing pathos number. Chitra needs no particular critique today, she is just great. Both signers instill audience's emotions. This song probably comes towards the climax of the movie, (or) when the lead pair is separated by unavoidable circumstances. The BGM sometimes dominates the vocals. The tune is impressive. The song comes with orchestration and interludes that are worth mentioning.
naa chEtilOna... (Duration: 2:56 minutes) (Rating: 3.5/5)
Sumangali's voice sounds unnecessarily young, if it is for the heroine (which seems obvious from the lyric)! The smooth gliding of notes (gamaka) at places sounds beautiful in this bit song. This is a song of the heroine singing for the hero, asking him lovingly to stay with her forever. The lalalaa... humming reminds of "machilIpatnam maaviDi chigurulO..." (merupu kalalu). Interludes sound good.
chuTTammO chuTTa aNaa... (Duration: 3:49 minutes) (Rating: 3.25/5)
Lalitha's voice is very different and suits the folk-like mood of the song. The male voice (Anoop?) doesn't seem to be credited in the audio. This song, interestingly, about cigars, or more familiarly, about chuTTa. The lyric also goes ahead to explain how a chuTTa is typically rolled. The lyric is good, but lacks catchiness. The beat, tune, and orchestration for this song go by the country-based folk-like theme. However, the words are not catchy and thus this song might not move up the charts much.

Playback: Kalpana, Chitra & Raqeeb Alam (1), S. P. Charan & Sumangali (2), Tippu & Usha (3), Mallikharjun & Kalpana (4), Karthik & Shreya Ghosal (5), Sagar & Sumangali (6), Adnan Sami & Sunita Rao (7)
Rating: 4.25/5
Summary:
DeviSri Prasad comes up with songs that can be elevated by visuals, but also can stand by themselves. Most numbers are mass-oriented and he uses his orchestra deftly to create the moods for the songs. Particular mention of the lyrics is surely necessary for this album. Seetarama Sastry penned all the lyrics and adds another 'single-card' to his credit. What is worth mentioning is his rendition of mass-oriented songs in a freely flowing, catchy manner using simple words and some words that are getting extinct, so to say! However, his typical style does not miss in any lyric - his wordplay, expressions, similes, rhyme, etc. stay the same but only change their orientation! Choice of singers sometimes seemed unreasonable - that is the only major shortcoming I should say, if I have to pick one! Also, DeviSri should see that his orchestration does not get routine.

Goodwill Cinema
dongODu meesam melEsaaDaa antE!
Lead Cast: Raviteja, Kalyani, Rekha
Director: Bheemineni Sreenivasa Rao
Producer: Rushita Sai (Bheemineni Sreenivasa Rao presents)
Music: Vidyasagar
Audio Rights: Aditya Music
Lyrics: Chandra Bose (1); Seetarama Sastry (2, 3); Bhashasree (4, 5).
Playback: Shankar Mahadevan & Rimmi Tommy (1); Valisha Babji & Chitra (2); Hariharan & Sujatha (3); Karthik & Swarnalatha (4); Udit Narayan & Sreevardhini (5).
Overall Rating: 2.25/5
Summary:
When a song had lyrics like paalalO perugundOy, naa paiTalO baruvundOy..., it'll tell you something about the entire album. The lyrics such as those above and bad music combined together becomes unbearable. Vidyasagar scored music for Telugu movies like vaddu baavaa! tappu and made no impression among the Telugu audience earlier, but still made his mark further down south in Tamil/Malayalam movies. He recently shared the credit of being a music director for naaga but this movie did not bring him numerous chances to prove his skill in Tollywood. The movie under discussion doesn't make his position any better, and probably might make it worse.
1. kODi mundaa, guDDu mundaa... 1.5/5
Coming to the technical field, the music is too loud and it overtakes the singers voices. Shankar Mahadevan and Rimmi Tommy did okay but not good. But I dont blame them. How can they possibly express their talent in a song that goes kODi mundaa, guDDu mundaa, cheppukOvE konTe paapaa kOka mundaa, raika mundaa, cheppukOvoy chanTi baabU...! The master behind these lyrics is none other than Chandra Bose. As you can see, the description of the song is not any where near the word "good".
2. Dum Dum Dum... 3.5/5
The loudness of the music, which is caused by the usage of drums in this particular song, made this song a bit attractive. The first few lines of the charaNam-s are soft with any light music. Babji and Chitra did really well. Seetarama Sastry penned lyrics really well working with the theme of peLLi, where bride and grooms friends exchange retorts at each other. Brides friend sings veelu choosi nee vaalujaDaki pani cheppu jaali paDaka, gaalamEsi nee moguDi kaaLLu kaTTeyi kadalaneeka and the grooms friend snaps back with his lines.
3. enta pani chEsindE prEma... 3.25/5
The song starts off by the little words like ayyo.. vadulu... pOraa by the female lead. Now you know the situation of the song! Hariharan and Sujatha did well. There is nothing unique to mention about the music except the flute piece in the interlude. Seetarama Sastry penned nice lyrics like nuvvU nEnU puTTaka mundE vraasundE ee bandham.... Its worth listening for the lyrics.
4. soTTa buggala rukkumiNi... 2.5/5
The lyrics by Bhashasree take off as soTTa buggala rukkumiNi, piTTa sogasulEsukuni, gaTTu daaTi oopukunTU pOtE Music is okay and it has a folk touch to it. Karthik did a good job with pronunciation and Sujatha accompanied him well. A kids voice pops up in the middle of the song, and it is definitely cute, especially when he giggles! But most of the song doesnt make sense as far as the lyrics go. Anyway, I would listen to this one once to hear the kids voice.
5. meesaala gOpaalaa... 2.25/5
Udits pronunciation is worse than ever. Udit is singing significant amount of songs in the recent times. One fails to understand what is making Udits pronunciation so horrible. Sri Vardhini did well, however. The music for this one also has a folk-touch to it. The lyrics by Bhashasree try to bring out the nostalgia of the childhood days as they go neeku chinnanaaTi chemmachekka gurtu undaa.... If there is any grace in the song, it is tortured by Udit!

The main attraction of this album is six Music Directors, but those are all not for composing the tunes they each sung a song. Keeravani, Chakri, Devi Sri Prasad, RP Patnaik, Vandemataram and Srilekha each shared a song. Vandemataram gave an average to below average tunes and Dasari Lyrics for four songs are also not much impressive. Taidala Bapu & Ashok Teja also gave average lyrics for their limit of one song. In Playback Singers RP Patnaik, Devi Sri Prasad & Swarnalatha were good in their songs. Adugu Adugani, Soundaryama were the best picks of the album followed by Thannulu Thinte.
Soundaryama (Keeravani, Usha): Vandemataram has given a good melodious tune for the love duet. Keeravani also sings well and balanced. Usha's tone suited well to the song but she hasnt done a good job in the second stanza, her humming at the starting of the song was breezy. Lyrics by Dasari were good, but have less profound. Background beats and interludes are good and suited well to the mood of the song.
Bus Ekkithe (Chakri): The concept of the song is not convincible asking a ticket for Love by comparing Love with other things like Bus, Train etc. But the song attracts with different Lyrics, tune and Tone of the singer. Lyrics in the second stanza were not convincible and good. But Taidala Bapu has given the needed lyrics for the song. Chakri was the right choice of the song and he did well. Background beats and Interludes are not much good.
Aaku Chaatu Pindelam (Radhika, Sudharani): An average song, probably that was picturised on Shakeela and some others. Pallavi tune is good and singer also sang well. But they werent good after the first stanza. Pronunciation of the words by the singers is bad, some lyrics even were not able to hear. Most of the beats and tune is copied from some other songs, the tune of the words Tayyam Tattuyyam is from the song Nooziveedu Sonia from Avunu Valliddaru Ishtapaddaru. Lyrics by Shuddala Ashok Teja were just average. The impression of this vulgar song depends on the picturisation of the song, probably.
Thannulu Thinte (Devi Sri Prasad, Swarnalatha): Devi Sri Prasad & Swarnalatha were the right choice of the song, they have done a nice job. Lyrics were the highlight of the song. Dasari had given different and funny lyrics for the love song in the style of Chandrabose. The lines of Pallavi tannulu tinte tinnanu gaani junnu lanti kanne pilla vennelaga notikandindi, tippalu padite paddanu kaani laddu lanti buddi gaadu jiddu laaga antukunandu were funny. Tune and interluders are not freshy.
Adugu Adugani (RP Patnaik, Nishma): Tune is melodious but not much impressive. RP Patnaik & Nishma both had done a good job and their voice is good when singing the words Adugumari, Telupumari, Cheppumari, Emitadi and they sings well. Lyrics by Dasari are average.
Oyi Entoy (Vandemataram Srinivas, Sri Lekha): Tune and Lyrics are just average. Srilekha tone suited well to the song and she did a good job. Vandemataram also did an average job. Lyrics by Dasari werent impressive. Background beats and Interludes also not much impressive.

Rating: 3.5/5
Summary:
Teja promotes Patnaik's keyboarder Anoop to score music for this prestigious project. Anoop, who comes from behind the scenes - the orchestra, arranged his orchestra efficiently. The choice of singers is appreciable, but the need for the variety of voices he uses cannot be commented so early. Now, is he going to take Patnaik's stride in singing a few songs that he composes? Though he doesn't sound bad as a singer (not very great either!), a music director playing back his own compositions generally proves to be fatal, particularly in these days. Kulasekhar's lyrics need appreciation! The songs may take some time to impress the audience, like the earlier music hit in this banner jayam. (There's no equation or comparison here with the music of jayam!)
Playback
Lyric
Tune/Interlude/BGM
Dhama Dhama Dhama DOlu koTTu... (jai jai jai...) (Duration: 4:35 minutes) (Rating: 3.75/5)
After Patnaik two-timing as the music director and singer in Teja's movies, it seems to be Anoop's turn now! He does an okay job as a singer. Tippu now sings in Telugu better than most native singers! The child's voice is also very suitable and appreciably active. All the voices suit the mood of the song. This is a funny lyric written for flirting guys. Kulasekhar writes a very catchy and meaningful lyric. This can be quoted as one of his good lyrics. The theme, tune, lyric to some extent, and even the singing style reminds of R.P.'s "erra gulaabI tallO peTTukunnaadi..." (sambaram) though singers differ. The beat is suitable for the mood of the song.

Anoop tries to bring a fusion of western tune and orchestration and Indian classical music in the interludes.

1. kODi mundaa, guDDu mundaa... 1.5/5
Coming to the technical field, the music is too loud and it overtakes the singers voices. Shankar Mahadevan and Rimmi Tommy did okay but not good. But I dont blame them. How can they possibly express their talent in a song that goes kODi mundaa, guDDu mundaa, cheppukOvE konTe paapaa kOka mundaa, raika mundaa, cheppukOvoy chanTi baabU...! The master behind these lyrics is none other than Chandra Bose. As you can see, the description of the song is not any where near the word "good".
2. Dum Dum Dum... 3.5/5
The loudness of the music, which is caused by the usage of drums in this particular song, made this song a bit attractive. The first few lines of the charaNam-s are soft with any light music. Babji and Chitra did really well. Seetarama Sastry penned lyrics really well working with the theme of peLLi, where bride and grooms friends exchange retorts at each other. Brides friend sings veelu choosi nee vaalujaDaki pani cheppu jaali paDaka, gaalamEsi nee moguDi kaaLLu kaTTeyi kadalaneeka and the grooms friend snaps back with his lines.
3. enta pani chEsindE prEma... 3.25/5
The song starts off by the little words like ayyo.. vadulu... pOraa by the female lead. Now you know the situation of the song! Hariharan and Sujatha did well. There is nothing unique to mention about the music except the flute piece in the interlude. Seetarama Sastry penned nice lyrics like nuvvU nEnU puTTaka mundE vraasundE ee bandham.... Its worth listening for the lyrics.
4. soTTa buggala rukkumiNi... 2.5/5
The lyrics by Bhashasree take off as soTTa buggala rukkumiNi, piTTa sogasulEsukuni, gaTTu daaTi oopukunTU pOtE Music is okay and it has a folk touch to it. Karthik did a good job with pronunciation and Sujatha accompanied him well. A kids voice pops up in the middle of the song, and it is definitely cute, especially when he giggles! But most of the song doesnt make sense as far as the lyrics go. Anyway, I would listen to this one once to hear the kids voice.
5. meesaala gOpaalaa... 2.25/5
Udits pronunciation is worse than ever. Udit is singing significant amount of songs in the recent times. One fails to understand what is making Udits pronunciation so horrible. Sri Vardhini did well, however. The music for this one also has a folk-touch to it. The lyrics by Bhashasree try to bring out the nostalgia of the childhood days as they go neeku chinnanaaTi chemmachekka gurtu undaa.... If there is any grace in the song, it is tortured by Udit!

The main attraction of this album is six Music Directors, but those are all not for composing the tunes they each sung a song. Keeravani, Chakri, Devi Sri Prasad, RP Patnaik, Vandemataram and Srilekha each shared a song. Vandemataram gave an average to below average tunes and Dasari Lyrics for four songs are also not much impressive. Taidala Bapu & Ashok Teja also gave average lyrics for their limit of one song. In Playback Singers RP Patnaik, Devi Sri Prasad & Swarnalatha were good in their songs. Adugu Adugani, Soundaryama were the best picks of the album followed by Thannulu Thinte.
Soundaryama (Keeravani, Usha): Vandemataram has given a good melodious tune for the love duet. Keeravani also sings well and balanced. Usha's tone suited well to the song but she hasnt done a good job in the second stanza, her humming at the starting of the song was breezy. Lyrics by Dasari were good, but have less profound. Background beats and interludes are good and suited well to the mood of the song.
Bus Ekkithe (Chakri): The concept of the song is not convincible asking a ticket for Love by comparing Love with other things like Bus, Train etc. But the song attracts with different Lyrics, tune and Tone of the singer. Lyrics in the second stanza were not convincible and good. But Taidala Bapu has given the needed lyrics for the song. Chakri was the right choice of the song and he did well. Background beats and Interludes are not much good.
Aaku Chaatu Pindelam (Radhika, Sudharani): An average song, probably that was picturised on Shakeela and some others. Pallavi tune is good and singer also sang well. But they werent good after the first stanza. Pronunciation of the words by the singers is bad, some lyrics even were not able to hear. Most of the beats and tune is copied from some other songs, the tune of the words Tayyam Tattuyyam is from the song Nooziveedu Sonia from Avunu Valliddaru Ishtapaddaru. Lyrics by Shuddala Ashok Teja were just average. The impression of this vulgar song depends on the picturisation of the song, probably.
Thannulu Thinte (Devi Sri Prasad, Swarnalatha): Devi Sri Prasad & Swarnalatha were the right choice of the song, they have done a nice job. Lyrics were the highlight of the song. Dasari had given different and funny lyrics for the love song in the style of Chandrabose. The lines of Pallavi tannulu tinte tinnanu gaani junnu lanti kanne pilla vennelaga notikandindi, tippalu padite paddanu kaani laddu lanti buddi gaadu jiddu laaga antukunandu were funny. Tune and interluders are not freshy.
Adugu Adugani (RP Patnaik, Nishma): Tune is melodious but not much impressive. RP Patnaik & Nishma both had done a good job and their voice is good when singing the words Adugumari, Telupumari, Cheppumari, Emitadi and they sings well. Lyrics by Dasari are average.
Oyi Entoy (Vandemataram Srinivas, Sri Lekha): Tune and Lyrics are just average. Srilekha tone suited well to the song and she did a good job. Vandemataram also did an average job. Lyrics by Dasari werent impressive. Background beats and Interludes also not much impressive.

Chitram Movies
Jai
Producer: Teja
Director: Teja
Music Director: Anoop
Audio Rights: Sohan Music
Lyrics: Kulasekhar
Playback: Anoop, Tippu & Master Manu (1); Shreya Ghosal (2); Anoop & Usha (3); Tippu (4); Baby Pretty & N. Sreenivas (5); Mallikharjun & Chitra (6); Sumangali (7); Lalitha & Chorus (8).
Rating: 3.5/5
Summary:
Teja promotes Patnaik's keyboarder Anoop to score music for this prestigious project. Anoop, who comes from behind the scenes - the orchestra, arranged his orchestra efficiently. The choice of singers is appreciable, but the need for the variety of voices he uses cannot be commented so early. Now, is he going to take Patnaik's stride in singing a few songs that he composes? Though he doesn't sound bad as a singer (not very great either!), a music director playing back his own compositions generally proves to be fatal, particularly in these days. Kulasekhar's lyrics need appreciation! The songs may take some time to impress the audience, like the earlier music hit in this banner jayam. (There's no equation or comparison here with the music of jayam!)
Playback
Lyric
Tune/Interlude/BGM
Dhama Dhama Dhama DOlu koTTu... (jai jai jai...) (Duration: 4:35 minutes) (Rating: 3.75/5)
After Patnaik two-timing as the music director and singer in Teja's movies, it seems to be Anoop's turn now! He does an okay job as a singer. Tippu now sings in Telugu better than most native singers! The child's voice is also very suitable and appreciably active. All the voices suit the mood of the song. This is a funny lyric written for flirting guys. Kulasekhar writes a very catchy and meaningful lyric. This can be quoted as one of his good lyrics. The theme, tune, lyric to some extent, and even the singing style reminds of R.P.'s "erra gulaabI tallO peTTukunnaadi..." (sambaram) though singers differ. The beat is suitable for the mood of the song.
enni aaSalO chinni gunDe lOna... (Duration: 4:37 minutes) (Rating: 3.75/5)
Shreya sings this melody with a commendable voice modulation and expression. However, her pronunciation of certain letters like the Sa in the word aaSa, dha in the word baadha, etc. should have been rectified. This seems to be a heroine introduction song, and is aesthetically penned. The song seems to be typically set to a situation where the heroine sings about her heart while thinking about her love. The lead music, along with the humming, sets the mood of this sensuous female solo. The orchestration sounds very familiar and so does the tune, but the song leaves a resonating impression on the audience.
O manasaa O manasaa... (Duration: 4:40 minutes) (Rating: 2.5/5)
Usha does a neat job like always. Anoop's voice might not suit melodies, and seems to be influenced by certain other singers. His rendition in this song is passable. This is a just-fallen-in-love kind of duet penned in a clichd manner. The use of English words like "support", "doubt" seem unnatural choices at those places. The lead music surprises the first time listener because the song header suggests a smooth melody whereas this song is actually a western-styled beat-based number! The orchestra has a bit of everything, making the song a mixture of folk, new-age, western, and classical styles.
One two three... (Duration: 4:56 minutes) (Rating: 3/5)
Tippu modulates his voice as necessitated by this western-styled "number". The lyric is innovative, and tells the importance of numbers in daily life, and also has satirical lines like "egirE flight ki O number, munigE bus ki O number". Anoop tries to bring a fusion of western tune and orchestration and Indian classical music in the interludes.
dESam manadE... (vandE maataram...) (Duration: 4:11 minutes) (Rating: 3/5)
Baby Pretty sings well, but suffers exactly the pronunciation defects as Shreya does in song #2, but this flaw has become too common these days even by adults, thanks to the influence of Hindi on our lives. Sreenivas adds his voice only to a part of the song. The song is patriotic in its theme but does not go aggressive. The song raises the voice of unity among Indians. vinaraa vinaraa... (Roja) has influenced many songs of this genre in the aspects of tune, orchestration in interludes and BGM, and chorus effects. This song is no exception. Nevertheless, this song is worth listening, particularly the audience who like such songs might not want to miss this.
nee kannullO... (nee kOsamE...) (Duration: 5:19 minutes) (Rating: 3.75/5)
Mallikharjun proves himself again with this soothing pathos number. Chitra needs no particular critique today, she is just great. Both signers instill audience's emotions. This song probably comes towards the climax of the movie, (or) when the lead pair is separated by unavoidable circumstances. The BGM sometimes dominates the vocals. The tune is impressive. The song comes with orchestration and interludes that are worth mentioning.
naa chEtilOna... (Duration: 2:56 minutes) (Rating: 3.5/5)
Sumangali's voice sounds unnecessarily young, if it is for the heroine (which seems obvious from the lyric)! The smooth gliding of notes (gamaka) at places sounds beautiful in this bit song. This is a song of the heroine singing for the hero, asking him lovingly to stay with her forever. The lalalaa... humming reminds of "machilIpatnam maaviDi chigurulO..." (merupu kalalu). Interludes sound good.
chuTTammO chuTTa aNaa... (Duration: 3:49 minutes) (Rating: 3.25/5)
Lalitha's voice is very different and suits the folk-like mood of the song. The male voice (Anoop?) doesn't seem to be credited in the audio. This song, interestingly, about cigars, or more familiarly, about chuTTa. The lyric also goes ahead to explain how a chuTTa is typically rolled. The lyric is good, but lacks catchiness. The beat, tune, and orchestration for this song go by the country-based folk-like theme. However, the words are not catchy and thus this song might not move up the charts much.

Producer: M. S. Raju
Director: Sobhan
Music Director: DeviSri Prasad

Lyrics: sirivennela Seetarama Sastry
Playback: Kalpana, Chitra & Raqeeb Alam (1), S. P. Charan & Sumangali (2), Tippu & Usha (3), Mallikharjun & Kalpana (4), Karthik & Shreya Ghosal (5), Sagar & Sumangali (6), Adnan Sami & Sunita Rao (7)
Rating: 4.25/5
Summary:
DeviSri Prasad comes up with songs that can be elevated by visuals, but also can stand by themselves. Most numbers are mass-oriented and he uses his orchestra deftly to create the moods for the songs. Particular mention of the lyrics is surely necessary for this album. Seetarama Sastry penned all the lyrics and adds another 'single-card' to his credit. What is worth mentioning is his rendition of mass-oriented songs in a freely flowing, catchy manner using simple words and some words that are getting extinct, so to say! However, his typical style does not miss in any lyric - his wordplay, expressions, similes, rhyme, etc. stay the same but only change their orientation! Choice of singers sometimes seemed unreasonable - that is the only major shortcoming I should say, if I have to pick one! Also, DeviSri should see that his orchestration does not get routine.

Overall Rating: 2.25/5
Summary:
When a song had lyrics like paalalO perugundOy, naa paiTalO baruvundOy..., it'll tell you something about the entire album. The lyrics such as those above and bad music combined together becomes unbearable. Vidyasagar scored music for Telugu movies like vaddu baavaa! tappu and made no impression among the Telugu audience earlier, but still made his mark further down south in Tamil/Malayalam movies. He recently shared the credit of being a music director for naaga but this movie did not bring him numerous chances to prove his skill in Tollywood. The movie under discussion doesn't make his position any better, and probably might make it worse.
1. kODi mundaa, guDDu mundaa... 1.5/5
Coming to the technical field, the music is too loud and it overtakes the singers voices. Shankar Mahadevan and Rimmi Tommy did okay but not good. But I dont blame them. How can they possibly express their talent in a song that goes kODi mundaa, guDDu mundaa, cheppukOvE konTe paapaa kOka mundaa, raika mundaa, cheppukOvoy chanTi baabU...!

Babji and Chitra did really well. Seetarama Sastry penned lyrics really well working with the theme of peLLi, where bride and grooms friends exchange retorts at each other. Brides friend sings veelu choosi nee vaalujaDaki pani cheppu jaali paDaka, gaalamEsi nee moguDi kaaLLu kaTTeyi kadalaneeka and the grooms friend snaps back with his lines.
3. enta pani chEsindE prEma... 3.25/5
The song starts off by the little words like ayyo.. vadulu... pOraa by the female lead. Now you know the situation of the song! Hariharan and Sujatha did well. There is nothing unique to mention about the music except the flute piece in the interlude. Seetarama Sastry penned nice lyrics like nuvvU nEnU puTTaka mundE vraasundE ee bandham.... Its worth listening for the lyrics.
4. soTTa buggala rukkumiNi... 2.5/5
The lyrics by Bhashasree take off as soTTa buggala rukkumiNi, piTTa sogasulEsukuni, gaTTu daaTi oopukunTU pOtE Music is okay and it has a folk touch to it. Karthik did a good job with pronunciation and Sujatha accompanied him well. A kids voice pops up in the middle of the song, and it is definitely cute, especially when he giggles!

Adugu Adugani (RP Patnaik, Nishma): Tune is melodious but not much impressive. RP Patnaik & Nishma both had done a good job and their voice is good when singing the words Adugumari, Telupumari, Cheppumari, Emitadi and they sings well. Lyrics by Dasari are average.
Oyi Entoy (Vandemataram Srinivas, Sri Lekha): Tune and Lyrics are just average. Srilekha tone suited well to the song and she did a good job. Vandemataram also did an average job. Lyrics by Dasari werent impressive. Background beats and Interludes also not much impressive.

O manasaa O manasaa... (Duration: 4:40 minutes) (Rating: 2.5/5)
Usha does a neat job like always. Anoop's voice might not suit melodies, and seems to be influenced by certain other singers. His rendition in this song is passable. This is a just-fallen-in-love kind of duet penned in a clichd manner. The use of English words like "support", "doubt" seem unnatural choices at those places. The lead music surprises the first time listener because the song header suggests a smooth melody whereas this song is actually a western-styled beat-based number! The orchestra has a bit of everything, making the song a mixture of folk, new-age, western, and classical styles.
One two three... (Duration: 4:56 minutes) (Rating: 3/5)
Tippu modulates his voice as necessitated by this western-styled "number". The lyric is innovative, and tells the importance of numbers in daily life, and also has satirical lines like "egirE flight ki O number, munigE bus ki O number". Anoop tries to bring a fusion of western tune and orchestration and Indian classical music in the interludes.
dESam manadE... (vandE maataram...) (Duration: 4:11 minutes) (Rating: 3/5)
Baby Pretty sings well, but suffers exactly the pronunciation defects as Shreya does in song #2, but this flaw has become too common these days even by adults, thanks to the influence of Hindi on our lives. Sreenivas adds his voice only to a part of the song. The song is patriotic in its theme but does not go aggressive. The song raises the voice of unity among Indians. vinaraa vinaraa... (Roja) has influenced many songs of this genre in the aspects of tune, orchestration in interludes and BGM, and chorus effects. This song is no exception. Nevertheless, this song is worth listening, particularly the audience who like such songs might not want to miss this.
nee kannullO... (nee kOsamE...) (Duration: 5:19 minutes) (Rating: 3.75/5)
Mallikharjun proves himself again with this soothing pathos number. Chitra needs no particular critique today, she is just great. Both signers instill audience's emotions. This song probably comes towards the climax of the movie, (or) when the lead pair is separated by unavoidable circumstances. The BGM sometimes dominates the vocals. The tune is impressive. The song comes with orchestration and interludes that are worth mentioning.
naa chEtilOna... (Duration: 2:56 minutes) (Rating: 3.5/5)
Sumangali's voice sounds unnecessarily young, if it is for the heroine (which seems obvious from the lyric)! The smooth gliding of notes (gamaka) at places sounds beautiful in this bit song. This is a song of the heroine singing for the hero, asking him lovingly to stay with her forever. The lalalaa... humming reminds of "machilIpatnam maaviDi chigurulO..." (merupu kalalu). Interludes sound good.
chuTTammO chuTTa aNaa... (Duration: 3:49 minutes) (Rating: 3.25/5)
Lalitha's voice is very different and suits the folk-like mood of the song. The male voice (Anoop?) doesn't seem to be credited in the audio. This song, interestingly, about cigars, or more familiarly, about chuTTa. The lyric also goes ahead to explain how a chuTTa is typically rolled. The lyric is good, but lacks catchiness. The beat, tune, and orchestration for this song go by the country-based folk-like theme. However, the words are not catchy and thus this song might not move up the charts much.

Producer: M. S. Raju

Music Director: DeviSri Prasad

Lyrics: sirivennela Seetarama Sastry
Playback: Kalpana, Chitra & Raqeeb Alam (1), S. P. Charan & Sumangali (2), Tippu & Usha (3), Mallikharjun & Kalpana (4), Karthik & Shreya Ghosal (5), Sagar & Sumangali (6), Adnan Sami & Sunita Rao (7)
Rating: 4.25/5
Summary:
DeviSri Prasad comes up with songs that can be elevated by visuals, but also can stand by themselves. Most numbers are mass-oriented and he uses his orchestra deftly to create the moods for the songs. Particular mention of the lyrics is surely necessary for this album. Seetarama Sastry penned all the lyrics and adds another 'single-card' to his credit. What is worth mentioning is his rendition of mass-oriented songs in a freely flowing, catchy manner using simple words and some words that are getting extinct, so to say! However, his typical style does not miss in any lyric - his wordplay, expressions, similes, rhyme, etc. stay the same but only change their orientation! Choice of singers sometimes seemed unreasonable - that is the only major shortcoming I should say, if I have to pick one! Also, DeviSri should see that his orchestration does not get routine.

Director: Bheemineni Sreenivasa Rao
Producer: Rushita Sai (Bheemineni Sreenivasa Rao presents)
Music: Vidyasagar
Audio Rights: Aditya Music
Lyrics: Chandra Bose (1); Seetarama Sastry (2, 3); Bhashasree (4, 5).
Playback: Shankar Mahadevan & Rimmi Tommy (1); Valisha Babji & Chitra (2); Hariharan & Sujatha (3); Karthik & Swarnalatha (4); Udit Narayan & Sreevardhini (5).
Overall Rating: 2.25/5
Summary:
When a song had lyrics like paalalO perugundOy, naa paiTalO baruvundOy..., it'll tell you something about the entire album. The lyrics such as those above and bad music combined together becomes unbearable. Vidyasagar scored music for Telugu movies like vaddu baavaa! tappu and made no impression among the Telugu audience earlier, but still made his mark further down south in Tamil/Malayalam movies. He recently shared the credit of being a music director for naaga but this movie did not bring him numerous chances to prove his skill in Tollywood. The movie under discussion doesn't make his position any better, and probably might make it worse.
1. kODi mundaa, guDDu mundaa... 1.5/5
Coming to the technical field, the music is too loud and it overtakes the singers voices. Shankar Mahadevan and Rimmi Tommy did okay but not good. But I dont blame them. How can they possibly express their talent in a song that goes kODi mundaa, guDDu mundaa, cheppukOvE konTe paapaa kOka mundaa, raika mundaa, cheppukOvoy chanTi baabU...! The master behind these lyrics is none other than Chandra Bose. As you can see, the description of the song is not any where near the word "good".
2. Dum Dum Dum... 3.5/5
The loudness of the music, which is caused by the usage of drums in this particular song, made this song a bit attractive. The first few lines of the charaNam-s are soft with any light music. Babji and Chitra did really well. Seetarama Sastry penned lyrics really well working with the theme of peLLi, where bride and grooms friends exchange retorts at each other. Brides friend sings veelu choosi nee vaalujaDaki pani cheppu jaali paDaka, gaalamEsi nee moguDi kaaLLu kaTTeyi kadalaneeka and the grooms friend snaps back with his lines.
3. enta pani chEsindE prEma... 3.25/5
The song starts off by the little words like ayyo.. vadulu... pOraa by the female lead. Now you know the situation of the song! Hariharan and Sujatha did well. There is nothing unique to mention about the music except the flute piece in the interlude. Seetarama Sastry penned nice lyrics like nuvvU nEnU puTTaka mundE vraasundE ee bandham.... Its worth listening for the lyrics.
4. soTTa buggala rukkumiNi... 2.5/5
The lyrics by Bhashasree take off as soTTa buggala rukkumiNi, piTTa sogasulEsukuni, gaTTu daaTi oopukunTU pOtE Music is okay and it has a folk touch to it. Karthik did a good job with pronunciation and Sujatha accompanied him well. A kids voice pops up in the middle of the song, and it is definitely cute, especially when he giggles! But most of the song doesnt make sense as far as the lyrics go. Anyway, I would listen to this one once to hear the kids voice.
5. meesaala gOpaalaa... 2.25/5
Udits pronunciation is worse than ever. Udit is singing significant amount of songs in the recent times. One fails to understand what is making Udits pronunciation so horrible. Sri Vardhini did well, however. The music for this one also has a folk-touch to it. The lyrics by Bhashasree try to bring out the nostalgia of the childhood days as they go neeku chinnanaaTi chemmachekka gurtu undaa.... If there is any grace in the song, it is tortured by Udit!

The main attraction of this album is six Music Directors, but those are all not for composing the tunes they each sung a song. Keeravani, Chakri, Devi Sri Prasad, RP Patnaik, Vandemataram and Srilekha each shared a song. Vandemataram gave an average to below average tunes and Dasari Lyrics for four songs are also not much impressive. Taidala Bapu & Ashok Teja also gave average lyrics for their limit of one song. In Playback Singers RP Patnaik, Devi Sri Prasad & Swarnalatha were good in their songs. Adugu Adugani, Soundaryama were the best picks of the album followed by Thannulu Thinte.
Soundaryama (Keeravani, Usha): Vandemataram has given a good melodious tune for the love duet. Keeravani also sings well and balanced. Usha's tone suited well to the song but she hasnt done a good job in the second stanza, her humming at the starting of the song was breezy. Lyrics by Dasari were good, but have less profound. Background beats and interludes are good and suited well to the mood of the song.
Bus Ekkithe (Chakri): The concept of the song is not convincible asking a ticket for Love by comparing Love with other things like Bus, Train etc. But the song attracts with different Lyrics, tune and Tone of the singer. Lyrics in the second stanza were not convincible and good. But Taidala Bapu has given the needed lyrics for the song. Chakri was the right choice of the song and he did well. Background beats and Interludes are not much good.
Aaku Chaatu Pindelam (Radhika, Sudharani): An average song, probably that was picturised on Shakeela and some others. Pallavi tune is good and singer also sang well. But they werent good after the first stanza. Pronunciation of the words by the singers is bad, some lyrics even were not able to hear. Most of the beats and tune is copied from some other songs, the tune of the words Tayyam Tattuyyam is from the song Nooziveedu Sonia from Avunu Valliddaru Ishtapaddaru. Lyrics by Shuddala Ashok Teja were just average. The impression of this vulgar song depends on the picturisation of the song, probably.
Thannulu Thinte (Devi Sri Prasad, Swarnalatha): Devi Sri Prasad & Swarnalatha were the right choice of the song, they have done a nice job. Lyrics were the highlight of the song. Dasari had given different and funny lyrics for the love song in the style of Chandrabose. The lines of Pallavi tannulu tinte tinnanu gaani junnu lanti kanne pilla vennelaga notikandindi, tippalu padite paddanu kaani laddu lanti buddi gaadu jiddu laaga antukunandu were funny. Tune and interluders are not freshy.
Adugu Adugani (RP Patnaik, Nishma): Tune is melodious but not much impressive. RP Patnaik & Nishma both had done a good job and their voice is good when singing the words Adugumari, Telupumari, Cheppumari, Emitadi and they sings well. Lyrics by Dasari are average.
Oyi Entoy (Vandemataram Srinivas, Sri Lekha): Tune and Lyrics are just average. Srilekha tone suited well to the song and she did a good job. Vandemataram also did an average job. Lyrics by Dasari werent impressive. Background beats and Interludes also not much impressive.

Rating: 3.5/5
Summary:
Teja promotes Patnaik's keyboarder Anoop to score music for this prestigious project. Anoop, who comes from behind the scenes - the orchestra, arranged his orchestra efficiently. The choice of singers is appreciable, but the need for the variety of voices he uses cannot be commented so early. Now, is he going to take Patnaik's stride in singing a few songs that he composes? Though he doesn't sound bad as a singer (not very great either!), a music director playing back his own compositions generally proves to be fatal, particularly in these days. Kulasekhar's lyrics need appreciation! The songs may take some time to impress the audience, like the earlier music hit in this banner jayam. (There's no equation or comparison here with the music of jayam!)
Playback
Lyric
Tune/Interlude/BGM
Dhama Dhama Dhama DOlu koTTu... (jai jai jai...) (Duration: 4:35 minutes) (Rating: 3.75/5)
After Patnaik two-timing as the music director and singer in Teja's movies, it seems to be Anoop's turn now! He does an okay job as a singer. Tippu now sings in Telugu better than most native singers! The child's voice is also very suitable and appreciably active. All the voices suit the mood of the song. This is a funny lyric written for flirting guys. Kulasekhar writes a very catchy and meaningful lyric. This can be quoted as one of his good lyrics. The theme, tune, lyric to some extent, and even the singing style reminds of R.P.'s "erra gulaabI tallO peTTukunnaadi..." (sambaram) though singers differ. The beat is suitable for the mood of the song.
enni aaSalO chinni gunDe lOna... (Duration: 4:37 minutes) (Rating: 3.75/5)
Shreya sings this melody with a commendable voice modulation and expression. However, her pronunciation of certain letters like the Sa in the word aaSa, dha in the word baadha, etc. should have been rectified. This seems to be a heroine introduction song, and is aesthetically penned. The song seems to be typically set to a situation where the heroine sings about her heart while thinking about her love. The lead music, along with the humming, sets the mood of this sensuous female solo. The orchestration sounds very familiar and so does the tune, but the song leaves a resonating impression on the audience.
O manasaa O manasaa... (Duration: 4:40 minutes) (Rating: 2.5/5)
Usha does a neat job like always. Anoop's voice might not suit melodies, and seems to be influenced by certain other singers. His rendition in this song is passable. This is a just-fallen-in-love kind of duet penned in a clichd manner. The use of English words like "support", "doubt" seem unnatural choices at those places.

The orchestra has a bit of everything, making the song a mixture of folk, new-age, western, and classical styles.
One two three... (Duration: 4:56 minutes) (Rating: 3/5)
Tippu modulates his voice as necessitated by this western-styled "number". The lyric is innovative, and tells the importance of numbers in daily life, and also has satirical lines like "egirE flight ki O number, munigE bus ki O number". Anoop tries to bring a fusion of western tune and orchestration and Indian classical music in the interludes.
dESam manadE... (vandE maataram...) (Duration: 4:11 minutes) (Rating: 3/5)
Baby Pretty sings well, but suffers exactly the pronunciation defects as Shreya does in song #2, but this flaw has become too common these days even by adults, thanks to the influence of Hindi on our lives. Sreenivas adds his voice only to a part of the song. The song is patriotic in its theme but does not go aggressive. The song raises the voice of unity among Indians. vinaraa vinaraa...

Summary:
DeviSri Prasad comes up with songs that can be elevated by visuals, but also can stand by themselves. Most numbers are mass-oriented and he uses his orchestra deftly to create the moods for the songs. Particular mention of the lyrics is surely necessary for this album. Seetarama Sastry penned all the lyrics and adds another 'single-card' to his credit. What is worth mentioning is his rendition of mass-oriented songs in a freely flowing, catchy manner using simple words and some words that are getting extinct, so to say! However, his typical style does not miss in any lyric - his wordplay, expressions, similes, rhyme, etc. stay the same but only change their orientation! Choice of singers sometimes seemed unreasonable - that is the only major shortcoming I should say, if I have to pick one! Also, DeviSri should see that his orchestration does not get routine.
Playback
Lyric
Tune/Interlude/BGM
chinuku ravvalO... (nuvvostaananTE...) (Duration: 5:11 minutes)
Chitra renders this song effectively, like always. Raqeeb's voice suited the mood of the song. Kalpana's voice comes as a humming in the start of the song. The song is an invitation to rain, but is written differently, and seems thematically different from kaalE mEghaa... (Hindi movie lagaan) and the ghallughallumani... (indra) songs. The song, which has a folk touch associated with it, is nicely written in simple words. Interludes are impressive, especially the splashing sound of water adds a nice effect. The flute, blended with drum beat, in the BGM towards the ending is good. The lead music reminds of the funny lead music of kannepeTTarO... from Hello Brother. The "Ektaara" in the lead music is good. Probably also because of the theme/style of the song, the tune reminds the chilakammaa chiTikEyangaa... (daLapati) song at places, nevertheless being catchy.
mellagaa karaganee... (Duration:4:59 minutes)
Charan modulates his voice effectively. Sumangali's pronunciations of certain words is unclear or wrong. Her voice gets too high-pitched in subsequent stanzas. A sizzling duet that runs thematically bringing rain into picture. Orchestration is typical of DeviSri. The heavy beat dominates the lyrics very inconsiderately. A lower pitch in the tune would have made the song better.
langaa vONee... (Duration:3:29 minutes)
Tippu is really improving from song to song, movie to movie! He surely deserves more than a pat for his efforts to pronounce Telugu better! Usha is at her usual best. Though this kind of lyric from Seetarama Sastry might be surprising to many, this only reminds me numerous mass-oriented songs he wrote in the past. His mark doesn't miss anyway - carefully observe the charaNam-s, and you can see that his wordplay, his beautiful expressions, his unique words are all there! This mass-oriented number has a suitable beat, orchestration, and more important, a catchy tune. It can easily catch up with the audience, also consideration the totally mass-oriented lead lines!
joolee joolee... (Duration:4:45 minutes)
Mallikharjun sounds different and very apt. Kalpana does a good job too. Another mass-oriented song from Seetarama Sastry! The rhyming in the lines is worth notable. The lead music lacks freshness to some extent, but soon blends into the tune. The interlude is filled with fast beat. The BGM balances it with a slow pace. The tune surely catches up soon among the audience.
kOpamaa naa paina... (Duration: 4:39 minutes)
Shreya sounds sweet. Karthik sings suitably too. A song mainly sung by the female lead asking her love to cool down his hot temper. The classy touch of tune and the interludes impress the audience. The tune is catchy too. The lead music sets the mood of the song effectively.
neeTi mullai... (Duration:1:15 minutes)
Sagar's voice is well-modulated but lacks clarity. Sumangali adds her sweet melody towards the end of the song. This bit song has its own beauty embedded in four lines. It borrows the last line from song #1, but this time it's a duet. Though a bit song, this is melody-filled to make it a memorable bit.
nacchaavE naizaam pOree... (Duration: 3:56 minutes)
Adnan Sami sings okay in Telugu, but his pronunciation gets unclear at places. Sunita Rao's pronunciation is better but is not great either. Her voice was piercingly high-pitched. This lyric surely surprises most of those who have been following Seetarama Sastry's career! It's probably the first of its kind he writes with so many Hindi words in the lyric and excels in it with ease! His style does not miss in the rhyming or wordplay. The tune, orchestration, interludes, and BGM - all have a middle Eastern infleunce on them. The drums in the background add a foot-tapping beat to the song. The interludes make one sway with the music.

palanaaTi brahmanaayuDu - Audio Review
By NaChaKi
Jun 5, 2003, 10:46
Venkataramana Productions Private Limited
palanaaTi brahmanaayuDu
Producer: Medikonda Muralikrishna
Director: B. Gopal
Music Director: Mani Sarma
Audio Rights: Aditya Music
Lyrics: Bhuvanachandra (1-5); Vennelakanti (6).
Playback: Malli & Kalpana (1); Shankar Mahadevan & Chitra (2); Udit Narayan & Chitra (3); Karthik & Radhika Poornima (4); Mano & Shalini (5); S.P.B. & Kalpana (6).
Rating: 3.5/5
Summary:
The beat for all the songs is active, indicating that they might be accompanied by good choreography on the screen. Almost all numbers are mass-oriented, and so are the lyrics. Inconsistency of singers seems to have hit Mani Sarma too this time.
Playback
Lyric
Tune/Interlude/BGM
bRndaavanamlO...
Kalpana's voice is more on the melody side, especially when compared to her renditions for the same music director earlier in movies like Takkari donga and indra. Malli does a good job too. The song starts with a nice pallavi but turns mass-oriented again, with clichd usages in the subsequent stanzas. The interlude with the strings attracts the audience. Clapping adds appreciable effect to the beat.
bandarulO bus stand lO...
Chitra and Shankar Mahadevan fill life into this racy duet with their effective rendition. The mass-oriented song has a lyric to meet the need! The interludes are good. The beat suits the mood of the song.
OsOsi poolateegaa...
Udit is again bad, like he is most of the time. It's probably the audience's luck that Chitra is generally used by the side of his voice to compensate the effect. This song has a simple and neat lyric by Bhuvanachandra for a typical duet. The composition, based on raaga Sivaranjani, is good, and the strings add a greater beauty to the song. The humming in the interlude went high-pitched.
sarasaala sundarayyaa...
Radhika Poornima's voice is sweet. She proves that she can sing mass-oriented numbers too! Karthik's voice is okay, but it could have been more active! (Though credits seem to mention the two parts of the female singer's name as two different names, I guess it's only one singer!) The lyric indicates that the song is picturized on the hero and the two heroines. The lead humming by chorus voices is very much like Mani Sarma's compositions in Takkari donga. The beat in the interlude is good.
palaka, balapam...
Shalini's voice seems a bit high-pitched but suits the mood of the song. Mano renders this song with ease. Another typical mass-oriented duet. The lyric uses Telugu varNamaala (alphabet) in its lines just like that. The tune and beat are typical of Mani Sarma. The tune is catchy.
gunDammO gunDammO...
Kalpana again sounds like in her previous songs. This song is again rendered by Balu and Kalpana for Mani Sarma and sounds hackneyed. Vennelakanti writes this song in the typical style of Bhuvanachandra, who penned all the other songs in the movie. The lyric is written interestingly, mentioning various localities of Hyderabad, but unfortunately not making much meaning for the rhyming. A few other rhyming words were exactly the ones used for similar combinations of singers and music director! The tune is typical of Mani Sarma, especially for the pallavi. The beat is active.

Dongaramudu And Party: Audio Roundup

Jun 5, 2003, 07:09
This week in Audio Roundup: Dongaramudu And Party
Donga Ramudu & Party is yet another attempt of making unconventional cinema. As the title suggests this is a typical Vamsi movie, the album derives inspiration from typical Vamsi movies albums, that is evident from the song Prema Panchami. The album contains Duets. Vamsis movie songs have not only enthralled the audience but have also contributed to the success of the respective movies and this album would leave the avid Vamsi fans craving for the movie release.
siri siri is a Duet, when a thief (Donga) fall in love, is quite impressive and was a well composed song.
prema panchami is another easy, breezy song and has typical Vamsi movie beats.
Another track, which is quite impressive, is the duet by Srinivas & Sujatha, chali rathiri.
The slow melodious edo edo lacks novelty most of the tune resemblance of some song or the other of Chakris previous compositions.
Kallona Nuvvu, another song from the album, beautifully sung by SPB and Sujatha though the tune and interludes are not fresh.
Another impressive song of the album was Vannelunna Nari
Lyrics of the album are quite impressive for a couple of songs given by Thanikella Shankar.
Its been sometime that SPB singing most of the songs. Here, he renders four songs with Sujatha and one with Sunitha. The album showcases SPBs versatility, being such a fantastic singer, with his unique voice, has given the album a new lease of life. On the whole, an album worth listen to.
Stay tuned for detailed Audio Review

Audio Rights: Mayuri Audio
Lyrics: Trivikram Srinivas

Rating: 3.25/5
Telugu Lyrics
Summary:
Lyrics score a bit more on the indicated rating for these songs. These songs make one listen to them repeatedly. Trivikram, who has already exhibited his flair in penning dialogues and directing a movie, now comes up with lyrics for the album, as a commendable single-card lyricist! If one has to set a comparison to scale his talent as a lyricist, the expressiveness in his words reminds the audience to a few numbers by sirivennela Seetarama Sastry, his metre-less lines might remind of aachaarya Aatreya, and his usage of words is like Veturi; his style (Saili) cannot however be estimated yet. Only at some places, the usage of words gives ambiguous meaning to certain lines. Chakris orchestration is good, and the interludes are rich. The tunes are also mostly catchy. If theres something that anyone would find fault with, its the choice of singers again, as in his earlier albums! Lack of consistency of male voices, and monotony of the female voice might cause boredom to the listeners! On the whole, the music might boost the movie or live with it!
Playback Lyric Tune/Interlude/BGM
swaraala veeNa! eevELalOna
Chakri sounds better than in few of his earlier songs.The humming by female voice (Kousalya?) is also good. Chakris humminghowever ends in his breath intake! He still requires some refinement in hispronunciation. Expressions like rEyi cheera kappukunna chandamaama, vaalE poddulaa jaarE(nee) jaDa are innovative. The tune constricts the lyric at places, but is goodoverall, and catchy. The starting (ettugaDa) and parts of the song however remind the jaanu tenugu paaTa song from adbhutam (sonda kuraLil paaDa from amarkkalaam).The interludes also gel with the tune very much.
vennelE nuvvani
Chakri sounds differently again! Kousalya sounds okay,but a lower pitch could have been more melodious, probably. Pronunciation byboth of them in parts of the first charaNam (second stanza) is too bad! A typical duet takes a beautiful form in this lyric. keraTamai pongitE teeramaitaakanaa is a good expression. The interlude is differently Oriental-like, strings soundgood, before the humming accompanied by the occasional DaanDiyaa-like sound. The tune is good too.
chakiTachakiTataam (kalalu kanTaamu)
The lead humming is jolly and marks the mood of the song!A bit of expression would help understand the lyric better! Overall, Kousalyarenders the song really well but just not impeccable. This song seems to establish the heroine. The lyric seemsto go with the optimistic characterization of the heroine who dreams aboutthis world as Utopia and wants to see the same in reality. The interlude is good. The tune is catchy. Humming addedgood effect to the tune.
mannu tinE chinnatanam
Udit sings this song in his usual style, ending wordswith half-sounds (halant) likeHindi! Breaking words like EmunDadaaat wrong places give a very different meaning, and he better be told aboutthat! Kousalya takes the job of compensating his voice in this song! Is itnow customary that songs with the word gOpemmamust be sung by Udit, after the hit of raamaa chilakammaa and raadhE gOvindaa?! The lyric is interesting! Its a song where the heroineasks the hero to wait until theyre married! The beat is good. The racy interlude suits the tune, buta haunting interlude (say, with wind instruments) would go hand in hand withthe theme of the song!
nidurinchE raatirilO
Mathins voiceis heavy. His pronunciation is too bad, especially for the lines like (harivillu) varNaalanE nE aDaganI. Kousalyas voiceis good, and again tries to add melody to this song spoilt by the malecounterpart! chinukayyE mEghamlaa digi raalEnaa? is a niceexpression. Almost every line has such a notable expression in this lyric! The drumbeat in the BGM and interlude are both good.Listening to this tune and BGM gives an effect similar to an old Hindi number!
naa praaNam naa praNayam
Chakri sounds very differently in this song again! Itd probably be better if he sticks to a consistent voiceat least while singing for the same movie, and concentrate more on hispronunciation! The pronunciation for this song suits the mood, but careshould be taken not to miss clarity. The metaphors and similes used in the lyric are worthnoting. However, clichd wordings like aaSa-Swaasa can also be observed. The pain in the theme of the song is suitably representedby the BGM and the thumping beat.

Rating: 2.0/5
Summary:
"God, save Telugu Cinema music!" - This is all I can tell about this album. The music doesn't seem anywhere near Rahman-grade, the lyrics are not anywhere near Veturi-grade (well, they are almost utterly meaningless and insensible), the vocals are not very good, the rerecording and mixing were mediocre. Music overlap does not give great effects as might be intended; instead, they actually belittle the value of an otherwise good BGM - that's what happened with some songs in this album. No song's situation can be guessed because the lyrics give no clue. If you felt this album deserves a better rating than that is given here, attribute the discrepancy to factors like the carelessness of the moviemakers to give some value to a substance in a song called lyric, the lack of attention from the side of the one of the country's best composers in composing and choosing the playback singers. For the records, this is the least rating I have ever given to any movie's audio!
Playback
Lyric
Tune/Interlude/BGM
Hey goodbye priyaa!... (Duration: 4:59 minutes) (Rating: 2.5/5)
Sunitha Sarathy's mispronunciation of the letter 'Sa' was unbearable because of frequent occurrence in the first stanza. Her voice was too husky and does not impress upon the audience. The male voices are effective for the theme of the song, but well, only Shankar Mahadevan can be heard most the time. Did this song really require three different singers? The lyric does not sound very meaningful. What difference does it really make if Veturi writes no different than the typical A.M. Rathnam-style lyric for a dubbing song?! The BGM dominated the husky female voice. The piano in the background toward the end of the song is good, but does not synchronize with anything else (typical "Rahmanic") and thus might not register with most audience. The tune is typically Rahman's.
jana gaNa mana... (Duration: 4:58 minutes) (Rating: 2/5)
Rahman's voice seems very different and unsuitable. Karthik's voice is not very pronounced. This happens to be the title song of the song. The reference to the header of the National Anthem doesn't make much sense. Blame the playback voices used and the mixing for not being able to conceive the lyric fully. The BGM gives a different feel. The beat is good too. The song ends in a sound like that of a breaking glass. Doesn't that remind Michael Jackson's Dangerous? Was that the intended effect?

dongODu - Audio Review
By Kavya
Aug 8, 2003, 02:31
Goodwill Cinema
dongODu meesam melEsaaDaa antE!
Lead Cast: Raviteja, Kalyani, Rekha
Director: Bheemineni Sreenivasa Rao
Producer: Rushita Sai (Bheemineni Sreenivasa Rao presents)
Music: Vidyasagar
Audio Rights: Aditya Music
Lyrics: Chandra Bose (1); Seetarama Sastry (2, 3); Bhashasree (4, 5).
Playback: Shankar Mahadevan & Rimmi Tommy (1); Valisha Babji & Chitra (2); Hariharan & Sujatha (3); Karthik & Swarnalatha (4); Udit Narayan & Sreevardhini (5).
Overall Rating: 2.25/5
Summary:
When a song had lyrics like paalalO perugundOy, naa paiTalO baruvundOy..., it'll tell you something about the entire album. The lyrics such as those above and bad music combined together becomes unbearable. Vidyasagar scored music for Telugu movies like vaddu baavaa! tappu and made no impression among the Telugu audience earlier, but still made his mark further down south in Tamil/Malayalam movies. He recently shared the credit of being a music director for naaga but this movie did not bring him numerous chances to prove his skill in Tollywood. The movie under discussion doesn't make his position any better, and probably might make it worse.
1. kODi mundaa, guDDu mundaa... 1.5/5
Coming to the technical field, the music is too loud and it overtakes the singers voices. Shankar Mahadevan and Rimmi Tommy did okay but not good. But I dont blame them. How can they possibly express their talent in a song that goes kODi mundaa, guDDu mundaa, cheppukOvE konTe paapaa kOka mundaa, raika mundaa, cheppukOvoy chanTi baabU...! The master behind these lyrics is none other than Chandra Bose. As you can see, the description of the song is not any where near the word "good".
2. Dum Dum Dum... 3.5/5
The loudness of the music, which is caused by the usage of drums in this particular song, made this song a bit attractive. The first few lines of the charaNam-s are soft with any light music. Babji and Chitra did really well. Seetarama Sastry penned lyrics really well working with the theme of peLLi, where bride and grooms friends exchange retorts at each other. Brides friend sings veelu choosi nee vaalujaDaki pani cheppu jaali paDaka, gaalamEsi nee moguDi kaaLLu kaTTeyi kadalaneeka and the grooms friend snaps back with his lines.
3. enta pani chEsindE prEma... 3.25/5
The song starts off by the little words like ayyo.. vadulu... pOraa by the female lead. Now you know the situation of the song! Hariharan and Sujatha did well. There is nothing unique to mention about the music except the flute piece in the interlude. Seetarama Sastry penned nice lyrics like nuvvU nEnU puTTaka mundE vraasundE ee bandham.... Its worth listening for the lyrics.
4. soTTa buggala rukkumiNi... 2.5/5
The lyrics by Bhashasree take off as soTTa buggala rukkumiNi, piTTa sogasulEsukuni, gaTTu daaTi oopukunTU pOtE Music is okay and it has a folk touch to it. Karthik did a good job with pronunciation and Sujatha accompanied him well. A kids voice pops up in the middle of the song, and it is definitely cute, especially when he giggles! But most of the song doesnt make sense as far as the lyrics go. Anyway, I would listen to this one once to hear the kids voice.
5. meesaala gOpaalaa... 2.25/5
Udits pronunciation is worse than ever. Udit is singing significant amount of songs in the recent times. One fails to understand what is making Udits pronunciation so horrible. Sri Vardhini did well, however. The music for this one also has a folk-touch to it. The lyrics by Bhashasree try to bring out the nostalgia of the childhood days as they go neeku chinnanaaTi chemmachekka gurtu undaa.... If there is any grace in the song, it is tortured by Udit!

The main attraction of this album is six Music Directors, but those are all not for composing the tunes they each sung a song. Keeravani, Chakri, Devi Sri Prasad, RP Patnaik, Vandemataram and Srilekha each shared a song. Vandemataram gave an average to below average tunes and Dasari Lyrics for four songs are also not much impressive. Taidala Bapu & Ashok Teja also gave average lyrics for their limit of one song. In Playback Singers RP Patnaik, Devi Sri Prasad & Swarnalatha were good in their songs. Adugu Adugani, Soundaryama were the best picks of the album followed by Thannulu Thinte.
Soundaryama (Keeravani, Usha): Vandemataram has given a good melodious tune for the love duet. Keeravani also sings well and balanced. Usha's tone suited well to the song but she hasnt done a good job in the second stanza, her humming at the starting of the song was breezy. Lyrics by Dasari were good, but have less profound. Background beats and interludes are good and suited well to the mood of the song.
Bus Ekkithe (Chakri): The concept of the song is not convincible asking a ticket for Love by comparing Love with other things like Bus, Train etc. But the song attracts with different Lyrics, tune and Tone of the singer. Lyrics in the second stanza were not convincible and good. But Taidala Bapu has given the needed lyrics for the song. Chakri was the right choice of the song and he did well. Background beats and Interludes are not much good.
Aaku Chaatu Pindelam (Radhika, Sudharani): An average song, probably that was picturised on Shakeela and some others. Pallavi tune is good and singer also sang well. But they werent good after the first stanza. Pronunciation of the words by the singers is bad, some lyrics even were not able to hear. Most of the beats and tune is copied from some other songs, the tune of the words Tayyam Tattuyyam is from the song Nooziveedu Sonia from Avunu Valliddaru Ishtapaddaru. Lyrics by Shuddala Ashok Teja were just average. The impression of this vulgar song depends on the picturisation of the song, probably.
Thannulu Thinte (Devi Sri Prasad, Swarnalatha): Devi Sri Prasad & Swarnalatha were the right choice of the song, they have done a nice job. Lyrics were the highlight of the song. Dasari had given different and funny lyrics for the love song in the style of Chandrabose. The lines of Pallavi tannulu tinte tinnanu gaani junnu lanti kanne pilla vennelaga notikandindi, tippalu padite paddanu kaani laddu lanti buddi gaadu jiddu laaga antukunandu were funny. Tune and interluders are not freshy.
Adugu Adugani (RP Patnaik, Nishma): Tune is melodious but not much impressive. RP Patnaik & Nishma both had done a good job and their voice is good when singing the words Adugumari, Telupumari, Cheppumari, Emitadi and they sings well. Lyrics by Dasari are average.
Oyi Entoy (Vandemataram Srinivas, Sri Lekha): Tune and Lyrics are just average. Srilekha tone suited well to the song and she did a good job. Vandemataram also did an average job. Lyrics by Dasari werent impressive. Background beats and Interludes also not much impressive.

Chitram Movies
Jai
Producer: Teja
Director: Teja
Music Director: Anoop
Audio Rights: Sohan Music
Lyrics: Kulasekhar
Playback: Anoop, Tippu & Master Manu (1); Shreya Ghosal (2); Anoop & Usha (3); Tippu (4); Baby Pretty & N. Sreenivas (5); Mallikharjun & Chitra (6); Sumangali (7); Lalitha & Chorus (8).
Rating: 3.5/5
Summary:
Teja promotes Patnaik's keyboarder Anoop to score music for this prestigious project. Anoop, who comes from behind the scenes - the orchestra, arranged his orchestra efficiently. The choice of singers is appreciable, but the need for the variety of voices he uses cannot be commented so early. Now, is he going to take Patnaik's stride in singing a few songs that he composes? Though he doesn't sound bad as a singer (not very great either!), a music director playing back his own compositions generally proves to be fatal, particularly in these days. Kulasekhar's lyrics need appreciation! The songs may take some time to impress the audience, like the earlier music hit in this banner jayam. (There's no equation or comparison here with the music of jayam!)
Playback
Lyric
Tune/Interlude/BGM
Dhama Dhama Dhama DOlu koTTu... (jai jai jai...) (Duration: 4:35 minutes) (Rating: 3.75/5)
After Patnaik two-timing as the music director and singer in Teja's movies, it seems to be Anoop's turn now! He does an okay job as a singer. Tippu now sings in Telugu better than most native singers! The child's voice is also very suitable and appreciably active. All the voices suit the mood of the song. This is a funny lyric written for flirting guys. Kulasekhar writes a very catchy and meaningful lyric. This can be quoted as one of his good lyrics. The theme, tune, lyric to some extent, and even the singing style reminds of R.P.'s "erra gulaabI tallO peTTukunnaadi..." (sambaram) though singers differ. The beat is suitable for the mood of the song.
enni aaSalO chinni gunDe lOna... (Duration: 4:37 minutes) (Rating: 3.75/5)
Shreya sings this melody with a commendable voice modulation and expression. However, her pronunciation of certain letters like the Sa in the word aaSa, dha in the word baadha, etc. should have been rectified. This seems to be a heroine introduction song, and is aesthetically penned. The song seems to be typically set to a situation where the heroine sings about her heart while thinking about her love. The lead music, along with the humming, sets the mood of this sensuous female solo. The orchestration sounds very familiar and so does the tune, but the song leaves a resonating impression on the audience.
O manasaa O manasaa... (Duration: 4:40 minutes) (Rating: 2.5/5)
Usha does a neat job like always. Anoop's voice might not suit melodies, and seems to be influenced by certain other singers. His rendition in this song is passable. This is a just-fallen-in-love kind of duet penned in a clichd manner. The use of English words like "support", "doubt" seem unnatural choices at those places. The lead music surprises the first time listener because the song header suggests a smooth melody whereas this song is actually a western-styled beat-based number! The orchestra has a bit of everything, making the song a mixture of folk, new-age, western, and classical styles.
One two three... (Duration: 4:56 minutes) (Rating: 3/5)
Tippu modulates his voice as necessitated by this western-styled "number". The lyric is innovative, and tells the importance of numbers in daily life, and also has satirical lines like "egirE flight ki O number, munigE bus ki O number". Anoop tries to bring a fusion of western tune and orchestration and Indian classical music in the interludes.
dESam manadE... (vandE maataram...) (Duration: 4:11 minutes) (Rating: 3/5)
Baby Pretty sings well, but suffers exactly the pronunciation defects as Shreya does in song #2, but this flaw has become too common these days even by adults, thanks to the influence of Hindi on our lives. Sreenivas adds his voice only to a part of the song. The song is patriotic in its theme but does not go aggressive. The song raises the voice of unity among Indians. vinaraa vinaraa... (Roja) has influenced many songs of this genre in the aspects of tune, orchestration in interludes and BGM, and chorus effects. This song is no exception. Nevertheless, this song is worth listening, particularly the audience who like such songs might not want to miss this.
nee kannullO... (nee kOsamE...) (Duration: 5:19 minutes) (Rating: 3.75/5)
Mallikharjun proves himself again with this soothing pathos number. Chitra needs no particular critique today, she is just great. Both signers instill audience's emotions. This song probably comes towards the climax of the movie, (or) when the lead pair is separated by unavoidable circumstances. The BGM sometimes dominates the vocals. The tune is impressive. The song comes with orchestration and interludes that are worth mentioning.
naa chEtilOna... (Duration: 2:56 minutes) (Rating: 3.5/5)
Sumangali's voice sounds unnecessarily young, if it is for the heroine (which seems obvious from the lyric)! The smooth gliding of notes (gamaka) at places sounds beautiful in this bit song. This is a song of the heroine singing for the hero, asking him lovingly to stay with her forever. The lalalaa... humming reminds of "machilIpatnam maaviDi chigurulO..." (merupu kalalu). Interludes sound good.
chuTTammO chuTTa aNaa... (Duration: 3:49 minutes) (Rating: 3.25/5)
Lalitha's voice is very different and suits the folk-like mood of the song. The male voice (Anoop?) doesn't seem to be credited in the audio. This song, interestingly, about cigars, or more familiarly, about chuTTa. The lyric also goes ahead to explain how a chuTTa is typically rolled. The lyric is good, but lacks catchiness. The beat, tune, and orchestration for this song go by the country-based folk-like theme. However, the words are not catchy and thus this song might not move up the charts much.

varsham - Audio Review
By NaChaKi
Dec 24, 2003, 17:59
Sumanth Art Productions
varsham
Producer: M. S. Raju
Director: Sobhan
Music Director: DeviSri Prasad
Audio Rights: Aditya Music (India) Limited
Lyrics: sirivennela Seetarama Sastry
Playback: Kalpana, Chitra & Raqeeb Alam (1), S. P. Charan & Sumangali (2), Tippu & Usha (3), Mallikharjun & Kalpana (4), Karthik & Shreya Ghosal (5), Sagar & Sumangali (6), Adnan Sami & Sunita Rao (7)
Rating: 4.25/5
Summary:
DeviSri Prasad comes up with songs that can be elevated by visuals, but also can stand by themselves. Most numbers are mass-oriented and he uses his orchestra deftly to create the moods for the songs. Particular mention of the lyrics is surely necessary for this album. Seetarama Sastry penned all the lyrics and adds another 'single-card' to his credit. What is worth mentioning is his rendition of mass-oriented songs in a freely flowing, catchy manner using simple words and some words that are getting extinct, so to say! However, his typical style does not miss in any lyric - his wordplay, expressions, similes, rhyme, etc. stay the same but only change their orientation! Choice of singers sometimes seemed unreasonable - that is the only major shortcoming I should say, if I have to pick one! Also, DeviSri should see that his orchestration does not get routine.
Playback
Lyric
Tune/Interlude/BGM
chinuku ravvalO... (nuvvostaananTE...) (Duration: 5:11 minutes)
Chitra renders this song effectively, like always. Raqeeb's voice suited the mood of the song. Kalpana's voice comes as a humming in the start of the song. The song is an invitation to rain, but is written differently, and seems thematically different from kaalE mEghaa... (Hindi movie lagaan) and the ghallughallumani... (indra) songs. The song, which has a folk touch associated with it, is nicely written in simple words. Interludes are impressive, especially the splashing sound of water adds a nice effect. The flute, blended with drum beat, in the BGM towards the ending is good. The lead music reminds of the funny lead music of kannepeTTarO... from Hello Brother. The "Ektaara" in the lead music is good. Probably also because of the theme/style of the song, the tune reminds the chilakammaa chiTikEyangaa... (daLapati) song at places, nevertheless being catchy.
mellagaa karaganee... (Duration:4:59 minutes)
Charan modulates his voice effectively. Sumangali's pronunciations of certain words is unclear or wrong. Her voice gets too high-pitched in subsequent stanzas. A sizzling duet that runs thematically bringing rain into picture. Orchestration is typical of DeviSri. The heavy beat dominates the lyrics very inconsiderately. A lower pitch in the tune would have made the song better.
langaa vONee... (Duration:3:29 minutes)
Tippu is really improving from song to song, movie to movie! He surely deserves more than a pat for his efforts to pronounce Telugu better! Usha is at her usual best. Though this kind of lyric from Seetarama Sastry might be surprising to many, this only reminds me numerous mass-oriented songs he wrote in the past. His mark doesn't miss anyway - carefully observe the charaNam-s, and you can see that his wordplay, his beautiful expressions, his unique words are all there! This mass-oriented number has a suitable beat, orchestration, and more important, a catchy tune. It can easily catch up with the audience, also consideration the totally mass-oriented lead lines!
joolee joolee... (Duration:4:45 minutes)
Mallikharjun sounds different and very apt. Kalpana does a good job too. Another mass-oriented song from Seetarama Sastry! The rhyming in the lines is worth notable. The lead music lacks freshness to some extent, but soon blends into the tune. The interlude is filled with fast beat. The BGM balances it with a slow pace. The tune surely catches up soon among the audience.
kOpamaa naa paina... (Duration: 4:39 minutes)
Shreya sounds sweet. Karthik sings suitably too. A song mainly sung by the female lead asking her love to cool down his hot temper. The classy touch of tune and the interludes impress the audience. The tune is catchy too. The lead music sets the mood of the song effectively.
neeTi mullai... (Duration:1:15 minutes)
Sagar's voice is well-modulated but lacks clarity. Sumangali adds her sweet melody towards the end of the song. This bit song has its own beauty embedded in four lines. It borrows the last line from song #1, but this time it's a duet. Though a bit song, this is melody-filled to make it a memorable bit.
nacchaavE naizaam pOree... (Duration: 3:56 minutes)
Adnan Sami sings okay in Telugu, but his pronunciation gets unclear at places. Sunita Rao's pronunciation is better but is not great either. Her voice was piercingly high-pitched. This lyric surely surprises most of those who have been following Seetarama Sastry's career! It's probably the first of its kind he writes with so many Hindi words in the lyric and excels in it with ease! His style does not miss in the rhyming or wordplay. The tune, orchestration, interludes, and BGM - all have a middle Eastern infleunce on them. The drums in the background add a foot-tapping beat to the song. The interludes make one sway with the music.

palanaaTi brahmanaayuDu - Audio Review
By NaChaKi
Jun 5, 2003, 10:46
Venkataramana Productions Private Limited
palanaaTi brahmanaayuDu
Producer: Medikonda Muralikrishna
Director: B. Gopal
Music Director: Mani Sarma
Audio Rights: Aditya Music
Lyrics: Bhuvanachandra (1-5); Vennelakanti (6).
Playback: Malli & Kalpana (1); Shankar Mahadevan & Chitra (2); Udit Narayan & Chitra (3); Karthik & Radhika Poornima (4); Mano & Shalini (5); S.P.B. & Kalpana (6).
Rating: 3.5/5
Summary:
The beat for all the songs is active, indicating that they might be accompanied by good choreography on the screen. Almost all numbers are mass-oriented, and so are the lyrics. Inconsistency of singers seems to have hit Mani Sarma too this time.
Playback
Lyric
Tune/Interlude/BGM
bRndaavanamlO...
Kalpana's voice is more on the melody side, especially when compared to her renditions for the same music director earlier in movies like Takkari donga and indra. Malli does a good job too. The song starts with a nice pallavi but turns mass-oriented again, with clichd usages in the subsequent stanzas. The interlude with the strings attracts the audience. Clapping adds appreciable effect to the beat.
bandarulO bus stand lO...
Chitra and Shankar Mahadevan fill life into this racy duet with their effective rendition. The mass-oriented song has a lyric to meet the need! The interludes are good. The beat suits the mood of the song.
OsOsi poolateegaa...
Udit is again bad, like he is most of the time. It's probably the audience's luck that Chitra is generally used by the side of his voice to compensate the effect. This song has a simple and neat lyric by Bhuvanachandra for a typical duet. The composition, based on raaga Sivaranjani, is good, and the strings add a greater beauty to the song. The humming in the interlude went high-pitched.
sarasaala sundarayyaa...
Radhika Poornima's voice is sweet. She proves that she can sing mass-oriented numbers too! Karthik's voice is okay, but it could have been more active! (Though credits seem to mention the two parts of the female singer's name as two different names, I guess it's only one singer!) The lyric indicates that the song is picturized on the hero and the two heroines. The lead humming by chorus voices is very much like Mani Sarma's compositions in Takkari donga. The beat in the interlude is good.
palaka, balapam...
Shalini's voice seems a bit high-pitched but suits the mood of the song. Mano renders this song with ease. Another typical mass-oriented duet. The lyric uses Telugu varNamaala (alphabet) in its lines just like that. The tune and beat are typical of Mani Sarma. The tune is catchy.
gunDammO gunDammO...
Kalpana again sounds like in her previous songs. This song is again rendered by Balu and Kalpana for Mani Sarma and sounds hackneyed. Vennelakanti writes this song in the typical style of Bhuvanachandra, who penned all the other songs in the movie. The lyric is written interestingly, mentioning various localities of Hyderabad, but unfortunately not making much meaning for the rhyming. A few other rhyming words were exactly the ones used for similar combinations of singers and music director! The tune is typical of Mani Sarma, especially for the pallavi. The beat is active.

Dongaramudu And Party: Audio Roundup

Jun 5, 2003, 07:09
This week in Audio Roundup: Dongaramudu And Party
Donga Ramudu & Party is yet another attempt of making unconventional cinema. As the title suggests this is a typical Vamsi movie, the album derives inspiration from typical Vamsi movies albums, that is evident from the song Prema Panchami. The album contains Duets. Vamsis movie songs have not only enthralled the audience but have also contributed to the success of the respective movies and this album would leave the avid Vamsi fans craving for the movie release.
siri siri is a Duet, when a thief (Donga) fall in love, is quite impressive and was a well composed song.
prema panchami is another easy, breezy song and has typical Vamsi movie beats.
Another track, which is quite impressive, is the duet by Srinivas & Sujatha, chali rathiri.
The slow melodious edo edo lacks novelty most of the tune resemblance of some song or the other of Chakris previous compositions.
Kallona Nuvvu, another song from the album, beautifully sung by SPB and Sujatha though the tune and interludes are not fresh.
Another impressive song of the album was Vannelunna Nari
Lyrics of the album are quite impressive for a couple of songs given by Thanikella Shankar.
Its been sometime that SPB singing most of the songs. Here, he renders four songs with Sujatha and one with Sunitha. The album showcases SPBs versatility, being such a fantastic singer, with his unique voice, has given the album a new lease of life. On the whole, an album worth listen to.
Stay tuned for detailed Audio Review

oka raaju - oka raaNi
Producer: Ramoji Rao
Director: Yogi

Audio Rights: Mayuri Audio
Lyrics: Trivikram Srinivas
Playback: Chakri (1, 6); Chakri & Kousalya (2); Kousalya (3); Udit Narayan & Kousalya (4); Mathin & Kousalya (5);
Rating: 3.25/5
Telugu Lyrics
Summary:
Lyrics score a bit more on the indicated rating for these songs. These songs make one listen to them repeatedly. Trivikram, who has already exhibited his flair in penning dialogues and directing a movie, now comes up with lyrics for the album, as a commendable single-card lyricist! If one has to set a comparison to scale his talent as a lyricist, the expressiveness in his words reminds the audience to a few numbers by sirivennela Seetarama Sastry, his metre-less lines might remind of aachaarya Aatreya, and his usage of words is like Veturi; his style (Saili) cannot however be estimated yet. Only at some places, the usage of words gives ambiguous meaning to certain lines. Chakris orchestration is good, and the interludes are rich. The tunes are also mostly catchy. If theres something that anyone would find fault with, its the choice of singers again, as in his earlier albums! Lack of consistency of male voices, and monotony of the female voice might cause boredom to the listeners! On the whole, the music might boost the movie or live with it!
Playback Lyric Tune/Interlude/BGM
swaraala veeNa! eevELalOna
Chakri sounds better than in few of his earlier songs.The humming by female voice (Kousalya?) is also good. Chakris humminghowever ends in his breath intake! He still requires some refinement in hispronunciation. Expressions like rEyi cheera kappukunna chandamaama, vaalE poddulaa jaarE(nee) jaDa are innovative. The tune constricts the lyric at places, but is goodoverall, and catchy. The starting (ettugaDa) and parts of the song however remind the jaanu tenugu paaTa song from adbhutam (sonda kuraLil paaDa from amarkkalaam).The interludes also gel with the tune very much.
vennelE nuvvani
Chakri sounds differently again! Kousalya sounds okay,but a lower pitch could have been more melodious, probably. Pronunciation byboth of them in parts of the first charaNam (second stanza) is too bad! A typical duet takes a beautiful form in this lyric. keraTamai pongitE teeramaitaakanaa is a good expression. The interlude is differently Oriental-like, strings soundgood, before the humming accompanied by the occasional DaanDiyaa-like sound. The tune is good too.
chakiTachakiTataam (kalalu kanTaamu)
The lead humming is jolly and marks the mood of the song!A bit of expression would help understand the lyric better! Overall, Kousalyarenders the song really well but just not impeccable. This song seems to establish the heroine. The lyric seemsto go with the optimistic characterization of the heroine who dreams aboutthis world as Utopia and wants to see the same in reality. The interlude is good. The tune is catchy. Humming addedgood effect to the tune.
mannu tinE chinnatanam
Udit sings this song in his usual style, ending wordswith half-sounds (halant) likeHindi! Breaking words like EmunDadaaat wrong places give a very different meaning, and he better be told aboutthat! Kousalya takes the job of compensating his voice in this song! Is itnow customary that songs with the word gOpemmamust be sung by Udit, after the hit of raamaa chilakammaa and raadhE gOvindaa?! The lyric is interesting! Its a song where the heroineasks the hero to wait until theyre married! The beat is good. The racy interlude suits the tune, buta haunting interlude (say, with wind instruments) would go hand in hand withthe theme of the song!
nidurinchE raatirilO
Mathins voiceis heavy. His pronunciation is too bad, especially for the lines like (harivillu) varNaalanE nE aDaganI. Kousalyas voiceis good, and again tries to add melody to this song spoilt by the malecounterpart! chinukayyE mEghamlaa digi raalEnaa? is a niceexpression. Almost every line has such a notable expression in this lyric! The drumbeat in the BGM and interlude are both good.Listening to this tune and BGM gives an effect similar to an old Hindi number!
naa praaNam naa praNayam
Chakri sounds very differently in this song again! Itd probably be better if he sticks to a consistent voiceat least while singing for the same movie, and concentrate more on hispronunciation! The pronunciation for this song suits the mood, but careshould be taken not to miss clarity. The metaphors and similes used in the lyric are worthnoting. However, clichd wordings like aaSa-Swaasa can also be observed. The pain in the theme of the song is suitably representedby the BGM and the thumping beat.

Rating: 2.0/5
Summary:
"God, save Telugu Cinema music!" - This is all I can tell about this album. The music doesn't seem anywhere near Rahman-grade, the lyrics are not anywhere near Veturi-grade (well, they are almost utterly meaningless and insensible), the vocals are not very good, the rerecording and mixing were mediocre. Music overlap does not give great effects as might be intended; instead, they actually belittle the value of an otherwise good BGM - that's what happened with some songs in this album. No song's situation can be guessed because the lyrics give no clue. If you felt this album deserves a better rating than that is given here, attribute the discrepancy to factors like the carelessness of the moviemakers to give some value to a substance in a song called lyric, the lack of attention from the side of the one of the country's best composers in composing and choosing the playback singers. For the records, this is the least rating I have ever given to any movie's audio!
Playback
Lyric
Tune/Interlude/BGM
Hey goodbye priyaa!... (Duration: 4:59 minutes) (Rating: 2.5/5)
Sunitha Sarathy's mispronunciation of the letter 'Sa' was unbearable because of frequent occurrence in the first stanza. Her voice was too husky and does not impress upon the audience. The male voices are effective for the theme of the song, but well, only Shankar Mahadevan can be heard most the time. Did this song really require three different singers? The lyric does not sound very meaningful. What difference does it really make if Veturi writes no different than the typical A.M. Rathnam-style lyric for a dubbing song?! The BGM dominated the husky female voice. The piano in the background toward the end of the song is good, but does not synchronize with anything else (typical "Rahmanic") and thus might not register with most audience. The tune is typically Rahman's.
jana gaNa mana... (Duration: 4:58 minutes) (Rating: 2/5)
Rahman's voice seems very different and unsuitable. Karthik's voice is not very pronounced. This happens to be the title song of the song. The reference to the header of the National Anthem doesn't make much sense. Blame the playback voices used and the mixing for not being able to conceive the lyric fully. The BGM gives a different feel. The beat is good too. The song ends in a sound like that of a breaking glass. Doesn't that remind Michael Jackson's Dangerous? Was that the intended effect?

dongODu - Audio Review
By Kavya
Aug 8, 2003, 02:31
Goodwill Cinema
dongODu meesam melEsaaDaa antE!
Lead Cast: Raviteja, Kalyani, Rekha
Director: Bheemineni Sreenivasa Rao
Producer: Rushita Sai (Bheemineni Sreenivasa Rao presents)
Music: Vidyasagar
Audio Rights: Aditya Music
Lyrics: Chandra Bose (1); Seetarama Sastry (2, 3); Bhashasree (4, 5).
Playback: Shankar Mahadevan & Rimmi Tommy (1); Valisha Babji & Chitra (2); Hariharan & Sujatha (3); Karthik & Swarnalatha (4); Udit Narayan & Sreevardhini (5).
Overall Rating: 2.25/5
Summary:
When a song had lyrics like paalalO perugundOy, naa paiTalO baruvundOy..., it'll tell you something about the entire album. The lyrics such as those above and bad music combined together becomes unbearable. Vidyasagar scored music for Telugu movies like vaddu baavaa! tappu and made no impression among the Telugu audience earlier, but still made his mark further down south in Tamil/Malayalam movies. He recently shared the credit of being a music director for naaga but this movie did not bring him numerous chances to prove his skill in Tollywood. The movie under discussion doesn't make his position any better, and probably might make it worse.
1. kODi mundaa, guDDu mundaa... 1.5/5
Coming to the technical field, the music is too loud and it overtakes the singers voices. Shankar Mahadevan and Rimmi Tommy did okay but not good. But I dont blame them. How can they possibly express their talent in a song that goes kODi mundaa, guDDu mundaa, cheppukOvE konTe paapaa kOka mundaa, raika mundaa, cheppukOvoy chanTi baabU...! The master behind these lyrics is none other than Chandra Bose. As you can see, the description of the song is not any where near the word "good".
2. Dum Dum Dum... 3.5/5
The loudness of the music, which is caused by the usage of drums in this particular song, made this song a bit attractive. The first few lines of the charaNam-s are soft with any light music. Babji and Chitra did really well. Seetarama Sastry penned lyrics really well working with the theme of peLLi, where bride and grooms friends exchange retorts at each other. Brides friend sings veelu choosi nee vaalujaDaki pani cheppu jaali paDaka, gaalamEsi nee moguDi kaaLLu kaTTeyi kadalaneeka and the grooms friend snaps back with his lines.
3. enta pani chEsindE prEma... 3.25/5
The song starts off by the little words like ayyo.. vadulu... pOraa by the female lead. Now you know the situation of the song! Hariharan and Sujatha did well. There is nothing unique to mention about the music except the flute piece in the interlude. Seetarama Sastry penned nice lyrics like nuvvU nEnU puTTaka mundE vraasundE ee bandham.... Its worth listening for the lyrics.
4. soTTa buggala rukkumiNi... 2.5/5
The lyrics by Bhashasree take off as soTTa buggala rukkumiNi, piTTa sogasulEsukuni, gaTTu daaTi oopukunTU pOtE Music is okay and it has a folk touch to it. Karthik did a good job with pronunciation and Sujatha accompanied him well. A kids voice pops up in the middle of the song, and it is definitely cute, especially when he giggles! But most of the song doesnt make sense as far as the lyrics go. Anyway, I would listen to this one once to hear the kids voice.
5. meesaala gOpaalaa... 2.25/5
Udits pronunciation is worse than ever. Udit is singing significant amount of songs in the recent times. One fails to understand what is making Udits pronunciation so horrible. Sri Vardhini did well, however. The music for this one also has a folk-touch to it. The lyrics by Bhashasree try to bring out the nostalgia of the childhood days as they go neeku chinnanaaTi chemmachekka gurtu undaa.... If there is any grace in the song, it is tortured by Udit!

The main attraction of this album is six Music Directors, but those are all not for composing the tunes they each sung a song. Keeravani, Chakri, Devi Sri Prasad, RP Patnaik, Vandemataram and Srilekha each shared a song. Vandemataram gave an average to below average tunes and Dasari Lyrics for four songs are also not much impressive. Taidala Bapu & Ashok Teja also gave average lyrics for their limit of one song. In Playback Singers RP Patnaik, Devi Sri Prasad & Swarnalatha were good in their songs. Adugu Adugani, Soundaryama were the best picks of the album followed by Thannulu Thinte.
Soundaryama (Keeravani, Usha): Vandemataram has given a good melodious tune for the love duet. Keeravani also sings well and balanced. Usha's tone suited well to the song but she hasnt done a good job in the second stanza, her humming at the starting of the song was breezy. Lyrics by Dasari were good, but have less profound. Background beats and interludes are good and suited well to the mood of the song.
Bus Ekkithe (Chakri): The concept of the song is not convincible asking a ticket for Love by comparing Love with other things like Bus, Train etc. But the song attracts with different Lyrics, tune and Tone of the singer. Lyrics in the second stanza were not convincible and good. But Taidala Bapu has given the needed lyrics for the song. Chakri was the right choice of the song and he did well. Background beats and Interludes are not much good.
Aaku Chaatu Pindelam (Radhika, Sudharani): An average song, probably that was picturised on Shakeela and some others. Pallavi tune is good and singer also sang well. But they werent good after the first stanza. Pronunciation of the words by the singers is bad, some lyrics even were not able to hear. Most of the beats and tune is copied from some other songs, the tune of the words Tayyam Tattuyyam is from the song Nooziveedu Sonia from Avunu Valliddaru Ishtapaddaru. Lyrics by Shuddala Ashok Teja were just average. The impression of this vulgar song depends on the picturisation of the song, probably.
Thannulu Thinte (Devi Sri Prasad, Swarnalatha): Devi Sri Prasad & Swarnalatha were the right choice of the song, they have done a nice job. Lyrics were the highlight of the song. Dasari had given different and funny lyrics for the love song in the style of Chandrabose. The lines of Pallavi tannulu tinte tinnanu gaani junnu lanti kanne pilla vennelaga notikandindi, tippalu padite paddanu kaani laddu lanti buddi gaadu jiddu laaga antukunandu were funny. Tune and interluders are not freshy.
Adugu Adugani (RP Patnaik, Nishma): Tune is melodious but not much impressive. RP Patnaik & Nishma both had done a good job and their voice is good when singing the words Adugumari, Telupumari, Cheppumari, Emitadi and they sings well. Lyrics by Dasari are average.
Oyi Entoy (Vandemataram Srinivas, Sri Lekha): Tune and Lyrics are just average. Srilekha tone suited well to the song and she did a good job. Vandemataram also did an average job. Lyrics by Dasari werent impressive. Background beats and Interludes also not much impressive.

Chitram Movies
Jai
Producer: Teja
Director: Teja
Music Director: Anoop
Audio Rights: Sohan Music
Lyrics: Kulasekhar
Playback: Anoop, Tippu & Master Manu (1); Shreya Ghosal (2); Anoop & Usha (3); Tippu (4); Baby Pretty & N. Sreenivas (5); Mallikharjun & Chitra (6); Sumangali (7); Lalitha & Chorus (8).
Rating: 3.5/5
Summary:
Teja promotes Patnaik's keyboarder Anoop to score music for this prestigious project. Anoop, who comes from behind the scenes - the orchestra, arranged his orchestra efficiently. The choice of singers is appreciable, but the need for the variety of voices he uses cannot be commented so early. Now, is he going to take Patnaik's stride in singing a few songs that he composes? Though he doesn't sound bad as a singer (not very great either!), a music director playing back his own compositions generally proves to be fatal, particularly in these days. Kulasekhar's lyrics need appreciation! The songs may take some time to impress the audience, like the earlier music hit in this banner jayam. (There's no equation or comparison here with the music of jayam!)
Playback
Lyric
Tune/Interlude/BGM
Dhama Dhama Dhama DOlu koTTu... (jai jai jai...) (Duration: 4:35 minutes) (Rating: 3.75/5)
After Patnaik two-timing as the music director and singer in Teja's movies, it seems to be Anoop's turn now! He does an okay job as a singer. Tippu now sings in Telugu better than most native singers! The child's voice is also very suitable and appreciably active. All the voices suit the mood of the song. This is a funny lyric written for flirting guys. Kulasekhar writes a very catchy and meaningful lyric. This can be quoted as one of his good lyrics. The theme, tune, lyric to some extent, and even the singing style reminds of R.P.'s "erra gulaabI tallO peTTukunnaadi..." (sambaram) though singers differ. The beat is suitable for the mood of the song.
enni aaSalO chinni gunDe lOna... (Duration: 4:37 minutes) (Rating: 3.75/5)
Shreya sings this melody with a commendable voice modulation and expression. However, her pronunciation of certain letters like the Sa in the word aaSa, dha in the word baadha, etc. should have been rectified. This seems to be a heroine introduction song, and is aesthetically penned. The song seems to be typically set to a situation where the heroine sings about her heart while thinking about her love. The lead music, along with the humming, sets the mood of this sensuous female solo. The orchestration sounds very familiar and so does the tune, but the song leaves a resonating impression on the audience.
O manasaa O manasaa... (Duration: 4:40 minutes) (Rating: 2.5/5)
Usha does a neat job like always. Anoop's voice might not suit melodies, and seems to be influenced by certain other singers. His rendition in this song is passable. This is a just-fallen-in-love kind of duet penned in a clichd manner. The use of English words like "support", "doubt" seem unnatural choices at those places. The lead music surprises the first time listener because the song header suggests a smooth melody whereas this song is actually a western-styled beat-based number! The orchestra has a bit of everything, making the song a mixture of folk, new-age, western, and classical styles.
One two three... (Duration: 4:56 minutes) (Rating: 3/5)
Tippu modulates his voice as necessitated by this western-styled "number". The lyric is innovative, and tells the importance of numbers in daily life, and also has satirical lines like "egirE flight ki O number, munigE bus ki O number". Anoop tries to bring a fusion of western tune and orchestration and Indian classical music in the interludes.
dESam manadE... (vandE maataram...) (Duration: 4:11 minutes) (Rating: 3/5)
Baby Pretty sings well, but suffers exactly the pronunciation defects as Shreya does in song #2, but this flaw has become too common these days even by adults, thanks to the influence of Hindi on our lives. Sreenivas adds his voice only to a part of the song. The song is patriotic in its theme but does not go aggressive. The song raises the voice of unity among Indians. vinaraa vinaraa... (Roja) has influenced many songs of this genre in the aspects of tune, orchestration in interludes and BGM, and chorus effects. This song is no exception. Nevertheless, this song is worth listening, particularly the audience who like such songs might not want to miss this.
nee kannullO... (nee kOsamE...) (Duration: 5:19 minutes) (Rating: 3.75/5)
Mallikharjun proves himself again with this soothing pathos number. Chitra needs no particular critique today, she is just great. Both signers instill audience's emotions. This song probably comes towards the climax of the movie, (or) when the lead pair is separated by unavoidable circumstances. The BGM sometimes dominates the vocals. The tune is impressive. The song comes with orchestration and interludes that are worth mentioning.
naa chEtilOna... (Duration: 2:56 minutes) (Rating: 3.5/5)
Sumangali's voice sounds unnecessarily young, if it is for the heroine (which seems obvious from the lyric)! The smooth gliding of notes (gamaka) at places sounds beautiful in this bit song. This is a song of the heroine singing for the hero, asking him lovingly to stay with her forever. The lalalaa... humming reminds of "machilIpatnam maaviDi chigurulO..." (merupu kalalu). Interludes sound good.
chuTTammO chuTTa aNaa... (Duration: 3:49 minutes) (Rating: 3.25/5)
Lalitha's voice is very different and suits the folk-like mood of the song. The male voice (Anoop?) doesn't seem to be credited in the audio. This song, interestingly, about cigars, or more familiarly, about chuTTa. The lyric also goes ahead to explain how a chuTTa is typically rolled. The lyric is good, but lacks catchiness. The beat, tune, and orchestration for this song go by the country-based folk-like theme. However, the words are not catchy and thus this song might not move up the charts much.

Dec 24, 2003, 17:59
Sumanth Art Productions
varsham
Producer: M. S. Raju
Director: Sobhan
Music Director: DeviSri Prasad
Audio Rights: Aditya Music (India) Limited
Lyrics: sirivennela Seetarama Sastry
Playback: Kalpana, Chitra & Raqeeb Alam (1), S. P. Charan & Sumangali (2), Tippu & Usha (3), Mallikharjun & Kalpana (4), Karthik & Shreya Ghosal (5), Sagar & Sumangali (6), Adnan Sami & Sunita Rao (7)
Rating: 4.25/5
Summary:
DeviSri Prasad comes up with songs that can be elevated by visuals, but also can stand by themselves. Most numbers are mass-oriented and he uses his orchestra deftly to create the moods for the songs. Particular mention of the lyrics is surely necessary for this album. Seetarama Sastry penned all the lyrics and adds another 'single-card' to his credit. What is worth mentioning is his rendition of mass-oriented songs in a freely flowing, catchy manner using simple words and some words that are getting extinct, so to say! However, his typical style does not miss in any lyric - his wordplay, expressions, similes, rhyme, etc. stay the same but only change their orientation! Choice of singers sometimes seemed unreasonable - that is the only major shortcoming I should say, if I have to pick one! Also, DeviSri should see that his orchestration does not get routine.
Playback
Lyric
Tune/Interlude/BGM
chinuku ravvalO... (nuvvostaananTE...) (Duration: 5:11 minutes)
Chitra renders this song effectively, like always. Raqeeb's voice suited the mood of the song. Kalpana's voice comes as a humming in the start of the song. The song is an invitation to rain, but is written differently, and seems thematically different from kaalE mEghaa... (Hindi movie lagaan) and the ghallughallumani... (indra) songs. The song, which has a folk touch associated with it, is nicely written in simple words. Interludes are impressive, especially the splashing sound of water adds a nice effect. The flute, blended with drum beat, in the BGM towards the ending is good. The lead music reminds of the funny lead music of kannepeTTarO... from Hello Brother. The "Ektaara" in the lead music is good. Probably also because of the theme/style of the song, the tune reminds the chilakammaa chiTikEyangaa... (daLapati) song at places, nevertheless being catchy.
mellagaa karaganee... (Duration:4:59 minutes)
Charan modulates his voice effectively. Sumangali's pronunciations of certain words is unclear or wrong. Her voice gets too high-pitched in subsequent stanzas. A sizzling duet that runs thematically bringing rain into picture. Orchestration is typical of DeviSri. The heavy beat dominates the lyrics very inconsiderately. A lower pitch in the tune would have made the song better.
langaa vONee... (Duration:3:29 minutes)
Tippu is really improving from song to song, movie to movie! He surely deserves more than a pat for his efforts to pronounce Telugu better! Usha is at her usual best. Though this kind of lyric from Seetarama Sastry might be surprising to many, this only reminds me numerous mass-oriented songs he wrote in the past. His mark doesn't miss anyway - carefully observe the charaNam-s, and you can see that his wordplay, his beautiful expressions, his unique words are all there! This mass-oriented number has a suitable beat, orchestration, and more important, a catchy tune. It can easily catch up with the audience, also consideration the totally mass-oriented lead lines!
joolee joolee... (Duration:4:45 minutes)
Mallikharjun sounds different and very apt. Kalpana does a good job too. Another mass-oriented song from Seetarama Sastry! The rhyming in the lines is worth notable. The lead music lacks freshness to some extent, but soon blends into the tune. The interlude is filled with fast beat. The BGM balances it with a slow pace. The tune surely catches up soon among the audience.
kOpamaa naa paina... (Duration: 4:39 minutes)
Shreya sounds sweet. Karthik sings suitably too. A song mainly sung by the female lead asking her love to cool down his hot temper. The classy touch of tune and the interludes impress the audience. The tune is catchy too. The lead music sets the mood of the song effectively.
neeTi mullai... (Duration:1:15 minutes)
Sagar's voice is well-modulated but lacks clarity. Sumangali adds her sweet melody towards the end of the song. This bit song has its own beauty embedded in four lines. It borrows the last line from song #1, but this time it's a duet. Though a bit song, this is melody-filled to make it a memorable bit.
nacchaavE naizaam pOree... (Duration: 3:56 minutes)
Adnan Sami sings okay in Telugu, but his pronunciation gets unclear at places. Sunita Rao's pronunciation is better but is not great either. Her voice was piercingly high-pitched. This lyric surely surprises most of those who have been following Seetarama Sastry's career! It's probably the first of its kind he writes with so many Hindi words in the lyric and excels in it with ease! His style does not miss in the rhyming or wordplay. The tune, orchestration, interludes, and BGM - all have a middle Eastern infleunce on them. The drums in the background add a foot-tapping beat to the song. The interludes make one sway with the music.

palanaaTi brahmanaayuDu - Audio Review
By NaChaKi
Jun 5, 2003, 10:46
Venkataramana Productions Private Limited
palanaaTi brahmanaayuDu
Producer: Medikonda Muralikrishna
Director: B. Gopal
Music Director: Mani Sarma
Audio Rights: Aditya Music
Lyrics: Bhuvanachandra (1-5); Vennelakanti (6).
Playback: Malli & Kalpana (1); Shankar Mahadevan & Chitra (2); Udit Narayan & Chitra (3); Karthik & Radhika Poornima (4); Mano & Shalini (5); S.P.B. & Kalpana (6).
Rating: 3.5/5
Summary:
The beat for all the songs is active, indicating that they might be accompanied by good choreography on the screen. Almost all numbers are mass-oriented, and so are the lyrics. Inconsistency of singers seems to have hit Mani Sarma too this time.
Playback
Lyric
Tune/Interlude/BGM
bRndaavanamlO...
Kalpana's voice is more on the melody side, especially when compared to her renditions for the same music director earlier in movies like Takkari donga and indra. Malli does a good job too. The song starts with a nice pallavi but turns mass-oriented again, with clichd usages in the subsequent stanzas. The interlude with the strings attracts the audience. Clapping adds appreciable effect to the beat.
bandarulO bus stand lO...
Chitra and Shankar Mahadevan fill life into this racy duet with their effective rendition. The mass-oriented song has a lyric to meet the need! The interludes are good. The beat suits the mood of the song.
OsOsi poolateegaa...
Udit is again bad, like he is most of the time. It's probably the audience's luck that Chitra is generally used by the side of his voice to compensate the effect. This song has a simple and neat lyric by Bhuvanachandra for a typical duet. The composition, based on raaga Sivaranjani, is good, and the strings add a greater beauty to the song. The humming in the interlude went high-pitched.
sarasaala sundarayyaa...
Radhika Poornima's voice is sweet. She proves that she can sing mass-oriented numbers too! Karthik's voice is okay, but it could have been more active! (Though credits seem to mention the two parts of the female singer's name as two different names, I guess it's only one singer!) The lyric indicates that the song is picturized on the hero and the two heroines. The lead humming by chorus voices is very much like Mani Sarma's compositions in Takkari donga. The beat in the interlude is good.
palaka, balapam...
Shalini's voice seems a bit high-pitched but suits the mood of the song. Mano renders this song with ease. Another typical mass-oriented duet. The lyric uses Telugu varNamaala (alphabet) in its lines just like that. The tune and beat are typical of Mani Sarma. The tune is catchy.
gunDammO gunDammO...
Kalpana again sounds like in her previous songs. This song is again rendered by Balu and Kalpana for Mani Sarma and sounds hackneyed. Vennelakanti writes this song in the typical style of Bhuvanachandra, who penned all the other songs in the movie. The lyric is written interestingly, mentioning various localities of Hyderabad, but unfortunately not making much meaning for the rhyming. A few other rhyming words were exactly the ones used for similar combinations of singers and music director! The tune is typical of Mani Sarma, especially for the pallavi. The beat is active.

Dongaramudu And Party: Audio Roundup

Jun 5, 2003, 07:09
This week in Audio Roundup: Dongaramudu And Party
Donga Ramudu & Party is yet another attempt of making unconventional cinema. As the title suggests this is a typical Vamsi movie, the album derives inspiration from typical Vamsi movies albums, that is evident from the song Prema Panchami. The album contains Duets. Vamsis movie songs have not only enthralled the audience but have also contributed to the success of the respective movies and this album would leave the avid Vamsi fans craving for the movie release.
siri siri is a Duet, when a thief (Donga) fall in love, is quite impressive and was a well composed song.
prema panchami is another easy, breezy song and has typical Vamsi movie beats.
Another track, which is quite impressive, is the duet by Srinivas & Sujatha, chali rathiri.
The slow melodious edo edo lacks novelty most of the tune resemblance of some song or the other of Chakris previous compositions.
Kallona Nuvvu, another song from the album, beautifully sung by SPB and Sujatha though the tune and interludes are not fresh.
Another impressive song of the album was Vannelunna Nari
Lyrics of the album are quite impressive for a couple of songs given by Thanikella Shankar.
Its been sometime that SPB singing most of the songs. Here, he renders four songs with Sujatha and one with Sunitha. The album showcases SPBs versatility, being such a fantastic singer, with his unique voice, has given the album a new lease of life. On the whole, an album worth listen to.
Stay tuned for detailed Audio Review

Lyrics: Trivikram Srinivas

Rating: 3.25/5
Telugu Lyrics
Summary:
Lyrics score a bit more on the indicated rating for these songs. These songs make one listen to them repeatedly. Trivikram, who has already exhibited his flair in penning dialogues and directing a movie, now comes up with lyrics for the album, as a commendable single-card lyricist! If one has to set a comparison to scale his talent as a lyricist, the expressiveness in his words reminds the audience to a few numbers by sirivennela Seetarama Sastry, his metre-less lines might remind of aachaarya Aatreya, and his usage of words is like Veturi; his style (Saili) cannot however be estimated yet. Only at some places, the usage of words gives ambiguous meaning to certain lines. Chakris orchestration is good, and the interludes are rich. The tunes are also mostly catchy. If theres something that anyone would find fault with, its the choice of singers again, as in his earlier albums! Lack of consistency of male voices, and monotony of the female voice might cause boredom to the listeners! On the whole, the music might boost the movie or live with it!
Playback Lyric Tune/Interlude/BGM
swaraala veeNa! eevELalOna
Chakri sounds better than in few of his earlier songs.The humming by female voice (Kousalya?) is also good. Chakris humminghowever ends in his breath intake! He still requires some refinement in hispronunciation. Expressions like rEyi cheera kappukunna chandamaama, vaalE poddulaa jaarE(nee) jaDa are innovative. The tune constricts the lyric at places, but is goodoverall, and catchy. The starting (ettugaDa) and parts of the song however remind the jaanu tenugu paaTa song from adbhutam (sonda kuraLil paaDa from amarkkalaam).The interludes also gel with the tune very much.
vennelE nuvvani
Chakri sounds differently again! Kousalya sounds okay,but a lower pitch could have been more melodious, probably. Pronunciation byboth of them in parts of the first charaNam (second stanza) is too bad! A typical duet takes a beautiful form in this lyric. keraTamai pongitE teeramaitaakanaa is a good expression. The interlude is differently Oriental-like, strings soundgood, before the humming accompanied by the occasional DaanDiyaa-like sound. The tune is good too.
chakiTachakiTataam (kalalu kanTaamu)
The lead humming is jolly and marks the mood of the song!A bit of expression would help understand the lyric better! Overall, Kousalyarenders the song really well but just not impeccable. This song seems to establish the heroine. The lyric seemsto go with the optimistic characterization of the heroine who dreams aboutthis world as Utopia and wants to see the same in reality. The interlude is good. The tune is catchy. Humming addedgood effect to the tune.
mannu tinE chinnatanam
Udit sings this song in his usual style, ending wordswith half-sounds (halant) likeHindi! Breaking words like EmunDadaaat wrong places give a very different meaning, and he better be told aboutthat! Kousalya takes the job of compensating his voice in this song! Is itnow customary that songs with the word gOpemmamust be sung by Udit, after the hit of raamaa chilakammaa and raadhE gOvindaa?! The lyric is interesting! Its a song where the heroineasks the hero to wait until theyre married! The beat is good. The racy interlude suits the tune, buta haunting interlude (say, with wind instruments) would go hand in hand withthe theme of the song!
nidurinchE raatirilO
Mathins voiceis heavy. His pronunciation is too bad, especially for the lines like (harivillu) varNaalanE nE aDaganI. Kousalyas voiceis good, and again tries to add melody to this song spoilt by the malecounterpart! chinukayyE mEghamlaa digi raalEnaa? is a niceexpression. Almost every line has such a notable expression in this lyric! The drumbeat in the BGM and interlude are both good.Listening to this tune and BGM gives an effect similar to an old Hindi number!
naa praaNam naa praNayam
Chakri sounds very differently in this song again! Itd probably be better if he sticks to a consistent voiceat least while singing for the same movie, and concentrate more on hispronunciation! The pronunciation for this song suits the mood, but careshould be taken not to miss clarity. The metaphors and similes used in the lyric are worthnoting. However, clichd wordings like aaSa-Swaasa can also be observed. The pain in the theme of the song is suitably representedby the BGM and the thumping beat.

"God, save Telugu Cinema music!" - This is all I can tell about this album. The music doesn't seem anywhere near Rahman-grade, the lyrics are not anywhere near Veturi-grade (well, they are almost utterly meaningless and insensible), the vocals are not very good, the rerecording and mixing were mediocre. Music overlap does not give great effects as might be intended; instead, they actually belittle the value of an otherwise good BGM - that's what happened with some songs in this album. No song's situation can be guessed because the lyrics give no clue. If you felt this album deserves a better rating than that is given here, attribute the discrepancy to factors like the carelessness of the moviemakers to give some value to a substance in a song called lyric, the lack of attention from the side of the one of the country's best composers in composing and choosing the playback singers. For the records, this is the least rating I have ever given to any movie's audio!
Playback
Lyric
Tune/Interlude/BGM
Hey goodbye priyaa!... (Duration: 4:59 minutes) (Rating: 2.5/5)
Sunitha Sarathy's mispronunciation of the letter 'Sa' was unbearable because of frequent occurrence in the first stanza. Her voice was too husky and does not impress upon the audience. The male voices are effective for the theme of the song, but well, only Shankar Mahadevan can be heard most the time. Did this song really require three different singers? The lyric does not sound very meaningful. What difference does it really make if Veturi writes no different than the typical A.M. Rathnam-style lyric for a dubbing song?! The BGM dominated the husky female voice. The piano in the background toward the end of the song is good, but does not synchronize with anything else (typical "Rahmanic") and thus might not register with most audience. The tune is typically Rahman's.
jana gaNa mana... (Duration: 4:58 minutes) (Rating: 2/5)
Rahman's voice seems very different and unsuitable. Karthik's voice is not very pronounced. This happens to be the title song of the song. The reference to the header of the National Anthem doesn't make much sense. Blame the playback voices used and the mixing for not being able to conceive the lyric fully. The BGM gives a different feel. The beat is good too. The song ends in a sound like that of a breaking glass. Doesn't that remind Michael Jackson's Dangerous? Was that the intended effect?

Goodwill Cinema
dongODu meesam melEsaaDaa antE!
Lead Cast: Raviteja, Kalyani, Rekha
Director: Bheemineni Sreenivasa Rao
Producer: Rushita Sai (Bheemineni Sreenivasa Rao presents)
Music: Vidyasagar
Audio Rights: Aditya Music
Lyrics: Chandra Bose (1); Seetarama Sastry (2, 3); Bhashasree (4, 5).
Playback: Shankar Mahadevan & Rimmi Tommy (1); Valisha Babji & Chitra (2); Hariharan & Sujatha (3); Karthik & Swarnalatha (4); Udit Narayan & Sreevardhini (5).
Overall Rating: 2.25/5
Summary:
When a song had lyrics like paalalO perugundOy, naa paiTalO baruvundOy..., it'll tell you something about the entire album. The lyrics such as those above and bad music combined together becomes unbearable. Vidyasagar scored music for Telugu movies like vaddu baavaa! tappu and made no impression among the Telugu audience earlier, but still made his mark further down south in Tamil/Malayalam movies. He recently shared the credit of being a music director for naaga but this movie did not bring him numerous chances to prove his skill in Tollywood. The movie under discussion doesn't make his position any better, and probably might make it worse.
1. kODi mundaa, guDDu mundaa... 1.5/5
Coming to the technical field, the music is too loud and it overtakes the singers voices. Shankar Mahadevan and Rimmi Tommy did okay but not good. But I dont blame them. How can they possibly express their talent in a song that goes kODi mundaa, guDDu mundaa, cheppukOvE konTe paapaa kOka mundaa, raika mundaa, cheppukOvoy chanTi baabU...! The master behind these lyrics is none other than Chandra Bose. As you can see, the description of the song is not any where near the word "good".
2. Dum Dum Dum... 3.5/5
The loudness of the music, which is caused by the usage of drums in this particular song, made this song a bit attractive. The first few lines of the charaNam-s are soft with any light music. Babji and Chitra did really well. Seetarama Sastry penned lyrics really well working with the theme of peLLi, where bride and grooms friends exchange retorts at each other. Brides friend sings veelu choosi nee vaalujaDaki pani cheppu jaali paDaka, gaalamEsi nee moguDi kaaLLu kaTTeyi kadalaneeka and the grooms friend snaps back with his lines.
3. enta pani chEsindE prEma... 3.25/5
The song starts off by the little words like ayyo.. vadulu... pOraa by the female lead. Now you know the situation of the song! Hariharan and Sujatha did well. There is nothing unique to mention about the music except the flute piece in the interlude. Seetarama Sastry penned nice lyrics like nuvvU nEnU puTTaka mundE vraasundE ee bandham.... Its worth listening for the lyrics.
4. soTTa buggala rukkumiNi... 2.5/5
The lyrics by Bhashasree take off as soTTa buggala rukkumiNi, piTTa sogasulEsukuni, gaTTu daaTi oopukunTU pOtE Music is okay and it has a folk touch to it. Karthik did a good job with pronunciation and Sujatha accompanied him well. A kids voice pops up in the middle of the song, and it is definitely cute, especially when he giggles! But most of the song doesnt make sense as far as the lyrics go. Anyway, I would listen to this one once to hear the kids voice.
5. meesaala gOpaalaa... 2.25/5
Udits pronunciation is worse than ever. Udit is singing significant amount of songs in the recent times. One fails to understand what is making Udits pronunciation so horrible. Sri Vardhini did well, however. The music for this one also has a folk-touch to it. The lyrics by Bhashasree try to bring out the nostalgia of the childhood days as they go neeku chinnanaaTi chemmachekka gurtu undaa.... If there is any grace in the song, it is tortured by Udit!

The main attraction of this album is six Music Directors, but those are all not for composing the tunes they each sung a song. Keeravani, Chakri, Devi Sri Prasad, RP Patnaik, Vandemataram and Srilekha each shared a song. Vandemataram gave an average to below average tunes and Dasari Lyrics for four songs are also not much impressive. Taidala Bapu & Ashok Teja also gave average lyrics for their limit of one song. In Playback Singers RP Patnaik, Devi Sri Prasad & Swarnalatha were good in their songs. Adugu Adugani, Soundaryama were the best picks of the album followed by Thannulu Thinte.
Soundaryama (Keeravani, Usha): Vandemataram has given a good melodious tune for the love duet. Keeravani also sings well and balanced. Usha's tone suited well to the song but she hasnt done a good job in the second stanza, her humming at the starting of the song was breezy. Lyrics by Dasari were good, but have less profound. Background beats and interludes are good and suited well to the mood of the song.
Bus Ekkithe (Chakri): The concept of the song is not convincible asking a ticket for Love by comparing Love with other things like Bus, Train etc. But the song attracts with different Lyrics, tune and Tone of the singer. Lyrics in the second stanza were not convincible and good. But Taidala Bapu has given the needed lyrics for the song. Chakri was the right choice of the song and he did well. Background beats and Interludes are not much good.
Aaku Chaatu Pindelam (Radhika, Sudharani): An average song, probably that was picturised on Shakeela and some others. Pallavi tune is good and singer also sang well. But they werent good after the first stanza. Pronunciation of the words by the singers is bad, some lyrics even were not able to hear. Most of the beats and tune is copied from some other songs, the tune of the words Tayyam Tattuyyam is from the song Nooziveedu Sonia from Avunu Valliddaru Ishtapaddaru. Lyrics by Shuddala Ashok Teja were just average. The impression of this vulgar song depends on the picturisation of the song, probably.
Thannulu Thinte (Devi Sri Prasad, Swarnalatha): Devi Sri Prasad & Swarnalatha were the right choice of the song, they have done a nice job. Lyrics were the highlight of the song. Dasari had given different and funny lyrics for the love song in the style of Chandrabose. The lines of Pallavi tannulu tinte tinnanu gaani junnu lanti kanne pilla vennelaga notikandindi, tippalu padite paddanu kaani laddu lanti buddi gaadu jiddu laaga antukunandu were funny. Tune and interluders are not freshy.
Adugu Adugani (RP Patnaik, Nishma): Tune is melodious but not much impressive. RP Patnaik & Nishma both had done a good job and their voice is good when singing the words Adugumari, Telupumari, Cheppumari, Emitadi and they sings well. Lyrics by Dasari are average.
Oyi Entoy (Vandemataram Srinivas, Sri Lekha): Tune and Lyrics are just average. Srilekha tone suited well to the song and she did a good job. Vandemataram also did an average job. Lyrics by Dasari werent impressive. Background beats and Interludes also not much impressive.

Chitram Movies
Jai
Producer: Teja
Director: Teja
Music Director: Anoop
Audio Rights: Sohan Music
Lyrics: Kulasekhar
Playback: Anoop, Tippu & Master Manu (1); Shreya Ghosal (2); Anoop & Usha (3); Tippu (4); Baby Pretty & N. Sreenivas (5); Mallikharjun & Chitra (6); Sumangali (7); Lalitha & Chorus (8).
Rating: 3.5/5
Summary:
Teja promotes Patnaik's keyboarder Anoop to score music for this prestigious project. Anoop, who comes from behind the scenes - the orchestra, arranged his orchestra efficiently. The choice of singers is appreciable, but the need for the variety of voices he uses cannot be commented so early. Now, is he going to take Patnaik's stride in singing a few songs that he composes? Though he doesn't sound bad as a singer (not very great either!), a music director playing back his own compositions generally proves to be fatal, particularly in these days. Kulasekhar's lyrics need appreciation! The songs may take some time to impress the audience, like the earlier music hit in this banner jayam. (There's no equation or comparison here with the music of jayam!)
Playback
Lyric
Tune/Interlude/BGM
Dhama Dhama Dhama DOlu koTTu... (jai jai jai...) (Duration: 4:35 minutes) (Rating: 3.75/5)
After Patnaik two-timing as the music director and singer in Teja's movies, it seems to be Anoop's turn now! He does an okay job as a singer. Tippu now sings in Telugu better than most native singers! The child's voice is also very suitable and appreciably active. All the voices suit the mood of the song. This is a funny lyric written for flirting guys. Kulasekhar writes a very catchy and meaningful lyric. This can be quoted as one of his good lyrics. The theme, tune, lyric to some extent, and even the singing style reminds of R.P.'s "erra gulaabI tallO peTTukunnaadi..." (sambaram) though singers differ. The beat is suitable for the mood of the song.
enni aaSalO chinni gunDe lOna... (Duration: 4:37 minutes) (Rating: 3.75/5)
Shreya sings this melody with a commendable voice modulation and expression. However, her pronunciation of certain letters like the Sa in the word aaSa, dha in the word baadha, etc. should have been rectified. This seems to be a heroine introduction song, and is aesthetically penned. The song seems to be typically set to a situation where the heroine sings about her heart while thinking about her love. The lead music, along with the humming, sets the mood of this sensuous female solo. The orchestration sounds very familiar and so does the tune, but the song leaves a resonating impression on the audience.
O manasaa O manasaa... (Duration: 4:40 minutes) (Rating: 2.5/5)
Usha does a neat job like always. Anoop's voice might not suit melodies, and seems to be influenced by certain other singers. His rendition in this song is passable. This is a just-fallen-in-love kind of duet penned in a clichd manner. The use of English words like "support", "doubt" seem unnatural choices at those places. The lead music surprises the first time listener because the song header suggests a smooth melody whereas this song is actually a western-styled beat-based number! The orchestra has a bit of everything, making the song a mixture of folk, new-age, western, and classical styles.
One two three... (Duration: 4:56 minutes) (Rating: 3/5)
Tippu modulates his voice as necessitated by this western-styled "number". The lyric is innovative, and tells the importance of numbers in daily life, and also has satirical lines like "egirE flight ki O number, munigE bus ki O number". Anoop tries to bring a fusion of western tune and orchestration and Indian classical music in the interludes.
dESam manadE... (vandE maataram...) (Duration: 4:11 minutes) (Rating: 3/5)
Baby Pretty sings well, but suffers exactly the pronunciation defects as Shreya does in song #2, but this flaw has become too common these days even by adults, thanks to the influence of Hindi on our lives. Sreenivas adds his voice only to a part of the song. The song is patriotic in its theme but does not go aggressive. The song raises the voice of unity among Indians. vinaraa vinaraa... (Roja) has influenced many songs of this genre in the aspects of tune, orchestration in interludes and BGM, and chorus effects. This song is no exception. Nevertheless, this song is worth listening, particularly the audience who like such songs might not want to miss this.
nee kannullO... (nee kOsamE...) (Duration: 5:19 minutes) (Rating: 3.75/5)
Mallikharjun proves himself again with this soothing pathos number. Chitra needs no particular critique today, she is just great. Both signers instill audience's emotions. This song probably comes towards the climax of the movie, (or) when the lead pair is separated by unavoidable circumstances. The BGM sometimes dominates the vocals. The tune is impressive. The song comes with orchestration and interludes that are worth mentioning.
naa chEtilOna... (Duration: 2:56 minutes) (Rating: 3.5/5)
Sumangali's voice sounds unnecessarily young, if it is for the heroine (which seems obvious from the lyric)! The smooth gliding of notes (gamaka) at places sounds beautiful in this bit song. This is a song of the heroine singing for the hero, asking him lovingly to stay with her forever. The lalalaa... humming reminds of "machilIpatnam maaviDi chigurulO..." (merupu kalalu). Interludes sound good.
chuTTammO chuTTa aNaa... (Duration: 3:49 minutes) (Rating: 3.25/5)
Lalitha's voice is very different and suits the folk-like mood of the song. The male voice (Anoop?) doesn't seem to be credited in the audio. This song, interestingly, about cigars, or more familiarly, about chuTTa. The lyric also goes ahead to explain how a chuTTa is typically rolled. The lyric is good, but lacks catchiness. The beat, tune, and orchestration for this song go by the country-based folk-like theme. However, the words are not catchy and thus this song might not move up the charts much.

Sumanth Art Productions
varsham
Producer: M. S. Raju
Director: Sobhan
Music Director: DeviSri Prasad
Audio Rights: Aditya Music (India) Limited
Lyrics: sirivennela Seetarama Sastry
Playback: Kalpana, Chitra & Raqeeb Alam (1), S. P. Charan & Sumangali (2), Tippu & Usha (3), Mallikharjun & Kalpana (4), Karthik & Shreya Ghosal (5), Sagar & Sumangali (6), Adnan Sami & Sunita Rao (7)
Rating: 4.25/5
Summary:
DeviSri Prasad comes up with songs that can be elevated by visuals, but also can stand by themselves. Most numbers are mass-oriented and he uses his orchestra deftly to create the moods for the songs. Particular mention of the lyrics is surely necessary for this album. Seetarama Sastry penned all the lyrics and adds another 'single-card' to his credit. What is worth mentioning is his rendition of mass-oriented songs in a freely flowing, catchy manner using simple words and some words that are getting extinct, so to say! However, his typical style does not miss in any lyric - his wordplay, expressions, similes, rhyme, etc. stay the same but only change their orientation! Choice of singers sometimes seemed unreasonable - that is the only major shortcoming I should say, if I have to pick one! Also, DeviSri should see that his orchestration does not get routine.
Playback
Lyric
Tune/Interlude/BGM
chinuku ravvalO... (nuvvostaananTE...) (Duration: 5:11 minutes)
Chitra renders this song effectively, like always. Raqeeb's voice suited the mood of the song. Kalpana's voice comes as a humming in the start of the song. The song is an invitation to rain, but is written differently, and seems thematically different from kaalE mEghaa... (Hindi movie lagaan) and the ghallughallumani... (indra) songs. The song, which has a folk touch associated with it, is nicely written in simple words. Interludes are impressive, especially the splashing sound of water adds a nice effect. The flute, blended with drum beat, in the BGM towards the ending is good. The lead music reminds of the funny lead music of kannepeTTarO... from Hello Brother. The "Ektaara" in the lead music is good. Probably also because of the theme/style of the song, the tune reminds the chilakammaa chiTikEyangaa... (daLapati) song at places, nevertheless being catchy.
mellagaa karaganee... (Duration:4:59 minutes)
Charan modulates his voice effectively. Sumangali's pronunciations of certain words is unclear or wrong. Her voice gets too high-pitched in subsequent stanzas. A sizzling duet that runs thematically bringing rain into picture. Orchestration is typical of DeviSri. The heavy beat dominates the lyrics very inconsiderately. A lower pitch in the tune would have made the song better.
langaa vONee... (Duration:3:29 minutes)
Tippu is really improving from song to song, movie to movie! He surely deserves more than a pat for his efforts to pronounce Telugu better! Usha is at her usual best. Though this kind of lyric from Seetarama Sastry might be surprising to many, this only reminds me numerous mass-oriented songs he wrote in the past. His mark doesn't miss anyway - carefully observe the charaNam-s, and you can see that his wordplay, his beautiful expressions, his unique words are all there! This mass-oriented number has a suitable beat, orchestration, and more important, a catchy tune. It can easily catch up with the audience, also consideration the totally mass-oriented lead lines!
joolee joolee... (Duration:4:45 minutes)
Mallikharjun sounds different and very apt. Kalpana does a good job too. Another mass-oriented song from Seetarama Sastry! The rhyming in the lines is worth notable. The lead music lacks freshness to some extent, but soon blends into the tune. The interlude is filled with fast beat. The BGM balances it with a slow pace. The tune surely catches up soon among the audience.
kOpamaa naa paina... (Duration: 4:39 minutes)
Shreya sounds sweet. Karthik sings suitably too. A song mainly sung by the female lead asking her love to cool down his hot temper. The classy touch of tune and the interludes impress the audience. The tune is catchy too. The lead music sets the mood of the song effectively.
neeTi mullai... (Duration:1:15 minutes)
Sagar's voice is well-modulated but lacks clarity. Sumangali adds her sweet melody towards the end of the song. This bit song has its own beauty embedded in four lines. It borrows the last line from song #1, but this time it's a duet. Though a bit song, this is melody-filled to make it a memorable bit.
nacchaavE naizaam pOree... (Duration: 3:56 minutes)
Adnan Sami sings okay in Telugu, but his pronunciation gets unclear at places. Sunita Rao's pronunciation is better but is not great either. Her voice was piercingly high-pitched. This lyric surely surprises most of those who have been following Seetarama Sastry's career! It's probably the first of its kind he writes with so many Hindi words in the lyric and excels in it with ease! His style does not miss in the rhyming or wordplay. The tune, orchestration, interludes, and BGM - all have a middle Eastern infleunce on them. The drums in the background add a foot-tapping beat to the song. The interludes make one sway with the music.

palanaaTi brahmanaayuDu - Audio Review
By NaChaKi
Jun 5, 2003, 10:46
Venkataramana Productions Private Limited
palanaaTi brahmanaayuDu
Producer: Medikonda Muralikrishna
Director: B. Gopal
Music Director: Mani Sarma
Audio Rights: Aditya Music
Lyrics: Bhuvanachandra (1-5); Vennelakanti (6).
Playback: Malli & Kalpana (1); Shankar Mahadevan & Chitra (2); Udit Narayan & Chitra (3); Karthik & Radhika Poornima (4); Mano & Shalini (5); S.P.B. & Kalpana (6).
Rating: 3.5/5
Summary:
The beat for all the songs is active, indicating that they might be accompanied by good choreography on the screen. Almost all numbers are mass-oriented, and so are the lyrics. Inconsistency of singers seems to have hit Mani Sarma too this time.
Playback
Lyric
Tune/Interlude/BGM
bRndaavanamlO...
Kalpana's voice is more on the melody side, especially when compared to her renditions for the same music director earlier in movies like Takkari donga and indra. Malli does a good job too. The song starts with a nice pallavi but turns mass-oriented again, with clichd usages in the subsequent stanzas. The interlude with the strings attracts the audience. Clapping adds appreciable effect to the beat.
bandarulO bus stand lO...
Chitra and Shankar Mahadevan fill life into this racy duet with their effective rendition. The mass-oriented song has a lyric to meet the need! The interludes are good. The beat suits the mood of the song.
OsOsi poolateegaa...
Udit is again bad, like he is most of the time. It's probably the audience's luck that Chitra is generally used by the side of his voice to compensate the effect. This song has a simple and neat lyric by Bhuvanachandra for a typical duet. The composition, based on raaga Sivaranjani, is good, and the strings add a greater beauty to the song. The humming in the interlude went high-pitched.
sarasaala sundarayyaa...
Radhika Poornima's voice is sweet. She proves that she can sing mass-oriented numbers too! Karthik's voice is okay, but it could have been more active! (Though credits seem to mention the two parts of the female singer's name as two different names, I guess it's only one singer!) The lyric indicates that the song is picturized on the hero and the two heroines. The lead humming by chorus voices is very much like Mani Sarma's compositions in Takkari donga. The beat in the interlude is good.
palaka, balapam...
Shalini's voice seems a bit high-pitched but suits the mood of the song. Mano renders this song with ease. Another typical mass-oriented duet. The lyric uses Telugu varNamaala (alphabet) in its lines just like that. The tune and beat are typical of Mani Sarma. The tune is catchy.
gunDammO gunDammO...
Kalpana again sounds like in her previous songs. This song is again rendered by Balu and Kalpana for Mani Sarma and sounds hackneyed. Vennelakanti writes this song in the typical style of Bhuvanachandra, who penned all the other songs in the movie. The lyric is written interestingly, mentioning various localities of Hyderabad, but unfortunately not making much meaning for the rhyming. A few other rhyming words were exactly the ones used for similar combinations of singers and music director! The tune is typical of Mani Sarma, especially for the pallavi. The beat is active.

Dongaramudu And Party: Audio Roundup

This week in Audio Roundup: Dongaramudu And Party
Donga Ramudu & Party is yet another attempt of making unconventional cinema. As the title suggests this is a typical Vamsi movie, the album derives inspiration from typical Vamsi movies albums, that is evident from the song Prema Panchami. The album contains Duets. Vamsis movie songs have not only enthralled the audience but have also contributed to the success of the respective movies and this album would leave the avid Vamsi fans craving for the movie release.
siri siri is a Duet, when a thief (Donga) fall in love, is quite impressive and was a well composed song.
prema panchami is another easy, breezy song and has typical Vamsi movie beats.
Another track, which is quite impressive, is the duet by Srinivas & Sujatha, chali rathiri.
The slow melodious edo edo lacks novelty most of the tune resemblance of some song or the other of Chakris previous compositions.
Kallona Nuvvu, another song from the album, beautifully sung by SPB and Sujatha though the tune and interludes are not fresh.
Another impressive song of the album was Vannelunna Nari
Lyrics of the album are quite impressive for a couple of songs given by Thanikella Shankar.
Its been sometime that SPB singing most of the songs. Here, he renders four songs with Sujatha and one with Sunitha. The album showcases SPBs versatility, being such a fantastic singer, with his unique voice, has given the album a new lease of life. On the whole, an album worth listen to.
Stay tuned for detailed Audio Review

Telugu Lyrics
Summary:
Lyrics score a bit more on the indicated rating for these songs. These songs make one listen to them repeatedly. Trivikram, who has already exhibited his flair in penning dialogues and directing a movie, now comes up with lyrics for the album, as a commendable single-card lyricist! If one has to set a comparison to scale his talent as a lyricist, the expressiveness in his words reminds the audience to a few numbers by sirivennela Seetarama Sastry, his metre-less lines might remind of aachaarya Aatreya, and his usage of words is like Veturi; his style (Saili) cannot however be estimated yet. Only at some places, the usage of words gives ambiguous meaning to certain lines. Chakris orchestration is good, and the interludes are rich. The tunes are also mostly catchy. If theres something that anyone would find fault with, its the choice of singers again, as in his earlier albums! Lack of consistency of male voices, and monotony of the female voice might cause boredom to the listeners! On the whole, the music might boost the movie or live with it!
Playback Lyric Tune/Interlude/BGM
swaraala veeNa! eevELalOna
Chakri sounds better than in few of his earlier songs.The humming by female voice (Kousalya?) is also good. Chakris humminghowever ends in his breath intake! He still requires some refinement in hispronunciation. Expressions like rEyi cheera kappukunna chandamaama, vaalE poddulaa jaarE(nee) jaDa are innovative. The tune constricts the lyric at places, but is goodoverall, and catchy. The starting (ettugaDa) and parts of the song however remind the jaanu tenugu paaTa song from adbhutam (sonda kuraLil paaDa from amarkkalaam).The interludes also gel with the tune very much.
vennelE nuvvani
Chakri sounds differently again! Kousalya sounds okay,but a lower pitch could have been more melodious, probably. Pronunciation byboth of them in parts of the first charaNam (second stanza) is too bad! A typical duet takes a beautiful form in this lyric. keraTamai pongitE teeramaitaakanaa is a good expression. The interlude is differently Oriental-like, strings soundgood, before the humming accompanied by the occasional DaanDiyaa-like sound. The tune is good too.
chakiTachakiTataam (kalalu kanTaamu)
The lead humming is jolly and marks the mood of the song!A bit of expression would help understand the lyric better! Overall, Kousalyarenders the song really well but just not impeccable. This song seems to establish the heroine. The lyric seemsto go with the optimistic characterization of the heroine who dreams aboutthis world as Utopia and wants to see the same in reality. The interlude is good. The tune is catchy. Humming addedgood effect to the tune.
mannu tinE chinnatanam
Udit sings this song in his usual style, ending wordswith half-sounds (halant) likeHindi! Breaking words like EmunDadaaat wrong places give a very different meaning, and he better be told aboutthat! Kousalya takes the job of compensating his voice in this song! Is itnow customary that songs with the word gOpemmamust be sung by Udit, after the hit of raamaa chilakammaa and raadhE gOvindaa?! The lyric is interesting! Its a song where the heroineasks the hero to wait until theyre married! The beat is good. The racy interlude suits the tune, buta haunting interlude (say, with wind instruments) would go hand in hand withthe theme of the song!
nidurinchE raatirilO
Mathins voiceis heavy. His pronunciation is too bad, especially for the lines like (harivillu) varNaalanE nE aDaganI. Kousalyas voiceis good, and again tries to add melody to this song spoilt by the malecounterpart! chinukayyE mEghamlaa digi raalEnaa? is a niceexpression. Almost every line has such a notable expression in this lyric! The drumbeat in the BGM and interlude are both good.Listening to this tune and BGM gives an effect similar to an old Hindi number!
naa praaNam naa praNayam
Chakri sounds very differently in this song again! Itd probably be better if he sticks to a consistent voiceat least while singing for the same movie, and concentrate more on hispronunciation! The pronunciation for this song suits the mood, but careshould be taken not to miss clarity. The metaphors and similes used in the lyric are worthnoting. However, clichd wordings like aaSa-Swaasa can also be observed. The pain in the theme of the song is suitably representedby the BGM and the thumping beat.

Rating: 2.0/5
Summary:
"God, save Telugu Cinema music!" - This is all I can tell about this album. The music doesn't seem anywhere near Rahman-grade, the lyrics are not anywhere near Veturi-grade (well, they are almost utterly meaningless and insensible), the vocals are not very good, the rerecording and mixing were mediocre. Music overlap does not give great effects as might be intended; instead, they actually belittle the value of an otherwise good BGM - that's what happened with some songs in this album. No song's situation can be guessed because the lyrics give no clue. If you felt this album deserves a better rating than that is given here, attribute the discrepancy to factors like the carelessness of the moviemakers to give some value to a substance in a song called lyric, the lack of attention from the side of the one of the country's best composers in composing and choosing the playback singers. For the records, this is the least rating I have ever given to any movie's audio!
Playback
Lyric
Tune/Interlude/BGM
Hey goodbye priyaa!... (Duration: 4:59 minutes) (Rating: 2.5/5)
Sunitha Sarathy's mispronunciation of the letter 'Sa' was unbearable because of frequent occurrence in the first stanza. Her voice was too husky and does not impress upon the audience. The male voices are effective for the theme of the song, but well, only Shankar Mahadevan can be heard most the time. Did this song really require three different singers? The lyric does not sound very meaningful. What difference does it really make if Veturi writes no different than the typical A.M. Rathnam-style lyric for a dubbing song?! The BGM dominated the husky female voice. The piano in the background toward the end of the song is good, but does not synchronize with anything else (typical "Rahmanic") and thus might not register with most audience. The tune is typically Rahman's.
jana gaNa mana... (Duration: 4:58 minutes) (Rating: 2/5)
Rahman's voice seems very different and unsuitable. Karthik's voice is not very pronounced. This happens to be the title song of the song. The reference to the header of the National Anthem doesn't make much sense. Blame the playback voices used and the mixing for not being able to conceive the lyric fully. The BGM gives a different feel. The beat is good too. The song ends in a sound like that of a breaking glass. Doesn't that remind Michael Jackson's Dangerous? Was that the intended effect?

dongODu - Audio Review
By Kavya
Aug 8, 2003, 02:31
Goodwill Cinema
dongODu meesam melEsaaDaa antE!
Lead Cast: Raviteja, Kalyani, Rekha
Director: Bheemineni Sreenivasa Rao
Producer: Rushita Sai (Bheemineni Sreenivasa Rao presents)
Music: Vidyasagar
Audio Rights: Aditya Music
Lyrics: Chandra Bose (1); Seetarama Sastry (2, 3); Bhashasree (4, 5).
Playback: Shankar Mahadevan & Rimmi Tommy (1); Valisha Babji & Chitra (2); Hariharan & Sujatha (3); Karthik & Swarnalatha (4); Udit Narayan & Sreevardhini (5).
Overall Rating: 2.25/5
Summary:
When a song had lyrics like paalalO perugundOy, naa paiTalO baruvundOy..., it'll tell you something about the entire album. The lyrics such as those above and bad music combined together becomes unbearable. Vidyasagar scored music for Telugu movies like vaddu baavaa! tappu and made no impression among the Telugu audience earlier, but still made his mark further down south in Tamil/Malayalam movies. He recently shared the credit of being a music director for naaga but this movie did not bring him numerous chances to prove his skill in Tollywood. The movie under discussion doesn't make his position any better, and probably might make it worse.
1. kODi mundaa, guDDu mundaa... 1.5/5
Coming to the technical field, the music is too loud and it overtakes the singers voices. Shankar Mahadevan and Rimmi Tommy did okay but not good. But I dont blame them. How can they possibly express their talent in a song that goes kODi mundaa, guDDu mundaa, cheppukOvE konTe paapaa kOka mundaa, raika mundaa, cheppukOvoy chanTi baabU...! The master behind these lyrics is none other than Chandra Bose. As you can see, the description of the song is not any where near the word "good".
2. Dum Dum Dum... 3.5/5
The loudness of the music, which is caused by the usage of drums in this particular song, made this song a bit attractive. The first few lines of the charaNam-s are soft with any light music. Babji and Chitra did really well. Seetarama Sastry penned lyrics really well working with the theme of peLLi, where bride and grooms friends exchange retorts at each other. Brides friend sings veelu choosi nee vaalujaDaki pani cheppu jaali paDaka, gaalamEsi nee moguDi kaaLLu kaTTeyi kadalaneeka and the grooms friend snaps back with his lines.
3. enta pani chEsindE prEma... 3.25/5
The song starts off by the little words like ayyo.. vadulu... pOraa by the female lead. Now you know the situation of the song! Hariharan and Sujatha did well. There is nothing unique to mention about the music except the flute piece in the interlude. Seetarama Sastry penned nice lyrics like nuvvU nEnU puTTaka mundE vraasundE ee bandham.... Its worth listening for the lyrics.
4. soTTa buggala rukkumiNi... 2.5/5
The lyrics by Bhashasree take off as soTTa buggala rukkumiNi, piTTa sogasulEsukuni, gaTTu daaTi oopukunTU pOtE Music is okay and it has a folk touch to it. Karthik did a good job with pronunciation and Sujatha accompanied him well. A kids voice pops up in the middle of the song, and it is definitely cute, especially when he giggles! But most of the song doesnt make sense as far as the lyrics go. Anyway, I would listen to this one once to hear the kids voice.
5. meesaala gOpaalaa... 2.25/5
Udits pronunciation is worse than ever. Udit is singing significant amount of songs in the recent times. One fails to understand what is making Udits pronunciation so horrible. Sri Vardhini did well, however. The music for this one also has a folk-touch to it. The lyrics by Bhashasree try to bring out the nostalgia of the childhood days as they go neeku chinnanaaTi chemmachekka gurtu undaa.... If there is any grace in the song, it is tortured by Udit!

The main attraction of this album is six Music Directors, but those are all not for composing the tunes they each sung a song. Keeravani, Chakri, Devi Sri Prasad, RP Patnaik, Vandemataram and Srilekha each shared a song. Vandemataram gave an average to below average tunes and Dasari Lyrics for four songs are also not much impressive. Taidala Bapu & Ashok Teja also gave average lyrics for their limit of one song. In Playback Singers RP Patnaik, Devi Sri Prasad & Swarnalatha were good in their songs. Adugu Adugani, Soundaryama were the best picks of the album followed by Thannulu Thinte.
Soundaryama (Keeravani, Usha): Vandemataram has given a good melodious tune for the love duet. Keeravani also sings well and balanced. Usha's tone suited well to the song but she hasnt done a good job in the second stanza, her humming at the starting of the song was breezy. Lyrics by Dasari were good, but have less profound. Background beats and interludes are good and suited well to the mood of the song.
Bus Ekkithe (Chakri): The concept of the song is not convincible asking a ticket for Love by comparing Love with other things like Bus, Train etc. But the song attracts with different Lyrics, tune and Tone of the singer. Lyrics in the second stanza were not convincible and good. But Taidala Bapu has given the needed lyrics for the song. Chakri was the right choice of the song and he did well. Background beats and Interludes are not much good.
Aaku Chaatu Pindelam (Radhika, Sudharani): An average song, probably that was picturised on Shakeela and some others. Pallavi tune is good and singer also sang well. But they werent good after the first stanza. Pronunciation of the words by the singers is bad, some lyrics even were not able to hear. Most of the beats and tune is copied from some other songs, the tune of the words Tayyam Tattuyyam is from the song Nooziveedu Sonia from Avunu Valliddaru Ishtapaddaru. Lyrics by Shuddala Ashok Teja were just average. The impression of this vulgar song depends on the picturisation of the song, probably.
Thannulu Thinte (Devi Sri Prasad, Swarnalatha): Devi Sri Prasad & Swarnalatha were the right choice of the song, they have done a nice job. Lyrics were the highlight of the song. Dasari had given different and funny lyrics for the love song in the style of Chandrabose. The lines of Pallavi tannulu tinte tinnanu gaani junnu lanti kanne pilla vennelaga notikandindi, tippalu padite paddanu kaani laddu lanti buddi gaadu jiddu laaga antukunandu were funny. Tune and interluders are not freshy.
Adugu Adugani (RP Patnaik, Nishma): Tune is melodious but not much impressive. RP Patnaik & Nishma both had done a good job and their voice is good when singing the words Adugumari, Telupumari, Cheppumari, Emitadi and they sings well. Lyrics by Dasari are average.
Oyi Entoy (Vandemataram Srinivas, Sri Lekha): Tune and Lyrics are just average. Srilekha tone suited well to the song and she did a good job. Vandemataram also did an average job. Lyrics by Dasari werent impressive. Background beats and Interludes also not much impressive.

Chitram Movies
Jai
Producer: Teja
Director: Teja
Music Director: Anoop
Audio Rights: Sohan Music
Lyrics: Kulasekhar
Playback: Anoop, Tippu & Master Manu (1); Shreya Ghosal (2); Anoop & Usha (3); Tippu (4); Baby Pretty & N. Sreenivas (5); Mallikharjun & Chitra (6); Sumangali (7); Lalitha & Chorus (8).
Rating: 3.5/5
Summary:
Teja promotes Patnaik's keyboarder Anoop to score music for this prestigious project. Anoop, who comes from behind the scenes - the orchestra, arranged his orchestra efficiently. The choice of singers is appreciable, but the need for the variety of voices he uses cannot be commented so early. Now, is he going to take Patnaik's stride in singing a few songs that he composes? Though he doesn't sound bad as a singer (not very great either!), a music director playing back his own compositions generally proves to be fatal, particularly in these days. Kulasekhar's lyrics need appreciation! The songs may take some time to impress the audience, like the earlier music hit in this banner jayam. (There's no equation or comparison here with the music of jayam!)
Playback
Lyric
Tune/Interlude/BGM
Dhama Dhama Dhama DOlu koTTu... (jai jai jai...) (Duration: 4:35 minutes) (Rating: 3.75/5)
After Patnaik two-timing as the music director and singer in Teja's movies, it seems to be Anoop's turn now! He does an okay job as a singer. Tippu now sings in Telugu better than most native singers! The child's voice is also very suitable and appreciably active. All the voices suit the mood of the song. This is a funny lyric written for flirting guys. Kulasekhar writes a very catchy and meaningful lyric. This can be quoted as one of his good lyrics. The theme, tune, lyric to some extent, and even the singing style reminds of R.P.'s "erra gulaabI tallO peTTukunnaadi..." (sambaram) though singers differ. The beat is suitable for the mood of the song.
enni aaSalO chinni gunDe lOna... (Duration: 4:37 minutes) (Rating: 3.75/5)
Shreya sings this melody with a commendable voice modulation and expression. However, her pronunciation of certain letters like the Sa in the word aaSa, dha in the word baadha, etc. should have been rectified. This seems to be a heroine introduction song, and is aesthetically penned. The song seems to be typically set to a situation where the heroine sings about her heart while thinking about her love. The lead music, along with the humming, sets the mood of this sensuous female solo. The orchestration sounds very familiar and so does the tune, but the song leaves a resonating impression on the audience.
O manasaa O manasaa... (Duration: 4:40 minutes) (Rating: 2.5/5)
Usha does a neat job like always. Anoop's voice might not suit melodies, and seems to be influenced by certain other singers. His rendition in this song is passable. This is a just-fallen-in-love kind of duet penned in a clichd manner. The use of English words like "support", "doubt" seem unnatural choices at those places. The lead music surprises the first time listener because the song header suggests a smooth melody whereas this song is actually a western-styled beat-based number! The orchestra has a bit of everything, making the song a mixture of folk, new-age, western, and classical styles.
One two three... (Duration: 4:56 minutes) (Rating: 3/5)
Tippu modulates his voice as necessitated by this western-styled "number". The lyric is innovative, and tells the importance of numbers in daily life, and also has satirical lines like "egirE flight ki O number, munigE bus ki O number". Anoop tries to bring a fusion of western tune and orchestration and Indian classical music in the interludes.
dESam manadE... (vandE maataram...) (Duration: 4:11 minutes) (Rating: 3/5)
Baby Pretty sings well, but suffers exactly the pronunciation defects as Shreya does in song #2, but this flaw has become too common these days even by adults, thanks to the influence of Hindi on our lives. Sreenivas adds his voice only to a part of the song. The song is patriotic in its theme but does not go aggressive. The song raises the voice of unity among Indians. vinaraa vinaraa... (Roja) has influenced many songs of this genre in the aspects of tune, orchestration in interludes and BGM, and chorus effects. This song is no exception. Nevertheless, this song is worth listening, particularly the audience who like such songs might not want to miss this.
nee kannullO... (nee kOsamE...) (Duration: 5:19 minutes) (Rating: 3.75/5)
Mallikharjun proves himself again with this soothing pathos number. Chitra needs no particular critique today, she is just great. Both signers instill audience's emotions. This song probably comes towards the climax of the movie, (or) when the lead pair is separated by unavoidable circumstances. The BGM sometimes dominates the vocals. The tune is impressive. The song comes with orchestration and interludes that are worth mentioning.
naa chEtilOna... (Duration: 2:56 minutes) (Rating: 3.5/5)
Sumangali's voice sounds unnecessarily young, if it is for the heroine (which seems obvious from the lyric)! The smooth gliding of notes (gamaka) at places sounds beautiful in this bit song. This is a song of the heroine singing for the hero, asking him lovingly to stay with her forever. The lalalaa... humming reminds of "machilIpatnam maaviDi chigurulO..." (merupu kalalu). Interludes sound good.
chuTTammO chuTTa aNaa... (Duration: 3:49 minutes) (Rating: 3.25/5)
Lalitha's voice is very different and suits the folk-like mood of the song. The male voice (Anoop?) doesn't seem to be credited in the audio. This song, interestingly, about cigars, or more familiarly, about chuTTa. The lyric also goes ahead to explain how a chuTTa is typically rolled. The lyric is good, but lacks catchiness. The beat, tune, and orchestration for this song go by the country-based folk-like theme. However, the words are not catchy and thus this song might not move up the charts much.

Producer: M. S. Raju
Director: Sobhan
Music Director: DeviSri Prasad
Audio Rights: Aditya Music (India) Limited
Lyrics: sirivennela Seetarama Sastry
Playback: Kalpana, Chitra & Raqeeb Alam (1), S. P. Charan & Sumangali (2), Tippu & Usha (3), Mallikharjun & Kalpana (4), Karthik & Shreya Ghosal (5), Sagar & Sumangali (6), Adnan Sami & Sunita Rao (7)
Rating: 4.25/5
Summary:
DeviSri Prasad comes up with songs that can be elevated by visuals, but also can stand by themselves. Most numbers are mass-oriented and he uses his orchestra deftly to create the moods for the songs. Particular mention of the lyrics is surely necessary for this album. Seetarama Sastry penned all the lyrics and adds another 'single-card' to his credit. What is worth mentioning is his rendition of mass-oriented songs in a freely flowing, catchy manner using simple words and some words that are getting extinct, so to say! However, his typical style does not miss in any lyric - his wordplay, expressions, similes, rhyme, etc. stay the same but only change their orientation! Choice of singers sometimes seemed unreasonable - that is the only major shortcoming I should say, if I have to pick one! Also, DeviSri should see that his orchestration does not get routine.
Playback
Lyric
Tune/Interlude/BGM
chinuku ravvalO... (nuvvostaananTE...) (Duration: 5:11 minutes)
Chitra renders this song effectively, like always. Raqeeb's voice suited the mood of the song. Kalpana's voice comes as a humming in the start of the song. The song is an invitation to rain, but is written differently, and seems thematically different from kaalE mEghaa... (Hindi movie lagaan) and the ghallughallumani... (indra) songs. The song, which has a folk touch associated with it, is nicely written in simple words. Interludes are impressive, especially the splashing sound of water adds a nice effect. The flute, blended with drum beat, in the BGM towards the ending is good. The lead music reminds of the funny lead music of kannepeTTarO... from Hello Brother. The "Ektaara" in the lead music is good. Probably also because of the theme/style of the song, the tune reminds the chilakammaa chiTikEyangaa... (daLapati) song at places, nevertheless being catchy.
mellagaa karaganee... (Duration:4:59 minutes)
Charan modulates his voice effectively. Sumangali's pronunciations of certain words is unclear or wrong. Her voice gets too high-pitched in subsequent stanzas. A sizzling duet that runs thematically bringing rain into picture. Orchestration is typical of DeviSri. The heavy beat dominates the lyrics very inconsiderately. A lower pitch in the tune would have made the song better.
langaa vONee... (Duration:3:29 minutes)
Tippu is really improving from song to song, movie to movie! He surely deserves more than a pat for his efforts to pronounce Telugu better! Usha is at her usual best. Though this kind of lyric from Seetarama Sastry might be surprising to many, this only reminds me numerous mass-oriented songs he wrote in the past. His mark doesn't miss anyway - carefully observe the charaNam-s, and you can see that his wordplay, his beautiful expressions, his unique words are all there! This mass-oriented number has a suitable beat, orchestration, and more important, a catchy tune. It can easily catch up with the audience, also consideration the totally mass-oriented lead lines!
joolee joolee... (Duration:4:45 minutes)
Mallikharjun sounds different and very apt. Kalpana does a good job too. Another mass-oriented song from Seetarama Sastry! The rhyming in the lines is worth notable. The lead music lacks freshness to some extent, but soon blends into the tune. The interlude is filled with fast beat. The BGM balances it with a slow pace. The tune surely catches up soon among the audience.
kOpamaa naa paina... (Duration: 4:39 minutes)
Shreya sounds sweet. Karthik sings suitably too. A song mainly sung by the female lead asking her love to cool down his hot temper. The classy touch of tune and the interludes impress the audience. The tune is catchy too. The lead music sets the mood of the song effectively.
neeTi mullai... (Duration:1:15 minutes)
Sagar's voice is well-modulated but lacks clarity. Sumangali adds her sweet melody towards the end of the song. This bit song has its own beauty embedded in four lines. It borrows the last line from song #1, but this time it's a duet. Though a bit song, this is melody-filled to make it a memorable bit.
nacchaavE naizaam pOree... (Duration: 3:56 minutes)
Adnan Sami sings okay in Telugu, but his pronunciation gets unclear at places. Sunita Rao's pronunciation is better but is not great either. Her voice was piercingly high-pitched. This lyric surely surprises most of those who have been following Seetarama Sastry's career! It's probably the first of its kind he writes with so many Hindi words in the lyric and excels in it with ease! His style does not miss in the rhyming or wordplay. The tune, orchestration, interludes, and BGM - all have a middle Eastern infleunce on them. The drums in the background add a foot-tapping beat to the song. The interludes make one sway with the music.

palanaaTi brahmanaayuDu - Audio Review
By NaChaKi
Jun 5, 2003, 10:46
Venkataramana Productions Private Limited
palanaaTi brahmanaayuDu
Producer: Medikonda Muralikrishna
Director: B. Gopal
Music Director: Mani Sarma
Audio Rights: Aditya Music
Lyrics: Bhuvanachandra (1-5); Vennelakanti (6).
Playback: Malli & Kalpana (1); Shankar Mahadevan & Chitra (2); Udit Narayan & Chitra (3); Karthik & Radhika Poornima (4); Mano & Shalini (5); S.P.B. & Kalpana (6).
Rating: 3.5/5
Summary:
The beat for all the songs is active, indicating that they might be accompanied by good choreography on the screen. Almost all numbers are mass-oriented, and so are the lyrics. Inconsistency of singers seems to have hit Mani Sarma too this time.
Playback
Lyric
Tune/Interlude/BGM
bRndaavanamlO...
Kalpana's voice is more on the melody side, especially when compared to her renditions for the same music director earlier in movies like Takkari donga and indra. Malli does a good job too. The song starts with a nice pallavi but turns mass-oriented again, with clichd usages in the subsequent stanzas. The interlude with the strings attracts the audience. Clapping adds appreciable effect to the beat.
bandarulO bus stand lO...
Chitra and Shankar Mahadevan fill life into this racy duet with their effective rendition. The mass-oriented song has a lyric to meet the need! The interludes are good. The beat suits the mood of the song.
OsOsi poolateegaa...
Udit is again bad, like he is most of the time. It's probably the audience's luck that Chitra is generally used by the side of his voice to compensate the effect. This song has a simple and neat lyric by Bhuvanachandra for a typical duet. The composition, based on raaga Sivaranjani, is good, and the strings add a greater beauty to the song. The humming in the interlude went high-pitched.
sarasaala sundarayyaa...
Radhika Poornima's voice is sweet. She proves that she can sing mass-oriented numbers too! Karthik's voice is okay, but it could have been more active! (Though credits seem to mention the two parts of the female singer's name as two different names, I guess it's only one singer!) The lyric indicates that the song is picturized on the hero and the two heroines. The lead humming by chorus voices is very much like Mani Sarma's compositions in Takkari donga. The beat in the interlude is good.
palaka, balapam...
Shalini's voice seems a bit high-pitched but suits the mood of the song. Mano renders this song with ease. Another typical mass-oriented duet. The lyric uses Telugu varNamaala (alphabet) in its lines just like that. The tune and beat are typical of Mani Sarma. The tune is catchy.
gunDammO gunDammO...
Kalpana again sounds like in her previous songs. This song is again rendered by Balu and Kalpana for Mani Sarma and sounds hackneyed. Vennelakanti writes this song in the typical style of Bhuvanachandra, who penned all the other songs in the movie. The lyric is written interestingly, mentioning various localities of Hyderabad, but unfortunately not making much meaning for the rhyming. A few other rhyming words were exactly the ones used for similar combinations of singers and music director! The tune is typical of Mani Sarma, especially for the pallavi. The beat is active.

Dongaramudu And Party: Audio Roundup

Jun 5, 2003, 07:09
This week in Audio Roundup: Dongaramudu And Party
Donga Ramudu & Party is yet another attempt of making unconventional cinema. As the title suggests this is a typical Vamsi movie, the album derives inspiration from typical Vamsi movies albums, that is evident from the song Prema Panchami. The album contains Duets. Vamsis movie songs have not only enthralled the audience but have also contributed to the success of the respective movies and this album would leave the avid Vamsi fans craving for the movie release.
siri siri is a Duet, when a thief (Donga) fall in love, is quite impressive and was a well composed song.
prema panchami is another easy, breezy song and has typical Vamsi movie beats.
Another track, which is quite impressive, is the duet by Srinivas & Sujatha, chali rathiri.
The slow melodious edo edo lacks novelty most of the tune resemblance of some song or the other of Chakris previous compositions.
Kallona Nuvvu, another song from the album, beautifully sung by SPB and Sujatha though the tune and interludes are not fresh.
Another impressive song of the album was Vannelunna Nari
Lyrics of the album are quite impressive for a couple of songs given by Thanikella Shankar.
Its been sometime that SPB singing most of the songs. Here, he renders four songs with Sujatha and one with Sunitha. The album showcases SPBs versatility, being such a fantastic singer, with his unique voice, has given the album a new lease of life. On the whole, an album worth listen to.
Stay tuned for detailed Audio Review

Audio Rights: Mayuri Audio
Lyrics: Trivikram Srinivas

Rating: 3.25/5
Telugu Lyrics
Summary:
Lyrics score a bit more on the indicated rating for these songs. These songs make one listen to them repeatedly. Trivikram, who has already exhibited his flair in penning dialogues and directing a movie, now comes up with lyrics for the album, as a commendable single-card lyricist! If one has to set a comparison to scale his talent as a lyricist, the expressiveness in his words reminds the audience to a few numbers by sirivennela Seetarama Sastry, his metre-less lines might remind of aachaarya Aatreya, and his usage of words is like Veturi; his style (Saili) cannot however be estimated yet. Only at some places, the usage of words gives ambiguous meaning to certain lines. Chakris orchestration is good, and the interludes are rich. The tunes are also mostly catchy. If theres something that anyone would find fault with, its the choice of singers again, as in his earlier albums! Lack of consistency of male voices, and monotony of the female voice might cause boredom to the listeners! On the whole, the music might boost the movie or live with it!
Playback Lyric Tune/Interlude/BGM
swaraala veeNa! eevELalOna
Chakri sounds better than in few of his earlier songs.The humming by female voice (Kousalya?) is also good. Chakris humminghowever ends in his breath intake! He still requires some refinement in hispronunciation. Expressions like rEyi cheera kappukunna chandamaama, vaalE poddulaa jaarE(nee) jaDa are innovative. The tune constricts the lyric at places, but is goodoverall, and catchy. The starting (ettugaDa) and parts of the song however remind the jaanu tenugu paaTa song from adbhutam (sonda kuraLil paaDa from amarkkalaam).The interludes also gel with the tune very much.
vennelE nuvvani
Chakri sounds differently again! Kousalya sounds okay,but a lower pitch could have been more melodious, probably. Pronunciation byboth of them in parts of the first charaNam (second stanza) is too bad! A typical duet takes a beautiful form in this lyric. keraTamai pongitE teeramaitaakanaa is a good expression. The interlude is differently Oriental-like, strings soundgood, before the humming accompanied by the occasional DaanDiyaa-like sound. The tune is good too.
chakiTachakiTataam (kalalu kanTaamu)
The lead humming is jolly and marks the mood of the song!A bit of expression would help understand the lyric better! Overall, Kousalyarenders the song really well but just not impeccable. This song seems to establish the heroine. The lyric seemsto go with the optimistic characterization of the heroine who dreams aboutthis world as Utopia and wants to see the same in reality. The interlude is good. The tune is catchy. Humming addedgood effect to the tune.
mannu tinE chinnatanam
Udit sings this song in his usual style, ending wordswith half-sounds (halant) likeHindi! Breaking words like EmunDadaaat wrong places give a very different meaning, and he better be told aboutthat! Kousalya takes the job of compensating his voice in this song! Is itnow customary that songs with the word gOpemmamust be sung by Udit, after the hit of raamaa chilakammaa and raadhE gOvindaa?! The lyric is interesting! Its a song where the heroineasks the hero to wait until theyre married! The beat is good. The racy interlude suits the tune, buta haunting interlude (say, with wind instruments) would go hand in hand withthe theme of the song!
nidurinchE raatirilO
Mathins voiceis heavy. His pronunciation is too bad, especially for the lines like (harivillu) varNaalanE nE aDaganI. Kousalyas voiceis good, and again tries to add melody to this song spoilt by the malecounterpart! chinukayyE mEghamlaa digi raalEnaa? is a niceexpression. Almost every line has such a notable expression in this lyric! The drumbeat in the BGM and interlude are both good.Listening to this tune and BGM gives an effect similar to an old Hindi number!
naa praaNam naa praNayam
Chakri sounds very differently in this song again! Itd probably be better if he sticks to a consistent voiceat least while singing for the same movie, and concentrate more on hispronunciation! The pronunciation for this song suits the mood, but careshould be taken not to miss clarity. The metaphors and similes used in the lyric are worthnoting. However, clichd wordings like aaSa-Swaasa can also be observed. The pain in the theme of the song is suitably representedby the BGM and the thumping beat.

Rating: 2.0/5
Summary:
"God, save Telugu Cinema music!" - This is all I can tell about this album. The music doesn't seem anywhere near Rahman-grade, the lyrics are not anywhere near Veturi-grade (well, they are almost utterly meaningless and insensible), the vocals are not very good, the rerecording and mixing were mediocre. Music overlap does not give great effects as might be intended; instead, they actually belittle the value of an otherwise good BGM - that's what happened with some songs in this album. No song's situation can be guessed because the lyrics give no clue. If you felt this album deserves a better rating than that is given here, attribute the discrepancy to factors like the carelessness of the moviemakers to give some value to a substance in a song called lyric, the lack of attention from the side of the one of the country's best composers in composing and choosing the playback singers. For the records, this is the least rating I have ever given to any movie's audio!
Playback
Lyric
Tune/Interlude/BGM
Hey goodbye priyaa!... (Duration: 4:59 minutes) (Rating: 2.5/5)
Sunitha Sarathy's mispronunciation of the letter 'Sa' was unbearable because of frequent occurrence in the first stanza. Her voice was too husky and does not impress upon the audience. The male voices are effective for the theme of the song, but well, only Shankar Mahadevan can be heard most the time. Did this song really require three different singers? The lyric does not sound very meaningful. What difference does it really make if Veturi writes no different than the typical A.M. Rathnam-style lyric for a dubbing song?! The BGM dominated the husky female voice. The piano in the background toward the end of the song is good, but does not synchronize with anything else (typical "Rahmanic") and thus might not register with most audience. The tune is typically Rahman's.
jana gaNa mana... (Duration: 4:58 minutes) (Rating: 2/5)
Rahman's voice seems very different and unsuitable. Karthik's voice is not very pronounced. This happens to be the title song of the song. The reference to the header of the National Anthem doesn't make much sense. Blame the playback voices used and the mixing for not being able to conceive the lyric fully. The BGM gives a different feel. The beat is good too. The song ends in a sound like that of a breaking glass. Doesn't that remind Michael Jackson's Dangerous? Was that the intended effect?

dongODu - Audio Review
By Kavya
Aug 8, 2003, 02:31
Goodwill Cinema
dongODu meesam melEsaaDaa antE!
Lead Cast: Raviteja, Kalyani, Rekha
Director: Bheemineni Sreenivasa Rao
Producer: Rushita Sai (Bheemineni Sreenivasa Rao presents)
Music: Vidyasagar
Audio Rights: Aditya Music
Lyrics: Chandra Bose (1); Seetarama Sastry (2, 3); Bhashasree (4, 5).
Playback: Shankar Mahadevan & Rimmi Tommy (1); Valisha Babji & Chitra (2); Hariharan & Sujatha (3); Karthik & Swarnalatha (4); Udit Narayan & Sreevardhini (5).
Overall Rating: 2.25/5
Summary:
When a song had lyrics like paalalO perugundOy, naa paiTalO baruvundOy..., it'll tell you something about the entire album. The lyrics such as those above and bad music combined together becomes unbearable. Vidyasagar scored music for Telugu movies like vaddu baavaa! tappu and made no impression among the Telugu audience earlier, but still made his mark further down south in Tamil/Malayalam movies. He recently shared the credit of being a music director for naaga but this movie did not bring him numerous chances to prove his skill in Tollywood. The movie under discussion doesn't make his position any better, and probably might make it worse.
1. kODi mundaa, guDDu mundaa... 1.5/5
Coming to the technical field, the music is too loud and it overtakes the singers voices. Shankar Mahadevan and Rimmi Tommy did okay but not good. But I dont blame them. How can they possibly express their talent in a song that goes kODi mundaa, guDDu mundaa, cheppukOvE konTe paapaa kOka mundaa, raika mundaa, cheppukOvoy chanTi baabU...! The master behind these lyrics is none other than Chandra Bose. As you can see, the description of the song is not any where near the word "good".
2. Dum Dum Dum... 3.5/5
The loudness of the music, which is caused by the usage of drums in this particular song, made this song a bit attractive. The first few lines of the charaNam-s are soft with any light music. Babji and Chitra did really well. Seetarama Sastry penned lyrics really well working with the theme of peLLi, where bride and grooms friends exchange retorts at each other. Brides friend sings veelu choosi nee vaalujaDaki pani cheppu jaali paDaka, gaalamEsi nee moguDi kaaLLu kaTTeyi kadalaneeka and the grooms friend snaps back with his lines.
3. enta pani chEsindE prEma... 3.25/5
The song starts off by the little words like ayyo.. vadulu... pOraa by the female lead. Now you know the situation of the song! Hariharan and Sujatha did well. There is nothing unique to mention about the music except the flute piece in the interlude. Seetarama Sastry penned nice lyrics like nuvvU nEnU puTTaka mundE vraasundE ee bandham.... Its worth listening for the lyrics.
4. soTTa buggala rukkumiNi... 2.5/5
The lyrics by Bhashasree take off as soTTa buggala rukkumiNi, piTTa sogasulEsukuni, gaTTu daaTi oopukunTU pOtE Music is okay and it has a folk touch to it. Karthik did a good job with pronunciation and Sujatha accompanied him well. A kids voice pops up in the middle of the song, and it is definitely cute, especially when he giggles! But most of the song doesnt make sense as far as the lyrics go. Anyway, I would listen to this one once to hear the kids voice.
5. meesaala gOpaalaa... 2.25/5
Udits pronunciation is worse than ever. Udit is singing significant amount of songs in the recent times. One fails to understand what is making Udits pronunciation so horrible. Sri Vardhini did well, however. The music for this one also has a folk-touch to it. The lyrics by Bhashasree try to bring out the nostalgia of the childhood days as they go neeku chinnanaaTi chemmachekka gurtu undaa.... If there is any grace in the song, it is tortured by Udit!

The main attraction of this album is six Music Directors, but those are all not for composing the tunes they each sung a song. Keeravani, Chakri, Devi Sri Prasad, RP Patnaik, Vandemataram and Srilekha each shared a song. Vandemataram gave an average to below average tunes and Dasari Lyrics for four songs are also not much impressive. Taidala Bapu & Ashok Teja also gave average lyrics for their limit of one song. In Playback Singers RP Patnaik, Devi Sri Prasad & Swarnalatha were good in their songs. Adugu Adugani, Soundaryama were the best picks of the album followed by Thannulu Thinte.
Soundaryama (Keeravani, Usha): Vandemataram has given a good melodious tune for the love duet. Keeravani also sings well and balanced. Usha's tone suited well to the song but she hasnt done a good job in the second stanza, her humming at the starting of the song was breezy. Lyrics by Dasari were good, but have less profound. Background beats and interludes are good and suited well to the mood of the song.
Bus Ekkithe (Chakri): The concept of the song is not convincible asking a ticket for Love by comparing Love with other things like Bus, Train etc. But the song attracts with different Lyrics, tune and Tone of the singer. Lyrics in the second stanza were not convincible and good. But Taidala Bapu has given the needed lyrics for the song. Chakri was the right choice of the song and he did well. Background beats and Interludes are not much good.
Aaku Chaatu Pindelam (Radhika, Sudharani): An average song, probably that was picturised on Shakeela and some others. Pallavi tune is good and singer also sang well. But they werent good after the first stanza. Pronunciation of the words by the singers is bad, some lyrics even were not able to hear. Most of the beats and tune is copied from some other songs, the tune of the words Tayyam Tattuyyam is from the song Nooziveedu Sonia from Avunu Valliddaru Ishtapaddaru. Lyrics by Shuddala Ashok Teja were just average. The impression of this vulgar song depends on the picturisation of the song, probably.
Thannulu Thinte (Devi Sri Prasad, Swarnalatha): Devi Sri Prasad & Swarnalatha were the right choice of the song, they have done a nice job. Lyrics were the highlight of the song. Dasari had given different and funny lyrics for the love song in the style of Chandrabose. The lines of Pallavi tannulu tinte tinnanu gaani junnu lanti kanne pilla vennelaga notikandindi, tippalu padite paddanu kaani laddu lanti buddi gaadu jiddu laaga antukunandu were funny. Tune and interluders are not freshy.
Adugu Adugani (RP Patnaik, Nishma): Tune is melodious but not much impressive. RP Patnaik & Nishma both had done a good job and their voice is good when singing the words Adugumari, Telupumari, Cheppumari, Emitadi and they sings well. Lyrics by Dasari are average.
Oyi Entoy (Vandemataram Srinivas, Sri Lekha): Tune and Lyrics are just average. Srilekha tone suited well to the song and she did a good job. Vandemataram also did an average job. Lyrics by Dasari werent impressive. Background beats and Interludes also not much impressive.

Producer: Teja
Director: Teja
Music Director: Anoop
Audio Rights: Sohan Music
Lyrics: Kulasekhar
Playback: Anoop, Tippu & Master Manu (1); Shreya Ghosal (2); Anoop & Usha (3); Tippu (4); Baby Pretty & N. Sreenivas (5); Mallikharjun & Chitra (6); Sumangali (7); Lalitha & Chorus (8).
Rating: 3.5/5
Summary:
Teja promotes Patnaik's keyboarder Anoop to score music for this prestigious project. Anoop, who comes from behind the scenes - the orchestra, arranged his orchestra efficiently. The choice of singers is appreciable, but the need for the variety of voices he uses cannot be commented so early. Now, is he going to take Patnaik's stride in singing a few songs that he composes? Though he doesn't sound bad as a singer (not very great either!), a music director playing back his own compositions generally proves to be fatal, particularly in these days. Kulasekhar's lyrics need appreciation! The songs may take some time to impress the audience, like the earlier music hit in this banner jayam. (There's no equation or comparison here with the music of jayam!)
Playback
Lyric
Tune/Interlude/BGM
Dhama Dhama Dhama DOlu koTTu... (jai jai jai...) (Duration: 4:35 minutes) (Rating: 3.75/5)
After Patnaik two-timing as the music director and singer in Teja's movies, it seems to be Anoop's turn now! He does an okay job as a singer. Tippu now sings in Telugu better than most native singers! The child's voice is also very suitable and appreciably active. All the voices suit the mood of the song. This is a funny lyric written for flirting guys. Kulasekhar writes a very catchy and meaningful lyric. This can be quoted as one of his good lyrics. The theme, tune, lyric to some extent, and even the singing style reminds of R.P.'s "erra gulaabI tallO peTTukunnaadi..." (sambaram) though singers differ. The beat is suitable for the mood of the song.
enni aaSalO chinni gunDe lOna... (Duration: 4:37 minutes) (Rating: 3.75/5)
Shreya sings this melody with a commendable voice modulation and expression. However, her pronunciation of certain letters like the Sa in the word aaSa, dha in the word baadha, etc. should have been rectified. This seems to be a heroine introduction song, and is aesthetically penned. The song seems to be typically set to a situation where the heroine sings about her heart while thinking about her love. The lead music, along with the humming, sets the mood of this sensuous female solo. The orchestration sounds very familiar and so does the tune, but the song leaves a resonating impression on the audience.
O manasaa O manasaa... (Duration: 4:40 minutes) (Rating: 2.5/5)
Usha does a neat job like always. Anoop's voice might not suit melodies, and seems to be influenced by certain other singers. His rendition in this song is passable. This is a just-fallen-in-love kind of duet penned in a clichd manner. The use of English words like "support", "doubt" seem unnatural choices at those places. The lead music surprises the first time listener because the song header suggests a smooth melody whereas this song is actually a western-styled beat-based number! The orchestra has a bit of everything, making the song a mixture of folk, new-age, western, and classical styles.
One two three... (Duration: 4:56 minutes) (Rating: 3/5)
Tippu modulates his voice as necessitated by this western-styled "number". The lyric is innovative, and tells the importance of numbers in daily life, and also has satirical lines like "egirE flight ki O number, munigE bus ki O number". Anoop tries to bring a fusion of western tune and orchestration and Indian classical music in the interludes.
dESam manadE... (vandE maataram...) (Duration: 4:11 minutes) (Rating: 3/5)
Baby Pretty sings well, but suffers exactly the pronunciation defects as Shreya does in song #2, but this flaw has become too common these days even by adults, thanks to the influence of Hindi on our lives. Sreenivas adds his voice only to a part of the song. The song is patriotic in its theme but does not go aggressive. The song raises the voice of unity among Indians. vinaraa vinaraa... (Roja) has influenced many songs of this genre in the aspects of tune, orchestration in interludes and BGM, and chorus effects. This song is no exception. Nevertheless, this song is worth listening, particularly the audience who like such songs might not want to miss this.
nee kannullO... (nee kOsamE...) (Duration: 5:19 minutes) (Rating: 3.75/5)
Mallikharjun proves himself again with this soothing pathos number. Chitra needs no particular critique today, she is just great. Both signers instill audience's emotions. This song probably comes towards the climax of the movie, (or) when the lead pair is separated by unavoidable circumstances. The BGM sometimes dominates the vocals. The tune is impressive. The song comes with orchestration and interludes that are worth mentioning.
naa chEtilOna... (Duration: 2:56 minutes) (Rating: 3.5/5)
Sumangali's voice sounds unnecessarily young, if it is for the heroine (which seems obvious from the lyric)! The smooth gliding of notes (gamaka) at places sounds beautiful in this bit song. This is a song of the heroine singing for the hero, asking him lovingly to stay with her forever. The lalalaa... humming reminds of "machilIpatnam maaviDi chigurulO..." (merupu kalalu). Interludes sound good.
chuTTammO chuTTa aNaa... (Duration: 3:49 minutes) (Rating: 3.25/5)
Lalitha's voice is very different and suits the folk-like mood of the song. The male voice (Anoop?) doesn't seem to be credited in the audio. This song, interestingly, about cigars, or more familiarly, about chuTTa. The lyric also goes ahead to explain how a chuTTa is typically rolled. The lyric is good, but lacks catchiness. The beat, tune, and orchestration for this song go by the country-based folk-like theme. However, the words are not catchy and thus this song might not move up the charts much.

varsham - Audio Review
By NaChaKi
Dec 24, 2003, 17:59
Sumanth Art Productions
varsham
Producer: M. S. Raju
Director: Sobhan
Music Director: DeviSri Prasad
Audio Rights: Aditya Music (India) Limited
Lyrics: sirivennela Seetarama Sastry
Playback: Kalpana, Chitra & Raqeeb Alam (1), S. P. Charan & Sumangali (2), Tippu & Usha (3), Mallikharjun & Kalpana (4), Karthik & Shreya Ghosal (5), Sagar & Sumangali (6), Adnan Sami & Sunita Rao (7)
Rating: 4.25/5
Summary:
DeviSri Prasad comes up with songs that can be elevated by visuals, but also can stand by themselves. Most numbers are mass-oriented and he uses his orchestra deftly to create the moods for the songs. Particular mention of the lyrics is surely necessary for this album. Seetarama Sastry penned all the lyrics and adds another 'single-card' to his credit. What is worth mentioning is his rendition of mass-oriented songs in a freely flowing, catchy manner using simple words and some words that are getting extinct, so to say! However, his typical style does not miss in any lyric - his wordplay, expressions, similes, rhyme, etc. stay the same but only change their orientation! Choice of singers sometimes seemed unreasonable - that is the only major shortcoming I should say, if I have to pick one! Also, DeviSri should see that his orchestration does not get routine.
Playback
Lyric
Tune/Interlude/BGM
chinuku ravvalO... (nuvvostaananTE...) (Duration: 5:11 minutes)
Chitra renders this song effectively, like always. Raqeeb's voice suited the mood of the song. Kalpana's voice comes as a humming in the start of the song. The song is an invitation to rain, but is written differently, and seems thematically different from kaalE mEghaa... (Hindi movie lagaan) and the ghallughallumani... (indra) songs. The song, which has a folk touch associated with it, is nicely written in simple words. Interludes are impressive, especially the splashing sound of water adds a nice effect. The flute, blended with drum beat, in the BGM towards the ending is good. The lead music reminds of the funny lead music of kannepeTTarO... from Hello Brother. The "Ektaara" in the lead music is good. Probably also because of the theme/style of the song, the tune reminds the chilakammaa chiTikEyangaa... (daLapati) song at places, nevertheless being catchy.
mellagaa karaganee... (Duration:4:59 minutes)
Charan modulates his voice effectively. Sumangali's pronunciations of certain words is unclear or wrong. Her voice gets too high-pitched in subsequent stanzas. A sizzling duet that runs thematically bringing rain into picture. Orchestration is typical of DeviSri. The heavy beat dominates the lyrics very inconsiderately. A lower pitch in the tune would have made the song better.
langaa vONee... (Duration:3:29 minutes)
Tippu is really improving from song to song, movie to movie! He surely deserves more than a pat for his efforts to pronounce Telugu better! Usha is at her usual best. Though this kind of lyric from Seetarama Sastry might be surprising to many, this only reminds me numerous mass-oriented songs he wrote in the past. His mark doesn't miss anyway - carefully observe the charaNam-s, and you can see that his wordplay, his beautiful expressions, his unique words are all there! This mass-oriented number has a suitable beat, orchestration, and more important, a catchy tune. It can easily catch up with the audience, also consideration the totally mass-oriented lead lines!
joolee joolee... (Duration:4:45 minutes)
Mallikharjun sounds different and very apt. Kalpana does a good job too. Another mass-oriented song from Seetarama Sastry! The rhyming in the lines is worth notable. The lead music lacks freshness to some extent, but soon blends into the tune. The interlude is filled with fast beat. The BGM balances it with a slow pace. The tune surely catches up soon among the audience.
kOpamaa naa paina... (Duration: 4:39 minutes)
Shreya sounds sweet. Karthik sings suitably too. A song mainly sung by the female lead asking her love to cool down his hot temper. The classy touch of tune and the interludes impress the audience. The tune is catchy too. The lead music sets the mood of the song effectively.
neeTi mullai... (Duration:1:15 minutes)
Sagar's voice is well-modulated but lacks clarity. Sumangali adds her sweet melody towards the end of the song. This bit song has its own beauty embedded in four lines. It borrows the last line from song #1, but this time it's a duet. Though a bit song, this is melody-filled to make it a memorable bit.
nacchaavE naizaam pOree... (Duration: 3:56 minutes)
Adnan Sami sings okay in Telugu, but his pronunciation gets unclear at places. Sunita Rao's pronunciation is better but is not great either. Her voice was piercingly high-pitched. This lyric surely surprises most of those who have been following Seetarama Sastry's career! It's probably the first of its kind he writes with so many Hindi words in the lyric and excels in it with ease! His style does not miss in the rhyming or wordplay. The tune, orchestration, interludes, and BGM - all have a middle Eastern infleunce on them. The drums in the background add a foot-tapping beat to the song. The interludes make one sway with the music.

palanaaTi brahmanaayuDu - Audio Review
By NaChaKi
Jun 5, 2003, 10:46
Venkataramana Productions Private Limited
palanaaTi brahmanaayuDu
Producer: Medikonda Muralikrishna
Director: B. Gopal
Music Director: Mani Sarma
Audio Rights: Aditya Music
Lyrics: Bhuvanachandra (1-5); Vennelakanti (6).
Playback: Malli & Kalpana (1); Shankar Mahadevan & Chitra (2); Udit Narayan & Chitra (3); Karthik & Radhika Poornima (4); Mano & Shalini (5); S.P.B. & Kalpana (6).
Rating: 3.5/5
Summary:
The beat for all the songs is active, indicating that they might be accompanied by good choreography on the screen. Almost all numbers are mass-oriented, and so are the lyrics. Inconsistency of singers seems to have hit Mani Sarma too this time.
Playback
Lyric
Tune/Interlude/BGM
bRndaavanamlO...
Kalpana's voice is more on the melody side, especially when compared to her renditions for the same music director earlier in movies like Takkari donga and indra. Malli does a good job too. The song starts with a nice pallavi but turns mass-oriented again, with clichd usages in the subsequent stanzas. The interlude with the strings attracts the audience. Clapping adds appreciable effect to the beat.
bandarulO bus stand lO...
Chitra and Shankar Mahadevan fill life into this racy duet with their effective rendition. The mass-oriented song has a lyric to meet the need! The interludes are good. The beat suits the mood of the song.
OsOsi poolateegaa...
Udit is again bad, like he is most of the time. It's probably the audience's luck that Chitra is generally used by the side of his voice to compensate the effect. This song has a simple and neat lyric by Bhuvanachandra for a typical duet. The composition, based on raaga Sivaranjani, is good, and the strings add a greater beauty to the song. The humming in the interlude went high-pitched.
sarasaala sundarayyaa...
Radhika Poornima's voice is sweet. She proves that she can sing mass-oriented numbers too! Karthik's voice is okay, but it could have been more active! (Though credits seem to mention the two parts of the female singer's name as two different names, I guess it's only one singer!) The lyric indicates that the song is picturized on the hero and the two heroines. The lead humming by chorus voices is very much like Mani Sarma's compositions in Takkari donga. The beat in the interlude is good.
palaka, balapam...
Shalini's voice seems a bit high-pitched but suits the mood of the song. Mano renders this song with ease. Another typical mass-oriented duet. The lyric uses Telugu varNamaala (alphabet) in its lines just like that. The tune and beat are typical of Mani Sarma. The tune is catchy.
gunDammO gunDammO...
Kalpana again sounds like in her previous songs. This song is again rendered by Balu and Kalpana for Mani Sarma and sounds hackneyed. Vennelakanti writes this song in the typical style of Bhuvanachandra, who penned all the other songs in the movie. The lyric is written interestingly, mentioning various localities of Hyderabad, but unfortunately not making much meaning for the rhyming. A few other rhyming words were exactly the ones used for similar combinations of singers and music director! The tune is typical of Mani Sarma, especially for the pallavi. The beat is active.

Dongaramudu And Party: Audio Roundup
By
Jun 5, 2003, 07:09
This week in Audio Roundup: Dongaramudu And Party
Donga Ramudu & Party is yet another attempt of making unconventional cinema. As the title suggests this is a typical Vamsi movie, the album derives inspiration from typical Vamsi movies albums, that is evident from the song Prema Panchami. The album contains Duets. Vamsis movie songs have not only enthralled the audience but have also contributed to the success of the respective movies and this album would leave the avid Vamsi fans craving for the movie release.
siri siri is a Duet, when a thief (Donga) fall in love, is quite impressive and was a well composed song.
prema panchami is another easy, breezy song and has typical Vamsi movie beats.
Another track, which is quite impressive, is the duet by Srinivas & Sujatha, chali rathiri.
The slow melodious edo edo lacks novelty most of the tune resemblance of some song or the other of Chakris previous compositions.
Kallona Nuvvu, another song from the album, beautifully sung by SPB and Sujatha though the tune and interludes are not fresh.
Another impressive song of the album was Vannelunna Nari
Lyrics of the album are quite impressive for a couple of songs given by Thanikella Shankar.
Its been sometime that SPB singing most of the songs. Here, he renders four songs with Sujatha and one with Sunitha. The album showcases SPBs versatility, being such a fantastic singer, with his unique voice, has given the album a new lease of life. On the whole, an album worth listen to.
Stay tuned for detailed Audio Review

Ushakiron Movies
oka raaju - oka raaNi
Producer: Ramoji Rao
Director: Yogi
Music Director: Chakri
Audio Rights: Mayuri Audio
Lyrics: Trivikram Srinivas
Playback: Chakri (1, 6); Chakri & Kousalya (2); Kousalya (3); Udit Narayan & Kousalya (4); Mathin & Kousalya (5);
Rating: 3.25/5
Telugu Lyrics
Summary:
Lyrics score a bit more on the indicated rating for these songs. These songs make one listen to them repeatedly. Trivikram, who has already exhibited his flair in penning dialogues and directing a movie, now comes up with lyrics for the album, as a commendable single-card lyricist! If one has to set a comparison to scale his talent as a lyricist, the expressiveness in his words reminds the audience to a few numbers by sirivennela Seetarama Sastry, his metre-less lines might remind of aachaarya Aatreya, and his usage of words is like Veturi; his style (Saili) cannot however be estimated yet. Only at some places, the usage of words gives ambiguous meaning to certain lines. Chakris orchestration is good, and the interludes are rich. The tunes are also mostly catchy. If theres something that anyone would find fault with, its the choice of singers again, as in his earlier albums! Lack of consistency of male voices, and monotony of the female voice might cause boredom to the listeners! On the whole, the music might boost the movie or live with it!
Playback Lyric Tune/Interlude/BGM
swaraala veeNa! eevELalOna
Chakri sounds better than in few of his earlier songs.The humming by female voice (Kousalya?) is also good. Chakris humminghowever ends in his breath intake! He still requires some refinement in hispronunciation. Expressions like rEyi cheera kappukunna chandamaama, vaalE poddulaa jaarE(nee) jaDa are innovative. The tune constricts the lyric at places, but is goodoverall, and catchy. The starting (ettugaDa) and parts of the song however remind the jaanu tenugu paaTa song from adbhutam (sonda kuraLil paaDa from amarkkalaam).The interludes also gel with the tune very much.
vennelE nuvvani
Chakri sounds differently again! Kousalya sounds okay,but a lower pitch could have been more melodious, probably. Pronunciation byboth of them in parts of the first charaNam (second stanza) is too bad! A typical duet takes a beautiful form in this lyric. keraTamai pongitE teeramaitaakanaa is a good expression. The interlude is differently Oriental-like, strings soundgood, before the humming accompanied by the occasional DaanDiyaa-like sound. The tune is good too.
chakiTachakiTataam (kalalu kanTaamu)
The lead humming is jolly and marks the mood of the song!A bit of expression would help understand the lyric better! Overall, Kousalyarenders the song really well but just not impeccable. This song seems to establish the heroine. The lyric seemsto go with the optimistic characterization of the heroine who dreams aboutthis world as Utopia and wants to see the same in reality. The interlude is good. The tune is catchy. Humming addedgood effect to the tune.
mannu tinE chinnatanam
Udit sings this song in his usual style, ending wordswith half-sounds (halant) likeHindi! Breaking words like EmunDadaaat wrong places give a very different meaning, and he better be told aboutthat! Kousalya takes the job of compensating his voice in this song! Is itnow customary that songs with the word gOpemmamust be sung by Udit, after the hit of raamaa chilakammaa and raadhE gOvindaa?! The lyric is interesting! Its a song where the heroineasks the hero to wait until theyre married! The beat is good. The racy interlude suits the tune, buta haunting interlude (say, with wind instruments) would go hand in hand withthe theme of the song!
nidurinchE raatirilO
Mathins voiceis heavy. His pronunciation is too bad, especially for the lines like (harivillu) varNaalanE nE aDaganI. Kousalyas voiceis good, and again tries to add melody to this song spoilt by the malecounterpart! chinukayyE mEghamlaa digi raalEnaa? is a niceexpression. Almost every line has such a notable expression in this lyric! The drumbeat in the BGM and interlude are both good.Listening to this tune and BGM gives an effect similar to an old Hindi number!
naa praaNam naa praNayam
Chakri sounds very differently in this song again! Itd probably be better if he sticks to a consistent voiceat least while singing for the same movie, and concentrate more on hispronunciation! The pronunciation for this song suits the mood, but careshould be taken not to miss clarity. The metaphors and similes used in the lyric are worthnoting. However, clichd wordings like aaSa-Swaasa can also be observed. The pain in the theme of the song is suitably representedby the BGM and the thumping beat.

Lyrics: Veturi (1-3, 5-6); Blazee (4).
Playback: Sunitha Sarathy, Shankar Mahadevan, Lucky Ali & Karthik (1); A. R. Rahman & Karthik (2); A. R. Rahman & Madhusree (3); Blazee & Shaheen (4); Adnan Sami & Sujatha (5); A. R. Rahman, Sunitha Sarathy & Tanvi (6).
Rating: 2.0/5
Summary:
"God, save Telugu Cinema music!" - This is all I can tell about this album. The music doesn't seem anywhere near Rahman-grade, the lyrics are not anywhere near Veturi-grade (well, they are almost utterly meaningless and insensible), the vocals are not very good, the rerecording and mixing were mediocre. Music overlap does not give great effects as might be intended; instead, they actually belittle the value of an otherwise good BGM - that's what happened with some songs in this album. No song's situation can be guessed because the lyrics give no clue. If you felt this album deserves a better rating than that is given here, attribute the discrepancy to factors like the carelessness of the moviemakers to give some value to a substance in a song called lyric, the lack of attention from the side of the one of the country's best composers in composing and choosing the playback singers. For the records, this is the least rating I have ever given to any movie's audio!
Playback
Lyric
Tune/Interlude/BGM
Hey goodbye priyaa!... (Duration: 4:59 minutes) (Rating: 2.5/5)
Sunitha Sarathy's mispronunciation of the letter 'Sa' was unbearable because of frequent occurrence in the first stanza. Her voice was too husky and does not impress upon the audience. The male voices are effective for the theme of the song, but well, only Shankar Mahadevan can be heard most the time. Did this song really require three different singers? The lyric does not sound very meaningful. What difference does it really make if Veturi writes no different than the typical A.M. Rathnam-style lyric for a dubbing song?! The BGM dominated the husky female voice. The piano in the background toward the end of the song is good, but does not synchronize with anything else (typical "Rahmanic") and thus might not register with most audience. The tune is typically Rahman's.
jana gaNa mana... (Duration: 4:58 minutes) (Rating: 2/5)
Rahman's voice seems very different and unsuitable. Karthik's voice is not very pronounced. This happens to be the title song of the song. The reference to the header of the National Anthem doesn't make much sense. Blame the playback voices used and the mixing for not being able to conceive the lyric fully. The BGM gives a different feel. The beat is good too. The song ends in a sound like that of a breaking glass. Doesn't that remind Michael Jackson's Dangerous? Was that the intended effect?

dongODu - Audio Review
By Kavya
Aug 8, 2003, 02:31
Goodwill Cinema
dongODu meesam melEsaaDaa antE!
Lead Cast: Raviteja, Kalyani, Rekha
Director: Bheemineni Sreenivasa Rao
Producer: Rushita Sai (Bheemineni Sreenivasa Rao presents)
Music: Vidyasagar
Audio Rights: Aditya Music
Lyrics: Chandra Bose (1); Seetarama Sastry (2, 3); Bhashasree (4, 5).
Playback: Shankar Mahadevan & Rimmi Tommy (1); Valisha Babji & Chitra (2); Hariharan & Sujatha (3); Karthik & Swarnalatha (4); Udit Narayan & Sreevardhini (5).
Overall Rating: 2.25/5
Summary:
When a song had lyrics like paalalO perugundOy, naa paiTalO baruvundOy..., it'll tell you something about the entire album. The lyrics such as those above and bad music combined together becomes unbearable. Vidyasagar scored music for Telugu movies like vaddu baavaa! tappu and made no impression among the Telugu audience earlier, but still made his mark further down south in Tamil/Malayalam movies. He recently shared the credit of being a music director for naaga but this movie did not bring him numerous chances to prove his skill in Tollywood. The movie under discussion doesn't make his position any better, and probably might make it worse.
1. kODi mundaa, guDDu mundaa... 1.5/5
Coming to the technical field, the music is too loud and it overtakes the singers voices. Shankar Mahadevan and Rimmi Tommy did okay but not good. But I dont blame them. How can they possibly express their talent in a song that goes kODi mundaa, guDDu mundaa, cheppukOvE konTe paapaa kOka mundaa, raika mundaa, cheppukOvoy chanTi baabU...! The master behind these lyrics is none other than Chandra Bose. As you can see, the description of the song is not any where near the word "good".
2. Dum Dum Dum... 3.5/5
The loudness of the music, which is caused by the usage of drums in this particular song, made this song a bit attractive. The first few lines of the charaNam-s are soft with any light music. Babji and Chitra did really well. Seetarama Sastry penned lyrics really well working with the theme of peLLi, where bride and grooms friends exchange retorts at each other. Brides friend sings veelu choosi nee vaalujaDaki pani cheppu jaali paDaka, gaalamEsi nee moguDi kaaLLu kaTTeyi kadalaneeka and the grooms friend snaps back with his lines.
3. enta pani chEsindE prEma... 3.25/5
The song starts off by the little words like ayyo.. vadulu... pOraa by the female lead. Now you know the situation of the song! Hariharan and Sujatha did well. There is nothing unique to mention about the music except the flute piece in the interlude. Seetarama Sastry penned nice lyrics like nuvvU nEnU puTTaka mundE vraasundE ee bandham.... Its worth listening for the lyrics.
4. soTTa buggala rukkumiNi... 2.5/5
The lyrics by Bhashasree take off as soTTa buggala rukkumiNi, piTTa sogasulEsukuni, gaTTu daaTi oopukunTU pOtE Music is okay and it has a folk touch to it. Karthik did a good job with pronunciation and Sujatha accompanied him well. A kids voice pops up in the middle of the song, and it is definitely cute, especially when he giggles! But most of the song doesnt make sense as far as the lyrics go. Anyway, I would listen to this one once to hear the kids voice.
5. meesaala gOpaalaa... 2.25/5
Udits pronunciation is worse than ever. Udit is singing significant amount of songs in the recent times. One fails to understand what is making Udits pronunciation so horrible. Sri Vardhini did well, however. The music for this one also has a folk-touch to it. The lyrics by Bhashasree try to bring out the nostalgia of the childhood days as they go neeku chinnanaaTi chemmachekka gurtu undaa.... If there is any grace in the song, it is tortured by Udit!

The main attraction of this album is six Music Directors, but those are all not for composing the tunes they each sung a song. Keeravani, Chakri, Devi Sri Prasad, RP Patnaik, Vandemataram and Srilekha each shared a song. Vandemataram gave an average to below average tunes and Dasari Lyrics for four songs are also not much impressive. Taidala Bapu & Ashok Teja also gave average lyrics for their limit of one song. In Playback Singers RP Patnaik, Devi Sri Prasad & Swarnalatha were good in their songs. Adugu Adugani, Soundaryama were the best picks of the album followed by Thannulu Thinte.
Soundaryama (Keeravani, Usha): Vandemataram has given a good melodious tune for the love duet. Keeravani also sings well and balanced. Usha's tone suited well to the song but she hasnt done a good job in the second stanza, her humming at the starting of the song was breezy. Lyrics by Dasari were good, but have less profound. Background beats and interludes are good and suited well to the mood of the song.
Bus Ekkithe (Chakri): The concept of the song is not convincible asking a ticket for Love by comparing Love with other things like Bus, Train etc. But the song attracts with different Lyrics, tune and Tone of the singer. Lyrics in the second stanza were not convincible and good. But Taidala Bapu has given the needed lyrics for the song. Chakri was the right choice of the song and he did well. Background beats and Interludes are not much good.
Aaku Chaatu Pindelam (Radhika, Sudharani): An average song, probably that was picturised on Shakeela and some others. Pallavi tune is good and singer also sang well. But they werent good after the first stanza. Pronunciation of the words by the singers is bad, some lyrics even were not able to hear. Most of the beats and tune is copied from some other songs, the tune of the words Tayyam Tattuyyam is from the song Nooziveedu Sonia from Avunu Valliddaru Ishtapaddaru. Lyrics by Shuddala Ashok Teja were just average. The impression of this vulgar song depends on the picturisation of the song, probably.
Thannulu Thinte (Devi Sri Prasad, Swarnalatha): Devi Sri Prasad & Swarnalatha were the right choice of the song, they have done a nice job. Lyrics were the highlight of the song. Dasari had given different and funny lyrics for the love song in the style of Chandrabose. The lines of Pallavi tannulu tinte tinnanu gaani junnu lanti kanne pilla vennelaga notikandindi, tippalu padite paddanu kaani laddu lanti buddi gaadu jiddu laaga antukunandu were funny. Tune and interluders are not freshy.
Adugu Adugani (RP Patnaik, Nishma): Tune is melodious but not much impressive. RP Patnaik & Nishma both had done a good job and their voice is good when singing the words Adugumari, Telupumari, Cheppumari, Emitadi and they sings well. Lyrics by Dasari are average.
Oyi Entoy (Vandemataram Srinivas, Sri Lekha): Tune and Lyrics are just average. Srilekha tone suited well to the song and she did a good job. Vandemataram also did an average job. Lyrics by Dasari werent impressive. Background beats and Interludes also not much impressive.

Jai - Audio Review

Jan 23, 2004, 02:37
Chitram Movies
Jai
Producer: Teja
Director: Teja
Music Director: Anoop
Audio Rights: Sohan Music
Lyrics: Kulasekhar
Playback: Anoop, Tippu & Master Manu (1); Shreya Ghosal (2); Anoop & Usha (3); Tippu (4); Baby Pretty & N. Sreenivas (5); Mallikharjun & Chitra (6); Sumangali (7); Lalitha & Chorus (8).
Rating: 3.5/5
Summary:
Teja promotes Patnaik's keyboarder Anoop to score music for this prestigious project. Anoop, who comes from behind the scenes - the orchestra, arranged his orchestra efficiently. The choice of singers is appreciable, but the need for the variety of voices he uses cannot be commented so early. Now, is he going to take Patnaik's stride in singing a few songs that he composes? Though he doesn't sound bad as a singer (not very great either!), a music director playing back his own compositions generally proves to be fatal, particularly in these days. Kulasekhar's lyrics need appreciation! The songs may take some time to impress the audience, like the earlier music hit in this banner jayam. (There's no equation or comparison here with the music of jayam!)
Playback
Lyric
Tune/Interlude/BGM
Dhama Dhama Dhama DOlu koTTu... (jai jai jai...) (Duration: 4:35 minutes) (Rating: 3.75/5)
After Patnaik two-timing as the music director and singer in Teja's movies, it seems to be Anoop's turn now! He does an okay job as a singer. Tippu now sings in Telugu better than most native singers! The child's voice is also very suitable and appreciably active. All the voices suit the mood of the song. This is a funny lyric written for flirting guys. Kulasekhar writes a very catchy and meaningful lyric. This can be quoted as one of his good lyrics. The theme, tune, lyric to some extent, and even the singing style reminds of R.P.'s "erra gulaabI tallO peTTukunnaadi..." (sambaram) though singers differ. The beat is suitable for the mood of the song.
enni aaSalO chinni gunDe lOna... (Duration: 4:37 minutes) (Rating: 3.75/5)
Shreya sings this melody with a commendable voice modulation and expression. However, her pronunciation of certain letters like the Sa in the word aaSa, dha in the word baadha, etc. should have been rectified. This seems to be a heroine introduction song, and is aesthetically penned. The song seems to be typically set to a situation where the heroine sings about her heart while thinking about her love. The lead music, along with the humming, sets the mood of this sensuous female solo. The orchestration sounds very familiar and so does the tune, but the song leaves a resonating impression on the audience.
O manasaa O manasaa... (Duration: 4:40 minutes) (Rating: 2.5/5)
Usha does a neat job like always. Anoop's voice might not suit melodies, and seems to be influenced by certain other singers. His rendition in this song is passable. This is a just-fallen-in-love kind of duet penned in a clichd manner. The use of English words like "support", "doubt" seem unnatural choices at those places. The lead music surprises the first time listener because the song header suggests a smooth melody whereas this song is actually a western-styled beat-based number! The orchestra has a bit of everything, making the song a mixture of folk, new-age, western, and classical styles.
One two three... (Duration: 4:56 minutes) (Rating: 3/5)
Tippu modulates his voice as necessitated by this western-styled "number". The lyric is innovative, and tells the importance of numbers in daily life, and also has satirical lines like "egirE flight ki O number, munigE bus ki O number". Anoop tries to bring a fusion of western tune and orchestration and Indian classical music in the interludes.
dESam manadE... (vandE maataram...) (Duration: 4:11 minutes) (Rating: 3/5)
Baby Pretty sings well, but suffers exactly the pronunciation defects as Shreya does in song #2, but this flaw has become too common these days even by adults, thanks to the influence of Hindi on our lives. Sreenivas adds his voice only to a part of the song. The song is patriotic in its theme but does not go aggressive. The song raises the voice of unity among Indians. vinaraa vinaraa... (Roja) has influenced many songs of this genre in the aspects of tune, orchestration in interludes and BGM, and chorus effects. This song is no exception. Nevertheless, this song is worth listening, particularly the audience who like such songs might not want to miss this.
nee kannullO... (nee kOsamE...) (Duration: 5:19 minutes) (Rating: 3.75/5)
Mallikharjun proves himself again with this soothing pathos number. Chitra needs no particular critique today, she is just great. Both signers instill audience's emotions. This song probably comes towards the climax of the movie, (or) when the lead pair is separated by unavoidable circumstances. The BGM sometimes dominates the vocals. The tune is impressive. The song comes with orchestration and interludes that are worth mentioning.
naa chEtilOna... (Duration: 2:56 minutes) (Rating: 3.5/5)
Sumangali's voice sounds unnecessarily young, if it is for the heroine (which seems obvious from the lyric)! The smooth gliding of notes (gamaka) at places sounds beautiful in this bit song. This is a song of the heroine singing for the hero, asking him lovingly to stay with her forever. The lalalaa... humming reminds of "machilIpatnam maaviDi chigurulO..." (merupu kalalu). Interludes sound good.
chuTTammO chuTTa aNaa... (Duration: 3:49 minutes) (Rating: 3.25/5)
Lalitha's voice is very different and suits the folk-like mood of the song. The male voice (Anoop?) doesn't seem to be credited in the audio. This song, interestingly, about cigars, or more familiarly, about chuTTa. The lyric also goes ahead to explain how a chuTTa is typically rolled. The lyric is good, but lacks catchiness. The beat, tune, and orchestration for this song go by the country-based folk-like theme. However, the words are not catchy and thus this song might not move up the charts much.

Dec 24, 2003, 17:59
Sumanth Art Productions
varsham
Producer: M. S. Raju
Director: Sobhan
Music Director: DeviSri Prasad
Audio Rights: Aditya Music (India) Limited
Lyrics: sirivennela Seetarama Sastry
Playback: Kalpana, Chitra & Raqeeb Alam (1), S. P. Charan & Sumangali (2), Tippu & Usha (3), Mallikharjun & Kalpana (4), Karthik & Shreya Ghosal (5), Sagar & Sumangali (6), Adnan Sami & Sunita Rao (7)
Rating: 4.25/5
Summary:
DeviSri Prasad comes up with songs that can be elevated by visuals, but also can stand by themselves. Most numbers are mass-oriented and he uses his orchestra deftly to create the moods for the songs. Particular mention of the lyrics is surely necessary for this album. Seetarama Sastry penned all the lyrics and adds another 'single-card' to his credit. What is worth mentioning is his rendition of mass-oriented songs in a freely flowing, catchy manner using simple words and some words that are getting extinct, so to say! However, his typical style does not miss in any lyric - his wordplay, expressions, similes, rhyme, etc. stay the same but only change their orientation! Choice of singers sometimes seemed unreasonable - that is the only major shortcoming I should say, if I have to pick one! Also, DeviSri should see that his orchestration does not get routine.
Playback
Lyric
Tune/Interlude/BGM
chinuku ravvalO... (nuvvostaananTE...) (Duration: 5:11 minutes)
Chitra renders this song effectively, like always. Raqeeb's voice suited the mood of the song. Kalpana's voice comes as a humming in the start of the song. The song is an invitation to rain, but is written differently, and seems thematically different from kaalE mEghaa... (Hindi movie lagaan) and the ghallughallumani... (indra) songs. The song, which has a folk touch associated with it, is nicely written in simple words. Interludes are impressive, especially the splashing sound of water adds a nice effect. The flute, blended with drum beat, in the BGM towards the ending is good. The lead music reminds of the funny lead music of kannepeTTarO... from Hello Brother. The "Ektaara" in the lead music is good. Probably also because of the theme/style of the song, the tune reminds the chilakammaa chiTikEyangaa... (daLapati) song at places, nevertheless being catchy.
mellagaa karaganee... (Duration:4:59 minutes)
Charan modulates his voice effectively. Sumangali's pronunciations of certain words is unclear or wrong. Her voice gets too high-pitched in subsequent stanzas. A sizzling duet that runs thematically bringing rain into picture. Orchestration is typical of DeviSri. The heavy beat dominates the lyrics very inconsiderately. A lower pitch in the tune would have made the song better.
langaa vONee... (Duration:3:29 minutes)
Tippu is really improving from song to song, movie to movie! He surely deserves more than a pat for his efforts to pronounce Telugu better! Usha is at her usual best. Though this kind of lyric from Seetarama Sastry might be surprising to many, this only reminds me numerous mass-oriented songs he wrote in the past. His mark doesn't miss anyway - carefully observe the charaNam-s, and you can see that his wordplay, his beautiful expressions, his unique words are all there! This mass-oriented number has a suitable beat, orchestration, and more important, a catchy tune. It can easily catch up with the audience, also consideration the totally mass-oriented lead lines!
joolee joolee... (Duration:4:45 minutes)
Mallikharjun sounds different and very apt. Kalpana does a good job too. Another mass-oriented song from Seetarama Sastry! The rhyming in the lines is worth notable. The lead music lacks freshness to some extent, but soon blends into the tune. The interlude is filled with fast beat. The BGM balances it with a slow pace. The tune surely catches up soon among the audience.
kOpamaa naa paina... (Duration: 4:39 minutes)
Shreya sounds sweet. Karthik sings suitably too. A song mainly sung by the female lead asking her love to cool down his hot temper. The classy touch of tune and the interludes impress the audience. The tune is catchy too. The lead music sets the mood of the song effectively.
neeTi mullai... (Duration:1:15 minutes)
Sagar's voice is well-modulated but lacks clarity. Sumangali adds her sweet melody towards the end of the song. This bit song has its own beauty embedded in four lines. It borrows the last line from song #1, but this time it's a duet. Though a bit song, this is melody-filled to make it a memorable bit.
nacchaavE naizaam pOree... (Duration: 3:56 minutes)
Adnan Sami sings okay in Telugu, but his pronunciation gets unclear at places. Sunita Rao's pronunciation is better but is not great either. Her voice was piercingly high-pitched. This lyric surely surprises most of those who have been following Seetarama Sastry's career! It's probably the first of its kind he writes with so many Hindi words in the lyric and excels in it with ease! His style does not miss in the rhyming or wordplay. The tune, orchestration, interludes, and BGM - all have a middle Eastern infleunce on them. The drums in the background add a foot-tapping beat to the song. The interludes make one sway with the music.

palanaaTi brahmanaayuDu - Audio Review
By NaChaKi
Jun 5, 2003, 10:46
Venkataramana Productions Private Limited
palanaaTi brahmanaayuDu
Producer: Medikonda Muralikrishna
Director: B. Gopal
Music Director: Mani Sarma
Audio Rights: Aditya Music
Lyrics: Bhuvanachandra (1-5); Vennelakanti (6).
Playback: Malli & Kalpana (1); Shankar Mahadevan & Chitra (2); Udit Narayan & Chitra (3); Karthik & Radhika Poornima (4); Mano & Shalini (5); S.P.B. & Kalpana (6).
Rating: 3.5/5
Summary:
The beat for all the songs is active, indicating that they might be accompanied by good choreography on the screen. Almost all numbers are mass-oriented, and so are the lyrics. Inconsistency of singers seems to have hit Mani Sarma too this time.
Playback
Lyric
Tune/Interlude/BGM
bRndaavanamlO...
Kalpana's voice is more on the melody side, especially when compared to her renditions for the same music director earlier in movies like Takkari donga and indra. Malli does a good job too. The song starts with a nice pallavi but turns mass-oriented again, with clichd usages in the subsequent stanzas. The interlude with the strings attracts the audience. Clapping adds appreciable effect to the beat.
bandarulO bus stand lO...
Chitra and Shankar Mahadevan fill life into this racy duet with their effective rendition. The mass-oriented song has a lyric to meet the need! The interludes are good. The beat suits the mood of the song.
OsOsi poolateegaa...
Udit is again bad, like he is most of the time. It's probably the audience's luck that Chitra is generally used by the side of his voice to compensate the effect. This song has a simple and neat lyric by Bhuvanachandra for a typical duet. The composition, based on raaga Sivaranjani, is good, and the strings add a greater beauty to the song. The humming in the interlude went high-pitched.
sarasaala sundarayyaa...
Radhika Poornima's voice is sweet. She proves that she can sing mass-oriented numbers too! Karthik's voice is okay, but it could have been more active! (Though credits seem to mention the two parts of the female singer's name as two different names, I guess it's only one singer!) The lyric indicates that the song is picturized on the hero and the two heroines. The lead humming by chorus voices is very much like Mani Sarma's compositions in Takkari donga. The beat in the interlude is good.
palaka, balapam...
Shalini's voice seems a bit high-pitched but suits the mood of the song. Mano renders this song with ease. Another typical mass-oriented duet. The lyric uses Telugu varNamaala (alphabet) in its lines just like that. The tune and beat are typical of Mani Sarma. The tune is catchy.
gunDammO gunDammO...
Kalpana again sounds like in her previous songs. This song is again rendered by Balu and Kalpana for Mani Sarma and sounds hackneyed. Vennelakanti writes this song in the typical style of Bhuvanachandra, who penned all the other songs in the movie. The lyric is written interestingly, mentioning various localities of Hyderabad, but unfortunately not making much meaning for the rhyming. A few other rhyming words were exactly the ones used for similar combinations of singers and music director! The tune is typical of Mani Sarma, especially for the pallavi. The beat is active.

Dongaramudu And Party: Audio Roundup

Jun 5, 2003, 07:09
This week in Audio Roundup: Dongaramudu And Party
Donga Ramudu & Party is yet another attempt of making unconventional cinema. As the title suggests this is a typical Vamsi movie, the album derives inspiration from typical Vamsi movies albums, that is evident from the song Prema Panchami. The album contains Duets. Vamsis movie songs have not only enthralled the audience but have also contributed to the success of the respective movies and this album would leave the avid Vamsi fans craving for the movie release.
siri siri is a Duet, when a thief (Donga) fall in love, is quite impressive and was a well composed song.
prema panchami is another easy, breezy song and has typical Vamsi movie beats.
Another track, which is quite impressive, is the duet by Srinivas & Sujatha, chali rathiri.
The slow melodious edo edo lacks novelty most of the tune resemblance of some song or the other of Chakris previous compositions.
Kallona Nuvvu, another song from the album, beautifully sung by SPB and Sujatha though the tune and interludes are not fresh.
Another impressive song of the album was Vannelunna Nari
Lyrics of the album are quite impressive for a couple of songs given by Thanikella Shankar.
Its been sometime that SPB singing most of the songs. Here, he renders four songs with Sujatha and one with Sunitha. The album showcases SPBs versatility, being such a fantastic singer, with his unique voice, has given the album a new lease of life. On the whole, an album worth listen to.
Stay tuned for detailed Audio Review

Producer: Ramoji Rao
Director: Yogi
Music Director: Chakri
Audio Rights: Mayuri Audio
Lyrics: Trivikram Srinivas
Playback: Chakri (1, 6); Chakri & Kousalya (2); Kousalya (3); Udit Narayan & Kousalya (4); Mathin & Kousalya (5);
Rating: 3.25/5
Telugu Lyrics
Summary:
Lyrics score a bit more on the indicated rating for these songs. These songs make one listen to them repeatedly. Trivikram, who has already exhibited his flair in penning dialogues and directing a movie, now comes up with lyrics for the album, as a commendable single-card lyricist! If one has to set a comparison to scale his talent as a lyricist, the expressiveness in his words reminds the audience to a few numbers by sirivennela Seetarama Sastry, his metre-less lines might remind of aachaarya Aatreya, and his usage of words is like Veturi; his style (Saili) cannot however be estimated yet. Only at some places, the usage of words gives ambiguous meaning to certain lines. Chakris orchestration is good, and the interludes are rich. The tunes are also mostly catchy. If theres something that anyone would find fault with, its the choice of singers again, as in his earlier albums! Lack of consistency of male voices, and monotony of the female voice might cause boredom to the listeners! On the whole, the music might boost the movie or live with it!
Playback Lyric Tune/Interlude/BGM
swaraala veeNa! eevELalOna
Chakri sounds better than in few of his earlier songs.The humming by female voice (Kousalya?) is also good. Chakris humminghowever ends in his breath intake! He still requires some refinement in hispronunciation. Expressions like rEyi cheera kappukunna chandamaama, vaalE poddulaa jaarE(nee) jaDa are innovative. The tune constricts the lyric at places, but is goodoverall, and catchy. The starting (ettugaDa) and parts of the song however remind the jaanu tenugu paaTa song from adbhutam (sonda kuraLil paaDa from amarkkalaam).The interludes also gel with the tune very much.
vennelE nuvvani
Chakri sounds differently again! Kousalya sounds okay,but a lower pitch could have been more melodious, probably. Pronunciation byboth of them in parts of the first charaNam (second stanza) is too bad! A typical duet takes a beautiful form in this lyric. keraTamai pongitE teeramaitaakanaa is a good expression. The interlude is differently Oriental-like, strings soundgood, before the humming accompanied by the occasional DaanDiyaa-like sound. The tune is good too.
chakiTachakiTataam (kalalu kanTaamu)
The lead humming is jolly and marks the mood of the song!A bit of expression would help understand the lyric better! Overall, Kousalyarenders the song really well but just not impeccable. This song seems to establish the heroine. The lyric seemsto go with the optimistic characterization of the heroine who dreams aboutthis world as Utopia and wants to see the same in reality. The interlude is good. The tune is catchy. Humming addedgood effect to the tune.
mannu tinE chinnatanam
Udit sings this song in his usual style, ending wordswith half-sounds (halant) likeHindi! Breaking words like EmunDadaaat wrong places give a very different meaning, and he better be told aboutthat! Kousalya takes the job of compensating his voice in this song! Is itnow customary that songs with the word gOpemmamust be sung by Udit, after the hit of raamaa chilakammaa and raadhE gOvindaa?! The lyric is interesting! Its a song where the heroineasks the hero to wait until theyre married! The beat is good. The racy interlude suits the tune, buta haunting interlude (say, with wind instruments) would go hand in hand withthe theme of the song!
nidurinchE raatirilO
Mathins voiceis heavy. His pronunciation is too bad, especially for the lines like (harivillu) varNaalanE nE aDaganI. Kousalyas voiceis good, and again tries to add melody to this song spoilt by the malecounterpart! chinukayyE mEghamlaa digi raalEnaa? is a niceexpression. Almost every line has such a notable expression in this lyric! The drumbeat in the BGM and interlude are both good.Listening to this tune and BGM gives an effect similar to an old Hindi number!
naa praaNam naa praNayam
Chakri sounds very differently in this song again! Itd probably be better if he sticks to a consistent voiceat least while singing for the same movie, and concentrate more on hispronunciation! The pronunciation for this song suits the mood, but careshould be taken not to miss clarity. The metaphors and similes used in the lyric are worthnoting. However, clichd wordings like aaSa-Swaasa can also be observed. The pain in the theme of the song is suitably representedby the BGM and the thumping beat.

Rating: 2.0/5
Summary:
"God, save Telugu Cinema music!" - This is all I can tell about this album. The music doesn't seem anywhere near Rahman-grade, the lyrics are not anywhere near Veturi-grade (well, they are almost utterly meaningless and insensible), the vocals are not very good, the rerecording and mixing were mediocre. Music overlap does not give great effects as might be intended; instead, they actually belittle the value of an otherwise good BGM - that's what happened with some songs in this album. No song's situation can be guessed because the lyrics give no clue. If you felt this album deserves a better rating than that is given here, attribute the discrepancy to factors like the carelessness of the moviemakers to give some value to a substance in a song called lyric, the lack of attention from the side of the one of the country's best composers in composing and choosing the playback singers. For the records, this is the least rating I have ever given to any movie's audio!
Playback
Lyric
Tune/Interlude/BGM
Hey goodbye priyaa!... (Duration: 4:59 minutes) (Rating: 2.5/5)
Sunitha Sarathy's mispronunciation of the letter 'Sa' was unbearable because of frequent occurrence in the first stanza. Her voice was too husky and does not impress upon the audience. The male voices are effective for the theme of the song, but well, only Shankar Mahadevan can be heard most the time. Did this song really require three different singers? The lyric does not sound very meaningful. What difference does it really make if Veturi writes no different than the typical A.M. Rathnam-style lyric for a dubbing song?! The BGM dominated the husky female voice. The piano in the background toward the end of the song is good, but does not synchronize with anything else (typical "Rahmanic") and thus might not register with most audience. The tune is typically Rahman's.
jana gaNa mana... (Duration: 4:58 minutes) (Rating: 2/5)
Rahman's voice seems very different and unsuitable. Karthik's voice is not very pronounced. This happens to be the title song of the song. The reference to the header of the National Anthem doesn't make much sense. Blame the playback voices used and the mixing for not being able to conceive the lyric fully. The BGM gives a different feel. The beat is good too. The song ends in a sound like that of a breaking glass. Doesn't that remind Michael Jackson's Dangerous? Was that the intended effect?

Director: Bheemineni Sreenivasa Rao
Producer: Rushita Sai (Bheemineni Sreenivasa Rao presents)
Music: Vidyasagar
Audio Rights: Aditya Music
Lyrics: Chandra Bose (1); Seetarama Sastry (2, 3); Bhashasree (4, 5).
Playback: Shankar Mahadevan & Rimmi Tommy (1); Valisha Babji & Chitra (2); Hariharan & Sujatha (3); Karthik & Swarnalatha (4); Udit Narayan & Sreevardhini (5).
Overall Rating: 2.25/5
Summary:
When a song had lyrics like paalalO perugundOy, naa paiTalO baruvundOy..., it'll tell you something about the entire album. The lyrics such as those above and bad music combined together becomes unbearable. Vidyasagar scored music for Telugu movies like vaddu baavaa! tappu and made no impression among the Telugu audience earlier, but still made his mark further down south in Tamil/Malayalam movies. He recently shared the credit of being a music director for naaga but this movie did not bring him numerous chances to prove his skill in Tollywood. The movie under discussion doesn't make his position any better, and probably might make it worse.
1. kODi mundaa, guDDu mundaa... 1.5/5
Coming to the technical field, the music is too loud and it overtakes the singers voices. Shankar Mahadevan and Rimmi Tommy did okay but not good. But I dont blame them. How can they possibly express their talent in a song that goes kODi mundaa, guDDu mundaa, cheppukOvE konTe paapaa kOka mundaa, raika mundaa, cheppukOvoy chanTi baabU...! The master behind these lyrics is none other than Chandra Bose. As you can see, the description of the song is not any where near the word "good".
2. Dum Dum Dum... 3.5/5
The loudness of the music, which is caused by the usage of drums in this particular song, made this song a bit attractive. The first few lines of the charaNam-s are soft with any light music. Babji and Chitra did really well. Seetarama Sastry penned lyrics really well working with the theme of peLLi, where bride and grooms friends exchange retorts at each other. Brides friend sings veelu choosi nee vaalujaDaki pani cheppu jaali paDaka, gaalamEsi nee moguDi kaaLLu kaTTeyi kadalaneeka and the grooms friend snaps back with his lines.
3. enta pani chEsindE prEma... 3.25/5
The song starts off by the little words like ayyo.. vadulu... pOraa by the female lead. Now you know the situation of the song! Hariharan and Sujatha did well. There is nothing unique to mention about the music except the flute piece in the interlude. Seetarama Sastry penned nice lyrics like nuvvU nEnU puTTaka mundE vraasundE ee bandham.... Its worth listening for the lyrics.
4. soTTa buggala rukkumiNi... 2.5/5
The lyrics by Bhashasree take off as soTTa buggala rukkumiNi, piTTa sogasulEsukuni, gaTTu daaTi oopukunTU pOtE Music is okay and it has a folk touch to it. Karthik did a good job with pronunciation and Sujatha accompanied him well. A kids voice pops up in the middle of the song, and it is definitely cute, especially when he giggles! But most of the song doesnt make sense as far as the lyrics go. Anyway, I would listen to this one once to hear the kids voice.
5. meesaala gOpaalaa... 2.25/5
Udits pronunciation is worse than ever. Udit is singing significant amount of songs in the recent times. One fails to understand what is making Udits pronunciation so horrible. Sri Vardhini did well, however. The music for this one also has a folk-touch to it. The lyrics by Bhashasree try to bring out the nostalgia of the childhood days as they go neeku chinnanaaTi chemmachekka gurtu undaa.... If there is any grace in the song, it is tortured by Udit!

The main attraction of this album is six Music Directors, but those are all not for composing the tunes they each sung a song. Keeravani, Chakri, Devi Sri Prasad, RP Patnaik, Vandemataram and Srilekha each shared a song. Vandemataram gave an average to below average tunes and Dasari Lyrics for four songs are also not much impressive. Taidala Bapu & Ashok Teja also gave average lyrics for their limit of one song. In Playback Singers RP Patnaik, Devi Sri Prasad & Swarnalatha were good in their songs. Adugu Adugani, Soundaryama were the best picks of the album followed by Thannulu Thinte.
Soundaryama (Keeravani, Usha): Vandemataram has given a good melodious tune for the love duet. Keeravani also sings well and balanced. Usha's tone suited well to the song but she hasnt done a good job in the second stanza, her humming at the starting of the song was breezy. Lyrics by Dasari were good, but have less profound. Background beats and interludes are good and suited well to the mood of the song.
Bus Ekkithe (Chakri): The concept of the song is not convincible asking a ticket for Love by comparing Love with other things like Bus, Train etc. But the song attracts with different Lyrics, tune and Tone of the singer. Lyrics in the second stanza were not convincible and good. But Taidala Bapu has given the needed lyrics for the song. Chakri was the right choice of the song and he did well. Background beats and Interludes are not much good.
Aaku Chaatu Pindelam (Radhika, Sudharani): An average song, probably that was picturised on Shakeela and some others. Pallavi tune is good and singer also sang well. But they werent good after the first stanza. Pronunciation of the words by the singers is bad, some lyrics even were not able to hear. Most of the beats and tune is copied from some other songs, the tune of the words Tayyam Tattuyyam is from the song Nooziveedu Sonia from Avunu Valliddaru Ishtapaddaru. Lyrics by Shuddala Ashok Teja were just average. The impression of this vulgar song depends on the picturisation of the song, probably.
Thannulu Thinte (Devi Sri Prasad, Swarnalatha): Devi Sri Prasad & Swarnalatha were the right choice of the song, they have done a nice job. Lyrics were the highlight of the song. Dasari had given different and funny lyrics for the love song in the style of Chandrabose. The lines of Pallavi tannulu tinte tinnanu gaani junnu lanti kanne pilla vennelaga notikandindi, tippalu padite paddanu kaani laddu lanti buddi gaadu jiddu laaga antukunandu were funny. Tune and interluders are not freshy.
Adugu Adugani (RP Patnaik, Nishma): Tune is melodious but not much impressive. RP Patnaik & Nishma both had done a good job and their voice is good when singing the words Adugumari, Telupumari, Cheppumari, Emitadi and they sings well. Lyrics by Dasari are average.
Oyi Entoy (Vandemataram Srinivas, Sri Lekha): Tune and Lyrics are just average. Srilekha tone suited well to the song and she did a good job. Vandemataram also did an average job. Lyrics by Dasari werent impressive. Background beats and Interludes also not much impressive.

Jai - Audio Review
By NaChaKi
Jan 23, 2004, 02:37
Chitram Movies
Jai
Producer: Teja
Director: Teja
Music Director: Anoop
Audio Rights: Sohan Music
Lyrics: Kulasekhar
Playback: Anoop, Tippu & Master Manu (1); Shreya Ghosal (2); Anoop & Usha (3); Tippu (4); Baby Pretty & N. Sreenivas (5); Mallikharjun & Chitra (6); Sumangali (7); Lalitha & Chorus (8).
Rating: 3.5/5
Summary:
Teja promotes Patnaik's keyboarder Anoop to score music for this prestigious project. Anoop, who comes from behind the scenes - the orchestra, arranged his orchestra efficiently. The choice of singers is appreciable, but the need for the variety of voices he uses cannot be commented so early. Now, is he going to take Patnaik's stride in singing a few songs that he composes? Though he doesn't sound bad as a singer (not very great either!), a music director playing back his own compositions generally proves to be fatal, particularly in these days. Kulasekhar's lyrics need appreciation! The songs may take some time to impress the audience, like the earlier music hit in this banner jayam. (There's no equation or comparison here with the music of jayam!)
Playback
Lyric
Tune/Interlude/BGM
Dhama Dhama Dhama DOlu koTTu... (jai jai jai...) (Duration: 4:35 minutes) (Rating: 3.75/5)
After Patnaik two-timing as the music director and singer in Teja's movies, it seems to be Anoop's turn now! He does an okay job as a singer. Tippu now sings in Telugu better than most native singers! The child's voice is also very suitable and appreciably active. All the voices suit the mood of the song. This is a funny lyric written for flirting guys. Kulasekhar writes a very catchy and meaningful lyric. This can be quoted as one of his good lyrics. The theme, tune, lyric to some extent, and even the singing style reminds of R.P.'s "erra gulaabI tallO peTTukunnaadi..." (sambaram) though singers differ. The beat is suitable for the mood of the song.
enni aaSalO chinni gunDe lOna... (Duration: 4:37 minutes) (Rating: 3.75/5)
Shreya sings this melody with a commendable voice modulation and expression. However, her pronunciation of certain letters like the Sa in the word aaSa, dha in the word baadha, etc. should have been rectified. This seems to be a heroine introduction song, and is aesthetically penned. The song seems to be typically set to a situation where the heroine sings about her heart while thinking about her love. The lead music, along with the humming, sets the mood of this sensuous female solo. The orchestration sounds very familiar and so does the tune, but the song leaves a resonating impression on the audience.
O manasaa O manasaa... (Duration: 4:40 minutes) (Rating: 2.5/5)
Usha does a neat job like always. Anoop's voice might not suit melodies, and seems to be influenced by certain other singers. His rendition in this song is passable. This is a just-fallen-in-love kind of duet penned in a clichd manner. The use of English words like "support", "doubt" seem unnatural choices at those places. The lead music surprises the first time listener because the song header suggests a smooth melody whereas this song is actually a western-styled beat-based number! The orchestra has a bit of everything, making the song a mixture of folk, new-age, western, and classical styles.
One two three... (Duration: 4:56 minutes) (Rating: 3/5)
Tippu modulates his voice as necessitated by this western-styled "number". The lyric is innovative, and tells the importance of numbers in daily life, and also has satirical lines like "egirE flight ki O number, munigE bus ki O number". Anoop tries to bring a fusion of western tune and orchestration and Indian classical music in the interludes.
dESam manadE... (vandE maataram...) (Duration: 4:11 minutes) (Rating: 3/5)
Baby Pretty sings well, but suffers exactly the pronunciation defects as Shreya does in song #2, but this flaw has become too common these days even by adults, thanks to the influence of Hindi on our lives. Sreenivas adds his voice only to a part of the song. The song is patriotic in its theme but does not go aggressive. The song raises the voice of unity among Indians. vinaraa vinaraa... (Roja) has influenced many songs of this genre in the aspects of tune, orchestration in interludes and BGM, and chorus effects. This song is no exception. Nevertheless, this song is worth listening, particularly the audience who like such songs might not want to miss this.
nee kannullO... (nee kOsamE...) (Duration: 5:19 minutes) (Rating: 3.75/5)
Mallikharjun proves himself again with this soothing pathos number. Chitra needs no particular critique today, she is just great. Both signers instill audience's emotions. This song probably comes towards the climax of the movie, (or) when the lead pair is separated by unavoidable circumstances. The BGM sometimes dominates the vocals. The tune is impressive. The song comes with orchestration and interludes that are worth mentioning.
naa chEtilOna... (Duration: 2:56 minutes) (Rating: 3.5/5)
Sumangali's voice sounds unnecessarily young, if it is for the heroine (which seems obvious from the lyric)! The smooth gliding of notes (gamaka) at places sounds beautiful in this bit song. This is a song of the heroine singing for the hero, asking him lovingly to stay with her forever. The lalalaa... humming reminds of "machilIpatnam maaviDi chigurulO..." (merupu kalalu). Interludes sound good.
chuTTammO chuTTa aNaa... (Duration: 3:49 minutes) (Rating: 3.25/5)
Lalitha's voice is very different and suits the folk-like mood of the song. The male voice (Anoop?) doesn't seem to be credited in the audio. This song, interestingly, about cigars, or more familiarly, about chuTTa. The lyric also goes ahead to explain how a chuTTa is typically rolled. The lyric is good, but lacks catchiness. The beat, tune, and orchestration for this song go by the country-based folk-like theme. However, the words are not catchy and thus this song might not move up the charts much.

Sumanth Art Productions
varsham
Producer: M. S. Raju
Director: Sobhan
Music Director: DeviSri Prasad
Audio Rights: Aditya Music (India) Limited
Lyrics: sirivennela Seetarama Sastry
Playback: Kalpana, Chitra & Raqeeb Alam (1), S. P. Charan & Sumangali (2), Tippu & Usha (3), Mallikharjun & Kalpana (4), Karthik & Shreya Ghosal (5), Sagar & Sumangali (6), Adnan Sami & Sunita Rao (7)
Rating: 4.25/5
Summary:
DeviSri Prasad comes up with songs that can be elevated by visuals, but also can stand by themselves. Most numbers are mass-oriented and he uses his orchestra deftly to create the moods for the songs. Particular mention of the lyrics is surely necessary for this album. Seetarama Sastry penned all the lyrics and adds another 'single-card' to his credit. What is worth mentioning is his rendition of mass-oriented songs in a freely flowing, catchy manner using simple words and some words that are getting extinct, so to say! However, his typical style does not miss in any lyric - his wordplay, expressions, similes, rhyme, etc. stay the same but only change their orientation! Choice of singers sometimes seemed unreasonable - that is the only major shortcoming I should say, if I have to pick one! Also, DeviSri should see that his orchestration does not get routine.
Playback
Lyric
Tune/Interlude/BGM
chinuku ravvalO... (nuvvostaananTE...) (Duration: 5:11 minutes)
Chitra renders this song effectively, like always. Raqeeb's voice suited the mood of the song. Kalpana's voice comes as a humming in the start of the song. The song is an invitation to rain, but is written differently, and seems thematically different from kaalE mEghaa... (Hindi movie lagaan) and the ghallughallumani... (indra) songs. The song, which has a folk touch associated with it, is nicely written in simple words. Interludes are impressive, especially the splashing sound of water adds a nice effect. The flute, blended with drum beat, in the BGM towards the ending is good. The lead music reminds of the funny lead music of kannepeTTarO... from Hello Brother. The "Ektaara" in the lead music is good. Probably also because of the theme/style of the song, the tune reminds the chilakammaa chiTikEyangaa... (daLapati) song at places, nevertheless being catchy.
mellagaa karaganee... (Duration:4:59 minutes)
Charan modulates his voice effectively. Sumangali's pronunciations of certain words is unclear or wrong. Her voice gets too high-pitched in subsequent stanzas. A sizzling duet that runs thematically bringing rain into picture. Orchestration is typical of DeviSri. The heavy beat dominates the lyrics very inconsiderately. A lower pitch in the tune would have made the song better.
langaa vONee... (Duration:3:29 minutes)
Tippu is really improving from song to song, movie to movie! He surely deserves more than a pat for his efforts to pronounce Telugu better! Usha is at her usual best. Though this kind of lyric from Seetarama Sastry might be surprising to many, this only reminds me numerous mass-oriented songs he wrote in the past. His mark doesn't miss anyway - carefully observe the charaNam-s, and you can see that his wordplay, his beautiful expressions, his unique words are all there! This mass-oriented number has a suitable beat, orchestration, and more important, a catchy tune. It can easily catch up with the audience, also consideration the totally mass-oriented lead lines!
joolee joolee... (Duration:4:45 minutes)
Mallikharjun sounds different and very apt. Kalpana does a good job too. Another mass-oriented song from Seetarama Sastry! The rhyming in the lines is worth notable. The lead music lacks freshness to some extent, but soon blends into the tune. The interlude is filled with fast beat. The BGM balances it with a slow pace. The tune surely catches up soon among the audience.
kOpamaa naa paina... (Duration: 4:39 minutes)
Shreya sounds sweet. Karthik sings suitably too. A song mainly sung by the female lead asking her love to cool down his hot temper. The classy touch of tune and the interludes impress the audience. The tune is catchy too. The lead music sets the mood of the song effectively.
neeTi mullai... (Duration:1:15 minutes)
Sagar's voice is well-modulated but lacks clarity. Sumangali adds her sweet melody towards the end of the song. This bit song has its own beauty embedded in four lines. It borrows the last line from song #1, but this time it's a duet. Though a bit song, this is melody-filled to make it a memorable bit.
nacchaavE naizaam pOree... (Duration: 3:56 minutes)
Adnan Sami sings okay in Telugu, but his pronunciation gets unclear at places. Sunita Rao's pronunciation is better but is not great either. Her voice was piercingly high-pitched. This lyric surely surprises most of those who have been following Seetarama Sastry's career! It's probably the first of its kind he writes with so many Hindi words in the lyric and excels in it with ease! His style does not miss in the rhyming or wordplay. The tune, orchestration, interludes, and BGM - all have a middle Eastern infleunce on them. The drums in the background add a foot-tapping beat to the song. The interludes make one sway with the music.

palanaaTi brahmanaayuDu - Audio Review
By NaChaKi
Jun 5, 2003, 10:46
Venkataramana Productions Private Limited
palanaaTi brahmanaayuDu
Producer: Medikonda Muralikrishna
Director: B. Gopal
Music Director: Mani Sarma
Audio Rights: Aditya Music
Lyrics: Bhuvanachandra (1-5); Vennelakanti (6).
Playback: Malli & Kalpana (1); Shankar Mahadevan & Chitra (2); Udit Narayan & Chitra (3); Karthik & Radhika Poornima (4); Mano & Shalini (5); S.P.B. & Kalpana (6).
Rating: 3.5/5
Summary:
The beat for all the songs is active, indicating that they might be accompanied by good choreography on the screen. Almost all numbers are mass-oriented, and so are the lyrics. Inconsistency of singers seems to have hit Mani Sarma too this time.
Playback
Lyric
Tune/Interlude/BGM
bRndaavanamlO...
Kalpana's voice is more on the melody side, especially when compared to her renditions for the same music director earlier in movies like Takkari donga and indra. Malli does a good job too. The song starts with a nice pallavi but turns mass-oriented again, with clichd usages in the subsequent stanzas. The interlude with the strings attracts the audience. Clapping adds appreciable effect to the beat.
bandarulO bus stand lO...
Chitra and Shankar Mahadevan fill life into this racy duet with their effective rendition. The mass-oriented song has a lyric to meet the need! The interludes are good. The beat suits the mood of the song.
OsOsi poolateegaa...
Udit is again bad, like he is most of the time. It's probably the audience's luck that Chitra is generally used by the side of his voice to compensate the effect. This song has a simple and neat lyric by Bhuvanachandra for a typical duet. The composition, based on raaga Sivaranjani, is good, and the strings add a greater beauty to the song. The humming in the interlude went high-pitched.
sarasaala sundarayyaa...
Radhika Poornima's voice is sweet. She proves that she can sing mass-oriented numbers too! Karthik's voice is okay, but it could have been more active! (Though credits seem to mention the two parts of the female singer's name as two different names, I guess it's only one singer!) The lyric indicates that the song is picturized on the hero and the two heroines. The lead humming by chorus voices is very much like Mani Sarma's compositions in Takkari donga. The beat in the interlude is good.
palaka, balapam...
Shalini's voice seems a bit high-pitched but suits the mood of the song. Mano renders this song with ease. Another typical mass-oriented duet. The lyric uses Telugu varNamaala (alphabet) in its lines just like that. The tune and beat are typical of Mani Sarma. The tune is catchy.
gunDammO gunDammO...
Kalpana again sounds like in her previous songs. This song is again rendered by Balu and Kalpana for Mani Sarma and sounds hackneyed. Vennelakanti writes this song in the typical style of Bhuvanachandra, who penned all the other songs in the movie. The lyric is written interestingly, mentioning various localities of Hyderabad, but unfortunately not making much meaning for the rhyming. A few other rhyming words were exactly the ones used for similar combinations of singers and music director! The tune is typical of Mani Sarma, especially for the pallavi. The beat is active.

Dongaramudu And Party: Audio Roundup
By
Jun 5, 2003, 07:09
This week in Audio Roundup: Dongaramudu And Party
Donga Ramudu & Party is yet another attempt of making unconventional cinema. As the title suggests this is a typical Vamsi movie, the album derives inspiration from typical Vamsi movies albums, that is evident from the song Prema Panchami. The album contains Duets. Vamsis movie songs have not only enthralled the audience but have also contributed to the success of the respective movies and this album would leave the avid Vamsi fans craving for the movie release.
siri siri is a Duet, when a thief (Donga) fall in love, is quite impressive and was a well composed song.
prema panchami is another easy, breezy song and has typical Vamsi movie beats.
Another track, which is quite impressive, is the duet by Srinivas & Sujatha, chali rathiri.
The slow melodious edo edo lacks novelty most of the tune resemblance of some song or the other of Chakris previous compositions.
Kallona Nuvvu, another song from the album, beautifully sung by SPB and Sujatha though the tune and interludes are not fresh.
Another impressive song of the album was Vannelunna Nari
Lyrics of the album are quite impressive for a couple of songs given by Thanikella Shankar.
Its been sometime that SPB singing most of the songs. Here, he renders four songs with Sujatha and one with Sunitha. The album showcases SPBs versatility, being such a fantastic singer, with his unique voice, has given the album a new lease of life. On the whole, an album worth listen to.
Stay tuned for detailed Audio Review

oka raaju - oka raaNi - Audio Review
By NaChaKi
May 20, 2003, 18:57
Ushakiron Movies
oka raaju - oka raaNi
Producer: Ramoji Rao
Director: Yogi
Music Director: Chakri
Audio Rights: Mayuri Audio
Lyrics: Trivikram Srinivas
Playback: Chakri (1, 6); Chakri & Kousalya (2); Kousalya (3); Udit Narayan & Kousalya (4); Mathin & Kousalya (5);
Rating: 3.25/5
Telugu Lyrics
Summary:
Lyrics score a bit more on the indicated rating for these songs. These songs make one listen to them repeatedly. Trivikram, who has already exhibited his flair in penning dialogues and directing a movie, now comes up with lyrics for the album, as a commendable single-card lyricist! If one has to set a comparison to scale his talent as a lyricist, the expressiveness in his words reminds the audience to a few numbers by sirivennela Seetarama Sastry, his metre-less lines might remind of aachaarya Aatreya, and his usage of words is like Veturi; his style (Saili) cannot however be estimated yet. Only at some places, the usage of words gives ambiguous meaning to certain lines. Chakris orchestration is good, and the interludes are rich. The tunes are also mostly catchy. If theres something that anyone would find fault with, its the choice of singers again, as in his earlier albums! Lack of consistency of male voices, and monotony of the female voice might cause boredom to the listeners! On the whole, the music might boost the movie or live with it!
Playback Lyric Tune/Interlude/BGM
swaraala veeNa! eevELalOna
Chakri sounds better than in few of his earlier songs.The humming by female voice (Kousalya?) is also good. Chakris humminghowever ends in his breath intake! He still requires some refinement in hispronunciation. Expressions like rEyi cheera kappukunna chandamaama, vaalE poddulaa jaarE(nee) jaDa are innovative. The tune constricts the lyric at places, but is goodoverall, and catchy. The starting (ettugaDa) and parts of the song however remind the jaanu tenugu paaTa song from adbhutam (sonda kuraLil paaDa from amarkkalaam).The interludes also gel with the tune very much.
vennelE nuvvani
Chakri sounds differently again! Kousalya sounds okay,but a lower pitch could have been more melodious, probably. Pronunciation byboth of them in parts of the first charaNam (second stanza) is too bad! A typical duet takes a beautiful form in this lyric. keraTamai pongitE teeramaitaakanaa is a good expression. The interlude is differently Oriental-like, strings soundgood, before the humming accompanied by the occasional DaanDiyaa-like sound. The tune is good too.
chakiTachakiTataam (kalalu kanTaamu)
The lead humming is jolly and marks the mood of the song!A bit of expression would help understand the lyric better! Overall, Kousalyarenders the song really well but just not impeccable. This song seems to establish the heroine. The lyric seemsto go with the optimistic characterization of the heroine who dreams aboutthis world as Utopia and wants to see the same in reality. The interlude is good. The tune is catchy. Humming addedgood effect to the tune.
mannu tinE chinnatanam
Udit sings this song in his usual style, ending wordswith half-sounds (halant) likeHindi! Breaking words like EmunDadaaat wrong places give a very different meaning, and he better be told aboutthat! Kousalya takes the job of compensating his voice in this song! Is itnow customary that songs with the word gOpemmamust be sung by Udit, after the hit of raamaa chilakammaa and raadhE gOvindaa?! The lyric is interesting! Its a song where the heroineasks the hero to wait until theyre married! The beat is good. The racy interlude suits the tune, buta haunting interlude (say, with wind instruments) would go hand in hand withthe theme of the song!
nidurinchE raatirilO
Mathins voiceis heavy. His pronunciation is too bad, especially for the lines like (harivillu) varNaalanE nE aDaganI. Kousalyas voiceis good, and again tries to add melody to this song spoilt by the malecounterpart! chinukayyE mEghamlaa digi raalEnaa? is a niceexpression. Almost every line has such a notable expression in this lyric! The drumbeat in the BGM and interlude are both good.Listening to this tune and BGM gives an effect similar to an old Hindi number!
naa praaNam naa praNayam
Chakri sounds very differently in this song again! Itd probably be better if he sticks to a consistent voiceat least while singing for the same movie, and concentrate more on hispronunciation! The pronunciation for this song suits the mood, but careshould be taken not to miss clarity. The metaphors and similes used in the lyric are worthnoting. However, clichd wordings like aaSa-Swaasa can also be observed. The pain in the theme of the song is suitably representedby the BGM and the thumping beat.

yuva
Producer: Sunkara Madhumurali
Director: Mani Ratnam
Music Director: A. R. Rahman
Audio Rights: Aditya Music (India) Limited
Lyrics: Veturi (1-3, 5-6); Blazee (4).
Playback: Sunitha Sarathy, Shankar Mahadevan, Lucky Ali & Karthik (1); A. R. Rahman & Karthik (2); A. R. Rahman & Madhusree (3); Blazee & Shaheen (4); Adnan Sami & Sujatha (5); A. R. Rahman, Sunitha Sarathy & Tanvi (6).
Rating: 2.0/5
Summary:
"God, save Telugu Cinema music!" - This is all I can tell about this album. The music doesn't seem anywhere near Rahman-grade, the lyrics are not anywhere near Veturi-grade (well, they are almost utterly meaningless and insensible), the vocals are not very good, the rerecording and mixing were mediocre. Music overlap does not give great effects as might be intended; instead, they actually belittle the value of an otherwise good BGM - that's what happened with some songs in this album. No song's situation can be guessed because the lyrics give no clue. If you felt this album deserves a better rating than that is given here, attribute the discrepancy to factors like the carelessness of the moviemakers to give some value to a substance in a song called lyric, the lack of attention from the side of the one of the country's best composers in composing and choosing the playback singers. For the records, this is the least rating I have ever given to any movie's audio!
Playback
Lyric
Tune/Interlude/BGM
Hey goodbye priyaa!... (Duration: 4:59 minutes) (Rating: 2.5/5)
Sunitha Sarathy's mispronunciation of the letter 'Sa' was unbearable because of frequent occurrence in the first stanza. Her voice was too husky and does not impress upon the audience. The male voices are effective for the theme of the song, but well, only Shankar Mahadevan can be heard most the time. Did this song really require three different singers? The lyric does not sound very meaningful. What difference does it really make if Veturi writes no different than the typical A.M. Rathnam-style lyric for a dubbing song?! The BGM dominated the husky female voice. The piano in the background toward the end of the song is good, but does not synchronize with anything else (typical "Rahmanic") and thus might not register with most audience. The tune is typically Rahman's.
jana gaNa mana... (Duration: 4:58 minutes) (Rating: 2/5)
Rahman's voice seems very different and unsuitable. Karthik's voice is not very pronounced. This happens to be the title song of the song. The reference to the header of the National Anthem doesn't make much sense. Blame the playback voices used and the mixing for not being able to conceive the lyric fully. The BGM gives a different feel. The beat is good too. The song ends in a sound like that of a breaking glass. Doesn't that remind Michael Jackson's Dangerous? Was that the intended effect?
sankuraatri kODi... (Duration: 4:56 minutes) (Rating: 3.25/5)
Madhusree's voice is very impressive, but bearing her pronunciation is not as easy. Rahman's voice gels with the song. Thanks to its melodious vocals, this can be counted as a good song in the album, if I have to call at least one song as good. The lyric is a female lead's invitation to her lover. Though not fully very meaningful or sensible, the lyric is at least conceivable. Now, that's a relief! This folk-styled number has good beat, orchestration, tune, and BGM. The line konchem konchem korukku tinavayyaa... along with its BGM, reminds of Rahman's earlier great hit thillaanaa thillaanaa... (muttu), particularly the line chiku chiku chindeyyannaanaa...
Doal Doal... (Duration: 3:58 minutes) (Rating: 3.25/5)
The voices for this song are effectively chosen and presented. Is there a lyric for this song that I can comment on?! Excuse me for not being able to identify the very fact! The lead music creates interest in the song. It blends nicely with the lead voice. Lyrics or no lyrics, This rap number makes an interesting audience.
aalOchinchu... (vacchindaa mEgham...) (Duration: 5:24 minutes) (Rating: 2.75/5)
Adnan Sami sings and pronounces this number better than his previous attempt at Telugu in varsham but is not yet anywhere near perfection. Sujatha's inclusion supplements the vocals of the song. The lyric is very much in Telugu, or rather it uses Telugu words mostly, but well, it doesn't make any sense really! After listening to so many songs from this album, that doesn't surprise me any more! The tune and BGM are good. The interludes are impressive too.
dEham tiri... (Duration: 4:35 minutes) (Rating: 2/5)
The vocals are good for this song. That's a relief. I'd refrain from making any comments on this lyric too - I really could not make out much from the bits and pieces I could make out! The tune is typical Rahman-styled. The beat is "beaten up" a lot. The use of classical notes in the interlude blends well.

akkada no of 100 days centers r deciding who is great. So they are in the race to drag. that started with Indra and reached Everest with Tagore. Let us see if SAMBAdu reaches double Everest with it. Then it will be challenge to pedda Sankar again

like how Okkadu has minted much more money than Simhadri last year...
both r block busters and released in same year. |

where did i said that JR never drags??
okavela Jr gaadu drag cheyyadam ledu ante naa kanna edava inkodu vundadu. He does. But he does just to beat Siru. Thats all.
Apart from that HE is good as actor and star. Nuvvu adi kooda accept cheyyavu kadaa maama. malla BS gola enduku le ikkada?? i was never fan of BK and i dont care about him.
initial gaa DVP & Siru combo. So ade combo lo vachhina MR gurinchi nenu seppa (it being their last movie).
dani gurinchi septe evado balio annadu. daniki nuvvu nannu adi septadu CJ idi septadu antunnav.
correct gaa seppalante Jr gaadu budi budi nadakala time ke mana MegaStar DRAGGING ane padaniki spelling meaning decide sesaru Vja lo KONDAVEETI DONGA ane Cinema toni.
