Before trying to analyze this song, first we need to understand the what is all about the original, what changes Thaman made and what is the end result because of the changes.

We can then realize whether this song carried forward the legacy or messed it up on whole? The original song was composed by Maestro Ilayaraja sung by SPB and Chitra. This song remained as one of the greatest classic song in the career of Chiranjeevi and Radha.

Original Song: The beauty of this song is the melody, SPB, Chitra's singing, the grace chiranjeevi/Radha brought which none of telugu movie buff would forget. The song starts with fantastic flute showing heroine waiting, slowly the beats are added to represent the hero is approaching heroine then the guitar is gracefully added to the song with a perfect tempo as they both meet. Anyone listed and watched this song remembers this even closing their eyes. The beauty of the song is the tempo and the guitar that follows the song at regular intervals. Without this this song doesn't get the same feeling of hearing. Chitra starts the song and added by every sweet voice SPB. The way they express while singing perfectly matches the characters feeling. Now veturi garu takes this song to the next level with his fantastic words. Everything perfectly set that this song can get no better.

Remix song: Thaman has basically got the tempo wrong. Then he takes away the flute which was the heart of this original song, there by the melody is gone. Once cannot take the soul out and present the body. Now Shreya Ghoshal comes and says "Shubhalekha" instead of "Subhalekha" inspite of singing in Telugu for almost a decade. Then its "Ponna chettu", not "punna chettu". Thaman's singers sing this song as if they are in a hurry. Therey by it has lost its entire charm. Haricharan then takes this song to complete downfall. The way he says eppudo is more sarcastic than bringing nice effect. The less said about him the better for us. The improvisations are totally at wrong places, they are totally wasted. Shreya ghoshal had strained in singing many places. I don't think anyone can do gross injustice to the original song than this team.

Charan has been using one of his father's song in each movie he is working, but he is not realizing that the is doing more harm to himself than favor. I dont think he doesnt get right to himself re-using his fathers song even though he does justice to them thru his dancing skills. He has to see the other side of the coin and avoid such things in future films. Hope he understands this.
