This album is carefully crafted offering a bevy of lyrical variety. The lyrics by Vennelakanti, Chandrabose, Bhuvanachandra, Ramajogayya Sastry are there for all age groups.
The selection of a range of singers proves another big plus.
Hello Kusala Mena Cheli
Artists: Hemachandra
Lyricist: Vennelakanti
The romantic duet comes with soothing lyrics from Vennelakanti. The lyrics speak of the boy's heartfelt feelings and describes what the newborn love has done to him. Hemachandra's mellifluous rendition suits the song perfectly.
Ninnu Chuste
Artists: Swapnil Bandodkar, Anandi Joshi
Lyricist: Chandrabose
The song comes with profound lyrics and a soft music. Chandrabose's knack for writing deep lyrics needs no introduction. Added to this is the music director's excellent instrumentation and tuning. Swapnil's vocals are mature like Yesudas', whereas Anandi Joshi's voice is eminently soft.
Cheyijari Poyena
Artists: Anandi Joshi
Lyricist: Chandrabose
The short number comes with a melancholic touch. Chandrabose pens profound words yet again to give a perfect expression to the girl's mood.
Nivvu Aade
Artists: Hemachandra
Lyricist: Bhuvanachandra
Bhuvanachandra's lyrics are haunting and come with a contextual meaning as well as a universal appeal. Hemachandra delivers the difficult song with panache. He proves yet again that he is one of the most gifted singers of this generation. The music is in the pure mode, although here and there the influences are there for all to see.
Choopule Churukkumanna
Artists: Mangesh Borgaokar, Bela Shende
Lyricist: Rakendu Mouli
Bela Shinde's mellifluous voice reminds one of Shreya Ghoshal. Mangesh sounds extremely good and eminently native. The music does come with a smattering of inspiration. Rakendu Mouli's lyrics are like a breeze.
Merustondi
Artists: Chinmayee, Rakendu Mouli
Lyricist: Ramajogayya Sastry
For a song that is not in the regular mould, Chinmayee and Rakendu Mouli prove a blessing. Ramajogayya Sastry's lyrics come with a dose of both apparent and subtle lyrics. The song is sure to appeal to those who have a taste for non-obvious tuning.
Maye Marache
Artists: Harini, Gopika, SP Shailaja, Vaishali
Lyricist: Bhuvana Chandra
The medley of singers make the jamboree-filled lyrics all the more a celebration. SP Shailaja's vocals are clearly identifiable, so also Harini, Gopika and Vaishali. Bhuvana Chandra's lyrics are a rip-off but they are enjoyable nevertheless. The music passes muster.
Ninne Ninne
Artists: Pranavi, Suraj
Lyricist: Vennelakanti
The song comes with a non-Telugu native flavour but Vennelakanti's lyrics are laden with meaning. One gets it good because of Pranavi and Suraj. The music is just about ok.
Verdict: The album comes with a reasonably fine music.
Rating: 3.25/5
