Veelunte
Artist: Nakul Abhyankar
Lyricist: Radha Subrahmanyam
The album gets a breezy start with this youthful song. The number has romantic lyrics by Radha Subrahmanyam. Nakul Abhyankar has got vocals that can pass off for good with the zeitgeist-infested youngsters. Hari shows some spark in terms of tuning and instrumentation.
Radhe Radhe
Artist: Haricharan
Lyricist: Radha Subrahmanyam
'Radhe Radhe' is a surprise of a second song. Hari marshals his musical skills to a smoothing effect. His tuning evokes a feeling of longing and joyfulness. Haricharan is at his usual best; he renders the demanding number to a perfect rhythmic effect. Radha gets even more poetic with this song.
Madana Mohana
Artists: Pranavi, SP Charan
Lyricist: Rakendu Mouli Vennelakanti
The young Vennelakanti deploys his profound bent of mind here. The lyrics are easily the song's best part, and they demand attention and an eye for detail. Pranavi's mellifluous voice is complemented by that of no less a singing talent than SP Charan. All in all, Hari delivers a good output by matching the talent of everyone from the lyricist to the two singers.
Ola Ola
Artists: Hari, Hemachandra
Lyricist: Radha Subrahmanyam
This one induces a sense of deja vu as it exudes a rip-off flavour for sure. Such kind of minimal inspiration is not improper. Hari and Hemachandra deliver a dekko. Their vocals are surely apt. As for Radha's lyrics, they are sans all the fluke that so-called youthful numbers today feature.
Tuhi Tuhi
Artists: Haricharan, Sunil Kashyap, Lipsika
Lyricist: Rakendu Mouli Vennelakanti
This is yet another tribute to love in this album. Once again, the young Vennelakanti paints the sky with a poetic brush. If the lyrics are high-brow, Haricharan, Sunil Kashyap and Lipsika give out splendid vocals. Hari's music is entertaining.
Naalo Premey
Artists: Hari
Lyricist: Radha Subrahmanyam
A song of this genre was awaited in this album. Hari has a very Illayaraja-esque as well as AR Rehman-esque baritone and this works in favour of this song that exudes pathos. Hari shows his imagination when it comes to music as well. Radha's meaningful lyrics cast a splendid spell.
Verdict: True to the title that has a Telugu-esque, this album has authentic Telugu-fied songs. Profound lyrics, good vocals and okay music make it a worthy one.
Rating: 3.5/5
