In this section, we are going to review the songs from 'Ramarao On Duty', which is a Lahari Music album.
King of the Crowd
Singer: Lavita Lobo
Lyricist: Sarath Mandava
The English-language lyrics emerge from Sarath Mandava's masala-ridden, rooted, explosive pen. Ramarao puts the nation above everything and everyone, and that's what makes him Ramarao. Lavita Lobo's singing is energetic, if not electrifying and booming. The song makes for a good montage one filled with slow-mo shots.
Naa Peru Seesa
Singers: Shreya Ghoshal, Sam CS
Lyricist: Chandrabose
Chandrabose's lyrics are catchy, especially when they don't restrain themselves. The lines befit the spirit of a true 'item' song, complete with objectifying the liquor glass in a pakka commercial manner. 'Nenu kaadu naa photo chaalu, theerustundi mee asha' is unabashed and whistle-worthy. Sam CS' composition makes use of the keys, the guitars, the mandolin, the flute and the bouzouki to an entertaining effect. Shreya Ghoshal's vocals carry a spark.
Sottala Buggallo
Singers: Haripriya, Nakul Abhyankar
Lyricist: Kalyan Chakravarthy
The melody is a subdued version of an out-and-out bedroom song. Kalyan Chakravarthy's lyrics give a rhythmic and mellow expression to female desire. The 'raga' is a throwback to the 2000s-style melodies brought out by the likes of Mani Sharma. Haripriya's voice easily trumps the youthful, rough vocals of Nakul Abhyankar. The song choreography looks designed to evoke feelings of soft romance. The picturization is a winner.
BulBul Tarang
Singer: Sid Sriram
Lyricist: Rakendu Mouli
This hero-pampers-heroine song doesn't suffer from cliched ideas. The tune is quite refreshing, and the way Sid Sriram sings the song, one roots for the 'she is so cute' beats of the lyrics. Composer Sam CS makes his singer enjoy the song while not sounding frivolous. The intonations, and the modulation are sublime. Rakendu Mouli's lyrics are free from impure embellishments; they sound well-rounded and profound. This is a winner of a song shot on Ravi Teja and Rajisha.
