Song Review: 'Bharat Ane Nenu'

  • IndiaGlitz, [Sunday,March 25 2018]

The title track of 'Bharat Ane Nenu', touted as the 'Song of Bharat', is out this Sunday. Devi Sri Prasad dishes out an absorbing music that is both inspiring and intense.  The earnestness of the lead character finds a rousing reflection in the way the highs and lows are conveyed in the song.  There are also traces of the 'Who Are You' song from '1: Nenokkadine' and 'Love Me Again' from 'Nannaku Prematho'.  

David Simon's subdued voice complements the pitch of the music.  In him, DSP finds an offbeat voice that even reminds one of AR Rahman's.  

Ramajogayya Sastry's lyrics derive from such themes as an ideal ruler is a server, etc. 'Sevinche bantunu nenani' is a case in point.  Egged on by Koratala Siva, he also uses Abraham Lincoln's definition of democracy.
