Song Review: Emo Emo Emoo (‘Devadas’)

Sirivennela Seetharama Sastry’s lyrics are resonant, replete with simple yet evocative meaning.  The line ‘Naalo bhaavam nuvve roopu katti ila edhurayyave’ is breezy, much like the rest of the song.  

Mani Sharma turns into a Melody Brahma, once again, for this soulful number.  He allows Sid Sriram to rule the roost, complete with a deep voice.  After listening to ‘Inkem Inkem’ from ‘Geetha Govindam’ and ‘Egiregire’ from ‘Shailaja Reddy Alludu’, both by the same singer, ‘Emo Emo Emoo’ sounds way too been-there-done-that.

‘DevaDas’, starring Nagarjuna, Nani, Rashmika Mandanna and Aakanksha Singh, will hit the screens on Sept 27.  Its songs are out on Aditya Music.
