Rendered to a scintillating effect by Anirudh Ravichander, 'Gaali Vaaluga' is also a throwback to the classical Western style at one level. In this boisterous set-up that the music director is known for, he makes a syncopated pitch in his own right.

Sirivennela Sitarama Sastry's lyrics poetically capture the lover boy's longing for his muse's friendship. 'Cheli ila dorikithe nee sneham' and the like size the feelings up. Curiously, such contrasting words as 'Manohari' and 'Pisachi' have been deployed to describe the beautiful girl, who may well be trolling the hero with her obstinacy.

Music-wise, the instrumentation gives enough room for the choreographer to mount a song that has the bare minimum yet graceful dance moves.

'Agnyaathavaasi', starring Pawan Kalyan, Keerthy Suresh and Anu Emmanuel in lead roles, hits the screens on Jan 10. Directed by Trivikram Srinivas, it's Power Star's 25th film.
