Bangaram: audio

Ra Ra Bangaram is a call to re-establish the lost magic of Pavan Kalyan. The rhythm and the rhyming have enough punch to instigate whistles from the fanatics. Chidugudante bhayam is arranged specifically for the front-benchers. Though sticking to the typical Telugu mass-appeal, Vidya Sagar’s compositions bear uniqueness in terms of orchestration. Listen to the base-guitar in Jai Shambo and Maro Masti Maro! And if Pavan is able to obey the choreographer, a chance of witnessing an on-screen ablaze is not far away.
On the flip side, the album suffers from improper singers for a couple of numbers. Udit Narayan was a bad choice for a good composition like Egire Chilakamma.

Poi: audio

These are strictly KB-controlled compositions. Except for the Manmadha-Rasa-alike ‘Iyyakunare’, Vidya Sagar’s choice of singers and orchestration are akin to the tastes of niche music-lovers. ‘Alagana Poikile’ brings across frames of hero holding the mike or guitar on stage (typical KB-film hero-intro song). ‘Kutti Kutti Kavitai’ and ‘Enna tholaithai’ will find quite a wider range of listeners for the thick melody and lovable female voices (Chitra and Shalini respectively). ‘La La La’ is for SPB fanatics --- man! His voice still sounds so young! The guitar and the flute are given enough chance to prove their own magic.

Morsels

It’s true that in this world of racing and hurrying, most people have less time to pay heed to tons of words and lengthy lines. But ‘keeping short’ has another analysis. Though we order for ‘a plate’ meal, we actually have it in ‘morsels’!
