Telugu Studio: 03/01/2012

Movie: Eega ( 2012 )

Director: SS Rajamouli

Producer: Sai Korrapati

Cast: Nanee, Samanta, Sudeeep

Music: MM. Keeravani

Eega is a much awaited project from Rajamouli. He was able to keep the excitement sustained in the audience for so long. Finally the audio is launched in a typical Rajamouli house way. Obviously the story about Eega will give less chance for having regular commercial songs. Seems like there is a love thread that goes between Lead characters so there has to be one or two love songs and then the rest of focus should go to Eega. Rajamouli never deviated so far from MM keeravani as his Music director. Their team effort is clearly seen in many of their earlier films as they have a different level of understanding. With this genre movies where the focus is on Eega, the movie has to go hand in hand with the Story. Thats why this movie has only 4 songs. The title song had a remix version, again is a space filler. Lyrics department is shared across and each song is written by different lyricist. From the theatrical trailer, the story can be imaginable. However how the visual feast will be created by Rajamouli will be the curiosity that viewers will have in mind and what was the effort that took almost 2 years for the movie in making will be known soon, when the movie will be released.

1. Nene Nanee Ne
Artist(s): Deepu, Sahiti
Lyricist: MM. Keeravani

The album started with a pretty feel good song. Deep started very well, assisted by simple instrumentation. The rhythm pattern is heard many times before but added value to this song. Deepu is an asset to this song, though he needs to work a little on high notes. Sahiti is limited to humming part doesn't get any space for her own. Keeravani wrote simple lyrics. Overall a good hummable song the phrase "kanapadina ok, kanumarugoutunna ok" will haunt and finally ends on a good note.

2. Ee Ga Ee Ga Ee Ga
Artist(s): Deepu, Rahul Sipligunj, Sravana Bhargavi, Chaitra
Lyricist: Rama Jhogaya Sastry

Naani, is the buzz word for this album, Nene naani, My name is naanee. Rama jogayya sastry, has written multi lingual song, not sure why. The audio release showed a count down numbers of 10, this song in movie might explain what is all about the number counting. High paced number. As the song goes by, the pattern, and rhythm gets pace and slowly peaks at times. Eega movie should have the sound of the Eega, this comes in the end of the song. Situational song, every singer has put good effort to bring in the effects that are required for the song. Rahul was given two songs in Keeravani's earlier movie Dammu, and he gets another chance. He might have impressed Keeravani so much. Suprisingly female singers get less footage in this entire album.

3. Konchem Konchem
Artist(s): Vijay Prakash
Lyricist: Ananth Sriram

Ananth Sriram excelled in this song. Pisinaari Naarive, Pisaranta palakave, aa kanche tenchave ivvalaina was nice phrase. Keeravani added stylish tune, the rest of the colors and presented this song in a amicable way. Keeravani is adopting new ways of composing to please young audience. Wazz up is done for the same I guess. Obviously he doesn't have any choice. Vijay Prakash did a decent job and another fine song from Keeravani.

4. Lava Lava
Artist(s): Anuj Gurwara, Shivani
Lyricist: Chaitanya Prasad

Another stylish presentation from Keeravani, but Anuj failed to present this song. "Lava Lava, gundelo laava, vennello marige valcano nuvva" sounded strainful and stressful. He lacked the voice range and also failed to do justice to words. Again Shivani is limited to humming and chorus. Keeravani gave high voltage music but somehow it lacked few things to impress.

5. Ee Ga Ee Ga Ee Ga ( Remix)
Lyricist: Rama Jhogaya Sastry

Added a voice of Eega for this remix song. The sound of Eega also mixed randomly throughout.

Pick(s) of the album: Nene Nanee ne, Konchem Konchem

Keeravani presented a new perspective of himself through this movie. He didn't go wrong and the expectations are met. He gave what the movie wanted and two nice songs to please other audience and the team succeeded another time. With expectations that Rajamouli will provide a visual treat, this music might be appearing too minute if he can succeed what everyone expects. All the best for the team.

Movie: Dammu ( 2012 )

Director: Boyapati Srinu

Producer: Alexander Vallabha ( presented by KS Rama rao )

Cast: NTR Jr, Trisha, Karthika Nair

Music: MM. Keeravani

Lyrics: Chandrabose

NTR Jr. and Keeravani share a special relation as whenever they worked togather, both movie and music achieved success. Notable movies are Simhadri, Yamadonga, Student Number 1. The music along with the movies remained as repeated hearing/viewing movies in the career of NTR Jr. Then Boyapati Srinu attained huge success with his earlier movie Simha and created a trend for his own regarding mass movies. He has proved with Simha what it takes to make a mass movie and keep not only the fans of the Hero, but every one glued to this movie with great interest towards the movie. With this back drop, Dammu by default has huge expectations not only movie wise, but music too. For the given caliber of NTR, the music has to be mass oriented with the title and trailers suggesting the same. Chandrabose has got single name card for Lyrics. He is the one who writes mass songs with no hesitation, inhibitions and limitations. MM keeravani bagged the audio rights for this movie and the music is released from his label Vel Records. Lets see how the team worked togather to meet the expectations and whether they achieved it or not.

There are total 5 songs for the movie and one song repeated for Audio, either for filling up space or just wanted to share a pre-recorded version of the song. Also since Vel records bagged this audio, you get to listen to the signature Sound of Vel. The songs are as follows

1. O Lilly

Artist(s): Baba Sehgal and Chorus.

Keeravani made sure Baba Sehgal not heard much alone. He managed his voice very well either by adding chorus or instruments at places in the song. Otherwise if one listens clearly, one will listens and understands different meanings. Chchavve(death), instead of chaave. On and off this reminds a song that was recently released movie. Chandrabose is day by day degrading in his lyrics. He has to write a mass song is what he has to To tell the lady as angel, he used all angles, then he wrote, Major ayina ninnu choosi roju roju raajukundi. Sound completely dominated song, which is not the likes of Keeravani. He tried too many things in the song. Depends upon NTR how he can take this song to reach to his fans and audience.

2. Ruler (Movie Version)

Artist(s): Prudhvi Chandra, Geetha Madhuri, Revanth, Sahiti

This start of the song totally a surprise from MM Keeravani. Rap with heavy accent which totally messed up the words is totally unwarranted from MM Keeravani who is regarded as pinnacle to Telugu language. The song starts with various kingdoms anga, vanga kalinga, kerala, magadha, laanti chakravarthulunna, then various arts katha, chitralekhanam, sangeetam, hasta saamudrikam then skills baana, vajra danda finally telling he is sakala vidya prapoornudu... Many such high profile rulers and words to elevate the character are messed up big time. This not only confuses every listener also makes it very hard to get the hand of the words. Understand Keeravani tried to build up the introduction to elevate the song to a level which he achieved when actually Ruler is pronounced first time in the song, but definetely didn't work out the way it is desired.

Having said that, there after its a feast to fans. Then Keeravani succeeded to bring the effect he wanted, by bringing in the beats, tempo and energy. However in between the song goes ups and down. Suddenly the tempo vanishes when female singer comes in and then the tempo starts again. I think this has to do something with the picturization of the song in the movie. This song will be highly appreciated by fans the way it is carried, when the song ends, fans will go frenzy for sure... but on flip side leaves any music lover disappointed.

3. Raja Vasi Reddy

Artist(s): MM. Keeravani, Krishna Chaithanya, chorus

Nuvvu whistle este Andhra soda buddy, the charm of the song from Simhadri re- used and the the interludes are also re-used, making keeravani's job pretty easy for this song. Taata korina manavadu nenai-to----buttuvu -- didn't expect Keeravani to sing the way he sang. Tobuttuvu is one word not two.. These days words are messed up for the sake of music which is happening quite often. Other than that song is good to hear. Everyone did their best bringing in right emotions and energy. Interludes have become monotonous now a days with Rap induced forcefully just for the sake of youth. Who is asking this not sure? Also songs are no more singer oriented. Krishna Chaitanya is lost in the crowd.

4. Vaastu Bagunde

Artist(s): Rahul Sipilgunj, Shivani, Sravana Bhargavi

Chandrabase comes to his basics with his song. He uses all the directions for his convenience and appeal masses. Whether they make sense or not it doesn't matter for any body as it is a mass song and the focus is all towards NTR (probably few on heroines) and his dance steps. When it is a pakka mass song, beats will be oriented towards the same. Keeravani does no mistake in this. Again rap in between, thought its not an issue for this song. Again too loud music for this type of song. What is happening to Keeravani??

5. Dhammu

Artist(s): Rahul Sipilgunj, Shivani, Sravana Bhargavi

Song title matches movie title. It ends there. Dammu, Sommu how they are related movie might explain or chandrabose.Once again pure mass song. Shivani's voice is too weak at times. Sravana bhargavi brought in some different effect to the song. Keeravani doesn't sound fresh in this song. Rahul sings with good energy and is only the saving grace for this song.

6. Roolar (Cd Version)

Artist(s): MM. Keeravani, Geetha Madhuri

It has same positives and negatives doesn't offer anything better.

Pick(s) of the album: Ruler, Raja Vasi Reddy, Vastu bagunde

Overall this album is again an out and out mass album for NTR Jr. The fans will come out with flying colors, but keeravani's fans and rest will not get a huge takeaway from his album. If heard without expectations from Keeravani, this album would have been a decent album, but when comparision comes in picture with earlier combination movies, this music will not offer much.

Movie: ONAMAALU( 2012 )Music: Koti

Director: kranti Madhav

Lyrics: Seetarama Sastry

Cast: Rajendra Prasad & Kalyani

Any telugu person who had Aksharabhyasam will know what is Onamaalu is all about. Comes with a caption "Mee balyam loki maro prayaanam", Onamaalu movie has a great expectations as the movie trailer are so fantastic and heart touching. Rajendra Prasad and Kalyani starrer looks very promising meaningful movie. Expectations are that this would be another feather in cap for Rajendra Prasad. With this backdrop, the music has been released. After Dhoni, Sirivennela gets another single card as lyricist for this movie ONAMAALU. Koti and Sirivennela delivered some great songs earlier. Lets see how this team worked togather this time, what did they do to the movie and music. All songs are less than 4 minutes which is less than the standard song length. One song goes close to 7 minutes which is definetely a time to look.

01 - Sooridu - Koti

Koti might have thought when every other music director is singing why not me? And he does better than many of the professional importer singers. Entire song tries to brings the village infront of our eyes. Sound of the chicken/hen, birds, cattle, goats, and many other voices are good to hear. It brings out many aspects out in the song. Chorus after a long time sounded so refreshing. The carnatic interlude added flavor. Seetaramasastry's lyrics depicts a different perspective of his favorite Sun. He relates Sun to many things around and tries to wake us up. They are treat to listen. "poddanaka kuniketi aggi raajuni aadi sande pellam vachi gillindaa, ginta kaanti kallaapini jallindaa" kind of words are possible only for his kind of lyricits.

02 - Arudhaina - Srikrishna

Srikrishna's fantastic rendering makes so listening so soothing. Koti's violins did a lot of magic in this song. Srikrishna and the music goes hand in hand and forms a good combination. He tried his best to bring in the expressions, he is on right path to mature singer and to be more expressive. Song appears too short. Once again Sirivennela steals the show in Lyrics department. "kanuvindu gaa aligindi sreemati". Srimati aligite kanuvindela avutundi? One has to hear the song. Koti's tune is very much in tune with lyrics added by notable contribution by Srikrishna makes the song listen more and more.

03 - Pandugante - Krishna Chaitanya,Chaitra

This song brings in a new definition of various festivals in villages. Krishna Chaitanya and Chaitra performed well and brings in right amount of details of the song.

04 - Hey Yamma - Malavika

This song suprises as it changes gear all of sudden. A different song in this genre movie. A short bit compared to rest of the songs as it runs for 2:04 minutes. Could be a passing song in the movie. Every one involved in this song does their job as required.

05 - Pillalu Bagunnara -Nitya Santoshini

A very heart touching song that is aimed at people who left home village to a far away places for their better livelyhood. A village trying to ask their kids about their welfare once they left the place. Sirivennela excels with his thought ful lyrics. His words isimply are mesmerizing. One has to hear this song just to feel his thought process and his greatness of expressing them thru simple words. Tune and singer just are there to feel their presence.Nitya sontoshini has some problems in few words, The words "Evarra Evayyarraa" could have been done better. However she brings the right emotion of the song.

Pick(s) of the Album: Sooridu, Arudaina, Pillalu Bagunnaara

Sirivennela is the hero of the album. Koti must have done music to this album after lyrics are written.I am sure he might have been moved by the lyrics. Complete telugu album and a different genre of music might. This will be appreciated by telugu lovers and people who has an ear towards this type of genre songs. They are not like the other commercial songs, but will grab many people for few hearings.

If reports of a US based magazine 'Business Insider' are to be believed, AICC chief Sonia Gandhi is the fourth richest politician in the world. As per the reports, her assets worth $2-19 billion, which is about Rs 10,000-45,000 crore.

As per the affidavit filed before the 2009 general elections, Sonia Gandhi has movable assets worth Rs 1.17 crore and immovable assets worth Rs 20 lakhs. Based on these information, Sonia's income can't be more than Rs 60 lakh per annual.

The Business Insider's report, however, indicates Sonia is more corrupt than any other politician in the country. Other names in the list - Saudi Arabia's king Abdullah Bin Abdul Aziz with assets worth $21 billion tops the list. Last in the list is US Senator John Kerry who owns wealth worth $181-$281 million. Another Indian in the list is Savitri Jindal, who stood at the 7th spot with with net worth of $13.2 billion

Crazy director Puri Jagannath has the knack of wrapping up the shooting of big ticket film in relatively less number of working days. He proved that with Mahesh's 'Businessman' and is gearing up to repeat the same magic with 'Cameraman Gangatho Rambabu' starring Powerstar

Pawan Kalyan.

Puri announced the release date of 'Businessman' on the day of Muhurat and it worked wonders for all the people who were associated with the film. He once again followed the same strategy, but this time with Pawan Kalyan's 'Cameraman Gangatho Rambabu'.

"Though I tried several times to team up with Pawan Kalyan garu who gave me life with 'Badri', somehow the plans got delayed due to various reasons. 'Cameraman Gangatho Rambabu' is my 25th film as director and I'm very happy to do this film with Pawan. This the story of a news reporter. It is a different action film, which will have all the elements that fans and audience expect from Pawan Kalyan. The regular shooting would kickstart from May 2nd week and the film will be released worldwide on October 18," said Puri.

Huge expectations were riding on the crazy combo of Pawan-Puri. Let's wish both of them delivers another smashing hit at the Box Office!!!

While shooting for the remake of this blockbuster yesteryear song, Yuga Star Ramcharan got injured and there is a pause in shooting. Now, this is going to cost an extra 1 crore for the makers!

As the 'Racha' team got plenty of time now to revisit their work with Charan's unavailability, many thoughts and ideas are flowing in, say sources. The song was supposedly finished except a few dance moves involving just hero. However, the makers are now going for 'graphics' rain for the entire song and this is going to cost a cool one crore extra. Top notch technicians who have worked for 'Magadheera' are called for, to add CG rain to this prestigious song. Graphical elements like water splashing on the hot body of heroine will come as extra addition now.

Already, cinematographer Sameer Reddy has roped in a Hollywood 'Colorist' to work on the final look and feel of the movie. The overall budget for this song has now shot up to 3 crores and the producers look quite comfortable, as they can extract the money easily with 'Racha' releasing simultaneously in 3 languages. If the film delays further, we don't know what idea will strike these makers and too much cooking will lead to a spoiled dish!

One of the recent bumper hits of Tollywood is 'Businessman' and it has reiterated the stand of prince Mahesh Babu as the reigning superstar of Tollywood. In between, there was also a talk that Mahesh would take the same film to Bollywood and mark his debut to capture the hearts of the Hindi audience.

However, here is the latest update. It is heard that 'Businessman' has been finalized in Hindi and this would be directed by Puri Jagannadh while the eccentric genius Ram Gopal Varma is the producer. As for the lead, it is heard that Abhishek Bachchan would be stepping into the shoes of Mahesh Babu.

Currently, RGV is busy with giving the final touches to his movie 'Department' which is scheduled for a release in May. On the other hand, many are waiting to see who would be taking the place of the saucy seductress Kajal Agarwal as the leading lady for Hindi 'Businessman'.

Big stars and directors generally stand first in giving frank opinions about their team and this puts them in a fix sometimes. Our superstar Mahesh Babu had one such moment recently. Here goes the story!

The other day Superstar Mahesh attended a public function where music director Anoop Rubens was another guest. Though Anoop has never worked for Mahesh, there is a connection between them. Popular production house RR Makers signs deals with technicians and actors for a long term, and striking hot Isha Chawla and music-man Anoop are best examples for this. Both need to do five flicks for RR as per the agreement signed.

However, when Anoop is to start work on RR's 'Dookudu', it is Mahesh who has requested for replacement and roped in Thaman. Anoop was heard a little bit disappointed then, with Superstar not believing in his talent and tunes. Later, Anoop rocked the tinsel town with 'Poola Rangadu' and 'Ishq', and is now coming up with 'Lovely'. Onlookers shared that Mahesh is uncomfortable to exchange looks with the music director for a while and everything is alright after some time. Superstar's choices are always different and you should be different to become a Superstar!

Ever since the time she set foot on this planet, more than half the world and this entire country has been curious to know her name. In between this, atleast a dozen names were given to her without her knowledge. However, she was tagged as Beti B by her family and now she has got a name.

She happens to be the new member of the most powerful celebrity family in India and is the daughter of the celebrity couple Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Bachchan. Now, the update is that Beti B has got a name and she is called as Aaradhya Bachchan. Sources say this name was registered few days back.

Though there was a lot of pressure from the media and other avenues to reveal the name, the Bachchan family has not budged. So far, an official announcement has also not been made regarding the name. But let us hope that Aaradhya Bachchan is indeed the name

This is the hot gossip that is making rounds in film nagar now. Ram Charan's Racha storyline is pretty similar to Allu Arjun's 'Bunny' movie, which itself was a mix of various commercial potboilers. Bunny did well at the box office to complete the hat-trick of hits for Allu Arjun. Raghu Babu's blind comedy and Devi Sri Prasad's songs played vital role in it.

Sampath Nandi's subject is strikingly similar to Bunny as Racha too has a flashback involving hero's father (played by Parthipan) and the hero fights for a social cause (a problem related to Telangana area. In Bunny it was Polavaram Dam issue). Strong buzz is making rounds in film nagar that Racha might end up as average fare at the box office.

Audio hasn't lived up to the expectations and the trailer looks mediocre and cliched. So a lot will depend upon the comedy factor in this movie. Let's see if it has the required fuel in that department before believing in these rumors.

Loads of talent is making her the most sought after actress these days. But, What shocks us is that a lady of heroine material is resorting to motherly roles. Folks, this is Lakshmi Manchu for you.

After proving her acting prowess as evil queen Irendri in 'Anaganaga O Dheerudu', Lakshmi Manchu entered the big league of women actors. However, the curvy siren is taking careful steps in selecting scripts. Currently, the dusky seductress (off course, she has to prove this angle still) is busy with talented filmmaker Mani Ratnam's 'Kadal' and her own production 'Gundello Godari'. Reportedly, the tall lady is said to be portraying the role of Samantha's mother in this Maniratnam flick. Paired alongside action hero and talented Arjun, both the couple are playing a strict middle class parents, say sources.

Generally after watching LP in Ramu's 'Dongala Muta', one expects to see her sizzle in a ravishing role, than an artistic portrayal. But, interesting characterization and magical screenplay by Mani sir made her bend for this movie, it appears. Let us see, how she woes the audience with her 'acting' extravaganza!

If the latest buzz is to be believed, this is going to be a great news for Power Star Pawan Kalyan's fans. As per the reports, 'gabbar singh's' audio release function will be celebrated on a very grand scale on Saturday, 7th April in three cities and they are Hyderabad, Tirupathi and Vizag. If it really comes into reality, definitely, the audio launch of 'gabbar singh' is going to be one of the historical events of tollywood. Currently, Pawan Kalyan's fans are very much excited with this gossip. However, official confirmation from the makers about this news is still awaited.

Currently, the climax episode of the movie is being shot near Mount Opera on Hyderabad- Vijayawada highway. The film unit will leave for abroad on 10th April to shoot balance two songs shoot and subsequently the entire shooting part of the movie will be finished. The film is slated for 9th May release.

With a noble intention to encourage the young and new talents into Tollywood, here are producers of Sanghamitra Arts banners of Pawan Kalyan ‘Panjaa’ fame are set to start three new projects. After filtering nearly 1000 stories, they have finalized three of which the details are as follows:

1. ‘alias janaki’ will be a love story directed by Chandu of ‘10th Class’ fame.
2. ‘A Shyam Gopal Varma Film - Naa Cinema Naa Ishtam’ will be a satirical comedy attack on never to mention the name…RGV to be directed by Rakesh Srinivas.
3. ‘Arere Arere’ is a romantic comedy entertainer to be directed by Sasikiran Tikka, a protégé of Sekhar Kammula.

Films will go on sets in next month and further details will be announced at appropriate hour

Rapport between rajamouli and Ramcharan was at the very best as seen in ‘Magadheera.’ Then on the mutual well wishes between Mega family members and rajamouli continued. On majority of audio releases or movie launches from Mega camp, presence of Jakkanna is almost mandatory. Same was seen at ‘Rachcha’ audio launch wishing Cherry and his team all the very best.

Later on rajamouli gave his final opinion on ‘Rachcha’ audio on Twitter and here it is. ‘I liked Racha title song, cherry cherry and vaana remix. Massy racy numbers. Charan has a winner album on his hand. All d best!!!’ Well, same seems to be the response from public too.
