Idi Chala Hot Guru!

So Ala Modalaindi is out and everyone is going gaga over it. Nandini has rocked the megaphone, Nani and Nithya are awesome on screen and have amazing chemistry. Total class racha! But when everyone has seen the sweet, cute, funny and charming Nani and becoming crazy fan types, original crazy fan nenu? Mass racha kosam waiting. Confused? After making me swoon, think, laugh, cry with his film, Gautham Vasudev Menon with his associates have gone into full blown production and of the 2 films releasing Veppam is one. The film has Karthik Kumar of Kanda Naal Mudhal fame, Bindu Madhavi in what I call her first full length main lead role in Tamil and..... NANI!!!! Expect cheyaledhu kadhu! But if Nani in Tamil is one shock, partner in crime evaro thelusa? Mana Nithya Menone!

So Boss nenu fix aipoyenu.. Veppam is going to scorch the screens. And with Anjana behind the megaphone.. kachithamga this is going to be an important film. Inkenti.. check it out. Sorry its tamil but difference enti? Nani unnaduga. Ensoi!

Anaganaga Oka Tune...

So with the movie launch going so well, the next step is naturally the music. Just like the creme of the crop has been used for the action, VFX and acting, the music includes work by M.M.Keeravani, Koti, Mickey J Meyer and Salim Sulaimann. Individually each has a trait and appeal that exceeds expectations. Together they are sure to rock.

With one of my upcoming favs, M.M.Keeravani starts with Chandrabose writing the lyrics. Simplicity in tuning and wording, the song is sure to have you tapping your feet with its classic style from the 1960's. Similarity to the Tamil song Paatu Paadava stop as soo as the male vocal Anuj Kurwara begins his charm. He has only a few songs under his belt but is pleasant on the ears with his unique voice. Joining him is Chaitra, a newbie to me but considering until I get used to some voices, I can confuse them, that may be entirely right. Either way, the duo is fresh and lyrics


While some are still "Ainvayi Ainvayi" around tune Band Baaja Baarat, Salim-Sulaiman make their debut in Telugu with Premalekha Rasene. A sweet number that speaks of love and how loved ones take all forms, Chandrabose pens the lyrics once again. Given that the point of view is from a girls perspective, Shreya Ghosal renders the timid, but enchanted by love song with typical elegance. Joining her is one of the duos Salim. I dont kow if it Chandrabose's lyrics or the tuning but there is no hint that the singer was completely new to the language. Some have said the song is styled like Haule Haule but I dont.


Karthik is one singer that infuses a soul to each of his songs and it is amazing how the singer can seem so different even though he has rendered hits like Nizamga Nenena from Kotha Bangar Lokam and Arre Re from Happy Days under Mickey J Meyer before. In another melody based track, Mickey is in his element as usual with Chandamamala. Perhaps the youngest(career-wise) out of the lot, he is no less talented and stand his ground around his peers.


With all the melodies floating around, we now come to a totally different track on the album. Koti has a discography that is quite enviable. He brings out a unique track for the villain in the film, Lakshmi Manchu. As a Geetha Madhuri takes the mike, it took me a while to realise it was her. She has changed her voice pitch before and rendered some interesting tracks but Pralaya takes the cake on robust.


The remaining tracks on the soundtrack include a remix of Premalekha Rasene, Yodha's theme and Tarumukosthundi which has SPB back for another inspirational and strong track by Koti. Unfortunately there are no links to this one so I'm not able to go into much detail but from what I have heard it has the Koti-SPB touch. I dont about you but these 30 promo's are not enough for me! Eagerly waiting for the CD I won to turn up.. :)
