Mani Sharma scores again

Music: Mani Sharma;
Singers: Shankar Mahadevan, S.P. Charan, Mano, Kartick, Ganga, Swarnalatha, Sujatha and Mahalaxmi.

After musical hits like "Aadi" and "Allari Ramudu", ace composer Mani Sharma teams up with reigning film star NTR Jr to produce a mass-centric album for the Telugu film "Samba".

The album opens with fast-paced "Dam Dama Re...Samba" sung by Shankar Mahadevan, targeted at NTR Jr's fan following in particular.

The S.P. Charan-Ganga duet "Thagilinadidabba..." is again a foot-tapping number. This is followed by "Kitha Kithalu", rendered by Mano and Swarnalatha to a very catchy tune.

The real chartbuster, however, is "Nandamuri Chandama" by S.P. Charan and Sujatha. "Laksembar Lux sundari..." sung by Kartick and Mahalaxmi is easy on the ears.

The final Tipni-Chitra number "Namaste Namaste..." is targeted at the masses even more than the other contents of the album.
