Expectations are gargantuan but it’s only natural because NTR Jr and Devi Sri Prasad team up for Naa Alludu. Lets discover what’s it likely to be this time.
The album opens up with ‘Andaala Bommaro’ a nice vibrant track. Devi Sri Prasad using new instrumentation quite well, complements the singers perfectly. Venu and Sumangali easily render their way through the song. The track sets the tone for the rest of the soundtrack.
Karthik enters the soundtrack on a strong note with partner, Malathi and Reshmi in ‘Sayya Sayyare’. The song itself is quite a playful number but fails to promise.
Devi Sri Prasad has gone for the tried and tested formula for ‘Kandi Chenu Kada’. However, renditions by Jassie Gift and Kalpana move this song higher up than most would imagine. The track is very disappointing with nothing remarkable in it.
Malathi jump into ‘Muruga Muruga’ with a huge effort! The song is upbeat and modern and yet has an apparent Tamil feel to it. The track is lively lending lots of doldrums to the ears!
To undermine the quality of this soundtrack Devi Sri Prasad continues with gusto, track after track in the same way and feel. ‘Nadumu Choosthe’ fuses Punjabi and Andra tunes to give out a devastating stock. Though Chitra and Tippu accomplish with their vocals, the track just passes futile.
Devi Sri Prasad atlast experiments with some background instrumentation, which makes ‘Pattuko Pattuko’ a winning number! Ranjith and Padmavathi give out top-notch renditions. The difference in the track comes with the variety in music.
The amalgamation of Punjabi and Andra is over. Now its turn for Punjabi and Tamil tunes in ‘Pilla Chooste’. Which gets over other is yet to be found out. There is a pace of urgency and upbeat moments in this song as well as in the vocals of Kuppuswamy, Prasanna and Kalpana.
All the tracks basically juggle with one another in terms of tunefulness. The tracks seem too musty and linear as far as melody is concerned. Overall the soundtrack lacks repeat value. This is not good news Devi Sri Prasad.
