VV Vinayak is well distinguished for his astounding directorial ventures where music plays an integral part. In his latest offering ‘Yogi’ starring Prabhas, he has succeeded to bring in Ramana Gogula to compose the soundtrack. The album includes six tracks out of which three are mass numbers while other two are melody oriented. Tough it is expected that the soundtrack is sure to mesmerize the crowd but sadly it does not live up to expectations.

The first track to come up is ‘Dolu Baja Paatallo’ a folksy song. Shankar Mahadevan renders on a very high scale. It has a jovial ambience. The interlude is stuffed with good measure of drumbeats and interludes. But music director is cautious not to make the music too piercing so that the lyrics don’t get subdued.

The title track ‘Orori Yogi’ rendered by Karthik and Bangalore Sunitha features next. It has good measure of mass appeal and will be appreciated by cinemagoers. This song is also goaded with heavy drum thumps to spark it up.

Follows ‘Ye Nomu Nochindo’ a melodious track rendered by Suresh in a deep heartfelt voice. This is a slow paced song toppled with instruments like veena, flute and drums. It sounds more like a lullaby.

‘Gilli Gichi’ is a fast, peppy number. Rajesh and Ganga lend their voices here. This one has a very contemporary feel stirred in with the use of guitar and drum beats and an English crooning in between further impart a modern appeal. This track is sure to impress both class and the mass.

‘Nee illu bangaram gaanu’ has very vintage feel to it. Notes from the keyboard accompany small beats. This track concludes with the music from bagpiper. Tippu and Sunitha render the song.

Lastly emerges ‘Gana Gana Gana’ a fast duet between Adnan Sami and Sudha. But it is an utter disappointment. Other than guitar and drumbeats there is use of no other instruments. This is again old fashion styled.  

In general this is a modest effort on the musicians part. In spite of having so many high-quality singers, the soundtrack leaves its listeners dissatisfied.
