Prabhas is returning with his latest Bujjigaadu after last year’s Munna and as can be expected the expectations are sky high for this projecting considering Mohan Babu and Trisha too are a part of it. The music of the movie by Sandeep Chowta is out and expectedly I grabbed my copy and here is my take on it. Prabhas’ last movie Munna had a great track in it titled Manasa and this is a song you have to listen even if Telugu is Greek and Latin to you. It’s a great track and has tons of replay value, but mind you the lyrics are simply awesome in this track, but never mind even if you don’t understand Telugu you will still find yourself grooving to this great track. A look at my Last.fm profile will reveal it’s the most scrobbled track on the list! For more information on Last.fm you can read my blog entry here. Coming to the music of Bujjigaadu the album kicks off with Talaiva (which means big boss in Tamil) by Mark Lazaro and Anaida, not a surprise since the movie is set in Chennai with the tagline Made In Chennai. It’s a descriptive song about a big boss, and inviting the big boss to come and takeover, a typical mass song and nothing spectacular about it except that it has a fair bit of Tamil thrown in.
The next track is Sudu Sude by Sandeep Chowta and Shruti Patak and this song has strains of previous Chowta work in the initial musical arrangement. This is a slow number with soft musical strains and pleasing on the ears. Lyrics however leave a lot to be desired again. What’s with our lyricists? Nothing poetic about the music today. Throw in a bit of English, Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, etc. and you are done. The song itself has got booming bass and good percussion all over, a rhythmic and foot tapping number.
Chitti Aayire by Pradeep Somasundaran and Sonu Kakkar is up next, again with a Tamil title, but then quickly moves to Hindi, Telugu and even a bit of English. This however is a groovy track and will make one dance and groove to it rhythms. The tempo and the rhythm never let up and are maintained throughout. Definitely will be played again just for its groove and rhythm. A fast paced number.
Love Me by Sandeep Chowta and Nikita Nigam is next and starts with a mid tempo riff on the guitar and some unintelligible lyrics by Chowta. Never understand or agree with the music directors singing on the songs themselves. Singing is better left to the professional singers. I mean what would happen if the singers started becoming music directors? The song did not make much sense to me since the lyrics were bad and even unintelligible in places, but the music does have a groove to it. It is not very fast paced, but still rhythmic and not as much replay as Chitti Aayire, but still good in parts.
Next on the list is Guchchi Guchchi by Shruti Patak is a mass song with a good rhythmic beat, but the lyrics are typical mass with no real rhyme or reason to them. Still the chorus holds steady in this song and adds to it, definitely foot tapping. The male singer is not credited on this one!
To wind up Dhadak Dhadak by Sandeep Chowta and Nikita Nigam starts off with Enigma like chants but then moves over to traditional music with lots of percussion and rhythm thrown in. The lyrics are Hinglish and Telugu thrown in so obviously don’t make much sense. Music too is not very catchy on this one.
Final thoughts, not a chart topping album for Prabhas this time around. Fans will lap it up and the movie doing well should push the sales for this one, but not an album you will be adding to your personal collection or an album with high replay value. As of now you would do better to go with the music of Parugu and Jalsa.
