Dhammu Music Review

Right now eagerly waiting for one of the most awaiting movies of the summer…Dhammu…starring NTR in a massy role so long after simhadri. Simha’s director Boyapati seenu directing this flick is like adding  fuel to the fire…and Maverick music director Keeravani garu scoring the music triples the celebrations…So just like an appetizer before the main course, Let me share some thoughts about the music of Dhammu which is already an instantaneous hit….

ఓ లిల్లి...బూర బుగ్గల బుల్లి....( O lilli...boora buggala bulli....)

Album starts with this simple but energetic number….. sung by Baba Seghal. His voice is so clear in Telugu this time, you might think one of our Telugu singer has sung it. Chandrabose lyrics are most simple ones with no much sparks…Heard that this is teasing song pictured on NTR and Trisha…But  who knows, with few listens’ you might go “crazy..crazy …crazy..crazy” about this number

రూలర్.....!! (Ruler)

And now let’s tune into the best of best song of the album…High voltage with high octane….and sure this one will raise your hairs very first time you go with this song. And believably, song is sung by 4 singers. It starts with a Stanza(sung by Prithvichandra) praising NTR. “anga vanga ..Kerala ..kalinga.. gowda..kuntala.. vidarba..magadha ..simhala..” and so on and finally claiming the hero as greatest ruler among all the kings..”prachanda chanda maartaanda teja”..”Akanda mandalananda boja”

But the real sweetness of the song is seen, when Geeta Madhuri hums..”Raajadi Raajadi Raaja”. From there Singer Revanth and Sahithi picks up the song with some epic lyrics….”Keratamai urukutunna churuku neede..” “kadanamai dumukutunna duduku neede” “Sikharame sirasu vanchu Keerthi neede” “Gaganame melika tirugu merupu neede” …This song tells the theme of the movie and has set the right expectations on the movie…Rumours are on about Ruler song, that NTR will don different attires in the song and Alexander is one of them!!

రాజు వచ్చినాడో....చిన రాజు వచ్చినాడో(raaju vacchinaaDO....china raaju vacchinaaDO)

Another beautiful situational song…Villagers sings this song welcoming their prince…And now this song is sung by MMKeeravani garu himself…and we know he picks the very right one to sing. Chandrabose pen “chamaks” while writing these lines… “Mee hrudayalalo Simhasanamu..Mee abhimaaname mani Kiritamu…Mee aasisule naa aishwaryamu…” ..”Meerantha naa balamai ..naa balagamai undaga, Santoshamaney saamraajyaaniki Raajadi raaju nenegaa”…And this song sings huge list of royal ancestors of that family!!...Chandrabose pulls in the lines from Simhadri ..”Sree Sree Raja Vasireddy..nuvvu whistlestey Andhra soda buddy”….He claims that these lines actually depict the energy of NTR….

వాస్తు బాగుందే..బేబి వాస్తు బాగుందే..కాస్తకాస్తకాస్తకాస్త దోస్తు కమ్మందే(vaastu baagundE..bEbi vaastu baagundE..kaastakaastakaastakaasta dOstu kammandE)

And now time for the item Song…so we have not 1, not 2, not 3..but shockingly 4 beauties dancing with NTR…In addition to Trisha and Kartheeka, the 2 bombshells Rachana Mourya and Mariyam Zakaria(diyyalo diyyalo fame) shake legs with NTR. So Chandrabose has written song comparing 4 babies with 4 directions “uttaram oopu meedunde..Dakshinam danchi kottinde..Toorupu tukku repined..padamara pakka vesi paiki paiki rammande”. Had sufficient energy to be a good item and picturization should be interesting…with high dose of glamour…By the way Keeravani tweets..Vaastu baagunde is his personal favorite in this album..!!

నీలో ఉంది దమ్ము...నాలో ఉంది సొమ్ము...( neelO undi dammu...naalO undi sommu...)

Finally time for Title song…surprisingly NTR has to show his “Dhammu” not with the villains..but he shows his Dhammu in romance with our hot trisha…and sexy Radha’s daughter Kartheeka (Sorry I can’t add adjective “sexy” before Kartheeka..). Chandrabose sir has gone overboard with high dose of massy lyrics..so beware of listening this song at your home…He uses this words..”Use chesuko..Vaadesuko” from Dhookudu..Elders at home might even stop you to go the film..But in other way funny lyrics…can be enjoyed at dance floor…Rahul, Shivani and Sravana Baargavi have sung this song in equally enthusiastic style…

 రూలర్.....!! (Ruler)…CD Version and Romantic Version

Wait..Wait…somehow we miss that melody, the core ingredient of Keeravani’s work..and he offers that in this romantic CD version of Ruler song ..

”Gulaabi pooladanda dandayaatra chesukona..chalaki paduchu kotaa paina…., Phirangi prema taaki pongi poi longi lonaa..varinchi khaidu nenu kaana..” Romance overflows from Chandrabose’s pen and the sweetness is “honey”fied by the voices of MM Keeravani and Geetha Madhuri.. I wish they don’t leave this song but they picture it onto the screen…at least at rolling titles…I will just stand there till the end of titles to witness this beautiful version of ruler..!!

So that’s the music of Dhammu…A story of Ruler. Keeravani garu a true legend ..who still could make such a massy album liked by the music lovers, beating the tough competition of young musicians…..

MM Keeravani and NTR’s combo always paid at box-office. And Lets wish Dhammu from the Simha director will yet again enthrall the masses…
