Varudu Audio Review

Aarya 2 Audio Review

The much-awaited Aarya 2 is releasing in a couple of days. The combination of Aarya is back in Allu Arjun-DSP-Sukumar. Obviously expectations are high. Let's see how the album turned out.

01 - Mr. Perfect
Singers : Baba Sehgal, Rita, Devi Sri Prasad
Lyrics : Kedar
Rap : Devi Sri Prasad
What a start to the album! The introduction music is very catchy and you probably hear a lot of ring tones based on the intro. Baba Sehgal does a great job and lyrics are perfect. The rap done by Devi Sri Prasad is interesting. It has good musical interludes and tune for dance so we have to see how it is picturised in the movie. Definite chartbuster.
Rating: 3.5/5

02 - Uppenantha
Singers : K.K.
Lyrics : Balaji
This song comes under the same genre as "Feel My Love" from Aarya. The introduction music in again good. KK does a good job again especially in the high pitch regions. The interludes are well composed. The lyrics are suitable for the song. It might not have the lasting appeal that "Feel My Love" had but it still a good song.
Rating: 3/5

03 - Baby He Loves You
Singers : Devi Sri Prasad
Lyrics : Chandrabose
The starting of the song is interesting with a conversion and then the song. Devi Sri Prasad's voice suited the mood of the song. The lyrics by Chandrabose are the highlight for this song, and make it interesting. We have heard tune before but the rendition by Devi Sri Prasad and the lyrics give a lively feel. Another good number.
Rating: 3/5

04 - Ringa Ringa
Singers : Priya Hemesh
Lyrics : Chandrabose
This is the Aarya 2 version of "Aa Ante Amalapuram". Even the song is actually quite repetitive with "Ringa Ringa" every few lines, it is still very catchy and will make a good dance number. The beat is good with heavy drum usage. Let's see how this song is picturised, but it is going to a popular number.
Rating: 3/5

05 - Karige Loga
Singers : Kunal Ganjawala, Megha
Lyrics : Vanamali
This is the first duet in the album. It doesn't quite stike the same chord as the other songs in the first listening but you like it after repeated listing. Kunal Ganjawala is okay, but another singer may have been better. Megha voice in refreshing. The lyrics are also pretty good. But somehow the song lack a bit of energy somewhere. Not bad.
Rating: 2.75/5

06 - My Love Is Gone
Singers : Ranjith
Lyrics : Chandrabose
This is a techno number. The introduction music is good in typical techno style. It is a perfect dance number, and hopefully we will see some good moves from Bunny. The start of the first interlude has a tune that sounds a techno version of "Edo Priyaragam" from Aarya, it is good that they have at least one reference to the original movie. Ranjith injects a lot of energy into the song and the lyrics are also good but dominated by the music.
Rating: 3.25/5

07 - Karige Loga (D-Plugged)
Singers : Sagar
Lyrics : Vanamali
This is softer version of the earlier song. The lyrics are heard clearly in this version and Sagar is pretty good in this one. The strumming of the guitar gives a good feel to the song. It is probably a sad version of the earlier one. I liked this version better than the earlier one because the orchestration is more attractive. Pretty good.
Rating: 3/5

08 - Mr. Perfect (DSP Mix)
Singers : DSP
Lyrics : Kedar
Another DSP Mix. We had one for King and Jalsa and now for Aarya 2. It is in typical DSP style and you can just imagine him dancing and singing this. The mixing is pretty good like his earlier remixes. The use of the beat is pretty good again. He doesn't deviate too much from the original song which is good because it keeps the original flavour of the song.
Rating: 3/5

Overall Rating: 3.1/5 (Good)

Last Words:
No doubt this is a chartbusting album. Almost all the songs are good in the first listening and the rest are good in repeated listening. Devi Sri Prasad scores another music hit with this one. It will definitely help the openings for the movie. Let's see how the film turns out on the 27th November. While I'm hear I might as well tell you that it has been censored and got a U/A certificate. It runs for about 2 hours and 35 minutes.

My Picks: Mr.Perfect, My Love is Gone

Aarya 2 Trailer

Allu Arjun's Performance at Southscope Awards

Allu Arjun performed a tribute to Michael Jackson at the Southscope Sylish Awards on Sunday night. Here is the video.

Arya 2 Leakage Details

The wallpapers leaked onto some sites a couple of days ago were actually fake ones. The fake wallpapers had the tagline "My Love is Gone". Actually, the tagline is "Baby, he loves you". The Logo is actually the same as the one used for the first Arya but with a 2 in the front. An official statement from the producer Aditya Babu was given saying that the stills and logo published a few days ago were made by someone else and were not official.

Arya 2 stills and logo

Arya 2 has been creating a lot of buzz ever since it was launched. A few months ago some of the songs from the movie were leaked onto the internet. Now, a couple of stills of the movie with the logo design have been leaked. The film has the tagline "My Love is Gone". The film's music is composed by Devi Sri Prasad and is likely to be released next week. Click here for the leaked stills at IdleBrain.

Arya 2 Details

The title is confirmed as Arya 2, there were rumours that it would be called something else. The film stars Allu Arjun as Arya, Kajal, Navdeep and Shraddha Das in other roles. It is directed by Sukumar who directed the original Arya back in 2004. The music is also composed by Devi Sri Prasad. The music for the movie will be released in the next couple of weeks and the film is likely to release for Dussera or maybe in October sometime.

Allu Arjun is Varudu

The last few months we have been called the untitled Trivikram/Mahesh Babu flick Varudu. But infact that title has been snatched by Gunasekhar for the movie he is directing with Allu Arjun. The movie is underway now and has music composed by Mani Sharma.

Meanwhile, the Trivikram/Mahesh combo is likely to be titled Kaleja.

More than one movie at once

The stars of Tollywood are now taking a different approach to their careers and are doing more than one movie at a time. In the past, top heroes were only doing one film per year and this was really hurting Tollywood especially if those films were unsuccessful. Doing more than one film at a time not only increases the number of big releases in a calendar year but also gives stars the chance to be more successful. For example, if one film is unsuccessful they can bounce back right away with another film within the same year. Allari Naresh has been doing this for the last few years, although most of his films are average or below average, since he does so many films he is branded as a successful hero.

Currently heroes that are doing or have signed onto more than one film are:

• Prabhas: He is doing Puri Jagannath's Ek Niranjan and Karunakaran's film simultaneously.
• Venkatesh: He is doing Eenadu with Kamal Haasan, and Srinu Vaitla's Namo Venkatesha.
• Balakrishna: He has signed onto three films, Bheeshma directed by Ramesh Verma of Ride fame, Boyapati Srinu's film and another film is in the pipeline.
• Mahesh: He is currently doing Trivikram's Varudu, but has signed onto Goutham Menon's film which is said to start in August.
• Ravi Teja: He always signs onto his next film before his present film is released. He has Anjaneyulu lined up, and has signed a project with Krishna Vamsi and has a few others in the pipeline.
• NTR: He is currently doing VV Vinayak's film, but he has signed onto Dil Raju's Brindavanam directed by Vamsi Paidipalli (Of Munna), Nalamalapu Bujji's MLA, and is also going to do Meher Ramesh's next film produced by Aswini Dutt.
• Allu Arjun: He has Arya 2 lined up for release, and has signed on Krish's Vedham and Gunasekhar's next film which he will do simultaneuosly. He also might have VV Vinayak's next film after these two.

So it seems that a lot of our stars have their hands full of films for a while.

A Real Multistarrer!

About a year back I wrote about a rumoured multistarrer with Mahesh and NTR (yeah right!). But this year there is an actual multistarrer under production called Vedham. You must have heard of it by now. It is directed by the now-famous Krish of Gamyam. It stars Allu Arjun, Manoj and Anushka in important roles and also has two more important characters. The music is said to be composed by MM Keeravani.

I think this is a really good move by Krish to get an actual multistarrer in Telugu. Hopefully it becomes a hit and we start getting a lot more multistarrers in Telugu.

Most Awaited Films of 2009

Films to look forward to this year:

• Konchem Istam Konchem Kastam - Siddharth, Tamanna (Already released)
• Magadheera - Ram Charan Teja
• Billa - Prabhas
• Komaram Pulli - Pawan Kalyan
• Arya 2 - Allu Arjun
• Oye - Siddharth

• Kick - Ravi Teja, Ileana
• Boni - Sumanth
• Naga Chaitanya first film

And many, many more.
