Audio Review Who would
have thought that a story as simple as an infuriated don
going to medical school to become a doctor would click
big time with movie lovers? Who would have guessed that
such a movie directed by a new comer would go on to
winning the National Award for the best movie providing
wholesome entertainment? Who would have imagined that
the same movie would be remade in almost all the popular
South Indian languages with best of the heroes? That's
Munnabhai MBBS for you. Bole to, sahi hain
baap!
Gemini
Film Circuit, after producing the Tamil version of
Munnabhai - Vasoolraja MBBS [Kamal Hassan, Sneha,
Prabhu], now bring us the Telugu version titled
Shankardada MBBS starring Megastar
Chiranjeevi, Sonali Bendre, Srikanth, Paresh Rawal
and others under the direction of Jayanth C
Paranji. Though Shankardada is a remake, I am
looking forward to it because it's been a while we saw
Chiranjeevi entertain us in a comedy film. Though the
minuscule success rate of a Telugu film remade from a
hit Hindi film bothers me a little, heck, who cares?
Bole to, fillum jhakaas to apun
bindaas!
DsriP,
who has now positioned himself firmly as one of the top
music directors in Telugu with three hit albums
Varsham, Venki and Arya this year, scores
music for the first time for a Chiranjeevi starrer.
Munnabhai barely had any hit tunes and when DsriP
was roped in to score music for Shankardada, I
wondered how much of a difference [musically] he would
bring in to this movie that has little scope for music.
Speculations aside, DsriP composes pucca mass tunes in
this album that are probably in tune with the way the
movie is presented. But does he succeed? Poochta
kaiko?Aage padh na!
1.
Chaila Chaila This is one number in this album that you
start humming in the very first try. Inspite of its
typical DsriP like orchestration and beats
[especially the o maaya o maaya part] this one is
a chartbuster. While KK sings it both with vigor
and poise we also get to hear Chiru mouthing some
dialogues that are sprinkled all over the song. Lyrics
by DsriP sound like a faithful translation of the
Hindi equivalent [Apun jaise tapori] of this song
that is sung to cheer up a guy who falls and fails in
love.
2. Naa
pere kanchanamala If you liked
Malathi in
Silakemo [Venki], Aa ante
amalapuram [Arya] and the recent Gootlo
Undi [Sye], then you might like this one too.
Though this number lacks the tempo of Aa ante Amalapuram
and has old beats, it is nonetheless catchy. While
Malathi infuses the much needed oomph to this number
with a fervent rendition; Karthik, surprisingly,
barely makes his presence felt and is totally
overshadowed by Malathi. Veturi pens this
one.
3.
Pattu pattu
Manikya Vinayagam, who sang Maro
Maro [Venki], is the male singer here singing
the number in an enthused flow and I doubt if the female
voice is that of Sumangali 'coz it sounds more
like that of Mathangi's. Nonetheless, both the singers
do justice to what was expected from them. However, the
beats in this song remind you so much of
Kannepilla song [Thottigang] and DsriP's
other songs. Though this song lacks freshness, this one
scores and might catch up after the movie releases.
Sahithi pens this one.
4.
Shankardada MBBS So this is a solo number ala M Bole
to in Munnabhai. But nothing much to write
about it except that a couple of beats here and there
are tugged in to excite Chiru's fans. Just for the
record, this is a re-hashed version of DsriP's Tamil
song Guntalakidi from a Tamil film Ice,
which is a remake of Kalusukovalani. The only
saving grace of this song is a good rendition by
Mano. Chandrabose's lyrics are decent.
5.
Ye
Jilla If it was not for
Adnan Sami crying
ahem crooning this song, this one might have been better
than what it actually turned out to be. On the contrary,
Kalpana sounds good. Racy yes, pulsating
orchestration yes, but lacks the zing to make us cling
to it. Chandrabose's lyrics come with his
inimitable stamp comprising of newly coined words like
himsachalam, siggapur, pakkalapalli amongst
others.
Overall, this
is a complete mass album with no melodies. Though the
songs are catchy, that is only after you listen to them
repeatedly, the beats in the songs have a prominent
'heard before' feel to them. Also, they sound like they
might have a better impact when seen on screen. Bole
to, fillum dekhne ka aur pata lagaane ka!
Kya?
Mass songs
become popular instantly especially when they come from
a top music director and when composed for a top hero.
But for them to transition from being popular to
perennial they have to take pride in offering something
that strikes the right chord with us. Sadly, the songs
in this album, though catchy, don't actually offer that.
DsriP might not have disappointed Chiru's fans with this
album but much more was expected out of his first
musical score for a Megastar movie. Bole to, bakwaas
nahi par kuch khaas bhi nahi.
