Shakthi Audio Review

Touted to be the highest budgeted film of Tollywood, NTR’s Shakti has created a huge hype among the audience. Being directed by Meher Ramesh and produced by Ashwini Dutt
in Vyjayanti Movies banner, the audio was launched on a grand scale amidst of hundreds of Nandamuri fans. The film-makers used the services of Mani Sharma, yet again after their earlier musical hit Kantri. Chack out NTR, Ileana’s Shakti audio review…


01. Thaliya Thaliya — 3/5


Artists:Ranjith


Lyrics: Rama Jogayya Sastry


Mani Sharma has started the album with this powerful mass solo number. However, the beat in the song recalls Mani’s earlier numbers.One can imagine the number to be a hero’s introduction which talks about his nature and attitude. The track is a foot-tapping number which gives much scope for NTR’s dance sequences. Guys get ready to watch it on big-screens.


02. Prema Desam — 3.25/5


Artists:Hemachandra, Saindhavi


Lyrics: Rama Jogayya Sastry


Prema Desam yuvarani is a slow-paced melodious number which sets romantic environment. Rama jogayya Sastry has maintained the literary values and has penned the lyrics completely in Telugu words, without mixing any other language words. A good number…


03. Mathileka Pichiga — 2.5/5


Artists: Ranjith, Chinmayee


Lyrics: Jonnavithula


This number is fast-paced duet with a striking instrumental beat. Ranjitha and Chinamayee’s vocal added much peppiness to this western beat. The song could be enjoyed by class audiences. Give a listen.


04. Maharudra Shakti — 2.25/5


Artists: Ranjith, Muralidhar, Rita, Saindhavi, Hemachandra, Malavika


Lyrics: Jonnavithula


The takeoff of the song gives a divine feel and comes with a power. This number is penned as praise on Lord Shiva and the Shakthi Petas, which has a thematic importance. The beat, and the tempo, change suitably as the track proceeds. The interludes are rich in orchestra. However, the track is catchy only in the first couple of lines.


05. Surro Surra — 3.5/5


Artists:Javed Ali, Suchitra


Lyrics: Rama Jogayya Sastry


Surro Surra is a typical beat song and can be listened for the sounds used by Mani Sharma. The English lyrics in first few lines add more pep to this already peppy number. Listen to it and you would love to press the repeat button.


06. Yamaga Unde — 2.25/5


Artists:Karunya, Malavika


Lyrics: Rama Jogayya Sastry


Here comes another fantastic beat number from Mani Sharma which suits the taste of mass. On hearing to the drumbeats and the guitar music, you will remember few Mani Sharma’s earlier numbers. Karunya and Malavika’s vocals are just like the animated rendition to the track. Regular mass number


07. Mahishasura Mardhini — 3.25/5


Artists:Sri Vardhini, Sharath


Mahishasura Mardini is a remarkable devotional stotra of Goddess Durga. This stotra has been changing its tune for every next generation and Mani Sharma’s tune for this number is ultimate and outstanding. On listening to this song you will surely go into a spiritual feel. Srivardhini vocal for this song is very much apt and Sharath’s tone blends smoothly along with Srivardhini’s vocal. Worth listening!


On a whole, Mani Sharma has scored decent tunes for Shakti by not letting down the hopes of Nandamuri fans completely. But Shakti is nowhere comparable to the trio’s (NTR, Mani Sharma, Meher Ramesh) earlier musical hit Kantri.
