| After two consecutive super hits, Puri Jagannath is back with Bujjugadu starring Prabhas in the lead, along with Mohanbabu and Trisha. Sandeep Chowta, who started his musical career in Telugu with the blockbuster Ninne Pelladatha, is the composer for Bujjigadu. He certainly seemed to have understood the lyrics immediately, although the average listener will take more time. He delivered superhit music for Super (another Puri Jagan movie), although the movie itself fared badly. Bujjigadus music might not be everyones cup of tea, but there is some amount of Chowta freshness factor in it and the music grows on you as you keep listening. Talaiva This is really fast paced number, one of those songs that you to listen to a hundred times before you get the lyrics, and even then youre not sure what it exactly means. Otherwise you dont care. So its in that catagory where only half the song makes sense. It is fusion with rustic drum beats dominating the number. Mark Lazaro (Phenom band frontman) and Anaida (Hindi pop singer) add their unique touch to the already quirky playback. Comes strictly under the catagory of Telugu rock and those who have a taste for it will love it. 3.5/5  Sudu Sude Chowta himself lends his voice to this number, with Shruti Patak giving him company. A slower, softer and a more mellow number than its predecessor. It has very few lines actually, written by Bhaskarabhatla again. The instrumental and the tone holds center stage. You know those beats Mustafa Mustafa begins with (which itself was a clever inspiration), ditto for Sudu Sude. 3/5 Chitti Aayire With a noisy background, mainly drums, this Hindi-Telugu song has Pradeep Somasundaran and Sonu Kakkar (of Babuji Zara Dheere Chalo) fame. There is also a rap interlude, and some mischievous and some suggestive lines by Bhaskarabhatla. The playback used in all the numbers, apart from Chowta himself, is relatively new to Telugu music. Apart from that, the song itself offers nothing novel.2.75/5 Love Me With the beats lifted from an international number or two, Chowta at the playback does something strange with his voice and makes it all nasal. It sounds amusing, but not good. Nikita Nigam accompanies him, sounding perfectly normal herself. It is a nice number, and an equally nice copy. Not inspiration, just straightforward lifts. But so was Maha from Mantra, that didnt stop it from topping the charts. This might not top charts, but will be regarded as one of the better numbers in the compilation. 2.75/5 Guchchi Guchchi Shruti Patak again, with Chowta (?) in this song-that-sounds -like-a-remix. Kandikondas lyrics include Hindu wedding mantras. Its hard to believe its a wedding song, as its way too modern and gusty. Then again, its Chowta, isnt it? So there you have it, one more Gucchi Gucchi in his portfolio (after Super). 3/5 Dhadak Dhadak Sandeep Chowta and Nikita Nigam render this song, another slow and suave number, obviously fusion-Telugu, Hindi and English all fused together. Still, hummable enough and could be called a nice enough end to an album that doesnt fail to catch your interest at least a few times. 3/5 | ||
