Kirrak Party Songs - Music Review

Ramesh S Kannan

Kirrak Party is an upcoming romantic comedy film directed by Sharan Koppisetty with Nikhil Siddharth and Simran Pareenja as the lead actors. The movie is a remake of Kannada’s successful film Kirik Party. Ajaneesh Loknath who scored the original, composes for the Telugu film also. Let’s check whether the composer has given fresh tunes for the Telugu Version or tweaked the original blockbuster soundtrack itself.

Dum Dare:

Dum Dare's Happy days vibe is difficult to snub off, However AjaneeshLoknath's punchy percussions and Vanamali's easily relatable lyrics make this one a nostalgic listen from the composer. There is a beautiful Sax solo in the second interlude and the consistent claps in the background accompanied by buoyant guitar riffs make this one easily works in Haricharan's cakewalk rendition. The song's farewell version is also an equally engrossing listen from the composer devoid of any punchy percussion elements in it.

Sir Bewarse: ✔

ThirbokiJeevana in Kannada version which was released as the single music video for the movie, skyrocketed the buzz around the movie. ShashankSheshagiri croons the song replacing the composer itself in the original. The song is absolutely enjoyable in Telugu version also especially with the retro funky swag mix in the prelude and the top-notch chorus which works like a charm.

Guruvaram: ✔

Belageddu comes as Guruvaram and Vijay Prakash ace the lovely beautiful tune effortlessly and the songs gain immensely from the chorus once again. The underlying latino percussions and the violin solos are definitely the highlight of this melody. The Ala la le part which went viral in Kannada is sure to stay top among the Telugu audiences also.

Meera’s Theme:

Kannada composer's ThoonguManchadalli is reused as Meera's Theme by Ajaneesh and the serene composition with minimal instruments in the background makes this one a delight to listen which is supported by SameeraBharadwaj's earnest rendition.

Neechamaina: 

Neechamaina is sure to bring back memories of Premam along with the visuals, However, Ajaneesh's composition is so fresh and the haunting string score is enough to make the listeners fall in love with this song. Vasishta N and Simha easily sail through the song with their grungy rendition.

Last Bench:

Last Bench is another short lovely song which is sure to connect easily to the college gangs, the percussions, harmonium and the guitar riffs is an absolute fun to listen. DaangDakka hook along with ShashankSheshagiri, ChintanVikas and Varun's vocals makes this one works.

Neelo Ninnu: ✔

Ajaneesh Loknath tweaked the original song in Neelo Ninnu and gave the prelude more the classical tinge replacing the punchy version in Kannada. The original versions work much better and coherent compared to this version. However, Shreya Ghoshal makes this one easy to buy and the first interlude with strings and drums is an absolute stunner from the composer.

Pranamantha: ✔

The Original version's best song Kaagadada Doniyalli comes as Pranamantha crooned by Kaala Bhairava and the song is a gem from the composer. The background arrangements are lovely with the strings sections, trumpet and the chorus along with the lead singer's vocals evoking the pain of the protagonist effectually.

Verdict:

 Ajaneesh Loknath debuts as a composer in Tollywood with the remake of his best commercial album till date and the tracks easily fit in Telugu. One wishes that the talented young composer could have added original songs to the album instead of going for complete reuse of the original tunes.

Rating: 3.75/5
