Padi Padi Leche Manasu Songs - Music Review

Ramesh Kannan

Padi Padi Leche Manasu is an upcoming romantic drama film directed by Hanu Raghavapudi of Andala Raaksahi fame with Sharwananad and Sai Pallavi in the lead. Hanu Raghavapudi's movies always had an engaging set of music and he joins with Vishal Chandrashekar second time after Krishna Gaadi Veera Prema Gaadha. Let's  check out whether Vishal able to recreate his magic again with this film or not.

Padi Padi Leche Manasu:✔ The title song starts with the prominent humming by Armaan Malik and followed by the immersive melody, dominated by Kraven Stratfile's guitar strums. Sindhuri Vishalably delivered the tune while the composer brilliantly blended Punya Srinivasa's Veena and Deepak Srinivas's Carnatic guitar. The tune reaches a crescendo with the title hook along with the live drums and composer wonderfully employed the catchy title hook throughout the song.

Kallolam: Kallolam is another guitar-laden track which works remarkably with Anurag Kulkarni's splendid rendition. Composer utilized the chorus Prapachame loop effectively and conceived the free-flowing tune beautifully. Krishnakanth's lyrics especially, with the lines Kalisenduku Tondara ledule captures the outline of the script perfectly.

Hrudhyam Jaripe:✔ Vishal churns out another punchy rock base song Hrudhayam  Jaripe where the fusion of Classical elements and Kraven's guitar work effortlessly. Yazin Nizar steals the show with his pitch-perfect rendition and the singer's improvisation especially, in the title hook are a delight to hear while Punya Srinivas's veena deserves special mention in elevating the mood of the song with the minute-long showstopper piece towards the end.

Emai Poyave: Sid Sriram who is regular in the Telugu albums this year especially after his stupendous success in Geetha Govindham croons the melancholy Emai Poyave. The tune blends well with the singer's vocals and he aces with his nuanced rendition while Vishal fills the arrangements with the lush electronic sounds throughout the track.

Oh My Lovely Lalana:✔ Vishal Chandrashekar delivers another cracker of a song to his better half Sindhuri Vishal and the composer magically recreates the Karur Shivaramiah's Oh my lovely lalana. The result is a scintillating one especially with Karaharapriya as the base and Sindhuri Vishal doing her magic behind the mic makes this one an engaging listen in the album.
 

Urike Cheli Chilaka: Vishal Chandrashekar ends the brilliant album with the folksy Urike Cheli Chilaka and the song rides mainly on the Rahul Sipligunj and MM Manasi's stupendous rendition. Though the track can be visualized as the dance track, composer's nifty elements, especially with the synth sounds for the folk tune and the chorus portions make this one an enjoyable track.

Bottomline: Vishal Chandrashekar delivers a stunning album in his fourth Telugu outing and composer weaves a wonderful set of melodies.

My Rating: 3.75/5
