Mega Power Star Ram Charan is
back in action to pack a punch, and this time in dual roles with the
upcoming pongal release Naayak. The film's soundtrack has been composed
by SS Thaman. For the Thaman scored for a Ram Charan-VV Vinayak starrer.
Naayak album has five original tracks and a remix. Here is Naayak music
review on way2movies… Take a look
1. Laila o Lailaa --- 4/5
Singers: Shankar Mahadevan, Ranjith, Rahul, Naveen
Lyrics : Chandra Bose
Laila O Laila is pub song and Ram
Charan’s introduction track which is full of energy and manages to charm
the listener with its groovy beats. The song’s beats remembers you of
80’s clubs songs. Shankar Mahadevan is as amazing as ever and his vocals
are strong and full of energy, which complements well with the music
composition and Chandra Bose rhythmic lyrics have lot of Hindi words.
2. Kathi Lanti Pilla – 3.5/5
Singers: Thaman, Shefali Alvaris
Lyrics: Chandra Bose
The song is packed with good rap bits
making it a peppy dancing number. The song is addictive, thanks to
Thaman as he croons ‘Madam’ at regular intervals that keeps you hooked.
Chandrabose penned lyrics were okay. Both Thaman and Shefali Alvaris
provide us with passionate vocals and they can be deemed as flawless.
3. Subhalekha Rasukunna -- 3/5
Singers: Haricharan, Shreya Ghoshal
Lyrics: Veturi
The superhit remix track Subhalekha
Rasukunna is here but it falls short of expectations. While Shreya
Goshal sings this song very melodiously, the male singer Haricharan
fails to impress. He could not match SP Balasubramanyam who sang the
original. The remix version doesn’t appeal much if the original was your
favorite track. Let’s wait if the visuals are attractive…
4. Oka Choopuke Padipoya – 3.25/5
Singers: Vijay Prakash, Bindhu Mahima
Lyrics: Bhaskara Bhatla
Next up is a romantic duet Oka Chopuke
Padipoya crooned by Vijay Prakash, Bindu Mahima. The singers have
adopted a very subtle and restrained style of singing for the number and
that works in its favour. Bhaskar Bhatla provides us with some warm
lyrics. It has a very soft and beautiful composition that would be
appeal more with visuals.
5. Nellorae -- 3.75/5
Singers: Jaspreet Jasz, Suchitra
Lyrics: Sahiti
Nellorae is a mass song of the album
sung brilliantly by Suchitra by ample support from Jaspreet Jazz. It is
an instantly likeable song. The beats are very interesting that makes
the listeners hit the dance floors. Looks like Thaman has composed this
to make the front benchers blow whistles. Sahiti penned massy lyrics
strikes right chord with target listeners.
6. Hey Naayak – 3.5/5
Singer: Shreya Ghoshal
Lyrics: Chandra Bose
Hey Naayak is a bang with the
energy-packed title track that is rendered by Shreya Ghoshal. The song
will be liked instantly. Shreya Goshal has made a good amount of effort
into this song in order to ensure that it appeals with the masses. The
song has all the ingredients of being a chartbuster with engaging beats
in its tempo.
Final Verdict
Overall, Thaman has come up with a mass
album that has a good scope for dances. Since Ram Charan’s dances in
promos looked dashing, we can expect good visuals on-screens and the
right placement of songs will make Naayak album stay longer with the
listeners. The soundtrack does provide us with some catchy tunes that
you may find appealing to listen to though it may not match the huge
expectations.
