Doctor (Tamil): Anirudh: Chellamma: Anirudh ensures that the song makes enough attention by dropping in the Tiktok ban and Sivakarthikeyan's colloquial lyrics make it loop worthy despite the hackneyed tune from the composer. The only solace is Jonita Gandhi's refreshing rendition and definitely, Anirudh should utilize other male singers.
Ghibran Spiritual Series: Ghibran: Tandanana Ahi: The bowli Raga based Annamaacharya's son innate beauty gets amplified with Ghibran's stupendous arrangements. This raga is mainly associated with the calm and pious quality but Ghibran gave the dark orchestric sounds in the background with the brilliant violin solos and lush strings. Sowmya Mahadevan is top-notch with her rendition. Till now this is the best one from this series.
Amazon Prime music Hyderabad gig (Telugu): Gopi Sundar: Chilippi Choopu: Chilippi Choopu is a trademark Gopi Sundar track and neat arrangements from the composer remind us of the composer's numerous songs. Though the track is not great, the tune gets relatively better with the Charanam portions and one wishes that someone else could have sung this song.
Uma Mageshwara Ugra Roopasya (Telugu): Bijibal: Aanaandam, Repavalu: Bijibal wonderfully adapted composer's own Mounanagal but churned out totally delectable different song which fits beautifully in Telugu movie with Rehman's lyrics. Gowtham Bharadwaj and especially Soumya Ramakrishnan's classical tinged singing elevates the song further. Bijibal adorns the tune with the lovely assortment of instruments lead by Rajesh Cherthala's flute and Shruthiraj's percussions. Theliveyil comes as Repavalu with slight tweaks in tune as well as arrangements but the sweetness of the tune lingers after the song ends also.
Shakuntala Devi (Hindi): Sachin-Jigar: Pass Nahi Toh Fail Nahi, Rani Hindustani, Jhilmil Piya, Paheli: Sachin-Jigar creates the wonderful short album for Shakuntala Devi and that too with all-female singers which is rare in Bollywood these days. Sunidhi Chauhan easily wins the soundtrack with the retro Rani Hindustani and punchy Pass Nahi Toh Fail Nahi while Monali Thakur sizzles in the jazzy Jhilmil Piya. Paheli is comparatively simple and restrained, however, Shreya aces the song with her saccharine coated voice.
Soorarai Pottru (Tamil): GV Prakash Kumar: Kaattu Payale: Kaattu Payale is an interesting as well as kind of odd tune but it sounds much better with Dhee's rustic vocals as well as Snehan's intriguing choice of words. The lovely tune in En Mundhiyila sorugi Vacha makes listeners to loop this song further.
Yaara (Hindi): Ankit Tiwari: Bhedi: The dark and mystical flow of the tune possibly Revathi Raga definitely gels well with the Rock core base conceived by Ankit Tiwari. Ankit Tiwari and Aishwarya Majmudar singing definitely help the song. Apart from the screeching guitars, the lovely classical twist in the arrangements is a delight.
