Song : Dheera Dheera
Movie Name : Magadheera
Singer : Keeravani, Nikitha Nigam
Music Director : Keeravani
Most audio reviews that I read for the movie have not been kind to the music. The biggest reason being the remix of Bangaru Kodi Petta. This song escaped attention in almost all of the reviews I had read. While I liked the song during my first couple of listens, after I saw it in the movie, I got hooked to it. I think the weakest link in this song are the two singers. You know your performance is not up to the mark when Keeravani is the better of the two singers. Nikitha's voice seems to lack two things - nativity and strength. Keeravani's voice has both and while it is technically good, its just not a pleasant voice to hear, esp due the nasal touch. Despite this, the tune has all qualities of a winner. It is amazing how Keeravani can still keep up with the young music directors and deliver songs like this that are completely within his style. My favourite part is the second stanza
Shashimukhi tho Simhame janta kadithe maname gaa
Kusumamu tho Khadgame aadagaa
With this song, he absolves himself off the weak remix and his generous use of "O Saaya" in the background of the movie.
