Bommali

Song: Bommali
Movie Name : Billa
Singers : Hemachandra, Malavika
Music Director : Mani Sharma

 Congratulations to Hemachandra for landing yet another catchy number. Mani Sharma, may your tribe increase! This is the kind of songs that Mani Sharma got popular for, initially and he shows why in this peppy tune.  The soul of the song is the chords in the background for "Bommali..." and "Yaadundi taali ?" Mani Sharma gets credit for one and Hemachandra gets it for his pronunciation on the second one.

Dochey

Song: Dochey
Movie Name : Komaram Puli
Singers : Shreya Ghoshal, Lady Kash n Krissy
Music Director : A R Rehman


  First of all, Shreya Ghoshal -Wow! Secondly, Lady Kash n Krissy add a fantastic touch to this song. Coming to Rehman, this is not going to be among his best compositions by any means but I love how he has tackled this song, and added some interesting layers on it. Take for instance, this masterstroke towards the ending of the charanam - 
"Sudigundamoyi...jalagandamoyi...
Palu aapadale aapesinaa...
Aa aasalatho"
and a smile escapes your lips as you hear the echo for "Aa aasalatho". I think the genius of Rehman is that he has created a market, where songs like this will be appreciated and not just treated as fillers in an album.

Gaalamesi

Song: Gaalamesi
Movie Name : Pravarakhyudu
Singers : Ranjith, Bhargavi Pillai
Music Director : MM Keeravani


  I have heard this song multiple times and thought it was a really neat song, but did not get to write about it. To say, Keeravani is an awesome composer, is like saying <insert obvious statement here>. It is always interesting to see how Keeravani keeps with the fellow composers, while keeping his style of music. This song has a lazy feel to it, which is amazing, when it climaxes with lines like 
"Bangaaranni kaaladanni pingani ne korukunna tingara danni choodavayyo! "
If you dont love this song immediately, pay attention to the lyrics the next time, and notice how hilarious it is when the style of the song blends with the lyrics.
