Bhagyam Poddunna

Song : Bhagyam Poddunna
Movie Name : Vennela (2005)
Singer : Funky, Sudeep, Saindhavi
Music Director : Mahesh Shankar

I heard this song a few days ago and thought "Hmm..Interesting..". I heard this again today and got totally hooked in. Its a good funky song as is the rest of the album. Vennela has a very fresh feel to it, as a film and I am really looking forward to seeing this movie. I was initially afraid that it would be a very "confused" album, and I should say that, it was my initial and to some extent, is my current opinion of this album. But, hey freshness in songs always catches my attention. By the way, Mahesh Shankar is the same guy of Flavours fame and I think he has been extremely consistent so far. Who is this Saindhavi ? Usha's voice twin ?? (Thats a huge compliment by my standards) My other pick(s) from this album:

"Chestara Love"

Thaka thaka thaiyya

Song : Thaka Thaka Thaiyya
Movie Name : Evadi Gola Vadide (2005)
Singer : Karthik and Usha
Music Director : Kamalakar

The song has been sung by two of my favourite singers. Usha and Karthik have the ability to put the life back in any song and they are certainly here to stay, should they choose to do so. Kamalakar has been a consistent performer so far, although EVV's movies certainly dont help anyone that much. I do hope he gets noticed and belts out some more melodious tunes. I like the charanam in this song much more than the pallavi. Usha is the winner of this competition :)
