Pokiri
 |
| Mahesh babu in Pokiri |
Producer: Puri Jagannath
Director: Puri Jagannath
Music Director: Mani Sarma
Audio Rights: Aditya Music
Lyrics: Bhaskarabhatla Ravikumar (1, 4, 6), Vishwa (2), Kandikonda (3, 5)
Playback: Naveen & Chorus (1); Ranjith & Suchitra (2); Nihal & Chorus (3); Muralidhar & Suchitra (4); Kunal Gaanjawala (5); Karthik & Mahalakshmi (6)
Rating: 4.0/5
Summary:
Most of the songs catch up among the audience even with the first hearing! The lyrics are not greatly laudable but they do the job anyway. Similar is the case with the playback, and thus is more like a Mani Sarma's show, though the situations clearly stemmed out of the director's taste. The audio is already a hit, and the movie's run can increase its popularity further.

Playback |
Lyric |
Tune/Interlude/BGM |
| dEvuDaa... (noppi noppi gunDe anta noppi...) (Duration: 4:28 minutes) (Rating: 4.0/5) |
| Naveen's voice is fresh and expressive. The "dEvadEva dEvadEva dEvadEvuDaa" bit fits in snugly! |
The lyric seems to mark the realization of love in the male lead. The words and expressions are apt for the hero's characterization suggested by the film's title; certain expressions for love were experimental kind but successful ones at that. |
The tune for the lead line, the dEvadEva... bit, and at least a few other lines are catchy and hummable. The orchestra is fitting and so is the beat. There's nothing to rave about the interludes in particular. |
| DOle DOle... (Duration: 4:39 minutes) (Rating: 4.5/5) |
| Suchitra's husky modulation sounds great in this mass-oriented number. Ranjith joins in to give his adequate support when needed. |
Vishwa uses catchy phrases in this lyric aimed at the masses among the audience. The wordplay and rhyming is appreciable. |
The whole tune is instantly hummable and lingers in the mind long time after listening. The interludes set the mood rightly, and the BGM is set innovatively. |
| galagala paarutunna gOdaarilaa... (Duration: 4:31 minutes) (Rating: 3.25/5) |
| Nihal sounds soft in this sentimental song. His pronunciation is flawed at places. |
The lyric, which talks about flowing tears nearly all the time, seems to indicate that this is a sad song, but the tune masks it out. There seems to be a situational relevance, of course. |
The tune doesn't seem to justify the pathos in the lyric. The orchestra is minimal and does the job appreciably still. |
| ippaTikinkaa naa vayassu... (Duration: 4:35 minutes) (Rating: 4.25/5) |
| Suchitra goes again, fitting to the tee in rendering the song with a mass appeal. Muralidhar has a minimal job as the male counterpart. |
This mass-oriented number is penned by Bhaskarabhatla though, and he does an equally good job with a nice blend of English and Telugu words, naturally sounding rhyme, and without any explicitly vulgar lyrics! |
The beat and the BGM go hand in hand to produce a lingering effect. The tune is quite catchy, though it reminds some other songs in parts. The interludes are active. |
| jagaDamE... (naa kanulanu sooTiga choostE...) (Duration: 4:25 minutes) (Rating: 3.5/5) |
| Kunal's voice modulation appropriately represents the hero's characterization. |
The power in the male lead's character is efficiently established depicted suitably by Kandikonda in this title song. "naa oohaku vaayuvu vEgam, naa choopuku sooryuDi taapam..." forms the gist of the character. The reference to Lord Ganesha is probably backed by the situation. |
The beat and orchestration sounds oft-repeated, reminding of at least a few other previous numbers. The tune is not so catchy but one can possibly get a hang of it after repeated hearing. |
| chooDoddanTunnaa choostUnE unTaa... (Duration: 5:00 minutes) (Rating: 3.5/5) |
| Mahalakshmi croons in a higher pitch which seemed not so comfortable for Karthik. Karthik does a good job nevertheless. |
This is probably the only duet between the hero and heroine in the movie! eduruggaa evarunnaa eda ninDaa nuvvanTa! Everyday Osaarainaa confuse avutunTaa! is an oft-quoted statement in fresh words. |
The beat, the chorus, and the tune are all typical of Mani Sarma. Interludes are adequate, and give a hint to the foot-tapping picturization. The freshness seems compromised a bit though, on the whole. |
