Audio Review - Allari Pidugu
Dikki Dikki Sung by Karthik and Chitra with lyrics by Bhaskarabhatla Ravi Kumar.
'Pilla nuvvochhedaka aagedella' and similarly, 'Cheruvulo chepalakai vetikestondi konga' end with the girl inviting her man. Expressions like 'Dikki dikki' or 'Gudugudugundu' add more to the sound than to the sense. They are used just to create the mood of the fast beat backed with words like 'Kaugili pandakki', 'Premalu kondekke' and 'Teliyandi chadavalandi pusthakam' -- all added for their alliterative effect rather than for any idea, and all ending with 'Duppatlo duralandi'. All the songs are in the same raga and tone. It has a mix of Hindi and English musical idioms and the lyric carries little meaning and less poetry.
Mallelona Illeyarra Sung by Karthik and Sujatha with lyrics by Veturi.
'Neeku naaku kudirindeevela' (the time/day suits us fine), in (age and mind) is a dialogue in the form of a song. This too uses suggestive words like, 'Oka duppatloki chere pilla' (get under the sheets, you girl) and 'Eroju telisindi lo' (Now I know).
Chinuku Laga Sung by Ranjit and Suchitra with lyrics by Kandikonda.
It is a love song almost in the same vein as the above.
Maa Subbalachamma Sung by SP Balu and Sunitha with lyrics by Veturi.
Yet another beauty of a song bound to charm you – an exchange between a couple admiring each other, each alluding to the excellence of the other. The whole song is an exchange of compliments between the boy and the girl. The word play is a tribute to the genius of the lyricist. You would give everything to listen to this song, decidedly the best in the movie, and another one, both sung by Balu. It's no exaggeration that it takes the lion's share of the music in the movie. The orchestration provides a proper setting to the spirit of the song so effectively rendered by Balu. The play of swaras, indeed, is ingenious.
Ongolu Gittharo Sung by SP Balu and Mahalakshmi with lyrics by Jaladanki.
No marks for guessing - it is meant to be a folk song and it certainly makes its mark as one. And the next line 'Sringarama ninnu kateyana' puts us in the romantic mood. 'Mudi vesadu Brahma', 'Madi enduke', 'Ekantam nee sontham' are the other phrases in the lyric, which in their combination sound absolutely poetic.
Nede E Naade Sung by Mallikarjun and Srivardhini with lyrics by Sahithi.
This is the refrain of an old popular film number from the film Bhale Tammudu (1969). 'Karuninche nannu chelikade' is the next line of the verse. To this refrain are added some strange words in western beat. The lines of the verse are fine but the music intervening between the lyric and the instruments is purely western. The text of the lyric is simple and alliterative, and the tune, traditional. However, it is the refrain (pallavi) that takes the credit for beauty of the lyric.
