"Super" Audio Review

by V Karthik on Sunday 17 July 2005

...............just absolutely super.

First of all I have taken a voluntary retirement from watching telugu or hindi movies. But that doesn’t stop me from watching Bio-Scope or whatever programs that come across channels ranging from MAA tv, Etv, Teja Tv, etc. So here is where I came across this fabulous, spectacular, and absolutely stylized song of the year (maybe!!). I am talking about none other than Nagarjuna Starrer – ‘Super’ song which features Anuksha Khan running through the fields, beaches, forests and our latest fashion statement icon Nag with the weirdest hairdo in the telugu movies for a long long time, enjoying her moves, relishing each movement of her tantalizing sways and the absolute brilliant camerawork just makes you glue your eyes to the screen. Man was I not spell-bound.


I go to andhravilas and what do I find ? No surprise for guessing – Almost every song is rhythmic, foot-tapping, techno-beat, and a must hear for those hardrock fans. Must I mention that this song ‘ Mila Mila ……..’ holds a special position in the sense it is first telugu song to be featured in MTV, V in their regular quota of latest songs. Sandeep Chowta surely deserves a pat on his back and making every hyderabadi proud ( damn right I am exaggerating …but that’s how it is…).

Here is my analysis of the album:

1. Akkad Bakkad –
It is one of those songs starting whose lyrics everyone is familiar with. Like the way we had ‘ Veeri Veeri Gummadipandu …’ from Jayam. But it is only the charanam that you would be familiar with. The main content is simple. I guess this song must be after one of their robbery ( by the way it is INSPIRED from Doom…’). So all the song is about enjoying every little penny that one has got and also advises you on love, life and etc.

2. Mastana – When you hear this you feel somewhere you have heard this beat but just can’t place it. But don’t worry about thinking it ( if one does remember let me know…). This is a duet song with absolutely meaningless lyrics. Hey just enjoy guys from when did you care about lyrics anyway.


3. Gichi Gichi Mix - I fail to understand why he kept that mix thing. See if there are two songs of same name then we can understand one is a mix and the other is not. But that is not the case. Anyway it is little slower (oh…slow down…not slow enough to stop you from dancing..) and from the preview of the song I can say this is the opening song. (Remember the first song of Doom with Bhachan Jr. and whoever in the room…again it is only INSPIRED from Doom). Song is quite melodious and has a good soothing feel to it. One good thing is because of the tabla, and the urban feel to it one can choreograph the song well if one had to put it on the stage. But everything said and done this is not the song I would want to hear.

4. Mila Mila… – The pick of the album. I bet my damn life and can say without hesitancy this is going to be another ‘Cheliya Cheliya ….cheliya cheliya…alalavadilo eduruchustunnna’ (Gharshana). And please…..don’t worry about the lyrics. There must have been some but you see Chowta doesn’t want us to be talking about them. The way it starts off like a engine on fire blowing the trumpet to the loudest and then slowing down the way it has started to absolute silent music is awesome transition. Worth hearing it any number of times you wish. Definitely the defining movement of the whole album and the hot-cake of the season.

5. ChandraMukhi – This reminds you of the Manmadhudu Cheliya Cheliya song or Donga Donga’s Koncham Neeru ..Koncham Nippu I mean the husky voice, the guitar strumming the constant beats everything adds up to the atmosphere. This is the second best of the album and if I am not mistaken this is also being featured in V channel. The words Chandra Mukhi keep echoing as if it is going to you haunt you for the rest one hour.


6. Muddelenti – Last but not the least but not the worst ( already Gichi Gichi has taken that spot). I guess this is one song you would love to hear and watch it on T.V. just for the heck of seeing Anuksha go wild with her mouth open singing ‘ooohh oh yaaaa ooooh oh yaaa’. This has a blend of rap and techno lyrics which makes it all the more worthful to hear.


Well that sums up my review. There wasn’t any movie/album for a long time I wanted to write a review until this came. And by the way if I have not said it before this movie is only INSPIRED by Doom. And mind you guys Nag said “ This is going to be a biggest hit or it is going to be biggest utter flop of the year”. So watch out for Doom …sorry….Super.

This is a review I have written long, long ago. I still the remember the way I wrote. Putting the loud speakers at full volume, listening to each song, pausing a while writing the review then playing it. And it went on.It took me 2 and a half hours to write it within which I heard the whole album twice. I was so pepped up after writing it and immediately posted it on erstwhile website www.vasavionline.co.nr. The comments were instanteneous and it was much appreciated. The one that struck me the most was by Adi who said "Awesome review...not yet a fan but going to be..."-this from the great man himself. Added to that once in college SwamiNaidu, NewAger aka Ms.Talkative on a passing note told me that many of their friends were talking about this review. I felt absolutely euphoric that day but had my control infront of them. From then on no matter what article I wrote I always read this and compare to see if I have improved and I guess the next one that I think has bettered would be my "Nostalgia Calling-I".

The first sweet success always would remain immemorable so it is with that feeling I am reproducing as it is without any modifactions/additions to have that pristine, original feeling. I hope all you readers would enjoy reading it and would deeply appreciate your comments.

For some corrections, the lady that runs and snakes through the woods would be Ayesha Takia not Anukhsha. 'Dhoom' is misspelt as 'Doom'. The song "Mastana..." has the touch of "Na Tho raa...tamashalalo telusta..." from "Ninne Pelladutha".

Finally, please do give at least one hearing to "Mila...Mila..." song and I promise that won't be the last time you hear it.
