Dubbed Telugu films continue to make a mark in Kollywood. Be it "Udamba Eppadi Irukku" from Dr. Rajashekhar [Their version of the Sarath Kumar release, "NamNaadu"] and the latest Trivikram release, "Nandu"[Athadu], this next one is also a dubbed film and it's got the common factor of Trisha and Telugu Superstar, Mahesh Babu [Last seen in dubbed latter.] This one hails from the Telugu disaster of last year, SAINIKUDU. Aside from that, the film boasts of creative numbers from Kollywood's happening maestro, Harris Jayaraj. After Bheema, Jayaraj dubs his Telugu chartbusters into Tamil witht the help of Viveka Snegan, Paruthi and Na. Muthukumar [KIREEDOM fame]
Tippu and wife Harini give it their best with "Oru Banaram." Originally sung by Indian Idol 2 Runner-up, N.C Karunya, one wished that the latter could've re-sung the popular chartbuster in the Tamil version. Nevertheless, Tippu manages to emulate Karunya while Harini supports aptly. Malathi also joins in with a viliage tone during the song. The song is somewhat inspired from the popular A.R Rahman hit, "Chaiyya" from "Dil Se."
Newcomer: Senthil Dass joins in with "Go Go". A phenomenon in Telugu, one wonders if did justice to the Tamil dub as well. Supposidly, it's the title track. You're the judge for this one!
The other numbers: "Nizhal Endrum" and "Byla Baylamo" are good mass numbers that would give people a run for their money, or better yet, an encore.
Sadly, Anuradha Sriram falters with "Sorgathil". The Telugu version was apparently a big hit next to "Banaram" but as far as the Tamil dub goes, it's more or less an average track.The last one "Pombala" by Anu Sriram and Karthik is a good duet number. Should also be a chartbuster as well.
Overall, Jayaraj does a decent job in dubbing the tracks from the Telugu film. One wishes that him or the associates had recycled his singers from the original into this album. It is what Mahesh Babu [who has marketed the Tamil dub] should've thought of before dubbing the songs into Tamil. Nevertheless, enjoy "Oru Banaram", "Pombala" and "Go Go" while the others are time-pass. Unfortunately, the film bombed badly last December and it's uncertain how it's fairing in Tamil Nadu. Still, the album's worth a hear.
