The complete audio of Ala Vaikunthapuramlo is finally out in the open. Composed by the in-form Thaman, let’s now see how this album turns out to be.
Song 1: OMG Daddy
Analysis: The first song of Ala Vaikunthapuramlo is OMG Daddy and has some engaging singing filled in it. Thaman keeps the tune and beat simple and lets the lyrics and singing take center stage. Roll Rida’s rap makes this song quite effective. The song has a trendy beat and has been shot in a very stylish manner and will click once the stylish visuals will impress the audience.
Song 2: Samajavaragamana
Analysis: The second song in the album is the already blockbuster number Samajavaragamana. The moment you start listening to this song, you instantly fall in love with it. After a long time, here is a song that hits you with its tune, lyrics, and composition. Thaman is in his elements and his fusion of western touch to this classic song is just superb. Seetarama Sastry’s lyrics are the best in recent times and are quite soulful and the icing on the cake is Sid Sriram’s magical voice which takes this song to another level.
Song 3: Butta Bomma
Analysis: The third song in the album is Butta Bomma, a stylish slow number which has been crooned by Armaan Mallik. The song has a special charm and Armaan Mallik makes it super special with his charming singing. The beat is Indian as Thaman has kept it simple and the tune takes over with the special lyrics by Ram Jogayya Sastry being a special bonus. This song too is an instant charmer and you will surely groove to it more once you see the super stylish visuals.
Song 4: Ala Vaikunthapuramlo
Analysis: The fourth song in the album is the title number sung by Priya sisters and Krishna Chaitanya. The song starts on a very traditional note and Priya sisters take it to another level by giving the song an old school touch. But once the main part comes, Thaman gives it a stylish touch with chorus crooning the title hookup line in a special manner. The tune is perfect and looks like it will be used a lot as the BGM in the film at regular intervals.
Song 5: Ramulo Ramula
Analysis: Finally, the last song and another crazy hit is Ramuloo Ramulaa. The song is instantly hummable and foot-tapping and lives up to the expectations. Ramuloo Ramulaa is sung by happening young playback singer Anurag Kulkarni and TV star Mangli. Penned by lyricist Kasarla Shyam, the song has a folk touch, with Thaman’s peppy composition and beats. We can expect some cool moves from Bunny, Pooja and others in this number.
Verdict:-
There is no denying the fact that the music album of Ala Vaikunthapuramlo is the best in recent times. Thaman is in the form of his life and churns out a blockbuster album that everyone looks forward from a big film. Every song is special and has its own charm. Very rarely does it happen that all the songs of an album click in a big way and Ala Vaikunthapuramlo is one example. The songs have taken the film’s buzz to another level and Thaman needs to be especially credited for doing a terrific job.

Ram Charan’s action entertainer Yevadu, has been in the waiting from quite a very long time. The wait is finally over as the film has hit the screens during the lucrative festive season. Directed by Vamsi Paidipally, this movie has Allu Arjun and Kajal Agarwal in guest roles. Let’s see whether Yevadu is all the worth this wait.
Story:-
Satya(Allu Arjun) and Deepthi(Kajal Agarwal) are lovers who decide to get married. Their love is opposed by an evil Veeru Bhai(Rahul Dev) who also falls for Deepthi. On the other hand, Ram alias Charan(Ram Charan) starts killing everyone from Veeru Bhai’s gang.
When all this is happening, yet another gangster from Hyderabad, Dharma(Sai Kumar) is after Charan’s life. Who is Charan? Why is he killing everyone from Veery bhai’s gang? Why is Dharma after Charan? For all these questions, you need to watch the film on big screen.
Plus Points:-
The movie is completely Ram Charan centric. Vamsi Paidipally has successfully manged to showcase Charan as a powerful angry young man. Charan takes this film to another level with his mature performance. His dances are to die for especially in the Freedom song.
Allu Arjun and Kajal’s cameos are breathtaking, and have been conceived wonderfully. First ten minutes and interval bang is very intense and entertaining. Sai Kumar does an awesome job as the bad guy. He looks menacing and once again proves what an stunning actor he is.
Story idea is unique and the way it has been executed is also decent. Some thrills and action episodes, especially the rain fight has been shot extremely well. Amy Jackson provides the necessary glamour quotient in the first half.
Minus Points:-
After an interesting first fifteen minutes, the film becomes highly predictable. When compared to the second half, the first half is slightly on the slower side.
All the scenes and events showcased remind us of many Telugu films. The film only becomes good vs evil and turns monotonous. After an tit for tat revenge drama, climax becomes cliched and routine.
Shruthi Haasan looks beautiful, but has limited screen time and comes in only for the songs. Too much violence might not go well with the family audience. Kota and Brahmanandam are wasted with tiny roles in the film.
Technical Aspects:-
Vamsi Paidipally’s films have always been high on technical values. Even Yevadu is no less, as it has been shot lavishly. Devi Sri Prasad’s music is just about ok, but its his background score which elevates the film to another level.
Camerawork is stunning as the entire film is shot beautifully. Visual effects are top class and look natural. Screenplay of the film is good but a number of scenes could have been chopped off.
Dialogues are powerful and suit Charan’s body language well. Editing is apt and so is the art direction. Choreography is top class and proves Ram Charan’s dancing talent once again. Fights have been composed well and director Vamsi Paidipally has succeeded in elevating Ram Charan in a powerful role.
Verdict:
One the whole, Yevadu is all about Ram Charan’s electrifying performance. Though this film has many routine scenes, you can still give it a shot this festive season.
