Music Review: Run Raja Run (Telugu)

Composer(s): M. Ghibran
Listen to the songs online here: Gaana

Bujjimma Bujjimma is very much evocative of Ghibran's Teddy Bear (Naiyaandi) in its arrangements, yet it sails through easily thanks to Gold Devaraj's enthusiastic rendition. Coma Coma's techno soundscape too can be easily attributable to the composer but is run-of-the-mill. Rajadhi Rajanappa rides on a fantastic retro-styled orchestration and singer Thomas Andrews has a field day singing the wacky tune. Shanthi Om Shanthi has to be the most effervescent techno-pop material in recent times, and with its inclusion of veena and dubstep elements, the song gets pitch-perfect vocal support from Clinton Cerejo and Maya Iyer. Chinmayi is at her best once again in the melodious and brilliantly orchestrated Vadhantune Nenu Vadhantune. Especially that humming in the background is mind-blowing. Although he falls short of the high expectations he has set for himself, Ghibran makes a pucca commercial debut in Telugu with Run Raja Run!
