01. One Boy

Vocalists:- Revanth LV
Lyricist:- Bhaskarabhatla
Rating:- 3.5/5

First song is a break up song that highlights a typical theme with the same routine situation as backdrop. Bhaskarabhatla makes sure that his words are sonorous to the contemporary generation as well as creates a perfect balance b/w getting a meaning to his song using Tenglish words. Though it's quite odd to listen to the first stanza , it gets better as the song proceeds. Gopi is a great composer . His music has no match, whether it's charlie, CIA, ustaad hotel in malayalam or Geeta Govindam, Malli malli idi rani roju etc in Telugu showcased his talent, so there's nothing left for him to prove now, yet makes sure his music isn't creepy. He has done 100% justice to the tune.

Revanth as usually aces through the song. His voice has all the magic. His rendition is brilliant, kudos & happy that he's getting chances to sing.

02. Priyathama Priyathama

Vocalists:- Chinmayi Sripada
Lyricist:- Chaitanya Prasad
Rating:- 4/5

Here comes a haunting melody in Sundars' template. What a beautiful tune it is!!  Gopi knew very well how to crack all the nuts with his ingenious brilliance. Whole orchestration is neatly woven with mellifluous violins,flutes & couple of romantic beats which make it a perfect love ballad. Chaitanyas' lyrics play a pivotal role in enhancing the songs'flavor. Though at places words were irrelevant they didn't spoil it's essence. Chinmayi's voice as usually had that nasal husky base which elevates the mood of the song, she's a perfect suit for the song. Her rendition is extraordinary, her lilting & slight sensous way of rendition gives the song a boost. Overall it's a praiseworthy & well made song.

03. Naa Gundello

Vocalists:- Yazin Nazir & Nikitha Gandhi
Lyricist:- Rambabu Gosala
Rating:- 3/5

A Youthful melody in Sundars'signature tune again. As usually the orchestration is melodious, singing is hi-fi & lyrics are contemporary. Lyrics sound somewhat disappointing yet okay. Vocals aren't upto the mark, always Yazin disappoints with his typical foreign dialect. When it's Telugu, words should sound Telugu only to give it a native touch , but Yazin though having a great voice cannot manage to score marks with his poor accent. Nikita too suffers with the same problem. Yet song isn't creepy . Gopi's tuning overlooks all the flaws.

04. Yedettu Mallelu

Vocalists:- Kaala Bhairava & Nikitha Gandhi
Lyricist:- Shiva Nirvana
Rating:- 4/5

This song is a beautiful melody with love failure as the backdrop. Gopi's music is haunting, it sounds somewhat like Ilayaraajaa's or ARR's song with soothing orchestration& brilliant chord progression . It's nice to know that director is a good lyricist too. All the phrases had a folk ting with mellow octaves supporting the flow. Nikitha Gandhi gets her second song!! Her voice is angelic but couldn't make her presence pellucid with her typical Telugu accent. Kaala Bhairava once again proves why he has been chosen for the repeated genre again & again, because he sounds like pro here, he's the highlight of the song. However song is too short, it not even lasts for 3 minutes.

05. Mayya Mayya

Vocalists: Anurag Kulkarni

Lyricist: Bhaskarabhatla

Rating: 3/5

Third one opens to a melodious surprise yet it's a banging title song with the routine stuff yet with Gopi's template. Nothing more to speak, music is peppy & neat. Anurag is awesome. Lyrics are irresolute. In what context did Bhaskarabhatla use the word 'mayya', is it calling someone(mama)? or is it about the magic? If not for that, this is one more from Gopi, but is'nt that great.Overall a neat song, did'nt work for me, may be requires lot of loops.

06. Ye Manishiki Ye Majilio

Vocalists: Arun Gopan, Chinamyi Sripada & Baby Anusha

Lyricists: Vanamali

Rating: 3/5

A situatational! Gopi's tune is great, but did'nt synch with the lyrics. Vanamali tried to write something, but ended up writing something. However instrumentation is absolutely brilliant, those beats continuously banging & lovely interludes make up the tune. Coming to vocals, Anusha did her best along with lovely Chinmayi. Arun too was great but had lot of issues in dialect & rendition. Overall, a passable song.
