"Aranya" is a Telugu language upcoming film shot simultaneously in Tamil as "Kaadan" & Hindi as "Haathi Mere Saathi" by Prabhu Solomon on an amazing concept of saving the wildlife especially related to the conservation of  "Elephants". The director actually wants to bring the issue of "abusing elephants" into limelight & he successfully made through it.

Conservation of extinction of wildlife & forest is really a contemporary issue that is troubling the man kind & don't to you all think that such issues need a lot of importance & they have to be discussed & debated on to earn a solution or at least to bring in a safety measure to make a little impact for the least. Earth is not a one man's treasure, it belongs to every one who has got a birth right, including the flora & fauna. Earth has got a lot of resources, treasures, wealth, esteem, valuables etc. but that didn't mean anyone can misuse it or take an anti-advantage of everything that is granted!! We, youngsters especially have to take this problem seriously, it is the responsibility of every living being to safeguard their surroundings & environment, to let the future generations flourish! The life shouldn't come to an end just like that, we all are solely responsible in bringing back the lost aura, the deteriorating climate, the extinction of wildlife. 

We need actors like Rana Daggubati who had the guts to bring in such raw concept to the limelight!! Kuddos to the entire team for making such great film! We have the character of Unnikrishnan (Elephant) playing a very vital role in this film & waiting for his performance.

All the music is composed by the absolute talent "Shantanu Moitra" . I still remember his brilliant score for the film "Partineetha"  with gems like "Raat Hamari Toh" sung by legendary Chitraji, it is still my bedtime melody!! I was really excited to see his name on the inlay card & was more delighted listening to the songs!! There are actually 3 songs in the film, each one having different stories to tell & let's go in!! Vanamali & Chandrabose get their share. Vanamali has done some finest works in the film & also he gets to pen the dialouges in the film too!

Haricharan Seshadri, one more virtuoso singer who has got a gifted voice has done his solo card for this film. He gets to sing all the songs in this film in Tamil & Telugu too, which is really a sparse feat for the contemporary kind of compositions, it was somewhere in 90's & 80's where we had singers like SPB, Janaki & Chitra who got to sing all the songs in one film & from 95's literally, such an act slowly vanished & now getting to see a singer singing all the songs in one film is something entrancing. Ok, now lets' directly jump into the album.

01. Chitike 'Se' Aa Chirugaali

Lyricist: Vanamali

Rating: 4/5

These songs can really sound outdated to all the synchronic music goers but they cannot be any better, this is how they should sound, this is how they should be written & sung! First song is like an introduction to the film's plot, this song is a celebration of 'Wildlife, forests, flora & fauna'! It tells this was our world before civilization & no one has got any patent to alter its inventiveness, the song really has so much to tell about the lead character (Rana) too. Song says the "cool breeze that is around is snapping its fingers, the peacocks are dancing & cuckoos are singing & there was a man who enjoyed all of them as they are & let all of them stay like that". Vanamali has written some great poetry that is really nice to hear & Haricharan sings it with much more effort that makes the song sound mellifluous!! Overall all the departments hands in hands leave us in a reverie!! 

02. Vellu Vellu

Lyricist: Vanamali

Rating: 4/5

Shantanu Moitra is really a boon for this film, his score is really captivating & I think these songs will have a greater impact when watched with visuals & Am sure they'll make some history. The thumping Tabla beats & percussions will really hoist our moods!! Now one can easily understand why Haricharan got to sing these songs, he makes us all realize that these songs don't need singers who give a powerhouse performance, but they can also sound melodious & with crystal clear tonal quality! I could'nt understand the backdrop of this song, but I can feel the intensity & emotion of the backdrop! Vanamali is back for sure, his works will be remembered, like told before this work is one of the finest ever!! But the saddest part is we don't have enough viewers that reach these sorts of songs, that is really painful, we have millions of views to those cringe songs with no meaning at all, but these songs....Pity!! I think these songs don't deserve audience like us!!

03. Hrudayame

Lyricist: Chandrabose

Rating: 4.5/5

There is really no meaning when I didn't appreciate this sort of music! Once again this song too is a celebration of nature & life. It is more like a Bhajan but depicting the nature's principles, there is a heartfelt divinity within the song, it has a lot of depth & connotation. May be the rhythm pattern is damn slow, but they cannot be any better!! These songs are a combination of some feel good music, vocals & brilliant lyrics! Talking about the tune, this appears like that "Sai Bhajan" sung by Bela Shende & composed by A. R. Rahman for his new venture "99 songs", but it is ok, inspiration can be anything. Overall it is blissful experience listening to this song. Chandra Bose & Haricharan make us cry with their dedication.

Picks Of The Album: Everything- It is a 'MASTERPIECE'

OVERALL RATING: 8.5/10

Remarks: Go, watch the great picture in your nearest theaters on April 2, 2021!!
