in lead roles, the Nagesh Naradasi directorial Desa Dimmari features five songs on its OST that are composed by Subhash Anand. The album begins with He Paisa. Penned by P Chandra Rao and crooned by ASV Subhakar (Tanish), the song’s horribly flat vocals and equally horrific music were jarring and grating on the ears. Please give this one a cold, hard miss.

Ye Dil Ko Kya Huwa He featuring P Chandra Rao’s lyrics and Sony and Subhash Anand’s vocals makes things considerably better. Except, the numbers features both Hindi and Telugu lyrics and the transition is far from seamless. Sony’s vocals and the music from the bygone era are the only things that made this one a little bearable. But by the time Subhash Anand’s vocals kick in, you know you’ve had enough.

Aanandame Haddulni with Ramarao Matumuru’s lyrics and Ritesh Rao and Dasari Aishwarya’s vocals aims to be a peppy, upbeat number, complete with auto-tuned vocals and EDM music. But does it achieve what it sets out to do? No.However, out of the three numbers on this album so far, this is the most bearable one. But even in this one Subhash Anand’s jarring music is a disappointment.

Yevaro Neevu Yevaro Nenu with P Chandra Rao’s lyrics and Ivaturi Harini and Sai Madhav’s vocals is the essential, soft romantic number on this album. Unlike its predecessors, this one had the music, melody and vocals in sync. While there’s nothing extraordinary that sets this one apart from any other romantic Tollywood numbers, the lyrics however, were a letdown.

Ending the album on a peppy note is Aggi Rajukundi, which yet again sees lyricist P Chandra Rao trying and failing to merge Hindi and Telugu lyrics in abid to create something unique. Spoorthi and Akshay Singh’s vocals and Subhash Anand’s god-awful music don’t do much to help this tripe number either.

The album of Desa Dimmari suffers from lack of not just good lyrics, but also affective music. Almost all the numbers in this album end up sounding jarring; offering nothing unique at all. It is only Yevaro Neevu Yevaro Nenu that seems remotely good for a one-time listen, mostly due to its soft tone. Give this album a miss this weekend.
