Rating ��� 3.5
Music Review: The album gets off to an upbeat start with title track Jyothi Lakshmi sung by Uma Neha. The track impresses with its lyrics and instrumentation giving off a pure ���mas��� vibe. This is followed by the brilliance of Ninuchudanga; Hemachandra���s virtuosic vocal skill stealing the show in this groovy track that features a lot of carnatic hooks. Chusindhi Chalugaani is a slow, brooding and sensual song featuring Latin and salsa grooves with Sravana Bhargavi���s voice proving to be a perfect fit for the song. This is followed by Vodhodhu sung by Venu and Pranavi is mid-tempo song. The song has some really catchy lyrics especially during the chorus. Kanti Paape has a dark theme throughout flowing through the song using contemporary sounds, and is sung by Lipsika. Sravana Bhargavi returns with Chetiki Gaajulu; a racy track that features a lot of heavy electric guitar work, giving off a hard rock vibe to the song. Sravana excels yet again with her voice syncing well with the heavy style of the song. The album ends with yet another mass number in Raja Raja sung by the amazing Uma Neha, and is sure to set to audiences dancing with her raspy vocals and mass beats. On the whole, the album excels with a variety of genres being showcased making it engaging.
