Rendu Kallu
Singer : Armaan Malik

The first song in the album is a sweet sounding romantic melody that rides on a beautiful combination of flute and violin renditions supported by flawless humming from talented singer Armaan Malik. The lyrics are neat and complement the mood of the song perfectly. This number is an surely an earworm that will top the charts in the coming days.
Mahanabhavudu
Singer : Geetha Madhuri, MM Manasi
Lyrics : Krishna Kanth
Next in the loop is the the title track Mahanabhavudu which has westernised tune with a tinge of classical touch. No matter if you are a fan of the scorching peppy numbers sung by Geetha Madhuri throughout her career, she will equally hypnotize with her mellowed vocals in this song. She gets ample support from Manasi. The effective use of veena strums and the violin strings deliver yet another appealing number in the album. The lyrics are penned in a way that the female lead goes wax lyrical about the protagonist’s impeccable qualities
Kiss Me Baby
Singer : SS Thaman, Manisha
Lyrics : Krishna Kanth
Moving further, we come across a groovy party song sung by Thaman himself who is supported by Manisha. The lyrics define the hero’s yearn for first kiss from his lady love, but with few reservations. The tune is quite peppy with the usage of electrical guitar to a great effect.
My Love is Back
Singer : Rahul Nambiar
Lyrics : Krishna Kanth
For the fourth number in the album, Thaman ropes in Rahul Nambiar who joyfully sings this song with endearing vocals. The tune composed with guitar riffs is hard to miss and the crescendo is a value addition to this song. The lyrics are very evocative and bring in a celebratory mood to the song.
Bhamalu Bhamalu
Singer : Nakash Aziz
Lyrics : Bhaskarbatla
The penultimate song in the album is a satire on woman. The mocking lyrics that ridicule woman’s capricious attitude towards men will surely play to the gallery and so does Thaman’s funky tune. Singer Nakash Aziz does complete justice to the song with his energetic vocals. The lyrics are amusing and will easily appeal to younger generation audience.
Eppudaina
Singer : Shweta Pandit
Lyrics : Seetharama Sastry
The final song is a haunting melody which benefits largely from the soothing vocals of Shweta Pandit who relishes it thoroughly till the end. The lyrics penned by Seetharama Sastry need a special mention as they have a lot of depth in terms of meaning. The evocative tune that Thaman articulates in his regular style is impressive and adds to the overall appeal.
Verdict : For Mahanabhavudu, SS Thaman has come out with flying colours with brilliant rendition that makes this easily one of the best albums in his career so far. His tunes are very refreshing and foot tapping. The lyricists and singers have rendered substantial support with their work. Rendu Kallu , Mahanabhavudu and Eppudaina will have instant impact. The remaining songs will appeal on repeated hearings. All in all, the album is a blend of different genres of music.
