Haage Summane - Audio
Zee Motion Pictures | Dharma Pictures Productions
Producers : T C Murali Mohan, Pramod N, Santosh
Direction : Preetam Gubbi
Music : Mano Murthy
Lyrics : Jayant Kaikini
Dont be surprised if you feel you are listening to some 1970s OP Nayyar songs! [Trademark of Mano Murthy??]
Sonu as usual renders the songs well. He impresses in the title track Haage Summane and Odi Bandenu. In Odi Bandenu his singing surely will remind you of Rafi!!!
Shreya is used in two numbers - a simple duet with Udit Narayan which is Naanenu Nambodilla and in female version of Odi Bandenu and she rocks in the second one.
Haadonave is a passable number. Nothing much to say about Kunal and Sunidhi's crooning.
Oorella Koogi rendered by Keshav Prasad and Supriya Ramakrishnayya is a nice song with soothing music. The usage of musical instruments reminds of old hindi songs.
Title song and Odi Bandenu will mostly stand out as popular numbers. Or else its a bit disappointing fare!

Maadesha - Shivanna's next!! - Audio
Ravi Srivatsa is back after the debacle of 'Ee Rajeev Gandhi Alla" .... Maadesha and this time he his back with the best he can get - Shivraj Kumar and Mano Murthy.
"Tirugo Ee Bhoomige" sung by Vijay Prakash with lyrics by V Nagendra Prasad and Kaviraj starts off with tune of James Bond theme. The song expresses the heroic acts of the prime character in the movie. Not much in lyrics and very average music.
"Taarammayya" sung by Hemanth and Sunidhi Chauhan and lyrics by V Manohar sounds like an item number with some naughty singing by Sunidhi. Hemanth supports well.
"Munjaane Manjaagu" sung by Kunal Ganjawala and Sunidhi Chauhan with lyrics by Kaviraj is a nice peppy duet beautified very well with the guitar music. The lyrics are also very good.
"Maadesha" sung by Gurukiran(???) and lyrics by V Nagendra Prasad. Fast beats, music and different voice of Gurukiran with an underground and mafia world touch make this an interesting song.
"Lahari" sung by Sonu Nigam and lyrics by Jayant Kaikini is a nice song with lyrics telling about the feel of love. Sonu surely needs pronounciation classes if he has to come up clean in his future
Kannada Album.
"Gantu Gantu" sung by Hemanth, Keshav and Srividya and lyrics by Hrudayashiva is a song with folk touch.
"Lahari" again in its female version and who else other than Shreya Ghoshal can take it to the musically best heights. She sounds much much better than Sonu in this version. She gives a neat rendition of this beautifully written number.
A good album overall with the great "Lahari" and "Munjaane Manjaagu"! Quite different from the usual Mano Murthy. Got to see wait and see how the songs would be brought on screen.
Taj Mahal - Audio
"Khushiyaagide Yeko Ninnindale" sung by Kunal Ganjawala is a melodious number expressing a guy's love for his girl. The lyrics by R Chandru are simple and music suits the mood of the song very well.
"Neenendu Nannavanu" sung by Shreya Ghoshal and lyrics by R Chandru is the best song of the album expressing the girl's longing for her guy. Shreya's beautiful rendition of the song adds a great to its simple yet soothing music.
"Hoovantha Preeti Mullada Mele" sung by Hariharan and Supriya with lyrics by K Kalyan is a song about parted lovers and their longing for being together. Music is good with different flavors probably suiting the visuals.
"Kolluvudaadare Kondubidu" sung by Badri Prasad and lyrics by Manju Honnavar is a patho song wherein a guy is repenting for his mistake in love. Badri Prasad impresses with his singing.
"Ibbaru Preetina" sung by Abhiman and lyrics by Manjunanth Lava wherein a guy is reminding his girl about the love they had shared. Abhiman's voice is good and he surely has potential to become a good singer cum composer.
"Preeti Annodu" sung by Chetan with lyrics by Lokesh Krishna is a tiny bit about love.
Good album!! The songs and music are soothing and fresh. Good one from Abhimann!!
Khushiyagide video has come out well though it reminds us of the sets of some previous super hit songs.

Golden Star's Bombaat
Producer : Rockline Venkatesh
Director : D Rajendrababu
Music : Mano Murthy
The much hyped audio of Bombaat - Idu Ganeshana Aata was released on Golden Star's birthday today (2nd July 2008). Here Golden Star teams up with Ramya with for the first time.
The combination of Mano Murthy -Jayant Kaikini - Sonu Nigam once again is interesting here.
The album kicks off with the solo "Maatinalli Helalaarenu" sung by Sonu Nigam with lyrics by Jayant Kaikini. The song is a slow melodious number praising the beauty of an unknown girl/lover. Sonu delivers the song well. The lyrics are innovative and interesting.
"Strawberry Kenne" sung by Rajesh Krishnan and Supriya Ramakrishnaiah and lyrics by Kaviraj is a melodious and cute duet with simple lyrics. Rendered very well by Rajesh and Supriya. Rajesh's voice shows lots of variations in this song through which he proves he is no less than other "imported" singers.
"I Am So Bombaat" sung by Gurukiran(???) and lyrics by Kaviraj. Sounds like intro song of the hero. Not much content in lyrics and also Gurukiran's singing.
"Maatinalli Helaballenu" sung by the enchanting Shreya Ghoshal is the female version of "Maatinalli Helalaarenu" is a superb extension with good lyrics and soothing music. As usual, Shreya steals the show with her singing.
"Chinna Hele Hegiruve" is a duet sung by Sonu Nigam and Shreya Ghoshal with lyrics by Jayant Kaikini. Kaikini's words bring some freshness to the duet and are aptly rendered.
The music though not that great is pleasant to hear. Worth listening. Music will pick up slowly for sure!!!

Mussanje Maatu - Audio
Mussanje Maatu - Audio
Starring: Sudeep, Ramya, Anu Prabhakar
Music: V. Sridhar
Director: Mahesh
Producer: Suresh Jain
Ninna Nodalendo is a melodious duet sung by Sonu Nigam and Shreya Ghoshal with lyrics by Ram Narayan.
Kaddalu Manasanna is a pacy dance number sung beautifully by Kunal Ganjawala and lyrics is by V Manohar.
Akasha Bhoomi with lyrics by V Sridhar and sung beautifully by Shreya Ghoshal. No doubt shes the best!! This slightly reminded of Barso Re Barso Megha from Guru - the feel of the song.
Enagali Munde Saagu Nee sung by Sonu Nigam and lyrics by V Sridhar is an inspirational number to go ahead in life. Start of the song is "inspired" by song of movie Tum Bin.
Mussanje Maatali, the title song is an awesome song sung by Hemant and has lyrics by Bhaskar Gubbi. Great music and we can get to hear Hemant at his best!!
Anuraga Aralo Samaya sung by Karthik and lyrics by Kaviraj has great music and Karthik sounds fresh. The orchestration is awesome in this song! Great lyrics!!!
O Hrudaya is a patho song penned by V Sridhar and sung well by Udit Narayan. But patho songs dont sound good in the voice of Udit.
Hettavala Muddu Maatu sung by Nandita and lyrics by Revanna is a cool lullaby song.
Best Buy!!! I just enjoyed listening to music of Mussanje Maatu. The music has made me wait anxiously for the movie!!
Minchina Ota - Audio
Starring : Vijaya Raghavendra, Sri Murrali, Lakshmi Rai
Music : V Manohar
Producer: Sa Ra Govindu
Direction: A M R Ramesh
We Love You Love Ganesha sung by Leelvati Baipaaditya and lyrics by V Manohar. A good number with a touch of Yakshagaana. V Manohar has mixed traditional Yakshagaana music and modern instruments well. Intersting one to listen. The changeover from Yakshagaana to rap style is interesting.
O Geleya rendred by Raghu Dixit is a pacy number with lyrics by Dharani. Different voice of Raghu Dixit makes it a bit unpleasant to hear this song about fighting for love.
Aa Moda Hani Aytu sung by Vijay Yesudas is a pleasant song written by Chandru S L. The music though reminds of Ello Adu Ello song from Kanasugara.
Hey Huduga sung by M D Pallavi with lyrics by Chandru S L is a superb song sung very well by Pallavi. The raunchy voice gives a different feel to the song.
Minchante Bandu Mareyaade is a melodious song sung by Vijay Yesudas and Bhavatarani Ilayaraja and lyrics by Pradeepkumar.Vijay's voice surely will remind voice of Yesudas. Bhavitarani sounds promising but can improve.
Hey Premi has lyrics by Chandru S L is rendered by Raghu Dixit is an extended version of O Geleya.
O Megha Hogi Baa sung by Vijay Yesudas and lyrics by Chandru S L is a song about sending love message to his beloved.
Allondu Sanna Aase sung by Mangala Ravi with lyrics by V Manohar preaches about whats important for life.
Jwale Jwale sung by Vijay Prakash and lyrics by Girish Mavalli is an interesting song with pacy music and hard hitting lyrics explaining heroics. Vijay Prakash is good in this.
Tangaali Illi Baa sung by Lakshmi Manamohan and lyrics by Chandru S L and Madhugiri where a girl describes her lover. Lakshmi sounds a bit strange and hence needs improvement.
Good effort by V Manohar. A bit unconventional music overall. The newcomers need improvement. It would be interesting to watch how these songs would be adapted in the movie.
