Ilayaraja scores the music for this work of art. Let us examine the songs in detail. 1. Jagadhananda Karaka: Artist(s): SP. Balasubramaniam, Shreya Ghoshal. Lyricist: Jonnavithula This melodious number might be the song in which Lord Rama will be introduced in the film. S.P.Balasubramanyam renders the lyrics with such soulful passion that you can literally see Lord Rama in all his glory while listening to this song. The song describes the glory of Lord Rama’s rule and the happiness that prevails in the kingdom. Strong use of Indian instruments and a melodious composition from maestro Ilayaraja will make an immediate impact on you. 2. Evadunnadu Artist(s): SP. Balasubramaniam Lyricist: Jonnavithula This bit song starts off with ANR’s voice over and is followed by Balasubramanyam’s recitation of Valmiki’s question to Naradha Maharshi about whether there exists a Supreme Human Being in this world.Strong use of the tabla is the predominant theme of the music. 3.Sita Rama Charitham Artist(s): Anitha, Keerthana Lyricist: Jonnavithula A soulful rendition by Anitha and Keerthana. The song is a melodious recitation of the fundamental episodes of the Ramayana from the abduction of Sita to the Agni Pareeksha. Very moving lyrics from Jonnavitthula make this song a powerful melancholic melody. 4.Sri Rama Lera Artist(s): Ramu, Shreya Ghoshal Lyricist: Jonnavithula This song’s music has a heavy use of the Tabla, Veena and Flute and this gives the song a decidedly Indian feel. This song describes all the noble qualities of Lord Rama and of the loving bond he has with his wife Sita. Shreya Ghosal’s voice is perfect for this number. 5.Devulle Mecchindi: Artist(s): Shreya Ghoshal, Chitra Lyricist: Jonnavithula This number has a very folk song kind of flavour. The voices of Chitra and Shreya Ghoshal are in perfect symphony and make this song a delight to listen to. Beautiful and soulful music from Ilayaraja lends the song an ethereal feel. The song will be an instant classic. 6.Gaali Ningi Neeru Artist(s): SP. Balasubramaniam Lyricist: Jonnavithula This song will spring a surprise on you. Not because of the quality of music but because of the choice of instruments and the rendition by S.P.B. The song is a classic melancholy of the kind sung by a hero when his heroine is separated from him.In fact, this song will not be out of place in a regular commercial love story. And that is why it will surprise you. Dominated by a heavy use of the synthesizer and modern instruments, the song itself is pretty good but it just feels out of place
