Business Man Music Review

The Businessman, it should be said at the outset, belies our expectations.  Nevertheless, the six songs (including the theme song) are worth a listen for the thrum of energy passing through the numbers.  Thaman doesn't give us a Champakamala or a Chulbuli.  It may disappoint you a bit, but you may see a glimmer at the end of the tunnel (in their picturization on the celluloid).

Written by Bhaskarabhatla Ravikumar, the lyrics are not very exciting either.  All in all, the album scores average.

Aamchi Mumbai    Listen here

Artists: Ranjith, Rahul Nambiar, Naveen, Aalap Raju
Lyricist: Bhaskarabhatla Ravikumar

The song sets the mood on fire.  Rekindling the memories of Pokiri, this racy song is interspersed with intereseting lyrics.  The song is short, but SS Thaman makes the right impression.  Ranjith, Rahul and co make it a pulsating experience.

Sir Osthara    Listen here

Artists: Suchitra, Thaman
Lyricist: Bhaskarabhatla Ravikumar

If Suchitra's high-voltage pitch feels Dookudu, her coarse vocals make it a compelling listen.  Thaman chips in with his typical vocals.  As a musician, he experiments a lot.  By mixing pleasant instruments in between, Sir Osthara feel like the best one.  The lyricist's Hindi wordings offer relief, too.

Pilla Chao    Listen here

Artist: Rahul Nambiar
Lyricist: Bhaskarabhatla Ravikumar

The song gives Puri's hero to lament the constant spurning of the heroine.  The song is swarmed with similies in the lyrics.  Thaman follows a beaten path and belts out routine stuff.  Rahul's vocals are at their usual entertaining good.

Chandamama Navve    Listen here

Artist: Haricharan
Lyricist: Bhaskarabhatla Ravikumar

Haricharan's twang is a far cry from his usual style.  The song's musical quality does not inspire, but Chamdamama Navve is enjoyable for the instrumention.  That said, Thaman could have done better.  You don't fee like humming the song, and when the song ends abruptly, you would want to thank Thaman.

Bad Boyz    Listen here

Artists: Priya Himesh, Geetha Madhuri
Lyricist: Bhaskarabhatla Ravikumar

The song is more lengthier than other numbers, Bad Boyz is very boisterous.  The new-age woman lists her criteria and sums up saying that she would want a bad boy as a husband.  In the illustrious career of Puri, who has shot bewitching item numbers, Bad Boyz should be dubbed as the only poor one.

Businessman (Theme)    Listen here

Artists: Mahesh Babu, Puri Jagannadh
Lyricist: Bhaskarabhatla Ravikumar

Thankfully, the theme song is exhilirating.  Its invigorating spirit is in tune with the mania that has come to be associated with The Businessman from the beginning.  Mahesh's voice, who speaks with gusto, spices up the proceedings, while Puri is so-so.  Thaman delivers the final punch in his style.  Next only to Sir Osthara, the theme song is interesting.
