Music director Patnayak with pretty good standing in his Kannada scoring especially after 'Excuse Me' is forging ahead with melody and peppy songs.
In his latest album 'Datta' for producer cum director Gurudutt he gives a good mixture.
Bare Bare Oh Mavo.. Oh Rangi (sung by Shanker Mahadevan and Malathi- lyrics Nagendra Prasad) is a racy song shot on Darshan and Ramya. This one is quick and rhythmic. Reminds the popular song in the film 'Sipayi Ramu' of Dr.Rajkumar - Vaharumere Muruga...
Manasa Manasa (sung by Kunal Ganjawala and Shreya Goshal - lyrics Kalyan) is on the favorite topic of lyricist Kalyan - Mind. The different mood of mind with rhythm in tact is very well rendered by Kunal and Shreya. This is a romantic song.
Kannige Kanisuva Daivavu Neenamma (sung by Madhu Balakrishna - lyrics Kalyan) is a song on mother. Nooru Varusha Saladhu Aammana Preethisalu, Koti Janma Saladhu Runa thirisalu., is perhaps the experience of the lyricist from the recent development in family life. This song is repeated again in the CD.
Yee Soundaryake Naa thale Baaguve (sung by Kunal Ganjawala and Nandhita- Lyrics - Kalyan) is a romantic song again. Kunal and Nandhita have rendered very well.
Escape Maamu Puksate Dreamu (sung by local guy Karthik - lyrics Nagendra Prasad) is a group song that explains the growth of the hero from footpath to aristocratic life.
Ashwini Audio has given a bonus along with the CD of 'Datta' - the songs of 'My Autograph' - this is what makes the buyers throng at the stands. There are six songs of 'My Autograph' the 100 days run film of Sudeep.
'Datta' starring Darshan and Ramya in the lead role has completed shooting and it is at the post production stage. In June it is slated for release.
