“Even though I spent 28 years in my village, I started visiting foreign countries after coming into films. My last two films 1-Nenokkadine and Nannaku Prematho have been mostly abroad. One of my fans during my foreign shoot asked me why I could not make a film on Telugu nativity and culture based on a village backdrop. I was left ashamed and it was how Rangasthalam 1985 happened. The film will narrate about the various kinds of people in villages. I felt Rangasthalam will be the apt title and it discusses about emotions, love and revenge. Rangasthalam 1985 is in final stages of post-production and it will hit the screens on March 30th” revealed Sukumar.

Rangasthalam Audio Review

Rangasthalam is an upcoming rural period drama starring Ram Charan and Samantha in lead roles. The film is directed by logical filmmaker Sukumar and music is composed by Devi Sri Prasad. For its promising content and look, the film has already been making much buzz around.

The album begins with the already popular Entha Sakkagunnave sung by DSP himself – this time with laid back vocals. The usually energetic singer tones down his high voltage vocals to suit the folk and relaxing nature of villages and it is done quite well. Poetic lyrics by Chandrabose is a huge plus for this number. DSP uses simplistic arrangements to suit the folk aura of the overall movie and does it in style!

Ranga Ranga Rangasthalana is a fun filled number sung by Rahul Sipligunj and Chandrabose’s lyrics speaking about drama of life is quite enjoyable to hear. DSP makes sure the typical energy is back but at the same time it retains the 80s nostalgia quite brilliantly. The interludes are quite feisty and entertaining as well.

It is time for the peppy number Rangamma Mangamma sung by M.M.Mansi which has already become talk of the town for its unique feel. The song brings back the age old village look in terms of music and folk brilliance. Usage of harmonica and foot tapping rhythm and Mansi’s funky vocals are a biggest highlight of the song. The way a female singer taking a lead with such is amazing to hear!

The album dwells more into folk magic with Aa Gattununtava which is a typical field song which is aimed at energizing the local folks. Shiva Nagulu does a fantastic job with his rustic vocals and excellent style of singing. The usage of clarinet in the interludes gives an old school feel to the song.

The grand finale happens in trademark Sukumar style with an item number Jigelu Raani sung by Rela Kumar and Venkata Lakshmi. Usage of dholak, and harmonium brings a local feeling and Chandrabose’s lyrics are quite funky and conversational. The sultry look of the overall song is quite impressive and interestingly composed in raga Harikamboji!

Verdict:

Rangasthalam is an enjoyable album and definitely Sukumar –DSP combination will never disappoint!
