V
Harikrishna
reversed
the
trend
last
year
with
his
rock
numbers,
when
the
Kannada
film
industry
was
overdosed
with
melody
and
romantic
tracks.
In
fact,
he
ruled
the
year
2010
with
his
back-to-back
hit
compositions
in
the
form
of
Jackie
and
Super.
Now,
he
has
scored
the
music
for
yet
another
Puneet
Rajkumar"s
movie
Hudugru,
a
remake
of
Tamil
superhit
Naadodigal.
As
expected,
Yogaraj
Bhat,
who
has
become
a
special
song
specialist,
and
Jayanth
Kaikini
along
with
Nagendra
V
Prasad
have
penned
the
lyrics.
The
moment
these
names
appear
on
the
credits,
one
would
always
expect
the
best
out
of
them.
Let's
see
what
they
have
delivered.
Pankaja
Singer
(s):
Naveen
Madhav,
V.Harikrishna,
Mamatha
Lyrics:
Yogaraj
Bhat
V
Harikrishna
and
Yogaraj
Bhat
have
ensured
that
even
Kannada
film
industry
can
deliver
good
item
numbers
like
'munni
badnaam
hui…" and
'sheela
ki
jawani…".
It
is
the
Sandalwood"s
answer
to
those
special
songs.
We
just
need
one
hearing
before
we
see
ourselves
humming
the
song.
The
music
director
could
not
have
expected
more
from
Naveen
Madhav
and
Mamatha.
Their
voices
have
perfectly
suited
the
song.
However,
the
track
makes
you
believe
that
you
have
heard
the
tune
before,
especially
when
the
chorus
joins
the
proceedings.
Neeralli
Sanna
Singer
(s):
Sonu
Nigam
Lyrics:
Jayanth
Kaikini
Sonu
Nigam
has
become
the
first
choice
for
the
Sandalwood
music
directors,
when
it
comes
to
romantic
songs.
He
has
crooned
a
solo
number
for
which
Jayanth
Kaikini
has
written
the
lyrics.
One
would
always
have
huge
expectations
on
this
combo,
as
they
have
given
many
chartbuster
songs
before.
However,
the
track
'neeralli
sanna...' is
not
an
instant
hit
material
and
one
needs
to
listen
quite
a
few
times
before
it
comes
on
his
lips.
But
there
are
some
songs,
which
will
be
good
to
listen,
when
we
see
it
with
visuals
and
this
song
comes
under
that
category.
Neeralli
Sanna
Lyrics:
Jayanth
Kaikini
Singer
(s):
Sunitha
Gopurajaa
Sunitha
Gopurajaa
has
lent
her
voice
for
'neeralli
sanna...'
for
the
same
tune
and
lyrics.
The
melody
track
will
undoubtedly
attract
the
female
audience.
Her
soft
vocal
gives
a
soothing
experience
to
a
listener.
Yen
Chandane
Hudugi
Singer
(s):
Sukhwinder
Singh,
Kailash
Kher,
Vijaya
Prakash,
Priya
Himesh
Lyrics:
Nagendra
V
Prasad
The
track
'yen
chandane
hudugi...'
is
vocalized
by
Sukhwinder
Singh,
Kailash
Kher,
Vijaya
Prakash
and
Priya
Himesh.
Sukhwinder
kick-starts
the
song
with
folk
lyrics.
Kailash's
voice
adds
zing
to
the
number.
It
is
purely
a
situational
song
and
Nagendra
V
Prasad's
lyrics
are
good
at
parts.
Vijaya
and
Priya's
voices
go
unnoticed
with
the
chorus.
Shambho
Shiva
Shambo
Singer
(s):
Shankar
Mahadevan
Lyrics:
Nagendra
V
Prasad
The
best
song
is
out
in
the
form
of
'shambho
shiva
shambo...'
sung
by
Shankar
Mahadevan
and
it
is
a
tailor-made
number
for
him.
The
song
is
high
on
energy
and
Nagendra
Prasad's
lyrics
have
blended
well
with
the
pace
of
the
song.
It
gives
an
insight
about
the
serious
side
of
the
story
of
the
film.
Harikrishna
has
retained
the
original
tune
from
Naadodigal
for
the
number.
It
will
surely
top
the
chart.
Overall:
Hudugru
album
has
lived
up
to
the
expectations
of
the
audience.
It
is
a
good
album
which
has
got
enough
number
of
decent
tracks.
The
songs
'pankaja…'
and
'shambho
shiva
shambo...'
are
sure
shot
chartbusters.
Moreover,
it
does
not
have
a
single
below
average
song.
