A glimpse of the 'first single' from Mahesh Babu's 'Guntur Karam' was unveiled today. The complete song is set to release on the 7th of November.
However, upon initial impression, it bore a striking resemblance to the energetic 'Dhoom Machale Dhoom' from the film Dhoom 2, which dates back 18 years.
The inclusion of the term 'Dum Masala' in the lyrics that sounds like "Dhoom Machale" clearly indicates a direct inspiration from that older Hindi song. This indicates lack of creativity and originality.
Furthermore, the lyrics themselves appear outdated, lacking the freshness needed to uplift Mahesh Babu's stardom in a novel way.
With great expectation surrounding 'Guntur Karam', the composition sounds something ordinary for Mahesh Babu.
We need to reserve judgment until the complete song is unveiled. This stands as the primary critical impression of the released glimpse.
The song features vocals by Sanjith Hegde and Thaman, with lyrics penned by Rama Jogayyya Sastry.
In this project, Meenakshii Chaudhary and Sreeleela play the female lead roles. The film is produced by Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Films.
Thaman serves as the film’s music director, and fans can look forward to more updates on "Guntur Kaaram" in the near future.
