MM Keeravani or MM Kreem as he is called in Bollywood is one of my favorite music directors, even though he is not in the league of Ilayaraja or A R Rehman. He is someone who always takes me in to a different world with his music.

He is supreme when it comes to Devotional or Classical music and above average when it comes to regular commercial stuff. So it was very natural of me to have sky high expectations when it came to Pandurangadu, the latest devotional flick in the combo of KRR-MMK.

So how is the album does it really live upto the hype or has Keeravani failed this test? The album contains 15 tracks.

Aadauv Devakideva: This is a sloka which captures in a single paragraph the entire life history of Lord Krishna. Very neatly done.

Brindavanuma: Keeravani's voice may not be a connoisseur's delight but it is a very soothing one when he sings commercial numbers and soul touching when he sings devotional numbers. This is a devotional number. Do i need to say more? Listen for urself and get transported into a different world

Govinda Krishna Jai: This is a song which speaks about the deeds of Sri Krishna the boy. Wonderfully rendered by SPB this song will grow on when seen on the screen. The way it is pictured is of utmost importance here as it is very easy to show some small boy doing all kinds of mischief. I personally believe this song will attain a new level if this song with the singer singing it in the height of devotion without any girls and boys there by preventing the trivializing of the lyrics.

Govindude Koka Chutti: Simply Stunning number. Keeravani does it again with this number. With Sunita providing great support this number is an outstanding one.

Hey Krishna Mukunda: SPB and SPB alone can render these kinds of songs. Good to hear i am pretty sure that this song will catch on when seen on as it is about the protagonist demanding the lord to give him darshan.

Jaya Ranga Ranga Vittala: A master at churning out chorus numbers which elevate the scene, keeravani comes out with this wonderful chorus. Could be the ending song. Excellent.

Jwalath Kaarala: Wonderful chorus.

Mathrudevobhava: Extra ordinary rendition and Lyrics of great depth makes this a simply extra ordinary number. Could go on and become an all time hit.

Koshaladeshapu: Mass number if i can call it that way, Now don't come to the conclusion that it is the usual mass number which has Shankar Mahadevan crooning to some stupid lyrics. This number has SPB again at his mischievous best as he sings about his love for women and his lifestyle. Sunita again provides great support. Fun Number.

Mathapitrusamo: An average chorus

Neela Megha:SPB at it again and this number when seen on screen will make a few people to shed tears for sure.

Sahasra Sheesara: Shankar Mahadevan sings this average chorus

Premavalambanam: An average duet.

Sri Sri Rajadi Raja: A fantastic fun number rendered by Shankar Mahadevan and Geeta. Mass will go berserk with this number for sure.

Yemani Adaganu: What lyrical value? My God!! Comes as a slap in the face for people like me who keep asking the lord for different things. Must listen number.

Overall, a fantastic album, definitely the cream of Kreem without an iota of doubt. A great relief for listeners from the run of the mill music stuff which we have been hearing for quite some years.

Kudos to Keeravani and Team
