Mix, remix, re-remix, what is happening to Telugu film music?
It’s been a while since there has been an original tune, a creative beat. All we get to listen to is old wine in a new bottle, and the bottles are not interesting either.

Where once we had good, soulful music, like in Sankarabharanam or Swarnakamalam, there are now boring ‘teen-maar’ songs, with insipid lyrics and unmemorable tunes. It would be absolutely wrong to say it is because of a lack in talent. Maybe our music directors need to buckle up and worry more about producing quality music than about pleasing the ‘mass’. I doubt if the ‘mass’ is happy, anyway.

Music does reflect on a society’s mood, its personality. If that is really true, we have a long way to go.
