A
music composer's wish comes true when
mahesh babu and
trivikram collaborate. Classic albums such as
athadu and
khaleja have appeared in their combination. Thaman has an opportunity with Gunturkaaram. Forget about matching that; his work isn't even a thin ghost of the prior albums or soundtracks.
mahesh babu fans have always disliked this combo. Thaman made strong statements about
sarileru neekevvaru during the Ala Vaikuntapurramuloo
success Meet in 2020.
Even so, Mahesh gave him a chance with Sarkaru Vaari Paata, and it was a huge letdown. Fans once again pressured Thaman not to repeat, but the Ala Vaikuntapurramuloo combo value provided Thaman with another chance, but he failed to capitalize. There were difficulties from the beginning. There were claims that Mahesh was adamant about removing Thaman and
pooja Hegde. The creators may eliminate
pooja but not Thaman.
Few
people know that the crew even had a meeting with Hesham, but the latter was not a good match for the
mass songs, and someone like Anirudh couldn't produce them in time for Sankranthi's release. We've all realized how essential the Sankranthi release is to the film. Thaman is a prominent
music director. If anybody is taken from a highly anticipated star project, we want him to do better to prove everyone wrong. But what transpired in Gunturkaaram defies explanation.
There are reports of song releases being delayed, one song being deleted from the film (due to Mahesh's last-minute decision), and the response when the Craving song was published. Gunturkaaram is a
music director's ultimate humiliation. In terms of songs, nothing worked except Kurchi Madathapetti. Even this song worked because of the controversy surrounding it, and many
people believed that a song like this should not be included in a star-studded film like Mahesh's. The background score is very forgettable. There is not a single scene in which we
believe the soundtrack enhanced or complimented the scenario. It is often overly loud and out of tune with the events. One cannot ignore the blatant rip-off of the Jailer background soundtrack!
In rare cases, it is allowed to inspire or duplicate overseas films. To recycle a score from a recent successful film is something only Thaman can understand, and, unfortunately,
trivikram chose to disregard it. Thaman's decision to export a print with sound-mixing flaws overseas is extremely unprofessional. The
audience in the
united states paid $28 for the premiere and expected the bare minimum of excellence. Thaman's work has received universally negative reviews since its first U.S. premieres; it is that terrible. When viewed on
television or other devices, the trailer also experienced sound mixing difficulties.
Gunturkaaram is a great example of Thaman wasting an opportunity. Because of his hectic schedule and celebrity, he most likely values a chance less. Unfortunately, the combo (Trivikram and Thaman) that produced some of the highest-quality
music in recent memory has ended up like this.
