Opinion - Enough Of Song Medleys & Folk Songs
First, there's the much-lauded Antyakshari Scene in "Gabbar Singh," and then there's the gigantic conference room sequence in "Ala Vaikuntapurramloo," which has inspired numerous tollywood films. Using antique folk tunes in films has also become the new trend. Both of these occurrences are now boring and irritating the audience.
Sreeleela danced to various big singles in her introductory scene in the film "Aadikeshava" in a medley of songs. Even in the "Extra" film, nithin and Sreeleela perform a medley of different superhit songs together. Guess what, these are just two examples; there are many more in other films.
At the same time, from the Naadhi Necklace Golusu in Palasa to the use of Pulsar Bandi in Dhamaka and Lingdi Lingdi in Kotabommali, PS: In addition to employing the 'boothu' song 'Na Taalam Teestava' (famous in recording Andhra dances) with changed lyrics in Extra, folk and rural music are overused these days.
If the reaction to any of these recent works is any indication, telugu audiences anticipate this trend to come to an end shortly. With every commercial picture attempting to capitalise on medley sequences and folk tunes, the trend must certainly be overdone, and something fresh must be identified or created in order to grab attention and make sense.
