One & Only Lion
Singers: Geetha Madhuri, Pranavi, Rahul Sipligjunj
Lyrics: Viswa

The album gets the inevitable commercial touch with a catchy rhythm and the obvious elevating lyrics and mass appeal with neat chorus arrangements. The track stays true to regular mass appeal formula throughout its progress but has too much of 90s flavor which sounds out of the current trend.

Akasam
Singers: Pranavi, Srinivasa Sarma, Vijay Prakash
Lyrics: Bhaskarabhatla, Rahul (Rap)

A typical Mani Sharma styled melodious duet comprises of gripping rhythm and strong vocals by Vijay Prakash and Pranavi. The breezy chord progression and contemporary touches make it an enjoyable hearing. The interludes are laced well with wonderful sarod, shehnai and mandolin with digitized rhythm variations.

Pilla
Singers: Simha, Sudhamayi
Lyrics: Bhaskarabhatla Ravikumar

The album gathers pace and high voltage energy with a street styled mass number funky electric guitar touches. It has foot tapping rhythm with fancy lyrics as well. The desi flavor gets more evident with shehnai usage in the interludes. However, it lacks the thumping punch and energy levels.

Aisa Ambani Pilla
Singers: Sweekar Agasthi, Uma Neha
Lyrics: Bhaskarabhatla

This interesting track begins with a peculiar sounding trumpet which strikes a conversation with the lead vocals. The syncopated rhythm blends well with digitized sequencing establish the track well. The interludes have some funky moments here and there but they fail to make a hummable number.

Anaganaga
Singers: Madhu Balakrishnan
Lyrics: Ramajogayya Sastry

A pleasant solo with a storytelling style of presentation having the classy vocals of Madhu Balakrishnan. The overall orchestration reminds the listener of yesteryear Mani Sharma’s compositions replete with flute, competent rhythm section and wonderful ambience. The charanam has additional classical touches with nice chord progression.

Verdict: Lion is a generic album from the hit combo of Balakrishna and Mani Sharma.
2.5
