Another good news for the movie lovers. On August 12th, Naga Chaitanya coming to rock the Tollywood with "Josh".As the title JOSH, indicates its a completely youthful and joshful movie. Naga Chaitanya is the son of Nagarjuna(one of the top hero in Tollywood). He is playing a loverboy role in his debut film directed by Vasu Varma. This movie has one more speciality, that is heroine karthika, she is the daughter of Radha(she is one of the best actress in telugu and tamil). This is the first film for Karthika in Telugu. Previously Nagarjuna and Radha have proved as a good pair with a number of successful films. So audiance is expecting the same from this young couple too.

Josh Audio is released by Umesh Gupta(Aditya Audio Owner),and the music is already rocking. Music given by the Bollywood music director Sandeep Chowta.He has given musical hits like Ninne Pelladatha, Prema Kada, Super, Bujjigadu. Josh is produced by the mega successful director "Dil Raju". Coming to the producer, till now he presented superhit movies like Dil, Badra, Aarya, Bommarillu, Parugu.... Before this story, Dil Raju approached Nagarjuna with Kotha Bangaru Lokam(KBL) story to introduce Naga Chaitanya. But Nagarjuna simply reject that, because it is very soft love story.

Coming to Director Vasu Varma, he is giving story, screenplay and dialogues. He took three years to prepare this script. The interesting thing is nagarjuna accepted this script as Debut film for naga chaitanya within one sitting. So that we can understand how the script is. For this Vasu Varma did a lot of hard work.

The audiance have more expectations on this movie because, 'King' Nagarjuna's son "Naga Chaitanya"'s debuting film, Karthika's first telugu movie, The golden hand producer Dil Raju producing this movie. Vasu Varmas hard work, increases the expectations more.....

In this movie it have six songs and three bit songs. Josh audio succeeded to win the hearts of music lovers.

Music Review:

Diridiri Diridi:
This is the song that was used in the promos and can be called the title song. The introduction music is really catchy which is probably why it is being used the trailers. The rest of the song, however, is not quite up to expectations. The tune in the pallavi is a total contrast to the rest of the song which is not appealing as it loses it feel as a hard-hitting, energetic song. The selection of singers is not good as the lyric clarity is lost in the voices of Sandeep Chowta and Kunal Ganjawala. There are also some parts of the interludes that make you lose the feel of the song. Coming back to this song, it is just an average song. The instument usage is alright and the lyrics are also ok.

Neetho Vunte:
This is Sandeep Chowta kind of melody song. It is not a normal melody as it has some moments of fast beats. The tune sounds western but the lyrics have a Telugu feel to them, which is nice. Karthik, who is in the top 5 singers in Telugu at the moment, does a spendid job. The thing I like about this song is that the lyric clarity is perfect unlike the first song. The selection of singer, orchestration and lyrics are the highlights of this song.

Jigijikka (Bit Song):
This a bit song, so there is not much to talk about. There is minimal music, it is a song that talks about the atmosphere at college. The Jigijikka part of the song sounds very familar especially the tune.

Aawara Hawa:
This a female solo so it may be the heroine introduction song. The tune is pretty good and used in the introduction and the two interludes. The singer does a good job with good diction and lyrical clarity. This doesn't really sound like a Sandeep Chowta kind of song, but has elements of his songs like the English lyrics in between. This song will catch on after repeated listening. The lyrics are good and use of instruments is good.

Bad Bad Boy:
This may the hero introduction song. It has typical hero introduction song lyrics where he talks philosophically in the charanaalu and then says he is a Bad Boy in the pallavi. Ranjit has become the standard choice for hero solo songs and introductions. He does a good job as usual. Coming to the orchestration this probably the most Chowta-ish song in the album it has some characteristics of songs in Super and Bujjigaadu. But the only difference is that the lyrical clarity and quality in this song is much better.

Annayochinado (Bit Song):
This is another bit song with minimal music. It sounds like a folk song especially the tune. If anyone has been watching the singing talent show on MAA TV, Idea Super Singer 3 you would know that Chandrabose is one of the judges in that show along with renowned folk writer and singer Goreti Venkanna. I was joking that maybe Chandrabose has been taking tips from Venkanna on folk songs. Anyways, jokes aside another thing that to be said about this song is that the producer Dil Raju has sung this song (Ramana is his actual name). For a bit song it is good.

Evvariki:
This is another melody song. The introduction music of this song is really good and well composed. However, the feel of the song is lost once the singers start singing. The way "Evvariki" is said is kind of annoying as it is said in a very un-Telugu way. That is the main setback of this song, the lack of current Telugu pronounciation. It is only in a few places (mainly at start of second charanam), but they are clearly audible and must have felt like a dagger in the heart of Seetarama Sastry. Leaving aside that mistake, the voice of the singers are good especially Ujjaini Mukherjee's which sounds a bit like Sadhana Sargam's.

Me Me Meka (Bit Song):
Another small bit song which may be used for comedy on screen. It is not really appealling on listening and has to be seen on screen to say any more.

College Bulloda:
This sounds like "O My Brotheru" from Arya. It definitely has a Devi Sri Prasad kind of feel to the song. It will appeal to college-goers and youth. Vittal Rahul does a good job and Chandrabose's lyrics are suitable to the song.
