Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo (Original Motion Pictures Soundtrack)

Thaman S has perfected the art of eclectic composition. Action drama Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo embodies the prolific Telugu music director’s knack for fun, entertaining sounds, veering from the cool bilingual hip-hop of “OMG Daddy” (bolstered by chunky sub-bass and electric guitars) to multiple versions of soaring romantic ballad “Samajavaragamana”. However, it’s the album’s title track—a religious paean melded with a rock anthem—that truly steals the show.
