Addu cheppade, Umbrella epudoo
I am going to present the two most intelligently picturised telugu songs (ofcourse, according to my opinion), one of which was directed by Suresh Krishna for the movie "Prema" back in 1992, while the other song was done by Chandrasekhar Yeleti for the movie "Aithe". It came as no surprise that lone song from "Aithe" has the director's cut written all over it, but I was truly pleased with the song from "Prema" too.
Song 1: While "Eenade edho jarigindi" was a great hit audio wise, the visual presentation credit goes to the director that he kept up the chirpy-romantic tempo of the song all through. As we know that first lines of a charanam are repeated in some songs, directors would just fill in redundant frames to keep the audience occupied. However, this aspect has been treated with sheer brilliance in this song.
At the end of first vocal of "ningi nela yekam kaaga, ee kshanamilage aagali", he freezes the frame for 2 seconds to affect of "kshanamilaage aagali" and then jumps into a different locale.
When she sings "Suryunimaapi, chandruni aapi, vennela rojanta kaachindi" line for the first time, hero records it and plays it back to her when audience hears it the second time around.
Song 2: "Chita pata chinukulu" song, inarguably is a visual treat. The color effects and different shades of nature are properly captured and extreme care has been taken to reflect the teen spirit in every frame. One can write a whole chapter analysing this song, but I'll just brush upon the main points.
First of all, the umbrella without a covering cloth symbolizes the "addu cheppade umbrella eppudu, oo vaana nuvvostanante". Notice that, umbrella in this song will never cover the kiddos from the 'welcome' rain. After all, droplets are turning into pearls, arent they?
"Ali baba" reprimanding the kids for waking him from his sleep is hilarious and also tells them not to expect free lunches.
While the wind if blowing against them, they turn around to make the questions fly away - artistically done.
However, what is the one salient similarity between the two songs, but to create different effect? Both the directors decided to 'paint' in open space/sky to convey a message. While Venky writes that he loves Maggie, the younglads inscribes their future on it. Ali baba redirecting "Ours" to "Yours" is a perfect ending.
Hope you enjoyed.

wow, very keen observation. I did't even notice that in eenado, the first line of charanam is repeated.
By the way, eenado is one of my favorite songs. It's rare to see duets composed in "hamsadhwani". Ilayaraja is a genius.
Though I love to hear the song from "Aithe", I did not like the way he picturised it and the way the movie was shot. I obviously missed ur observations on this song...(but im at my office, cant watch it here)
