1. "Pallakilo Pekkuthuru" - Renowned duo K. Raghavendra Rao and Keeravani have dished out another musical hit. Rao, who supervised the project, has extracted soulful melodies from Keeravani.


The result is a typical Keeravani album.


2. "Gharshana" - Tamil composer Harris Jayaraj's number "Cheliya Cheliya" - "Uyirin Uyire" in Tamil has become the rage. Venkatesh who plays a cop claims that he has been hearing this song every day for the past month.


It is an album with a difference for Telugu listeners and it is being lapped up.


3. "Cheppave Chirugali" - Noted director Vikraman joins hands with his favourite composer S.A. Rajkumar of the "soft style" to come up with a bunch of delicate melodies. "Neeli Neeli Jabili" is a clear winner. The audio is doing well.


4. "Swamy" - Veteran composer Keeravani, after gifting the huge hit "Simhadri" to NTR Jr, has done the same to the star's father Harikrishna.


Listeners are lapping up the album. If "Driver Lekha" is for the masses, "Chilaka O Chilaka" is melodious. It's a good mix of tunes aimed at all sections of listeners.


5. "Samba": This album of typically foot-tapping numbers by Mani Sharma has held its own despite competition. Now it is doing better after sliding a bit. The numbers have become popular thanks to the elegant dancing of NTR Jr.
