Expectations of the film (Ready) went up with each passing day post its Music release. First one week, the people (music lovers) took it lightly. Soon, it caught up with all sections of them, particularly the youth and all those who are young at heart. Devi Sri Prasad scored music for the first time for a Seenu Vytla film, completely away from his typical hoopla that catered only to the mass. This time, he also played class, romantic and poetic. The lyrics are equally good, with clarity in composition. It has minus points; but more plus points too – that could silhouette the criticism of being not original in negligible number of stretches. After all, music is like a full bottle of rum. You can’t gulp it in one go, but in peg-system. This yardstick is applicable to Ready Music, which will sure have some longevity.

1. Get Ready
It is considered the Introduction song of the hero; and the title song as well. With voice rendered by Karthik, this lyric penned by Sirivennela has five steps in order – prompting the music lovers to get ready for various actions and emotions. Devi Sri Prasad shows acute difference in his beats for each step. Of course, it might sound similar to the general listeners. It holds the required potency for repeat listening. The title Ready repeats umpteen numbers of times, equally matched with rhyming couplets. With the theme touching on friendship and college life, it has already caught up with the students. The last stage before striking the climax sends the listeners in jolly sway, if they could dance. Bonus: Sexy humming by a female voice that gently rakes up the senses of those who Get Ready. It’s Cinderella for them. All through, the tempo is amazingly retained, better say, getting doubled and trebled each step.

2. Ayyo Ayyo Danayya
The lady asks the hero (addressing him Danayya) – Did you get flat? Seeing me? The guy retorts: Ladies are given to Sollu Kabarlu and use boys to get Valentine Day gifts. This number is frequently found the most enjoyable number for the college segment. Sung by Franco and Priya, it naturally tickles the youth in love. Most of the romantic hearts in love are victims of pranks against each other. Yet, the feel is sweet. Sporadic beats get settled as the number progresses. The lyric has superb and sexy alliteration. For instance, the lady’s masculine and seducing voice spells out … Balance leni Body meedhe Beauty. You have several such alliterations and rhyming notations. Cut the number into two. The second half is smeared with oscillation in the voice of the female, mostly. Lyric dominates music, if heard again and again.

3. Tu Tu Tu
It is the most popular number in the album, particularly ringing in the ears of all. Nobody would love to skip it. It sounds the fast version of Rajesh Khanna- Zeenat’s slow and highly romantic escapade song on train in Ajnabee (1974). Compare the two. Both lyric and beats. You will get the same feel. Shreya Goshal and Kunal Jangawala made a joint for this number. The result is terrific. The screen visuals shown on the trailers projected the love pair (Genelia and Ram) in a picturesque location – giving free vent to their feelings. For the first time, Devi Sri Prasad seemed to have scored totally melodious beats. If you don’t see the inlay card and don’t know about the album, you don’t come to know that’s it’s a Devi Sri Prasad’s number. Such is the variety! Rama Jogayya Sastry’s lyric is impressive.

4. Ninne Pelladukoni
It sounds like a group song, touted to be a romantic one. Just it passes off. But, if you are in a kick, you love to listen to lyric’s opening and its climax. The middle is a hash. Those at leisure might like its repeat play, but not the so-called mass segment. Club the lyric and its music, it gives a feel that it is a mix of the North and South. At some stretches the two clashes, giving a monotonous feel. Ranjit and Kalpana rendered the voice. RJS penned the lyric.

5. Naa Pedavulu
This is the sexy number in the album. Devi Sri Prasad has once again succeeded in coming out of his regular hangover of beats. His music too is sexy. The lyric by Sirivennela is gentle and has superb literary value for the romantics. It is a tribute to passionate lovers. The lovers identify them with each other’s physical parts and needs; musical instruments and their vibrations; hallmarks of beauty in nature. Sirivennela’s poetry with words such as a girl’s cheek, lip, look and foot makes us visualize the most beautiful girl. But, one should have senses worth to receive the appeal. Both male and female voices (Sagar and Gopika Purnima) are equally good. Repeat play would also make you recall some of the tunes of the modern day holy chants… that swing and the dive into abstract feelings.

6. Om Namaste Bolo
The lyric is neither fast nor slow. The words are clear, a major plus point to the number; which otherwise, a throw-off. Devi’s music is definitely not unique. It gives a feel that you have heard it somewhere. The lady’s convulsive mood in the middle holds some weight for its repeat listening. It has no any special appeal. But there are chances of the number performing well onscreen. Eye will decide its fate rather than the ear. Ramjogayya Sastry inked this lyric.
