12 Underrated Albums Of Tollywood Music Directors

Prashanth R. Vihari really did give a soulful album with Mental Madhilo. But unfortunately, despite the moderate success of the film, the songs didn't catch up with the audience. Nevertheless, some of the songs like Manavi Aalakincharadate and Oohale are too good to be missed. 

Though Oka Manasu failed to set the box office on fire and got an indifferent critical reception, one man comes out of this all in flying colors. Sunil Kashyap's music elevates this old-school romantic film. Songs like Emito Ee Kshanam, Ninna Lenantha, and O Manasa are hit among many of the music connoisseurs. In fact, Oka Manasu album is a melody fest. 

Each and every Telugu album composed by Gopi Sunder is a super hit except for this film. Most of the films for which he worked turned out to be hits making his songs too famous. As Seethamma Andalu Ramayya Sitralu was a big flop, the songs went unnoticed. But there are few fans for these songs, which are equally good as any other Gopi Suder songs. Paravasame song is the best song in this album and probably one of the best melodies ever composed by Gopi Sunder.

Many people don't know that this movie exists but the songs in this film are top class. Mickey is one of the best Telugu music directors when it comes to melodies and this album is no exception. The title song Chakkiliginthey is the best song of the album. Other songs Mayo Mayo and Avoid Girls are also good.

This legendary music director gave some of the best albums in Tollywood. But one album which is the most underrated is Basanti. Every song in this album is a perfect melody with beautiful vocals and superb lyrics. Prathee Kshanam sung by Dinker is the best song in this album.

Shekar Chandra impressed everyone with his music for Nachavule, Manasara etc.,  but he gave far better songs for Tanish's Mem Vayasuku Vacham. Most of the songs in this album are too good, most famous one among them is Vellipoke Vellipoke. It is one of the best breakup songs in Tollywood. Manasuku Emaindo sung by Anjana Sowmya is equally good.

This album has some of the best songs, but still it is underrated. Probably this is the best album in Manchu Manoj's career, he has a great music taste and he proved it once again with this album. Oke Oka Jeevitham is pure class which deserved more recognition for its soothing music and meaningful lyrics by Ramajogayya Shastry.

Till this movie most of us saw mass and peppy albums from S Thaman. For the first time he came up with soothing melodies with beautiful lyrics. Each and every song in this album is pleasant, but Inthajare Inthajare stands out because of Karthik's melodious voice.

A R Rahman's music always becomes popular irrespective of movie's result. Most of the times his music gets the deserved applause and recognition. But Komaram Puli is an exception, though the songs are nothing short of excellent, they went unrecognized as the movie was not that successful at the box office. Dochey song which was sung by Shreya Ghoshal is quite famous but very few know that it is from this movie.

This man is probably the most under rated music director in Tollywood. He made his debut with Ninne Pelladutha whose music album along with the movie remains as a classic forever. He gave his best for Naga Chaitanya's debut movie Josh, but the songs did not become popular. Evvariki Kanapadade still remains in many music lovers' playlists.

Okariki Okaru is one of the finest works of M M Keeravani's long career. Though all the songs in this album are good, Nuvve Naa Swaasa in the most popular one. Vellipothe Ela and Nadirdina Nadirdina are equally good but they did not get the deserved applause. 

One of the most loved album by music lovers, it has all types of songs like melodies, peppy songs, etc., Devi Sri Prasad's work for this film is exceptional but it did not become as famous as his other albums. It is hard to mention one best song from this evergreen album but the most popular song is Cheliya Cheliya and most underrated song in the album is Pade Pade sung by Sumangali.
