BheemlaNayak is the soundtrack album composed by S. Thaman for the 2022 Indian Telugu-language film of the same name, directed by Saagar K. Chandra from a screenplay written by Trivikram Srinivas. A remake of the Malayalam-language film Ayyappanum Koshiyum (2020), the film stars Pawan Kalyan, Rana Daggubati, Nithya Menen and Samyuktha Menon. The film's soundtrack album featured seven songs (also including a bonus track), featuring lyrics written by Ramajogayya Sastry, Trivikram, Roll Rida and Kasarla Shyam. The album was released on 14 February 2022 under the Aditya Music label.[1]
The film marks Thaman's second collaboration with Pawan Kalyan after Vakeel Saab (2021) and his first with Chandra.[2][3] The original counterpart film Ayyapanum Koshiyum had nearly four songs, whereas the Telugu remake had seven songs. Thaman had said that "It was not easy for Bheemla Nayak. From the start, there was some or the other issue, for this movie. Every day, we used to start working with much stubbornness."[4] As the film is set in the forest regions of Andhra Pradesh, Thaman believed that "every musical sound has to come from natural habitat, and they should not seem fancy". He also wanted the music to give feel of the wild by using sounds and instruments. At the same time, it should be new to cater to the audience.[5]
Kumari Durgavva, a singer hailing from Kotapally, Mancherial crooned the track "Adavi Thalli Maata" along with Sahithi Chaganti.[7] The film was reported to have a song sung by Kailash Kher which was penned by Ramajogayya Sastry, but was not chosen in the final soundtrack.[8][9] Also, Geetha Madhuri confirmed on Instagram, saying that she had crooned a lullaby number for the film.[10] However, the track was crooned by Mohana Bhogaraju, instead of Madhuri, and whose track was entitled as "O Sandamama".[10] Vaishnavi Kovvuri, a contestant of the Telugu edition of Indian Idol was chosen to record vocals for the track "Bheemla Back on Duty". Thaman, who was also one of the judges of the reality show appreciated her performance and chose her to croon for the song along with other singers: Pratyusha Pallapothu, Rachitha Rayaprolu, Parnika, Rita Thygarajan, Lakshmi Meghna.[11]
The promo for the third single titled "Lala Bheemla" was released on 27 October[18] and the full song was released on 1 November.[19][20] The fourth single track, "Adavi Thalli Maata" was intended to be released on 1 December,[21] but due to the untimely demise of lyricist Sirivennela Seetharama Sastry on 30 November 2021, the track's release was postponed as a mark of respect to the lyricist.[22] The track was later unveiled on 10 December.[23] On New Year's Eve (31 December 2021), the makers launched the DJ version of the track "Lala Bheemla" as a single, which was not featured in the film.[24] The song "Bheemla Back on Duty", which played in the end credits of the film, was released as a bonus single on 4 March (after the film and the soundtrack release).
Thaman was blamed for the delayed and rushed work on the film's background score, in the last minute; it was mostly due to his work in multiple films, as he additionally worked on the background score of Radhe Shyam and DJ Tillu.[29] While he was appreciated for the film score, he also received criticism from netizens as they pointed out the similarities of the song played in the end credits ("Bheemla Back on Duty") to that of the independent song "That's So EmmV" composed by EmmV.[30]
A critical review from Indiaglitz wrote "Thaman's journey to present a new style continues in the Bheemla Nayak soundtrack. The choice of singers is turning out to be a unique feature of the album, and they do a splendid job of making the sounds more pulsating than it already is. A winner that will surely have the fans foot-tap with abandon."[31] Another review from Pinkvilla summarised "Bheemla Nayak plays to the tastes of the mass audience without going ultra-loud or flashy. While being unapologetically commercial in its sensibilities, it lets Thaman whip up a new flavour of music. While the title track, as well as 'La La Bheemla', are intuitive (and the songs are filled with sass and scorching elevation shots), the rest of the songs suck the audience into the mood of the film. The BGM is consistently engaging."[32]
Sankeertana Varma of Firstpost opined that "the score complements the story and brings it alive" and appreciated Thaman calling him "as the film's biggest asset".[33] Ram Venkat Srikar in his review for The New Indian Express wrote "Thaman is truly in his prime and continues his golden streak with this film. Be it the aforementioned interval sequence or the La la Bheemla song that follows, or the much-hyped action sequence set in a lodge or the climax, Thaman pumps oxygen into these scenes."[34] However, Balakrishna Ganesan of The News Minute, who gave a negative review for the film said "Music director Thaman S tries to keep the movie engaging with his energetic background score. But after a point, it becomes repetitive."[35]
