Male Barali Manju Irali Music Review
(2.5/5) Audio Review by Suchitra Preetham
Manoo Murthy’s luck with ‘M’ seems to be running out. After epic hits such as Mungaru Male, Milana and to some extent, Moggina Manasu tunes, the M factor in Male Barali Manju Irali is just one futile shot. The tunes of this album are a sad reminder of MM’s old glory. Only two songs are worth listening. The rest are ‘listen-at-your-own-risk’ numbers.
Ondsala Ondu: (Kunal Ganjawala): This number commences with foot tapping beats that seemingly hold out some promise. However, it turns out that this ondsala ondondu-sala track is true to its name. It is a one time (strictly one) listenable number.
Gelathi Neenu: (Sonu Nigam, Shreya Ghoshal): The Sonu- Shreya combo has been a tried, tested and repeated Sandalwood formula that is as popular as bread and jam. This slow, soft, romantic number that comes from the Kaikini pen grows on you with time.
Ondu Ninna: (Shreya Ghoshal): The trailing tunes and moaning tone of Ondu Ninna is a track gone lost. Shreya’s golden voice, music whiz Mano murthy and Kaikini do not seem to work any of the earlier magic.
Yeno Agide: (Tippu, Supriya Ramakrishnaiah): In yet another literary paradox, yeno agide makes you wonder where the musical wizardry of MM got mislaid? The track seems painfully plain and chugs along like a goods train. Though you wish that it ends quickly, the wagons that go by seem endless.
Vijayambike: (Manasi Prasad): With all reverence to bhajans, the 93 second Vijayambike number is short. And we thank God for that!
Vidayada Veleyalli: (KK): Do sad songs have to sting your ears, in order to feel the pain? KK’s high pitched voice amputates all emotion, leaving the lifeless notes of Bhatt to the mercy of MM imagination. Ultimately it is the listener who takes the bleating (oops beating).
Male Barali: (Alok, Inchara): The title song in a Kanglish mix, is all about the Male and the Manju. From the start to end, Male Barali Manju Irali in a repetitive mode, drives home one single point that Gururaj so compellingly makes, Male Barali, Manju Irali.
Jaga Jagiso: (Keshav Prasad, Mahalakshmi Iyer): Now we wonder if you can call tunes that ring a bell as signature notes or repetition. Jaga Jagiso is a melodious number that could bring back memories of old tunes and I must mention a lot of lost smiles as well. I am talking about the smiles lost by listening to previous tracks.

Some how i am not impressed with the album.
MBMI is a remake of MAIN PREM KI DIWANI HOON starrin hrithik abhishek n kareena……..
MBMI Album is not bad at all. Folks wait just for 2 more weeks. Manasaare album will conquer entire music loving world. Manasaare is a classic in making. Huge hopes on this movie. Quartret comprising Manomurthy, Jayanth Kaikini, Sonu Nigam and Yograj Bhat will be a huge treat. On top of it for a first time genius called Sathya Hedge is behing Camera for YB movie. We can’t ask for more. Manasaare is emerging as a high quality product.
Manomurthy is a gentleman music director……it takes little time for songs to grow on us…that is how great mano composes music……..i am waiting for manasaare songs
The music is really enjoyable..this reviewer is biased against manomuruthy
gelath neenu and vidhaayadha veleyalli songs are too good…vidhayadha veleyalli has lyrics by yograj bhat….
Yes guys
Songs are far better then reviews here.
songs of Malebarali Manju irali is great. review by Mrs. Preetham is baseless and irresponsible.
Suchitra Preetham is useless and must not review any album. Always a baseless biased review
Good lyrics, especially jaga jagiso liked it and catchy tune. Well done..
Music isn’t bad at all..takes a few listening. If Jassie Gift’s album in Parichaya is better than this then the reviewer has certainly gone mad.. ….Manomurthy style of music is definitely different compared to his previous albums
Well has he realy given fresh tunes orelse recycled his old ones.
well i’m not an avid listener to kannada music. i listen to them based on the reviews posted here. so far i agree with you views and ratings. but this review has still got a rating of 2.5 not sure if i should listen or not. MM ususllay gives good music like in mungaru male and Milana but this time i’ll listen to this review and pass on listening to this music.
MAybe its not a good movie. M. Murthy did great works when the movie was good MM, Milana and gave bad music in bad movies Haage sumaane, Bombaat,, lets see how this movie is..
I am sick and tired of manomurthy’s soul less tunes
