Old Classic Song Sung By Nandamuri Balakrishna

On the occasion of the 60th birthday of Nandamuri Balakrishna, many treats are planned for the fans. One of them is a special song sung by the man himself and it is out now. There were many expectations and guesses regarding the special song which would be sung by Balayya babu. However, what we have got is a rendering of old and popular classic song ‘Shiva Sankari’ from NTR’s Jagadeka Veeruni Katha.

He crooned the song in a recording studio, Hyderabad and one must say it is a daring experiment by Nandamuri Balakrishna to recreate the old song in his tone. After all the original song is sung by the legendary singer Ghantasala. Not even a professional singer dares to try to recreate the song.

Nevertheless, for a star to do it the way Nandamuri Balakrishna has done is where he scores, even if the end result is far from satisfactory. Also, a main part of the recreation is rekindling the spirit of the original classic and whether or not one likes the singing, the song is sure to react in the mind long after one has heard. And that is a great service to the song and the following visuals from the original, it is a great touch to use the video as it is and recreate the fresh lip-syncing.
