The Dussehra Test: Can Thaman Win This Challenge?

This upcoming Vijayadashami season is posing a significant challenge for the prominent music director, Thaman, who has been quite active in the Telugu film industry. While he has secured a slew of projects, particularly those featuring A-list heroes, it's worth noting that he hasn't produced memorable songs of the same caliber as his work in 'Ala Vaikunthapuramloo'.

Critics and audiences have voiced concerns regarding the lack of trending songs and criticism of his background scores in recent films. Thaman's persistent reputation as a copycat composer, which has plagued him from the start, still lingers.

Despite these challenges, he continues to take on new projects with determination. Thaman's recent work on 'Skanda' received negative feedback for being excessively loud. He's also composed music for 'Bagavanth Kesari,' starring Balakrishna and directed by Anil Ravipudi, with no notable acclaim so far.

Thaman has also composed the music for "Bagavanth Kesari," which is set to release in the NBK and Anil Ravipudi combo. As for the music, there haven't been significant negative remarks until the trailer.

It remains to be seen how Thaman's fortunes will fare with the movie's release on Dussehra festival. Simultaneously, the first single of "Guntur Karam" will be launched. The first song of Ram Charan's Game Changer movie is also scheduled for release on Dussehra. The fate of these three films will become apparent by Dussehra.

This is why Dussehra presents a significant challenge for Thaman. It's a time when there is the potential for reactions from the fans of the three star heroes regarding Thaman's work. How these reactions will unfold remains to be seen, and we'll have to wait to witness how Thaman handles them.
