'Alemari’ Audio Review- Arjuna Vijaya!
Debut directors very rarely get this kind of lovely songs. It happened for S Narayan in 1990 from Hamsalekha ‘Chaitradha Premanjali’, Gurukiran as debutant gave music in ‘A’ starring Upendra debut as an actor and later lot of newcomers had good innings from Gurukiran music direction starting from ‘Majnu’.
Now Santhu feel proud for the lovely scoring from Arjun Janya the rapidly growing tune task master in Kannada filmdom.
‘Alemari’ by producer BK Srinivas has very good quality and singer’s selection is also top class. In this audio album the making of all the songs is a boon to every listener.
The songs in the audio album are written by first director Santhu. He has given variety never going identical. The selection of words of Santhu is so up to date and clever.

Bababa Bengaluru Hudugaru…. With dialogues interspersed in between the lines is a peppy song set for slum living youths.
