Buddy!

Hey guys,

I am very excited to present my first short film score to you all. :)

Thanks to Sarat Sharma and his team at YP Films for the opportunity to score for 'Buddy!'. It was both a challenge and a great experience working on the soundtrack for this film.

The whole experience was all the more special since both my brothers, Harish and Parvesh have also worked on the film. Harish created the art work that can be seen along with the end credits while Parvesh is the guy playing the main lead. :)

Without further ado, here's the film (Language - Telugu, subtitled in English):



Following are the various tracks used for the score, if you'd like to listen to them individually:

Priyasakhi...

Hey guys,

It's with great pleasure that I present to you my second composition in Tamil... it is actually a Tamil remake of my last song which was recorded in Telugu, Priyathama...

The lyrics are considerably different in Tamil... Arun has done a great job coming up with some 'scintillating' lines for this version. It's unbelievable that this is the first time he is attempting lyrics for a tune.

Chaitu, who originally sang the Telugu version, has sung the song beautifully in Tamil as well. Thanks a lot bro, for your passion and commitment, and for adding so much value to this song.

It is recommended to use ear/headphones for best quality! :)

Hope you like it. :)

Regards,
Chiru
