The pulsing beat in his soothing emotional chords will rise the heart beat of listeners. it’s Othello’s Ballad mixed with Shankara Shastry and Mozart providing the musical landscape”

He continued saying “Some BAD people are thinking I am JOKING but I SWEAR on GOD and BALAYYA that I think this is the GREATEST SONG I heard since MUSIC was INVENTED..Am sure NTR in heaven is JUMPING in JOY. Hearty ADVANCE BIRTHDAY to BALAYYA BABU ..I so want to thank you for making me forget BB 1 and BB 2 with ur BB 3,”
