Sukumar sensation with special songs. Sukumar's "Special Songs" : A Signature Element of Mass Appeal.
Director Sukumar is known for his meticulous approach to filmmaking, infusing his narratives with commercial elements that resonate with a wide audience. A notable aspect of his films has been the inclusion of "special songs," which often feature popular actresses in captivating item numbers, adding a layer of mass appeal and entertainment value.
Sukumar's debut film, "Arya," set the stage for this signature element with the song "Aa Ante Amalapuram," featuring Abhinayasree. This trend continued in his subsequent films: "Jagadam" featured Mona Lisa and Madhusalini in "36-24-36," "Arya 2" had Erina Andriana in "Ringa Ringa," and "100% Love" showcased Mariam Zakaria and Megha Naidu in "Diyyalo Diyyala."
These songs, often infused with mass beats and local references, became chartbusters and contributed significantly to the films' success. Even in "1 Nenokkadine," Sukumar's collaboration with Mahesh Babu, the special song "London Babu" featuring Sophie Chaudhary resonated with audiences, despite the film's overall box office performance.
Sukumar's ability to select the perfect actress for each item number is noteworthy. In "Rangasthalam," Pooja Hegde appeared in "Jil Jil Jigelu Rani," followed by Samantha Ruth Prabhu's captivating performance in "Ooo Antava Mawa" in "Pushpa: The Rise."
"Pushpa 2: The Rule" continues this tradition with "Kissik," featuring the energetic Srileela, known for her dance skills in "Kurchi Madathapetti."
While some may view these songs as mere commercial additions, Sukumar seamlessly integrates them into his narrative, amplifying the film's entertainment quotient and further solidifying his understanding of what resonates with audiences.
These special songs have become a signature element of Sukumar's films, contributing to their commercial success while showcasing his ability to blend entertainment value with carefully crafted narratives.
