For years, Telugu cinema has seen a healthy rivalry in music between Devi Sri Prasad and Thaman. Devi once enjoyed dominance, but as time passed, Thaman rose to the top. Just when Thaman was at his peak, Tamil sensation Anirudh Ravichander entered the scene, bringing a new wave of competition. With blockbuster scores in films like Jailer, Devara, Anirudh quickly became a favorite for big stars and high-octane mass entertainers.
This naturally put pressure on Thaman, who even hinted in an interview that his answer to all the hype around films like Leo and Jailer would come through OG.
Now that OG has released, it is clear how seriously Thaman took up the challenge. Among all the contributors, his music stands tall as one of the film’s strongest assets. From the very first frame, his background score sets the tone. The elevation scenes and action sequences owe much of their impact to his powerful compositions. Even ordinary moments were lifted to a whole new level with his music.
Many recall how Thaman stunned audiences with his work in Akhanda, but with OG, he seems to have outdone himself. Fans are showering him with praise, saying he promised and delivered, with some even joking that he deserves a temple of his own for this effort.
