Autonagar Surya is the soundtrack album to the 2014 film of the same name directed by Deva Katta starring Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth Prabhu. The film's soundtrack featured seven songs composed by Anup Rubens and lyrics written by Anantha Sriram. The release of the film's soundtrack delayed multiple times due to the film's postponements, before eventually being released on 31 January 2014. The music received mixed response with criticism for its placement, while the background score was well received.
Background and release
editAutonagar Surya marked Rubens' maiden collaboration with Chaitanya and Katta. The film's soundtrack consisted of seven songs, according to Katta, where two of them would be used in the titles and end credits, respectively.[1]
The music launch was delayed multiple times, which was attributed to the film's production troubles.[2] Initially, it was scheduled during the last week of September 2013, which did not happen.[2] After filming of the last song featuring Chaitanya and Samantha, the producers planned to conduct the film's music launch on the occasion of Chaitanya's birthday, 23 November 2013.[3] But by mid-November, they had one more song to be filmed, which was the item number "Hyderabadi Biriyani",[4] which led the team to postpone the event to 30 November; the same day, the film's production has been wrapped.[5]
By the second week of December 2013, Rubens commenced re-recording the film's music and background score.[6] At late-December, when the film's re-recording and sound mixing activities were happening parallelly, Katta confirmed that the film's music will be launched on 9 January 2014.[7] After the post-production, the producers confirmed that the film's music launch will be held on 13 January, the eve of Makar Sankranti.[8]
A press note was released by producer Atchi Reddy on 19 January, that the film's music would be launched at an event on 31 January at Shilpakala Vedika in Hyderabad.[9] Confirming this on 27 January 2014, two audio release posters were issued by the production team.[10] The rights for the soundtrack album were purchased and marketed by Aditya Music. The track list was released on 30 January 2014, through Aditya Music's social media page.[11] The audio launch was held on 31 January 2014. Apart from the film's cast and crew, the other members who attended the event were Sukumar and Sharwanand, with Rana Daggubati as the chief guest.[12][13]
Reception
editUpon release, the album received mixed-to-positive response from the critics. IndiaGlitz reviewed the film's soundtrack and directed praise for its lyrics and added "The choice of singers lends the album a youthful and joyous feel."[14] Cinekorn.com gave a mixed review, with a rating of 2.5 out of 5, stating that "In the end, two decent melody numbers save the album from being a complete let down."[15] Karthik Srinivasan of Milliblog described the soundtrack as a "mixed bag".[16] Sangeetha Devi Dundoo of The Hindu reviewed that while "few songs look sorely out of place", she complimented the background score as it "add to the intensity".[17] Suresh Kavirayani of Deccan Chronicle wrote "Anoop Rubens’ music has not hit the mark and the songs are average."[18] Ritika Handoo of Zee News wrote "the music by Anoop Rubens adds to the feel of the movie."[19] Karthik Pasupulate of The Times of India called the music to be "run-of-the-mill" and the background score to be the "other bright spot in an otherwise mediocre product."[20]
