Mixed reactions to anthem ‘Jaya Jayahe Telangana’

Must read

The Telangana government officially announced the State’s official song on the occasion of the 10th Formation Day of the State on Sunday, June 2. There was mixed reactions to the song as many felt that the music did not suit it while others felt the tune is good.
Most people say that the music of this song is quite similar to a cinematic melody. Vallapu Lokesh from Mahabubabad district said, “The music has been arranged in a cinematic style. They should have sung in a Telangana way as rugged and rustic. In the agitation time and before that Telangana people used to listen to folk songs. It would have been good if the composer used folk music for this song.
On the contrary, J Kiran Kumar said that when Jaya Jayahe song was released in the time of agitation, some sections of the people did not like it. In the same way they will be used to this song. “I personally liked the song. Also, some sections of the society persistently oppose the decision to make MM Keeravani to set the tune.”
Shyamala Tulasi Reddy said, “The old version of the song was raw and rugged. But this new version of the composition has not met with emotions of the old version.”
Some sections of the people are expressing dismay towards changing the lyrics in the song. Pothuraju Venkanna said, “The soul of the song has been missed in the song. This way of composition may not reverberate with the agitation of Telangana and its culture. Also, some of the lyrics have been changed, which I did not like, particularly, replacing the word ‘Bhagyanagari’ instead of ‘Nawabula’ word in the song. I think this change is unnecessary for the song.”
