GV Prakash Kumar’s journey in Tollywood has indeed seen a mix of highs and lows. For Telugu directors, finding versatile music composers who can blend with modern trends while maintaining a unique style is challenging. While Thaman and Devi Sri Prasad remain popular choices, their availability is limited. Amidst this, GV Prakash is emerging as a worthy alternative in the music space in South.
Despite some recent misses, GV Prakash has shown his ability to elevate a film’s atmosphere, especially through background scores. For instance, in Lucky Bhaskar, his retro-styled BGM was praised for enhancing the period setting without overpowering it.
His recent work for Siva Karthikeyan’s Amaran in the City has also received positive feedback, particularly for its subtlety and emotional resonance, allowing the film’s narrative to breathe rather than relying on heavy-handed elevations.
Upcoming projects in Tollywood, such as Varun Tej’s Matka and Nithiin’s Robin Hood, present fresh opportunities for GV Prakash to showcase his versatility. Matka, directed by Karuna Kumar, promises to be an intense mafia biopic, and the trailer suggests a gritty tone that GV Prakash’s score could deepen.
With Robin Hood, director Venky Kudumula’s knack for delivering hit songs might also result in an impressive album. Besides, GV Prakash’s involvement in ambitious projects like Surya 43 and Vikram Veeradhira Sooran adds to the anticipation surrounding his future works.
We hope to see GV Prakash score more hits and take advantage over the limited availability of star composers.
