Veteran Telugu actor Nandamuri Balakrishna’s, (better known as Nbk) latest film ‘Bhagvanth Kesari’ has dropped the video for its song ‘Roar of Kesari’. A rocking, attitude-laden song, the ‘Roar of Kesari’ is an anthem of pure groove that highlights incredible power. Combining folk, classical, film music, rock, electronic, industrial, and techno, the ‘Roar of Kesari’ is extremely catchy and emits swag and power by fusing musical experimentation with a gangster vibe, despite ‘Bhagvanth Kesari’ not really being a gangster film.
The instrumentation is simple, but also packs in quite a wallop with its stylistic choices making it extremely appealing for the mainstream audience, particularly with its captivating rhythm.
The chorus is incredibly good and catchy, though what hits in better than anything is the percussion that drives the rhythm.

TollywoodThe movie is confused between being a thriller, a comedy, a supernatural thriller and therein lies its biggest problem. Krishna SripadaYouTube screengrabAt the outset, let's establish the context: Taxiwaala has been touted as a supernatural comedy thriller. Arguing against the logic of the movie would be like arguing against the veracity of supernatural elements and a film shouldn't really pay for someone's lack of belief in supernatural occurrences. So, let's assume the movie makes a massive assumption that it is possible to separate the soul from the body. Did it stay consistent, at least to that premise? Simple answer: No. Taxiwaala is Rahul Sankrityan's second movie, a fact that should exonerate him to a certain extent.
