27 Famous Telugu Songs

11. “Ra Ra Reddy I Am Ready” by Aditya Iyengar and Lipsika

Song Year: 2022

As you might expect from the name, “Ra Ra Reddy” is an upbeat and peppy song. The lyrics focus on a somewhat lazy man who would instead just switch on a heater or a cooler, depending on the season.

However, upon finding love, he starts feeling the desire to act more maturely and change himself a little.

12. “Saami Saami (Telugu)” by Mounika Yadav

Song Year: 2021

Saami Saami is a female-view love song full of yearning and overwhelming desire. In it, the singer focuses on her love for the one she calls her lord and how simply talking can make her feel the overwhelming passion.

However, it also includes a little fear, including a desire not to be left alone or looked at with anger. That’s a sentiment most people in love can share.

13. “Netho Cheppana” by S. P. Balasubrahmanyam and K. S. Chithra

Song Year: 2005

A little more classic than some of the songs on this list, “Netho Cheppana” is a thoughtful and reflective song. Its primary focus is understanding, especially how people hesitate and miss things in a relationship.

Communication is the most critical part of any experience people have with each other, so any lack of understanding can cause problems, especially in romance.

14. “Buttabomma” by Armaan Malik

Song Year: 2020

Although the name might look amusing to an English speaker, “Buttabomma” is one of the most popular Telugu songs ever, winning several significant accolades the year after it came out.

The romantic lyrics focus on an inability to restrain from love and how many things the singer has experienced drastically exceed what they expected.

15. “Eyy Bidda Idhi Naa Adda (Telugu)” by Nakash Aziz

Song Year: 2021

“Eyy Bidda Idhi Naa Adda” is similar to what English-focused audiences might call a “villain song,” as its primary character talks about how the land around is his territory. He’ll be doing what he wants within it.

In addition to being an excellent look at one of the characters in the film it’s from, this song stands alone as a deeper-tuned Telugu song that isn’t about love.

16. “Pataas Pilla” by Anirudh Ravichander

Song Year: 2022

“Pataas Pilla” is a surprisingly melodic song considering its lyrics, with the primary focus being the singer’s thoughts about someone he calls a “firecracker girl.”

As the translation implies, he’s referring to a romantic partner who’s explosive and attention-getting, and he doesn’t quite know how to respond to all of it, nor the feelings left behind when she’s gone.

17. “Poovullo Daagunna” by Unni Krishnan and Sujatha Mohan

Song Year: 1998

“Poovullo Daagunna” is a classical Telugu love song, where the singer uses comparison to try and explain the wonder he feels.

The lyrics include comparisons to flowers, birds, and flute music and a few thoughts on how departure and arrival can affect feelings. It’s a fundamentally straightforward and optimistic song, making it easy to listen to.

18. “Bhale Bhale Banjara” by Shankar Mahadevan and Rahul Sipligunj

Song Year: 2022

“Bhale Bhale Banjara” is an upbeat and energetic song about freedom and action. The lyrics focus on talking about a tiny spark igniting passion and the desire to impact parties and the people around with friendly mischief.

However, the song also takes a few lines to remind the listener that their neighbors and friends remain part of one’s life, which can be all too easy to forget.

19. “Apudo Ipudo” by Siddharth

Song Year: 2006

“Apudo Ipudo” is one of the main songs of the 2006 film Bommarillu, which focuses on the tale of a father’s excessive concern for his son, causing a rift between them. Although Bommarillu has been surpassed in recent years by India’s rapidly-growing movie market, it was one of the most popular Telugu movies ever made at the time of its release.

The lyrics of “Apudo Ipudo” focus on thoughts drifting toward love, especially in the middle of work. People who are deeply in love often feel a sense of connection regardless of physical distance, and this love song brings that idea to the forefront.

20. “Nee Tholisariga” by Usha

Song Year: 2002

Usha’s “Nee Tholisariga” is a song about first encounters. In it, she sings about trying to figure out if someone is a dream or reality and of the confusion about whether the encounter is a blessing or a curse. Relationships can be complex, especially if the other person isn’t interested in reciprocating, and that emotion is on full display in this song.
