Mani Sharma Struggling To Regain His Form In Tollywood
The Golden Era of Mani Sharma
Mani Sharma, once regarded as one of the top music composers in the Telugu film industry, has undeniably left an indelible mark. Known for crafting timeless music in the early 2000s, he delivered countless hits that resonated with the audience. However, over the last few years, it seems the magic has dwindled, with Mani Sharma struggling to regain the form that once set him apart.
A Comeback With Gentleman and iSmart Shankar
After a series of setbacks, Mani Sharma made a surprising comeback with Nani’s Gentleman in 2016, which brought his music back into the limelight. The soundtrack received wide appreciation and led many to believe that Mani was back on top. Then, he struck gold once again with the 2019 hit iSmart Shankar, collaborating with Puri Jagannath. This soundtrack, filled with energetic tunes, gave Mani a much-needed resurgence, rekindling hope among his fans.
Struggling to Find His Rhythm Again
Despite his resurgence with iSmart Shankar, Mani Sharma seems to have entered another unsettling phase. After composing music for some high-profile projects like Megastar Chiranjeevi’s Acharya, he’s been unable to replicate his past success. Movies like Shakuntalam, Sridevi Soda Center, Seetimaarr, Republic, Narappa, and Red failed to make an impact at the box office, and the music didn’t fare any better. Criticism has started pouring in that Mani Sharma may have lost his touch.
Recent Disappointments
Adding to the growing list of underwhelming albums, films such as Bedurulanka 2012, Bhala Tandanana, Ala Ila Ela, Mr. King, and Jilebi also failed to leave a mark musically. Despite attempts to revive his magic, these films haven’t helped Mani Sharma reclaim his place at the top. His fans had high expectations when he teamed up again with Puri Jagannath for Double iSmart, but the music didn’t provide the boost the film needed, leaving many disappointed.
Hopes for Another Resurgence
Despite the setbacks, Mani Sharma’s loyal fanbase is still holding onto hope. The industry too is eagerly waiting to see if Mani Sharma can turn things around and rise to the occasion once again. His legacy in Tollywood remains intact, but the current challenge lies in proving that he can still deliver blockbuster music in an evolving industry.
Conclusion
Mani Sharma’s career has seen numerous highs and lows. While his recent struggles have led to skepticism about his future, the Telugu audience still believes that the composer, who once dominated the charts, can make a triumphant return. All eyes are now on his next projects, as fans eagerly await another hit album from this once-dominant composer.
