On the contrary, a war cry style song arrives next with high voltage rhythm section, usage of strings and trombone giving an ancient feel throughout.

A classical number in the lines of Hindustani Raag Jog sung by the legendary SPB and he single handedly carries the song over his shoulders with his vocals. Despite the strong north Indian flavours, the song manages to impress with its richness and royal approach. The interludes have a touch of Raag Puriya Dhansri but again arrives to the original realms.

Singer: Vijayprakash,Keerti Sagathiya
Lyricist: Seetarama Sastry
The inspirational mode is retaind with this power packed number with the high voltage vocals of Vijay Prakash.

The song has a feel of Lord of the Rings theme but retains the Telugu nativity with great vigor.
