Just back from "Sri Rama Rajyam" premier show. Spellbinding score by our Maestro. I don't think we have ever heard such a melodious background score in any other Indian film so far. IR lifts the film to international standards. Movie itself is near perfect. Kudos to Dir Bapu, Nayantara, and the visual effects team. Sri Rama Rajyam sets the standards so high, that it seems almost impossible for any other film in future to match this, especially, in the music department

Music by Ilayaraja is the soul of the film. Every song is good and the background score is excellent.
Rediff's review:
"...Ilaiyaraja's music is a great asset. The music is not just mellifluous to the ears with some good lyrics by Jonnavithula but is absolutely in sync with the film. Ilaiyaraja is known for his melody and he's proved he's definitely a master of melody. ..."

Saw 'SreeRamaRajyam' today. Here is an analysis I wrote on twitter:
Well made movie. Bapu's control is evident throughout. A steady screenplay, with neither highs nor lows. Lot of money spent on sets and graphics but tastefully done. Bapu ensures that the movie doesn't get too melodramatic and keeps things under control. Balakrishna looks old but must be lauded for doing a role which is no 'non heroic'. No special dialogs for him. Nayantara looks pretty and the Lava Kusa kids do their job well. Their roles nicely detailed by Bapu. Raja's music and photography / art deco are key to keeping the audience attention. Raja is phenomenal in BGM. The BGM when Sita comes to see her own statue and the end credits are top class. I wish they would release teh end credits. And the way Raja weaves the BGM against the 'sreekaram manoharam' phrase is sheer genius. All in all, a nice movie. Treat for the eyes and ears. Don't expect anything earth shaking and you shall be rewarded. Wish someone would record the end credits of 'SreeRamaRajyam' and post in on the web.
Now waiting for Plum's detailed review.
It is a firmly old-fashioned movie, so much so that I am skeptical of the national awards so confidently predicted. In an era of Anurag. Kashyap style reinterpretations, the only way such a movie would work is if it is a modern rework with Seetha possibly being a politician's wife who moves in with Ravana or something after he banishes her. I can imagine the awards committee looking askance at each other at the old fashioned story telling and screenplay techniques. So, let's get that out first - no national awards, not even for the music, for if the movie fails to engage them, what attention they'll pay to the music. Likely to be dismissed as melodramatic. Yet, that is precisely what appeals to fans of a bygone era of mythological costume drama. Afterall, Ravi Varma is art, too, though he is likely to be sneered at by World-Art patronising Picasso and Van Gogh (only). (Contd)
