‘Intha Istamaa’ – The catchy new song from Telugu’s ‘Comrade Kalyan’ that’s got everyone humming

When you hear the opening beats of “Intha Istamaa,” it’s hard not to tap your foot. The song is the newest musical offering from the Telugu‑language film Comrade Kalyan, a drama that’s already making a little buzz thanks to its ensemble cast and socially‑charged plot.

Directed by Janakiram Marella, the movie follows the story of Kalyan (played by Sree Vishnu) as he navigates love, politics and family drama. Alongside him, Mahima Nambiar, Radhika Sarathkumar and Shine Tom Chacko bring depth to the narrative. But it’s the soundtrack that’s been catching ears, especially the peppy number “Intha Istamaa.”

The track is sung by the young, soulful voice of Ram Miriyala, who’s been turning heads with his recent indie releases, and the fresh female vocalist Lipsika Bhashyam. Their chemistry is evident; Miriyala’s raspy charm pairs nicely with Bhashyam’s bubbly tones, creating a feel‑good duet that feels both modern and rooted in Telugu musical traditions.

Behind the scenes, composer Vijai Bulganin has woven a lively arrangement that blends electronic synths with traditional percussion. The result is a foot‑tapping rhythm that doesn’t overwhelm the listener – it invites you to sing along. The lyrics, penned by veteran lyricist Bhaskarabhatla Ravi Kumar, playfully flirt with the idea of an impossible romance, asking the beloved, “Is this love okay?” in a colloquial, almost teasing manner.

Visually, the music video is a colourful montage of street‑level energy and cinematic moments from the film. The director chose to intersperse clips of the lead pair’s chemistry with lively crowd scenes, giving viewers a taste of the movie’s broader social backdrop while keeping the focus on the song’s carefree vibe.

Since its release on the Times of India’s video platform, “Intha Istamaa” has racked up a respectable number of views and sparked a wave of user‑generated dance videos on social media. Fans are especially fond of the quirky choreography, which blends contemporary moves with a few traditional steps – a nod, perhaps, to the film’s larger theme of blending old and new.

If you haven’t given it a listen yet, the track is already available across all major streaming services. Whether you’re a die‑hard fan of Telugu cinema or just looking for a new feel‑good anthem for your playlist, “Intha Istamaa” offers a burst of optimism that’s hard to resist.
