Pataas’s Dhamki Maaro Telugu Lyrics English Translation
The song’s protagonist declares his station operates as a personal bank. Sri Mani’s lyrics note humans have expiration dates, but money remains valid indefinitely. Tippu delivers these lines with charismatic defiance.
Aagaya Hyderabad Ka Naya NawabHyderabad’s new ruler has arrived.
