If you just talk about Dasari's music taste during his 10 years of scintillating film career (1973 - 1983) and keep the rest of the things about him aside, it is really amazing to see his confidence in choosing a gamut of music directors (belonging to different genres and stuck to different images) for his films during that era. As far as I know, there is no other Telugu film director who has successfully experimented like him with the Telugu songs. All other talented peers like K Raghavendra Rao, Bapu, K Viswanadh, K Bala Chandar etc preferred to choose one "aasthaana" music director during the best period of their careers, but none of these gentlemen never dared to experiment like Dasari did. It is unfortunate that some people still remember him as a film director with repetitive and boring film dialogues (in the beginning his pun of words was good, but later it became a stale thing) ... but we can not forget/ignore his awesome contribution to the Telugu film melodies during his culminating career period.
