The direct translation of ‘ishtam’ being ‘like’ or, the melodious new number has not just been liked but loved by several Tollywood fans. The number begins with a groovy bass line that is sure to make the listener’s head bob, quickly followed by folk instruments that bring out a sense of nostalgia.

The music video is well made and could evoke the feeling of appreciation for the smaller things in life. The lyrics suggest several qualities of that one special loved one, that human beings most commonly miss out on while hustling out their daily routine. This song, is about the adoration that Dimple Hayathi has for Ravi Teja that is portrayed.
