Song Review: ‘Sada Nannu’ (‘Mahanati’)

Sirivennela Seetharama Sastry pens sublime lyrics for this song that seems to be about two love stories set in two different periods.  ’Kalam narthinchada neetho jathai, pranam suminchada nee kosamai’ is a phenomenally profound line.  

If the film’s first single (‘Mooga Manasulu’) had a ‘Brahmotsavam’ hangover, for this song, Mickey J Meyer attempts his hand at classical music.  And he comes out with flying colours.  Phani Narayana Vadali’s Veena and Ravi Shankar’s Flute is mellifluous. Charulatha Mani renders the melody to a soothing effect.  Her voice has the grace of a consummate classical singer.

‘Mahanati’, directed by Nag Ashwin, will hit the screens on May 9.  A biopic of Savitri, it has Keerthy Suresh and Dulquer Salman playing Savitri and Gemini Ganesan, respectively.  The film’s audio is out, one song at a time, on Aditya Music.  The full jukebox will be unveiled on May 1.
