The Mani-Rahman-Sirivennela magic
- IndiaGlitz, [Wednesday,February 01 2017]
The 'Sirivennela' magic is back, in association with Mani Ratnam and AR Rahman. The visuals of 'Hamsaro' from 'Cheliyaa' released today, is simply the best in terms of the visuals (cinematography is by Ravi Varman), the choreography, the performances (a de-mustachioed Karthi is emotive and a blissful Adity Rao is expressive), besides being high on aesthetic beauty.
The Mozart of Madras seems to have given pride of place, once again, to the guitar (by Keba Jeremiah) and the backing vocals (Sid Sriram, Bawa Sahni, Keerthi Sagathia).
Rendered by Arjun Chandy, Haricharan, Jonita Gandhi, the full song is expected to be on the chart-busters for weeks on end. The Punjabi backdrop is brought out through additional lyrics (by Navneeth Virk). But Seetharama Sastry's poetry, we hope, won't be as esoteric as Punjabi, Greek, Latin or whatever alien language you can think of!
