Film: Anta Mana Manchike
Music: Bhanumati & Satyam
Lyrics: G. N. Balasubramaniam
(The way Bhanumati rendered this great composition made me speechless. Whatever doubts I had about Bhanumati's musical skills - they were just blown away. GNB's lyrics are unique - they are nothing but a total surrender to the feet of Parvati, the supreme Mother. Bhanumati like Satyajit Ray did everything in a movie: story, script, lyrics, music, acting, and direction. For many decades to come, she will be fondly remembered by the Telugu community for her special voice, vocal talents, and flawless diction. Music just came to her as water to a duck (brook). When I watched her sing this song in the movie, immediately I was hooked to it - as I could see the fusion of two great artists.)
