Mahathi has got a a very pleasant voice that traverses all the three sthayis with consumable ease and she has got training under stalwarts like Balamuralikrishna, TNS and OST. Her concerts are always lively, enjoyable, vidwath laden and her sojourn with the other genre music namely film music never enters the CM arena. She has distinctly kept them separate. I liked her selection of songs in this concert. This concert of two and half hours duration was totally packed. Parithanamichite had an interesting chittaswaram which I have heard only from TNS earlier. The three ragas Kumudakriya, Thodi and Chalanata were rendered elaborately. Thodi ragam consumed 17 minutes and the other two ragams ten minutes each. That shows her planning. The alapanas with long akara sangathis, rounded brighas, jarus and rich swaras with interesting combinations were pointers to her rich manodharmam. In Thodi she made grahabhedam to Saramathi. There was a distinct stamp of TNS in her alapanas and kalpana swaras. Her patantharam is authentic. I think the thillana by BMK is on Thyagaraja.
The RTP was given due respect. It consumed 35 minutes. The alapana had a HM flavour. I thought it is Jog till she announced the name of the ragam. Customary trikalam was executed with precision. In the RM segment, Hamsanandi, Sindubhairavi , and Lathangi were presented. Mysore Srikanth’s raga alapanas were soaked in raga bhavam and his returns were most appropriate. Delhi Sairam and BSP embellished the concert with their deft strokes and anticipation.
An excellent concert for two and half hours.

If I recall correctly, till i read the review I did not know about the Eppadi than en ullam pugunthu ennai adimai kondeero swami- Neelambari- OVK krithi . I just googled to find OS Arun and TN Seshagopalan have rendered the same . She must have very likely learnt this krithi from TNS. Pallavi has a nice chalanata mudhra in it .Tx for your review.
