For #2 - my notes have mmg? sbaranam?

+ voice
+ tempo, absolutely engaging tempo with no sagging whatsoever
- Either Bharath has Abishekitis or vice versa. Neither seems to know that enough is enough. Would be great to stop when you have given enough to make the audience want more rather than go "oh when will they stop". One particular swara sequence went for 2m 30 secs non stop.
- time management, subhapantuvarALi Alapanai went for about 20 mins and then he announced he planned to sing a RTP but had to sing only a kriti for lack of time
