'Geethanjali' was Mani Ratnams first and only full fledged film directed in Telugu. It was subsequently dubbed in Tamil as 'Idhayathai Thirudathe'. The movie received much publicity and catapulted Nagarjuna into a pronounced romantic hero back in the day.
The soundtrack of this album is nothing short of stellar with every number individually being sterling to say the very least. The breathtakingly cinematic cinematography also had a major role to play in elevating the screen presence of the songs from the movie. The lush green presence of Ooty by portraying it's hills and landscapes in all it's splendour enhanced both the visual panorama and aural experience a notch further above.
'Oh Priya Priya' can be considered to be an eternal timeless classic. The layered orchestration enables a dream like setting emitting golden hues and it just gets all the more rosy with the crystal clear rendition from the duo of SPB and Chitra who ooze all their soul into this lustrous composition. The overall musicality puts this number in the higher echelons of songs to have ever been composed.
It was pretty testing to even attempt playing this song. This melody has such beautiful curves sprouted throughout it's timeline and also introduces alternative notes from time to time giving it such a finesse elevation. This song transcends time and by all means is a golden gem in every way. It was truly a joy dream even trying to play this memorable composition.
