Janani ninnu vina - top class, mesmerising
Srikanta (Dedicated to violinist, Srikant?)- impeccable swarasthanams in such a high tempo, good allround support from accompanists too
RTP - Ragam section was quite soothing and interesting, Thanam-superb, Pallavi - a big round of ragamalika & swaras, Accompanists played subtle to grace it some more & we could actually concentrate on the verses, nuances of singing. Ithanai menakketu paadanuma? When many get away with the beaten path of popular numbers ! Well, that is how you distinguish yourself from the others, so please cotinue.

This graduated the rasikas of Mudhra to the next level.
In my humble opinion, this could stand out to be the best of the season. But, those who listened to you in Karthik FA opined that, that concert bettered this one. With some more to come, I would say, you compete with yourself.
