Forget Bollywood beats and sugary pop anthems, “Samayama” from the Telugu film “Hi Nanna” is a soulful serenade that unfolds like a blossoming love story set to traditional Indian melodies. The song, which features the mesmerizing voices of Anurag Kulkarni and Sithara Krishnakumar and lyrics written by the talented Anantha Sriram, depicts a man who is enamored with a woman’s ethereal beauty in vivid detail.
Imagine lush visuals from the film’s music video, with Nani and Mrunal Thakur playing the star-crossed lovers. Anurag Kulkarni’s voice soars, “Oh, time! You’ve gifted my eyes with her beauty. Isn’t it enough?” His plea echoes the desperation of a man falling head over heels, his every thought consumed by this vision. Sithara Krishnakumar’s playful response, “Where would this story go? Where do you think she is going?” brings a touch of coquettish charm to the exchange, adding a layer of playful banter to their budding romance.
The lyrics, translated from Telugu, are a tapestry of metaphors and similes, each verse celebrating the woman’s captivating presence. “Your eyes have drunk all the blue from the sky,” sings Kulkarni, his words evoking a depth of feeling that transcends language. Composer Hesham Abdul Wahab masterfully complements the lyrics with a melody that blends traditional Indian instruments with contemporary arrangements, creating a soundscape that soothes and uplifts.
