Prolific composer Devi Sri Prasad scores an uplifting soundtrack for Maharshi, an inspiring social drama about a successful NRI who becomes a defender of India's agrarian masses. Opener "Padara Padara" is a rousing anthem replete with dense percussion that showcases veteran crooner Shankar Mahadevan's famed vocal range. The track segues easily into bilingual guitar ballad "Choti Choti Baatein", a romantic ditty with an earworm chorus. Master lyricist Shreemani is at his best on "Everest Anchuna", a rollicking ode to heroic ambition.
