Check his blog at http://sridiary.blogspot.com His online radio site and the Kannada music forums are at http://www.kannadaaudio.net and http://www.kannadaaudio.com The VCD which I acquired in 2008 turned out to be a pirated copy ! This was confirmed by Mr. RGV Rao of GN Films, Chennai who is now the official world rights holder of this film and is planning a technicolour release in near future. He contacted me (Dec 2010) and promised me to give me an official copy and a poster to publish on this page. Mr. Rao confirmed that a truncated version of the song "oy gum gum" was used in the film, so there isn't any full version. I found it difficult to believe. This song has a completely different arrangement compared to the original Bengali song by Sabita "Ei ghum ghum ghumanta". However, one mustn't complain. The most beautiful song of this film is undoubtedly " Sanje tangaaLi maisOkalu" and it was a great find. The original Bengali song "aaj noi gun gun gunjan premer" by Lata is an immensely popular song and it is also a fantastic composition but the Kannada version is equally beautiful and has a completely different feel. The other surprise in this film is a little piece of excuisite background music with wonderful rich orchestra and Sabita softly singing "kaise manau piwawaa" from the Hindi film "Chardeewaari". Typical Salil - using a hindi song in a kannada film as a background. |
