Kannada film music

[Sudarshan C R]

Another golden song pick by you Rajesh. This is a story of sage who wrote ‘Ramayana’. The film had Rajkumar as ‘valmiki’ and produced by Jupiter Films. Not much information available about this film. Melodious music is by legend Shri Ghantasala. Although 10-12 songs were there in the film, only 3 songs are in circulation to listen.
1 Jalala jalala jala dhare
2 Anuragadale anandanele
3 Bhagavan


The lyric is follows:

citra: vAlmIki (1963)
gAyana: pi sushIla/kOras
saMgIta: GaMTasAla
sAhitya: kaNagAl prabhAkara shAstri

hello michelle,

Conventional/traditional instruments are like TAbla, Dolak, Mrudangam (for beats), stringed instruments like Violin, Veena, Sarod, Sitar and wind instruments like Flute, Clarionet, etc., (for BGM). In that song 'cheluva chandana' they have used electronically produced sounds.

Veteran singer ‘P Leela’ is no more today. I came to know this on the net. A great loss to South Indian film music.

‘Tribhuvana janani jaganmohini’ a semi classical song from the film Premada putri(1957) is a popular one even today.

She has sung very melodious numbers for Kannada films during1950 – 1970. Solo, duets, chorus songs with legends like Ghantasala, TM Soundararajan, Sirkali Govindarajan and also with Bhanumathi, Jikki, Rani, Sarojini, LR Eshwari and others.

Films like Satya Harishandra, Ratnagiri Rahasya, Nagarjuna, Veerakesari, Maya bazaar to name a few.

Some of the selected songs are available here.
