Most of the above are from the 'popular' genre and won either the Filmfare
awards or the "best regional film" awards (I could be wrong about Chandavalliya
Thota tho'). Many Kannada films won the national "Best film" awards as well as
awards for best actor/actress, director etc. Some of them :Vamshavriksha (Based on SL Bhyrappa's novel - V'Wardhan's first film??)
Chomana Dudi (Shivarama Karanth's novel)
Kaadu (Krishna Alanahalli's novel)
Kakana Kote (loosely based on Masti's novel/poem)
Ondaanondu Kaaladalli (Shankar Nag won the best actor award at a major European
film festival - was it Venice?)
Tabarana Kathe (Poornachandra TEjaswi novel - Charu Hasan - best actor)
Kaadu Kudure (natn'l best singer - Shimoga Subbanna)
Shankaracharya (not Strictly Kannada but directed by our "own" GV Iyer)The list goes on ....Of course not all of the above are "old" but the standards they atta-
ined in terms cinematic quality and as compelling human dramas are timeless.
Good topic to reminesce tho'regards,

You are correct about that. The producers/directors seem to have run
out of imagination even in selecting the names of the movies. In most
of the cases, the title is a good indication of how much "Maaramaari"
and how much obscenity the movie contains. Perhaps we should be grateful
to the producers/directors for this :-)Btw, it would be amusing to just list the kind of movie titles we see
nowadays. Anybody willing ?>

Friends,
After seeing the list of films above I could'nt work for around
half an hour as I sat reminiscing. I really never gave a serious
thought about these as long as I was in Blore. Songs from these
films were a regular fare on Vividh Bharati in the mornings. How I
miss them here !! If you observe the list, most of the films are Dr.Raj films and
most of them have one thing in common -- the golden voice of one
and only PB Srinivas. It is a sheer delight and almost a spiritual experience to listen
to his sentimental songs. I particularly remember the "aadisi nodu"
song from the exquisite Kasturi nivasa. The tragic version of the
song never fails to really move me. I also remember the "baare baare" song from Nagara havu. As usual,
Puttanna Kanagals picturization is absolutely breathtaking and the
song simply mind blowing. I think it is really a tragedy that PB is now relegated to singing
one or two stanzas of shloka at the beginning of a movie when a Gods
portrait is being shown. We have really mistreated one of the richest
voices in the kannada filmdom.Nagaraj

If I remember right, the "Torino" ad song ("KuDiyutha KuDiyutha paravashavoo...)
was sung by PB after he was completely neglected by the film industry.
It was very sad to see such a thing happen.>Nagaraj
Also the movie where Anantnag cuts off his tongue is
"HamsaGeete" - not "Hamsaraga".Also, did you know that P.B. Srinivas sang Urdu songs in
Pakistan, and the organisers, exalted by his singing, named him
"Srinivas Khan"?One of my favourite P.B. songs is "Binkada Singari" from
the movie "KanyaRatna" starring Rajkumar, Leelavathi.nagasimha
I recently visited Bangalore (you might remember my bitch about how
it's gone to the dogs). Anyway, my brother got hold of a compilation of
songs from this era and the nostalgia of hearing them again after so
many years completely overwhelmed me. Mind you, I was not one of those
Rajkumar Bhaktas (like one of my cousins who saw Bangarada Manushya a
100 times) and my interests were more into Western rock and pop than
Kannada film songs even then but constantly hearing it at home grew upon
me I guess (to borrow a phrase, you might take a boy out of Kannada,
but you cannot take Kannada out of a boy :-)). One song that comes to mind is "Panchama Veda, Premada Nada" from
Gejje Pooje, I believe. Absolutely beautiful rendition by P.B.. And
another was "Balu aparoopa namjodi, yentha kacherigu naav ready" where
he sings a duet.

I think his career took a nosedive when Rajkumar started singing his
own songs. And at about this time, S.P. started making it big in Kannada
films. However, he used to sing in Telugu and I have also heard a song
of his in Tulu. I wonder how this part of his career went?Regards,

I was not a (commercial) kannada movie, commercial kannada movie
songs person. I have hardly seen twenty Dr Raj Kumar movies in
all - most of them older ones and may be two or three times that
many commercial kannada movies. But here are the ones that come
to my mind right now (by the way it depends on when you ask me -
with so many to choose from ... however, the first two are most
likely to be on any of my lists!):
1. Bagilanu teredu .... (Bhakta Kanaka Dasa/ M Venkat Raju)
2. Etaneega Vasudevanoa ... (School Master/ T G Lingappa)
3. Vaidehi yenaadaloa ... (Deshavatara / ??)
4. Nee bandu nintaaga ... (Kasturi Nivasa/??)
5. Uttara druvandin ... (Sharapanjara/ ??)
6. Barede neenu .... (Seeta?/ ??)
7. ...

Bangarada manushya, the chronicle of Dr. Rajakumar, a popular Kannada film actor. The book Bangarada Manushya surmises the achievements of Rajkumar both on and off the screen. This book is a referral volume on Kannada film industry, for it is rich in details of the growth and evolution of the Kannada Film Industry. The book released at Washington D.C., New Jersey and also at Kuwite. "You have given me everything I have now and I can only give you my love," these words of the veteran actor were not a part of any script, when he was felicitated by the government for completing 50 years in the Kannada film industry. They were real, golden words which his fans had longed for. As the applause continued, Rajkumar said: "I am very happy today..This is no ordinary happiness." And when chief minister N. Dharam Singh stood to felicitate the thespian, the crowd went absolutely berserk. Even before the event took off, the setting was perfect with fans being entertained with songs and dialogues from Rajkumar's movies. Information minister B. Shivaram who released Bangarada Manushya, a book on Rajkumar's lifetime achievement authored by information department officer A.N. Prahalada Rao. Deputy CM Siddaramaiah too felicitated Rajkumar.The venue was also flooded with stars from the film industry. Senior actor Vishnuvardhan surprised everyone by falling at Rajkumar's feet and garlanding him before setting off to speak about him.

My college friends speak Kannada very well. so I love this language. I love the kannada songs. I listen kannada songs. some songs meaning I understand. I want to transcription in English of the song "Gaganave Baagi" from Sanju Weds Geetha.
