Om Kara Nadanu Sandanamau Gaanamae
Vishwanath's musical hit, Sankarabharanam (The Jewel of Shiva), is often presented as the film that transformed the Telugu film industry in 1980s. Proudly identifying with the grand Karnatic musical tradition of the Telugus, the movie introduced classical music to the mass audiences and went on to become a runaway success. Also remarkable is the fact that S.P.Balasubramanyam flawlessly rendered all the songs with no previous classical training or experience. 😃
Veturi Sundararaamamurthy's lyrics add a whole new dimension of depth to the remarkable songs in this movie. Unfortunately, they might remain inaccessible even to many Telugu speaking people, especially the younger ones today.
