[ [My aplogies, if this message appears twice in your mailbox. Submitted it once in the morning, but didn't receive any copy. --Sreenivas] > 1. "vinaraa bhaarata veera kumaaraa" (burrakatha) - FILM: ? - PLAYBACK: ? Should be from: poola rangaDu (1962). I amn't 100% sure though. Its clearly a (China) war-propaganda song. Playback - G & co > 2. naajar et al from aggiraamuDu. 1954, alloori seetaaraamaraaju katha, Lyrics (& tune): Nazar : S.M. Subbayya Naidu > 5. prakaaSam pantulu jeevita charitra. Some Vijaya Chandar Production from mid-80s!? Don't remember the film title though! > I am not sure about "puttaDi bommaa poorNamma" in "kanyaasulkam" It is sung in burra katha style. As Krishna wrote there are a couple of more from G: > There is one burrakatha each in vichitrabandhaM and poolarangaDu both by > G and SuSeela. Also, another by G in pettandaarlu. > I guess it was kind of an attraction in some of the old movies to start > and end the story as a burrakatha. At least I can think of 2 movies > (gulEbakaavaLi and kAmbhOjaraaju kathalu) which are narrated as > burrakathalu while the entire movie (actual story) is shown. Even the film "vinaayakachaviti" (1957, M: G) comes under this category. Regards, Sreenivas
